Happy Days....oh Happy Days!!!

I finally broke down and decided to hire a housekeeper. With our busy and ever changing schedule, I finally decided to do it. Jason told me to do it back in January when he started school, but I'm pretty frugal and didn't want to do it. I don't mind housework and usually do it on the weekends when the boys are at their mom's and Jason is at work. Well, the weekends are few and far b/w when there is nothing going on, so I finally caved in and did it.

I can't wait to go home to a sparkling clean house this afternoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are also close to finalizing a contractor for our covered back patio! We already have the cement slab. Our previous owners exteded the slab and so we lucked out on not having to pour more cement. We are waiting on 2 more estimates and then we will get the ball rolling!!!!!!! The below picture is similar to what we are having built.

Tristen's Band Contest

Tristen had a Band Solo Contest on Saturday morning. We were able to go in and listen to him play. He did very well. Here is a cute picture of him warming up in the band hall before he performed.

Friday afternoon randomness.....

My new badge clip! My other blingy badge clip broke and I've been using a boring one. I finally went and bought a new one from my co-worker who sells them!

Other randomness.....we have a busy Saturday!
•Tristen's Solo/Ensemble Band Contest @ 9:45am.
•Colby's baseball game @ 3pm.
•Friend's wedding @ 7:30pm.

I'm already worn out and it isn't even Saturday yet.

Love little brown boxes.....

I love coming home to find brown boxes on my front porch, especially when the box contains shoes!!!

While the actual shoes inside the box really aren't that exciting, I love new shoes period. I needed new black peep toe pumps really, really bad. I tried to salvage my Enzo Angiolini pumps, and even after taking then to the shoe repair place, they finally bit the dust.

Here are the new ones. Like I said, not very exciting, but I love them.

Random Pictures......

Here is a random assortment of pictures that have been on my camera. Most of these are from our pseudo nephew's 1st b-day party.

Colby & Tristen @ Alex's 1st b-day party

Birthday boy Alex - hanging with John

Momma Kate and Alex

Momma Kate and Daddy Allen with no so happy Alex
Mom.....get me out of here!!!!!!!

This is what happens when the adults get bored and little ones are running around. The little ones are bribed with candy and then we take advantage of them. Well, I just took the pictures. We sent him on his way to find mommy and daddy, but all daddy could say was, 'No more M&M's!!!'
Cutie Pie, Luke




Colby - at his belated b-day party

Colby's baseball team waiting for their game to start.

Little # 4.....

Baseball....the story of my life!

Colby had a game yesterday, and I had planned on taking more pictures. The game was called during the 2nd inning due to lightening, so the game will be made up. We were up 2-0 when the game got called.

Btw, I HATE their white uniforms! Who the hell thinks it is a good idea to have white uniforms when playing baseball on red dirt? Oh I know.....a male....who probably has never tried to get a pair of white baseball pants clean and back to a somewhat shade of white. (You can't bleach them!!!!)

Jason and Amanda Updates

Well, I don't really have any updates. Nothing really new is going on with me. One exciting thing I guess, is I finally hired myself a housekeeper. She comes for the first time in 2 weeks and I couldn't be more excited. If I like her work, I only plan on having her come once a month. Colby's baseball picks up on the weekends starting at the end of May and he has tournaments 7 weekends in a row!!! My normal cleaning routine that I do on the weekends won't exactly be a routine anymore once the tournaments start.

Jason is nearing the end of his semester and will soon after that be a certified EMT-B. He is testing for Denton Fire this Saturday. He plans on starting Paramedic classes in August and possibly doing an online certification for fire, as well. We'll see. He plans on starting softball back up in the next few weeks, too. Busy busy! I'll just be excited when his night classes are over. I know I miss having him at home at night and so do the boys.

I'll try to post some recent pictures soon!!!!
