8 Years

Friday was our 8 year anniversary!  Is that right??  We celebrated with some Chick-fil-a and some cranky kids.  Oh how our lives have changed.  But we are not totally boring we are going to a thunder game in a couple of weeks.  Can't wait.  Excited to eat without feeding someone else and watching the game.

We don't usually do gifts since it is so close to Christmas we just try to do something together.  This year J surprised me with the UGG house shoes I have been wanting.  I felt bad for a minute when he didn't get anything.  

Breaking Bad and other stuff

Breaking Bad...
Have you seen it?  It is about the chemistry teacher that is diagnosed with cancer and cant afford treatment so starts cooking meth.  Sound crazy??  That's because it is!  Justin and I are hooked we put the kids to bed and watch a couple of episodes.  You gotta watch!

New Years Resolution..
All the normal ones blah blah blah
main one finding a church that we like and going as a family.


Addi...

Work...
sometimes it is confusing if we are at work or in third grade talked about not eating food that is not yours the other day in morning meeting

Just Because

 

Just Because my kids are cute

Merry Christmas

 We had a great Christmas weekend.  We have been traveling alot lately so this it was the first time since before Thanksgiving we were all home together for the weekend.

 We made salt dough ornaments, cookies for Santa and went and looked at Christmas lights.  This year was so much fun with Addi.

 



 

 My family came over Christmas Eve and ate and ate then opened gifts then ate some more!

 

Merry Christmas!



Grandpa John

Justin's friend, John came over to the house today and this was addis first time to see him. 

John was my dads name. 

When he left addi asked if he was her grandpa John. Justin tried to explain to her that he wasn't here anymore. That he is with Jesus. 

I haven't told addi alot about my dad it's hard for me to wrap my head around what happened and where he is now so I have just told her a little bit about him. 

Sometimes out of the blue addi will ask about him or talk about him like he is here with us.   I like to think that he is here with us. I don't believe he watches  us all the time I like to think he has much more grander things to do. I do think he drops in and checks on us and is still apart of our lives.  Maybe children do have a connection with people that are no longer here maybe they don't. I choose to think they do. There is not a day goes by that my dad doesn't cross my mind and I don't want there to be one. 

When Justin said he lives with Jesus addi asked what kind of car does Jesus have?? 

Weight Watchers

Ok so I am starting weight watchers AGAIN.  I am not unhappy with the number I see on the scale I just am hating the squishy-ness I see when I look into the mirror.  So I am going to work out -I would say more but I haven't been doing it at all and start weight watchers again to see if I can start to feel better.

So here is a typical weight watchers day of food

morning - 1 pack of quaker apple and cinnamon oatmeal 3 points

lunch -turkey sandwich 3 pieces of turkey on sandwich thin bread and 1 serving of baked chips 7 points

snack- banana 0 points or 20 pretzel sticks 1 point

dinner- 1 serving of what we are having but it is a healthier version recipe like chilli with hardly any cheese fish and vegetables

you get extra points that you can use through out the week so you can usually have 1 meal of something you want but not go overboard

the thing I miss the most is CHEESE  and REAL CHIPS  I could eat real greasy chips all day long!!

Football and an Early Christmas

 We headed to Austin this weekend to watch Josh's team play in the semifinals.  We also had an early Christmas since we were all together. 

 

Addi Jace and Judson all got kindle fires from Grammy and Papaw...they love them.  Addi has played and played with hers. 

 

 

How cute are these Raiders fans??!  They had such a great year and we are so happy for Josh.  Now that we are home I am doing a ton of laundry.  Is if just us or does it seem like every time you do laundry you have less hangers than last  time??
