Our Christmas tree is up!

Drum Roll Please.....

Do you all really want to know the sex of the new baby?? Are you sure??? OK...It's a girl!!!! YAY!! We are sooooooooooooooooooooo excited. The second picture is the actual girl parts. I couldn't really tell, but the tech assured me it was a girl!

One Sheet Wonder

I have been working on my cards lately, specifically my holiday cards. I decided to give that rest for a few days and try a one sheet wonder! Here are the results...

Weather....

I will start this post off apologizing to all you who live in the northern tier of the country. I hate this darn heat! It is almost December and yet my 5-day forecast is 80 degrees everyday! Apparently I wasn't cutout for this southern heat. Let's just pray we don't get stationed this far south again! Luckily there is a cold front around the corner and we should see that by Thursday. (Sorry, I am a weather junky!)

Cuttin' Molars

Apparently when JJ was clingy for three days straight it was because he was cutting two molars! I thought I saw something in there this morning so I daringly stuck my finger in his mouth and there it was, the left one! I checked for the right one and it was coming too!

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser can pose a hazard to your skin

and the off brands can cause some serious pain to the skin. My friend Tanya passed this link along to me this evening and I thought it pertinent to share with everyone what these items can actually do to skin if rubbed with them. I will definitely be keeping these out of my children's reach from now on.

Kitchen Island

Last night we went to Lowe's and finally picked up cabinets for our kitchen island! We ordered the counter top, which takes three weeks to arrive. When it's all done, I'll take pictures!

T-Shirts

So today I decided to put all the clothes away. Finally. I don't normally mess with John's clothes too much, but today I took it upon myself to put his away. But in order to do that I needed to reorganize his t-shirt drawers. Yes, I said drawers - plural. I counted 52 of these darn things in his drawers. 52! Oh, and he just got 3 more in the mail so that makes it 55. That is not including his work t-shirts. I haven't counted those! I think we need to do some purging of the clothes again!

Anne's visit

So I didn't get around to posting about how fun Anne's visit was this week. So here it is! After she finally arrived we took a trip to the outlet malls in San Marcos. We found some nice things including my brand new asparagus kitchen towels! Woohoo! We had chicken and tips for dinner, yum yum! On Saturday we hung out in the morning and went to the Alamo and the Riverwalk and had lunch at an Irish pub. It was pretty yummy. We did SeaWorld in the afternoon. The dolphins were very active this visit and we were able to touch them! I have been to the shows at SeaWorld three times now and they are still amazing to watch. Even though our visit was cut short, it was splendid! I even got a little birthday treat before she left; a new book and some yummy pumpkin scented candles and holder for them!
I posted some pictures. But if you check out Anne's blog there are a ton more!
