Pics and bows

Well, Thursday we went to the Grapevine Botanical Gradens and had family pictures taken. Paige took them and if you haven't checked out her website yet, you should because she takes awesome pictures and she is very reasonably priced. She put some teaser photos on her photoblog and the pics look great!
I also teach with a very nice lady (Nicole) who is starting a business selling hair bows and really cute shirts and stuff. Her link is on my blog as pretty bows and things. You should check out her website too.
These are 2 great SAHM that make great high quality stuff and you should definitley check them out. Piage's photography site has a link too.

It's been so long....

I really stink at this whole blog thing. But, one of my goals is to keep up with it from now on. It's been so long since my last blog I should update everybody-
Ok, so Jude was born Jan. 1st he is adorable and the girls just love him so much. We still haven't figured out which one of us he looks like, but people say Daddy (I of course think me). I am back at pre-school. I missed it a lot the 6 weeks I was out. I just love those kiddos and the group of women I teach with are great! I potty trained Mia yesterday. I used the book Toilet Training in Less Than a Day. It was great, she still has a few accidents every once and awhile when she gets pre-occupied, but other than that she's great. She went all night without wetting the bed. So, I will be recommending that book to everyone I know. I don't know why everybody doesn't already know about it. It's like the best kept secret. Well, now you are all pretty much up to date.

Busy September

Well, September was a really busy month! We started pre-school on the 11th and haven't stopped since then. We have work, school, soccer practice (twice a week), soccer games, church activities, etc. I feel like I haven't stopped yet. But, atleast pre-school is somewhat relaxed. I teach in the 3's class this year (no more diapers!!!) and my co-teacher is great. The kiddos are even awesome. We have the calmest class. I am sad that I have to take a month off when the baby comes, I will miss them. But, atleast I won't be gone that long. I still can't believe it already October (and that it's been at or over 90 degrees everyday). But, atleast the weatherman says it should cool off next Tuesday.

It's a Boy!

Well, we went to the Dr. last Thursday and found out we are having a boy. So, that makes 3 beautiful little girls and a boy on the way. We are very excited, the girls have gotten more used to the idea of a little brother and are getting more excited. We don't have any names yet. I am going to try and scan the sonogram pics in, but they are kind of dark. But, it is definitely a boy. We got a good pic of his boy stuff during the sonogram and the tech assures us he is 100% boy. I will try to keep more up to date with my blog. I know I've been slacking this summer.

Rain, Rain Go Away

While the rain has been much appreciated by our lawn and our wildflowers, it has kind of put a damper on our summer activities. For those of you who don't know, it has pretty much been steadily raining everyday for the last month. Some days it is the nice rain you can go out and play in, but most of the days it has been a torrential downpour-the kind that will flood your house (yes, our house flooded again a few weeks ago). All of this flooding up here has been blamed on a low pressure system that has stalled over the area (we are hoping it gets a move on soon, but that looks unlikely). Our 7 day forecast shows rain everyday. But, while it has been flooding we have been lucky. The poor people in NRH, Haltom City and Gainesville have gotten it bad. While I am sure we will look back on all this next summer (when we are in a drought and its 110 degrees outside) and say man I wish it would rain like last summer, but for now I am so ready for it to stop.

Back from the Stoneage!

Well, we got Fios TV today. We had a picnic dinner in front of the tv. It is pretty neat stuff and since the tvis an HD Tv, we also get HD channels. I don't see much difference, but Jarrod has informed me that there is a huge difference. He is so excited he gets to watch all the sports channels again. He just sat in front of the tv and said "wow, there are so many choices now, what do you want to watch?" It is way different than before...our choices were pretty much ABC, NBC or CBS. The girls are so excited about having the disney channel again, too! So, I guess I will be catching up on all the Food network stuff and Discovery channel. Well, we have made it to the present day tv stuff and it's pretty cool.

Apologies

I know I should be blogging more, but with summer here there really isn't that much going on at our house. Just hanging out spending quality time with each other. No major events yet! So, I promise I will keep updating as things go on...even interesting things that happen during quality time. Oh, we are getting cable again!!!=)
