Rainy Day!

Well, we are now under a flash flood warning! The apartment looks like its flooding...there is water everywhere! It looks like a river outside the porch! They are pumping water out of the holes around the trees. Ella has had enough of the rain. This morning she would not go to the bathroom in the grass, so I thought she would just come back in the house...no!!!... I turn aroung and she is peeing on the neighbors GREEN welcome mat! YIKES! Not to worry, I got a towel and soaked it all up. It has been raining since yesterday, and I'm hoping that it will be done for a the game tomorrow! I'm so glad for all the rain, but really want to have a great game tomorrow!
Jackson and I went to have lunch with Peter today. Peter has had a very long week and we have not gotten to see him much. So I'm tyring to take advantage of every moment that I can! We are also going to go to dinner with him and some of the other coaches and their wives. He does get to come home for a few hours tomorrow, which is very exciting!!! I'm going to make a big breakfast for when he gets done with practice...I love have breakfast with my husband!
If any of you have time you will have to read the Sports section in the Temple paper today! It mentions Peter going to California this summer and all the work he has put into the summer lifting...and how much it has helped the team for the season! I'm so proud of him and how much work he has put into everything!!!! God has been so faithful to bless ALL of Peters hard work!
I'm so ready for the game! I heard a teacher say that she doesn't like Saturday games because football is suppose to be on Friday nights...I'm thinking that I agree! This season has been so much fun so far, hoping that it continues!
Looking forward to the weekend!

Whats for Dinner: Rosa's (I think)

Playing with the Camera

I have downloaded the software that came with the camera that edits the pictures. I'm still working on learning how to use it, but here are some that I have taken and edited so far! Thought they turned out pretty cute! Loving my camera! Enjoy!

Cleaning Day!

Today has been a day of cleaning! Clean clothes, clean bathrooms, and clean floors. I love the feeling of a clean house! James came by to pick something up and to tell us bye; he leaves for the Army again this weekend! We are looking forward to see him again around Christmas... if he gets leave!
Talked to my mom today. She went to the Doctor again this morning to have him check somethings that are still bothering her after her surgery to remove the cancer. The Doctor has advised for her to have another surgery at the end of this month. It will be a day surgery and she should be on her feet pretty quick! Please pray for her and the doctor if you have a chance!
I'm still trying to realize that today is Wednesday! It feels like Monday for some reason, although I'm not going to complain because we are closer to Sunday! And tonight is treat night!!! Gotta love Wednesdays!
Well, I hope everyone has had a wonderful day!!!

What's for Dinner: Parmesan Chicken, broccoli, and rolls

All snuggled up

Helping with the Laundry...very serious!

Home Again!

Hello all! Jackson and I have had many adventures since my last blog! Friday night was very exciting! We left for Roundrock to go to the game and on the way stopped for dinner at Freddy's. As we were sitting eating a storm rolled in; that is when the phones started going off! It was all the husbands saying that the game had been delayed, but we were going to play!!! So we finished our yummy food, had some custard, and then left for Target. We had to purchase some ponchos for the game! We found red ponchos...Go TIGERS! We finally got to the game about 8:30. The first quarter was underway and we were playing ball!!! The boys looked great and we had another win!!! There are no pictures because it rained on and off the whole game! Jackson stayed snuggled in the sling and slept the whole time! Fun Evening!
Saturday we had a very restful day at home. When daddy got off we had company! James was in town for a visit so we had burgers here at the house. James, Rod, Josh, and Jill came to visit! We ate our burgers, stuffed our faces with brownies and ice cream, and then went down to the pool. We had a wonderful visit full of laughter!
Sunday was a day of rest! Church, nap, and dinner! That is about all we did!
Monday Jackson and I went to San Antonio while Peter went to Dallas to go to the new stadium to scout a team that we will play in a couple of weeks! Peter said it was amazing...sad that I couldn't see it, but so excited for this opportunity for Peter! Hopefully, we will be playing there next year!!!! So Jackson and I met Terri and Amy for a day of yummy food and shopping! Jackson got some supper cute clothes from Carters!!!...such great prices!!!! Also, got to go out for a little while for a girls night...much needed! We left this morning and came back home to have lunch with Peter! The rest of the day has been very lazy...not feeling 100% so taking it easy!

What's for Dinner: Leftovers...poor Peter

Jackson and Layla (not sure how we are spelling

that puppies name!)
Ella(she climbed in the pillow case and
under the pillow)

Three men and a baby

Happy Friday! Well, yesterday was a fun filled day...well not all was fun! Jackson and I took the car to get the oil changed, tired rotated, and the inspection done! That is where it all began. The were changing the oil and brought in the air filter...is was bad!!!...black to be exact. So I had them replace that. Then they came back in and said that I needed 4 new tires! Oh my goodness!...I thought I had a little while longer to be putting some money back, but no! They were right; on all four tires were worn down to the wear bars. So glad that we hadn't lost the tread! So, I went to get a price on tires. Found a great place with great prices and very helpful service. It's not in the greatest part of town, but that is ok! So we now have 4 new fancy tires! Jackson was so great and thank goodness for Bonnie who took us and let me drop the car off. Then we waited at her house and I got a couple of scrap booking pages done while Jackson took a nap!

Well after all that excitement we headed to the football game! We watched JV white and they were so close to a win! It was so fun to watch...so different from last year! The confidence in Belton High School Football is growing and I'm praising the Lord! I'm loving this football season! We were getting ready for the next game and just as it started it began to rain. Thank God for the rain, but I was pretty bummed that we didn't get to watch the rest of the game. Jackson and I headed home where we got ready for bed and headed off to sleepy land!

So we are very excited about the game tonight! I can hardly wait!!! Not sure if I will be able to eat dinner...have a little bit of a nervous stomach! Please pray for every players safety and then for our confidence and pride in the team! Go Belton Tigers!

Off to get ready for the rest of the day! Everyone have a wonderful Friday afternoon and a safe holiday weekend!

What's for Dinner: Going out with the coaches wives! Oh, and the sour cream pork chops were bad...very bad!!!

Our "Little Champ"

Look how big he is!!!

I love that smile!

Making faces for the camera!

We are so blessed! I thank God everyday for the chance to stay home with Jackson!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Jackson and I have spent the day at home. He is not feeling well; he has had a fever on and off since yesterday evening. Poor baby just doesn't feel good. He has slept alot today, I'm hoping that will help him feel better tomorrow! So it has been a pretty slow day around here.
I tried attaching the pics of my scrap booking pages that I have completed, but when I would attach them they ended up sideways. I'm not sure why...but if anyone knows why they would be doing that please tell me!
I have finished paying bills, made a grocery list, done a little house work, and relaxed a bit myself. I was thinking about if I were working I would have had to take the day off today with Jackson running a fever...I'm so glad that I have the opportunity to just be home with him everyday. I praise God everyday for supplying for our needs! God is so good! And I love being a stay at home mom...the best thing in the world!
Found a couple of neat websites in my Baby Talk magazine. The first one is shopittome.com. You set up your free account and then choose your favorite brands and clothing size. The site will search the web for you and tell you were the steals are! The other one is for all those organizers out there!!!...or those who would like to be organized, it is organize.com. There is a memory keeper that I'm going to order to keep all of Jackson's photos in, they are super cute so that I can leave it out and it will look like decoration! Enjoy!
We are looking forward to the next couple of days of football. JV tomorrow night and Varsity on Friday! We will be going to Round Rock and playing at The Palace...it is suppose to be one of the prettiest stadiums. Pretty Fancy! Praying for safe travel and safety for all the players! Hopefully another win for the Belton Tigers! Then on Monday Peter gets to go watch a football game in the new Dallas Stadium, I have to say that I'm pretty jealous! A little sad that he will be away for so long on Monday; but excited for him to get to go! Have to figure out something to do on Monday!
Off to begin dinner!

What's for Dinner- Sour Cream Pork Chops, rice, and veggies

Beginning of a new week!

Hello all!
Yesterday was a wonderful day! Jackson has this sleeping through the night thing down! And now he is sleeping until 6:30 every morning. So our new schedule is breakfast for Jackson, mommy walks and works out, Jackson naps, mommy does house work, then Jackson eats again...then it just depends on what the day holds. Yesterday and for the next three days I'm scrap booking during the afternoons with Bonnie. I got three pages done yesterday, forgot to get pics of those to show off so those will be coming shortly. I just ordered 75 more photos and have one more order to put in before I'm caught up with printing out pictures. Its going to be a while before I'm caught up with scrapping, but my plan is to scrap and make cards at least 2 afternoons a week! Got to get caught up from this summer so I can start of on the recent pictures! So much fun!!!
So after we were done scrapping I had to run to wal-mart which was a mad house!!!! I had some coupons that were expiring on diapers so I went ahead and bought two more packs...the never ending diaper purchasing!!!...when do we potty train! Just kidding!!! I also got more cereal and more formula!!! Jackson has been doing good on the formula, I tried the new one that is soy plus helps with spit-up...not sure if it is working...he is spitting up more! We will see...his tummy may just need to get use to it. If not we can go back to what we were using. I feel like it is trial and error, not something that I like to be trial and error since its Jackson's tummy that is having to go through all this! He is pretty tough though! He is also teething! There is drool every where and his little nose has started running! Please pray that he has an easy time with these little toothers!
Well, dinner was good last night if I do say so myself! It was also fun to make! There is a pic below, I thought that it looked neat so I decided to attach a picture! Once again I love Southern Living!!! The recipe is called Pronto-Stuffed Pasta Shells.
Going to go get ready for the day! Have to run by Academy because one of the shirts I got last week has a hole in it. Then off to scrap! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Happy Boy!
