My New Nephew

My sister had her 3rd little one on the 14th. His name is Matthias David. He's so cute, but I don't think he looks like Izzy or Luke. She is recovering well, just a little on the exhausted side! I can't wait to get to San Antonio to meet him!

Laundry Room Makeover!

I was inspired by Joy over at the "Joys of Home" blog to dress up my VERY sad laundry room. I went to Hancock Fabrics last night to browse their 50% off designer fabrics. I was about to give up when out of the corner of my eye I saw this FUN fabric...
I am hoping to make some cute curtains out of it and really spruce up the room. Maybe even paint it a nice shade of creme. We'll see. I'll keep you "posted".

Halloween costume preview

Here's a cute preview of what Jr. is going to be for Halloween. He will be the sweetest little skunk out there!

It's a Boy!

So it's official, I'm an Aunt (again) to a healthy baby boy, Matthias David Ray.
Pics to come.

DWTS

Is it just me, or is Cloris starting to get on your nerves? I mean, the first 2 shows she was funny... being silly with the judges and making us laugh with her one-liners, but now I'm ready to move on. Last night I saw more leg lifting from her then I needed. It's great that she can do that and not score herself a trip to the ER, but really? And her boobs, get those girls under control. I'm totally worried she will flop out one of these shows. I hate to say, but I'm hoping that she goes home tonight! Time to get serious!


Now on to my favorite couple. First off, I hope I can be 1/4 as hot as Brooke after 3 kids! She is just gorgeous and that girl can dance! Every week she pulls out 8 & 9's and even a 10 last week! Derrick is always my fav...I decided last night that he is the twin of Kevin Bacon! I'm cheering them on!!

My new BFF appliance!

This is the BEST thing I have purchased in a LONG time! It's a rechargeable vacuum. It's small, lightweight, and really does pick up a lot. I have always said that I would vacuum every day if I had one that was easy to handle! This is great. I now vacuum every chance I get! Not that my house is a total mess...but there is always something to sweep up. Especially with a 17 mth old running around!

Pumpkin Patch

Friday we went with our wonderful neighbors to the Parkhurst Pumpkin Patch. It was a lot of fun. There were animals for the kids to pet, a corn field maze, big bales of hay to play on..and, of course, pumpkins.

Clint and Jeff looking like Old McDonald!
The Kids...Lydia, Grace, Laynie & Blake

Jr. keeping a "safe" distance from anything with 4 legs! Blake and the wooly sheep!
Getting ready for the dust ride...I meant, the hay ride!
