Change

I had a hair appointment on Wednesday and made a big decision......to go back to being a brunette. Here is a picture. Let me know what you think.

Cade wanted his picture taken also, so here is a picture of me and him. He fell at school yesterday while riding his scooter and busted his lip (the reason for the red spot on his lip).

Cade's Haircut and Singing Debut

Cade got a haircut this past weekend (way over due I might add) and he looks so much better. While I was trying to take some pictures of his new haircut he was listening to music on my iPhone and singing Alvin and the Chipmunks 'The Chipmunk Song/Christmas Don't Be Late'. I had to get some video of him singing, it is too cute.

In case you don't know the words here they are:

Christmas, Christmas time is near,
Time for toys and time for cheer.
We've been good, but we can't last,
Hurry Christmas, Hurry fast.
Want a plane that loops the loop,
Me, I want a Hula-Hoop.
We can hardly stand the wait,
Please Christmas don't be late.

Merry Christmas to Me

Craig and I went to the Ford dealership to attempt AGAIN to get out of my gas guzzling Durango. This time was a little different, we were successful. Here are some pictures of my NEW CAR! It is a black 2007 Ford Fusion.

Time for Christmas

Thanksgiving has come and gone in my house. My mom, dad, brother, sister and brother-in-law were in town for Thanksgiving. While they were here we ate, shopped and had a great time hanging out together.

Now it is on to the next holiday.....CHRISTMAS! My tree and fireplace are all decorated, even Craig's deer is festive (pictures are below). Cade helped decorate the tree this year, he kept saying 'This is the best Christmas ever!' It was so cute. I had to do some rearranging of some ornaments behind him because the one limb he was putting ornaments on begin to touch the ground. Craig also put our lights on the house while I was at work and these are the pictures I received.

Cade on the roof! I know you are thinking the same thing I was, I immediately called Craig to inquire why Cade was on the roof. Craig said that Cade wanted to help so he let him. I am just glad I was not there to witness the whole thing.

So me and Craig braved Black Friday once again this year with all the other crazy shoppers looking for those bargains. We started at Walmart at 4AM and returned to the house at 1PM for a long needed nap. My family met up with us a few times but I am sure they thought we were crazy for getting up that early and shopping literally until we dropped. But we saved some money and had a blast (if that is possible at 4AM).

Well here are a few pictures of our decorations.

Trick or Treat

We took Cade to his school's Fall Festival/Carnival where he played lots of games and got lots of candy. Cade was a red Power Ranger this year (Kasey). Cade got his costume the end of September and probably wore it at least once a day prior to Halloween. He loves his costume and wears it while watching Power Rangers on TV and acts out every scene. It is very entertaining. Here are a few pictures of Cade at the Carnival.

New Phone

I got a new phone this past weekend, the Apple iPhone.




I work for AT&T who sells the phone so I thought why not (and because they were giving managers a good deal). It is the 1st generation iPhone, not the 3G, but it is still a great phone. Craig and I both got one and we love it!

Upgrade

While we were in Dallas last month my mom gave Cade my brothers old bed. We put the bed up as soon as we got it, but I am just now getting around to taking pictures of it (here you go Mom sorry for the delay).




Cade loves his new bed! I love it because his room stays so much cleaner and clutter free thanks to the storage under the bed.

Cade's 1st Hunting Experience

Last weekend Craig took Cade hunting for the 1st time, but certainly not the last. Cade was able to experience 'boy stuff' like roughing it in a camper, hanging out by a campfire, eating camp food and peeing wherever. Cade even got to pet a doe (picture below). He had so much fun that I don't think he wanted to come back home to see me! Here are a few pictures from his adventure.

I guess Cade wasn't completely roughing it, here he is watching a movie on his DVD player

Today's Horoscope

October 11, 2008

Pisces

You've been almost like an action hero lately, swooping in and coming to the rescue of people in need! All of this helping others has been wonderful for your self esteem, but boy it can be exhausting work! So today you need to take some time out from being there for others -- and be there for yourself! Lavish yourself. Get some alone time and just do whatever you want to do. You deserve a mellow, quiet night. It will renew your spirit and reenergize you for another day.

I am going to do what my horoscope says for once. I worked today and I think I worked hard. No house cleaning for me tonight, that can wait for another day. So I am going to relax, my last night before my boys come home tomorrow. I think I am going to kick my feet up, see what movies are showing and veg out (thanks for the suggestion Whittney).

Have a great weekend everyone!

Home Alone

Craig took Cade on his first hunting trip today and they are not returning until Sunday afternoon. When Craig left tonight he asked, 'So what do you have planned for the weekend?'. I thought...this is the perfect time to really clean my house, no kid and no husband! I was really pumped to start cleaning when I got home but after an hour and a half of cleaning 2 rooms and a bathroom, here I sit on the computer. Goal for tomorrow: clean the rest of the house. I will keep you posted on how that goes.

Oh and as soon as the boys return I will post pictures from their hunting trip.

Cade Turns 4

Well Cade turned 4 last month (Sept. 18th). These past 4 years have gone by so fast, I can't believe this was him just 4 years ago. I remember it like it was yesterday.

So for Cade's 4th birthday we were actually in Dallas for my 10 year high school reunion and decided to take Cade to Medieval Times. We had them announce his birthday, we had front row seats and he had a great time. We cheered for the red knight, who did not win, but we still had a lot of fun.
