Sorry no photos here! You know the whole ‘what happens where ever stays where ever!’ Well it stayed near Fredrickburg, TX at a winery near by! I will tell you that I am blessed with some truly amazing women in my life! Beth, Jennifer, Kim and I had a great time! I look forward to the next ladies weekend!

Well I’m pooped! I just pent four days with some good friends and their new baby. Adam and Jessica welcomed Pierce home only a few short weeks ago. I was so happy and fortunate to go stay and help out (and take photos!) for a few days. I’ll have a photo gallery up soon with approved photos from mom and dad to show you, but for now check out this cute bunch:

I can’t believe Duke and Daisy are already one year old. Time flew! They are still as cute and cuddly as the day we brought them home, even if they are more than four times the size they were when we brought them home last July! When I took them in for their check-up they came in at almost 90lbs! Here is their photo right before digging into their homemade, just for doggies, peanut butter cookies. I love my furkids!

I LOVE to craft! I keep planning on adding a section to our website for all the cool things I find and want to make or just for all the things that I make. I love cute projects, time saving projects, keep sake projects, sentimental projects…. well I love any kind of good crafty project. I also love sharing the wealth, so I tend to convince people to try taking up something new. Tonight I hit up the Stitch Lab and took a jewelry making class with Leslie. So much fun!!! I’d post a photo, but again I didn’t have my camera. I need to find a cute bag that I can take with me, that’s comfortable, that can hold other stuff, and that’s cute of course!

Anyway, I’ve got some ideas up my sleeve, so I will post photos of my next projects!

So originally we were supposed to celebrate Allie turning 30 this past weekend, but instead it turned into a family project weekend at my mom’s. We helped redo her utility room. New floors, a pedestal for the washer and dryer, and some shelf rearranging and here’s what we ended up with:

Not too shabby for a days work! I think mom likes it! (PS – Sorry for the iPhone photos on the last couple of posts, my cards are full and I haven’t taken the time to download or delete. Also I’ve forgotten it a time or too, doh!)

So our household got a little fuller this week. Even’s here!

So in case we hadn’t mentioned it to any of you Sean’s younger brother Evan had been thinking about coming to Austin and search for jobs. Yes, we know the job market sucks everywhere, but we figured job, or no, it will give Sean, Julie and Evan (and me) some great bonding time. I mean the older we get the less chance we have to see each other and spend quality time together. He’s only been here a few days, but we’re glad to have him and so our Duke and Daisy.

My sister turns 30 today. I love you so very much Allie!!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better big sister. Here’s a kiss all the way from Texas! SMOOOOCH! Love you!

So our neighborhood decided to throw a neighborhood wide garage sale this past weekend. SCORE! We make about $160 and we also got to meet a lot more of our neighbors, as even if they didn’t host a sale they came by to check things out. We had four people put things into our sale and between us all we make just over $400. Not too shabby!

We were also excited to spend most of Saturday hanging out with Jessica and Brad, who ended up making out the best at the sale. Jessica and Brad have currently relocated to Houston, and we’re going to miss those two quite a bit. They love good food, board games, movies, and just hanging out. I KNOW! Our kind of people, huh!?! At least they’re only a few hours away, and we can still see them when we visit the family.

So Julie’s 25th birthday was last night. I told her my gift was to be her designated driver. How late can one really stay out 11pm? Midnight?

We started her birthday off with manicures and pedicures! Then went for drinks and dinner at Z Tejas yum! Then we had frozen yogurt at a very yummy place. Then we hit up Dallas, a country and western night club and went two steppin’! So much fun!!! I also got to meet a few of Julie’s friends, which made me feel a bit old since I was the only hitched one there. I however was very glad to be married by the end of the evening. I don’t envy you single folks waging through that jungle of people to find the right one. Good Luck!! The night didn’t end until the they kick us out at last call. YES LAST CALL! For booze that is! We didn’t leave until 2am. And while Julie may be accustomed to crazy hours, my body hurt so bad this morning it wasn’t funny! I felt hung over and I didn’t even have alcohol! When did that happen!?!

Oh well, I may ache, but I made some good memories with Julie-girl! Happy Birthday!

Well this was Julie’s first Rodeo… literally. Sean Julie and I hit up the Austin Livestock Show and Rodeo yesterday and saw Josh Turner preform. The rodeo was fun and no TOO eventful. No injured cowboys or spaying blood. Just good looking men in tight jeans doing things that most people would think twice about (or more) before doing.

While Josh Turner gave a great performance, and he has a pretty awesome band, I didn’t know that he was so religious or that he needed to push his merchandise so much. Out of the dozen or so songs he played about half were very religious. They were all good songs, but I’m not really into Christian music unless I’m at a Christian function. Hope that doesn’t offend anyone. Also Julie and I both noticed that he pushed his T-shirt  merchandise and CD quite a bit. I mean I already bought the ticket dude, just play your music. I know they’ve got to make a living, but after the third time I was kind of weirded out that he kept mentioning it.

All in all the company, food, show and music made for a good evening. Yea for new experiences!
