Wonderful Weekend

Well I had a great weekend,


Friday night Shannon my sister-in-law and I went out to eat and then we watched a movie and called it a night. I love having relaxing nights like that.

Saturday I got up early, I had to pick Tim up at the airport around 10:30 but I didn't get there until almost 11 because of traffic. Then we went and had lunch at this place called Nacho Mama's. I love that place. They we invited ours self's down to Reedville to hang out with Shannon M. and her parents. They are really a lot of fun and I think my Tim has wants to be just like Shannon's dad Tim when he grows up. They have a great house with a pond in the back yard. They even have big turtles that hang out and you can feed them crackers. They had a cook out with lots of food (something I love). Also it was nice to spend some time with Shannon and baby Kendall, she is learning something new everyday. We really enjoyed our time down there.





Not a great picture of Kendall but still cute


Sunday we didn't get up until about 8:30 or so and that is sleeping in for us. Shannon, Kendall, Judy (Shannon's Mom), Tim and I all went out for breakfast and just enjoyed the morning. Then Tim and I had to leave. We had a great ride home the weather was amazing. I had me feet hanging out the window the whole time.

Sunday afternoon we had the Monteiro's Chili Cook Off to go to. I have been friends with them since I was in high school. They are always a lot of fun. Tim, Shannon H. and my self met my grandparents there. Jon made some awesome chili and there again was all kinds of food. Tim and Jon where in a horse show tournament. Tim did make it to the second round and played very well. Over all it was a great cook off. Mark and Barbra (the Monteiro's) have a beautiful yard with lots of shade and green grass. Again the weather was perfect.

Just happy to be there





Smile Tim : )


Monday Tim did lots a cleaning and we when through all of our cloths to try and free up some well needed space in our dresser. After a morning of cleaning we headed out to the lake and spent about an hour floating on a raft, there were a lot of kids in the water so we moved to the pool where we spent another couple of hours just soaking up the sun.

I would say this 3 day weekend was one of the best every. I hope that everyone else had a good weekend.

Bad Mood Day!!!

Man am I in a bad mood today. I think it will be nice to have a long weekend. Tim will be home tomorrow so that should be nice and we have the Montiero's Chili Cook out to go to on Sunday. I should be in a great mood but I am not. I have really been working my butt of at the gym but I don't seem to be making much progress. So when I was at the gym the other night I thought I would get some info on getting a personal trainer. They have this program called the HOT Mama program it is to get you in good shape before during and after your pregnancy. It is twelve weeks long. Anyway I asked about that and they said you can have 1-3 sessions a week at $50.00 a session so that would be $50-150 a week for 12 weeks..... that seems like a bit much to me. But I really want to get into shape, it would be nice to have some one guide me in the right direction but I don't know if I can fit that much money into our budget. Tim and I have a meeting with one of the trainers at our gym in two weeks so I guess we will see what they say. And it just seems that nothing at work is going right today. I only really had to work 5 hours but there is one else here today that can receive stuff so I don't feel like I can leave. Oh well I guess we all have bad days. I guess I am done bitching haha thanks everyone for read haha

Happy Birthday Nikki!

To day is my sister Nikki's Birthday...

Tim's Birthday

I think the party went well. I get so stressed out when we plan to have people over. The house can never be clean enough. With two very crazy dogs it is amazing that our house is still standing haha. I only wish I had taken some pictures. My burger cookies turned out pretty good and I think everyone enjoyed all of the food. My grandma made her bake beans. They really are the best. I have tried to make them myself before and they were good but she makes them the best. It is always nice to see friends that you don't get to see that often. Like Mark and Barbra, they are such a fun couple, I have known them since high school but I don't get to see them that often. Shannon M came with baby Kendall and I think they both had a great time. Kendall is sitting up all by her self now and still has deep blue eyes. Erin came with Sadie and Olivia ( I would said Erin's friend Olivia but I like to think that she is one of my friends now, I mean we have partied together now two weekends in a row haha) Paul and Beth came and it was good to see them. I don't think I have seen them since they got engaged at the beach. Jen came with some yummy pasta salad. It is not that often that Jen, Shannon and my self can get together so I really enjoy the time we do get to spend together. I really wish I had some pictures to share with everyone. If anyone reading this has some please forward them to me, thanks. I think on of the high lights of the day for me was when Sadie was running and Bristol was chasing her and it was making Kendall laugh.... Bristol just loved Sadie and I think she had fun with him too. Over all I think the day went off pretty well. Oh and Tim had a good time too. Thanks to everyone who came.

Cute Cookies

I saw these at a work picnic I went to yesterday and I just had to go home and make them for Tim's BBQ tomorrow. They are just so cute and really pretty easy to make.

+ + + +

Here is everything you will need

- Vanilla Wafers

- Grasshopper cookies

- Shredded Coconut (dyed Green to look like Lettuce)

-White Frosting (half dyed red to look like Katsup and the half dyed yellow to look like Mustard)

- Then for the finishing tough you take egg wash and lightly brush on the top cookie and add sesame seeds.

They are supper cute and taste good. I made a bunch last night and really it didn't take me 45 minutes to get them all done.

Heads Up

This is a heads up to everyone. Tim and I have been doing a lot of talking lately about having kids. All of you who know me pretty well know that I think having kids is a really big responsibility and that I haven't ever really pictured my self having them. But the more and more Tim and I talk about it the more I am coming around to the idea. Tim really is ready to start a family and I think that he will be a great dad. I also think that whole idea is really scary but in a good way. Tim and I have decided that we are not going to "Try" to get pregnant but that we are not going to prevent it. So we will see how things go. My friend Shannon said " You are never really read."

Sweet Tim

OK so I am sure you guys don't care but Tim really is a sweet guy. Yesterday I had to go home early from work because we are having Hughes Net installed at our house and I had to be there. They said they would come some time between 1 and 5. Well I got a call at 4:45 saying that he the installer is running behind so would it be ok if he came between 7-8 pm... So I was like yeah I guess, because I don't want to have to take more time off of work. But anyway back to Tim, when I got home yesterday I really wasn't feeling good ( I think it was because I had eaten so much the day before) and then they guy not coming really put me in a bad mood, so when Tim came home he brought me white roses (they are my favorite). What a great guy I am married to...

I love you Tim
