Wow it really has been a long time since I have done this. I can't believe how time has flown by this year. This month alone has surprised me by how busy we have been. The second week of October Stacy's ex wife came and stayed with us so she could visit with Cheyenne for her birthday. We took Cheyenne bowling at one of our favorite place. It's very cool there and we have our own hostess every time we go, never been to a bowling ally that has a hostess for every group that comes in. Anyway, she had a few of her friends (all cousins and sisters) come and we had a blast!! The tiniest one playing was Kyra and she is 2, so cute! Then we have Omi (grandma) who is 80 something. We got pizza and I made a cake. It was alto of fun and Cheyenne had a blast!
Then 2 weeks later I was off to Maryland to visit my sister in Columbia. It was allot of fun we had a good time shopping and went out to eat a few times. It's really cool how we have grown closer to each other these past few years. She is so happy and in love with her wife I'M very happy for her. I forget how pretty it is back east in the fall, all the different color trees. Autumn is so wonderful there, even though I can do without the cold, it was lovely. I miss her already, hopefully I can get her back out here soon.
Then the following weekend was out Church retreat. That was amazing! I love all the women at my church, they are so fun to be around, not your typical church going group, we know how to have fun. I had put together a BUNCO night there and most of the people who signed up had never played before so it was fun to see them go crazy and get all excited. I asked if anyone would want to be a part of a monthly BUNCO night and all said yes. Great, what did I get myself into ow I have to organize and pull that off. Those who know me know I'M not good at Organizing. But what is cool about this is the money that people bring for the monthly game most of the money goes to our Capitol Fund program to gain money for our new church property which is over 17 acres!! I can't wait until we get it done it's going to be like a YMCA but much better. So that is one thing that I'M excited about right now.
Also that weekend was also Halloween weekend and I did miss this year but I don't think I will miss again because I really missed the girls and Stacy, being away 2 weekends in a row was probably not the best thing. But Stacy's Ex came back that week and did it with them, she hasn't had a Halloween with them since we moved to Texas so it was nice she could be her with them. I'M not sure Stacy thought it was nice but oh well it's all for the kids right? I think that was the last more than 1 night stay she will be having at our house. It's just so uncomfortable, you know? We get along good but it does where on me and mostly Stacy cause he can't stand her but he gets over things fast. Her are a few pics that she took:
Well now that October is over November is proving to be just as busy. I have recently taken on another baby to watch, gran it this is only for 2 days a week and he is only here for a few hours during the other kids nap time so it hasn't been to hard. He is only a little over a month old and he sooooo cute. I love babies.
We also bought a new mattress and bed. I have never had real bedroom furniture of my own, always hammy downs or just the bear minimums. I'M into this black brown look and we got the bed from IKEA, love it! Now I just have to figure out where to put everything that we had in our old nightstands, they were allot bigger so I have a ton of crap in them. But when I get it all done it will look nice. Our bed is a king now and takes up so much room in the bedroom that it looks bad with all the stuff spread out on the floor. The girls love it, now we can all lay with each other in the morning and be comfy and not squished! Now to get everything on craigs list and get it out of our garage, blah!
This weekend we have a party to go to and next week we have so much going on, the ex will be here late Friday night and leave with the Cierra and Cheyenne on 22nd to go to Utah for Thanksgiving. Then that weekend Stacy and I are going to celebrate our 2 year anniversary even though its this weekend. Gotta wait till payday ya know. (But I still spent a little and got him a card, some candles(shh) and a cute sign that goes over our bed "always kiss me goodnight". That's more for me than for him but he will still like it. lol). I hate shopping for him he is so hard to know what to get him. Well I know what to get him but it's like $250!! The sunglasses you can listen to music with.
We are having Thanksgiving at our house again this year, it just makes it easier on the grandparents so they don't have to do much. But I wish I had a second me sometimes so I can get more things done before everyone shows up.
I know this is a long long Blog but hey I haven't been on here in forever and this is also my venting tool. Mostly this is for Jen since she is always pestering me to do this. I just have no time, this post alone has taken me 5 different trys to type up. lol
Not sure what other pics I have to put up but here are a few:
out on the boat this last summer
Until next blog, buh bye!
