Drum roll pls....David's 27!!!

Last night we celebrated Davids 27th birthday! Family and friends met us at New York Pizza to enjoy some pizza and cake :)
I love that we were able celebrate all together as much as David protested...I WON! We've had a wonderful weekend of just relaxing and celebrating!! David was able to finish all his homeowner early and just hang out with us minus his usual attachment to the computer on weekends.

Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend...were expecting snow hmmm maybe late start tomorrow!!

Oh and yes I forgot candles so David is using his lighter!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

This is what we woke up to this morning!! SNOW!

Oh the clouds!

There are a couple Tornado Watches going on tonight....sadly most of these storms are moving east...I'd be nice to have a good ole thunder storm...Here are a some pictures of the CRAZY clouds outside!

Here in a bit we're going for a walk...which is a nice end to our relaxing...dinner and a movie night!!

Tomorrow we have a doctors appointment...we're praying all goes well!! And on a YAY MOMENT....David will be working out 5 am tomorrow...whew he's gonna be tired!

Springing Forward!

Well this weekend marks the beginning of my first Spring Break as a Teacher!! Let me just say that last week was the most amazing week at school. It was very relaxing and encouraging. I just wanted to stop by and do a quick update before Im computerless until David gets off work tomorrow. This weekend the weather was GORGEOUS to say it simply. We had 75 degree weather with plenty of sunshine! David worked on his mustang engine which is making GREAT progress. More pictures to follow on that while I did some spring cleaning...I say I but really should be more of a David. I basically made the mess that he then had to clean up. Having a belly does stop you from bending over some. Aside from that I have a clean car Woo Hoo!! David did yard work this afternoon after we did family brunch and donuts. Tomorrow I have a hair appointment and Im going in the search for an awesome rolling pin. I've been making homemade tortillas for the past couple weekends for our breakfast and my goal is to make them this whole week as I'll be OFF!!
On PEANUT/TANK news....we don't see the doctor until next week and then his doctor till the week after that. This weekend I took inventory of his closet....10 hangers of outfits and 3 pairs of sock shoes!! And I think my favorite at the moment is his little Ralph Lauren Polo ONESIE that I bought for him last weekend!! And just think that is just whats at mommy & daddy's house not at either grandparents or aunts house! I do have to say that we're more than blessed to have such awesome families!! Peanut/Tank will have tons of love!!
Well off to bed early morning to make breakfast for David and get the day rolling!! Too bad we have rain in the forecast!

From snow to Homemade TORTILLAS!!

Well to start last week off we had a wonderful SNOW Day and it was wonderful to not have to go to work and hang out at home with David. Amazingly I slept in...which is hardly happening these days. As I was uploading some pictures I completely forgot that I never put a picture of our wonderful Valentine's pizza up!! Here is a picture of what our street looked like this past Tuesday...talk about a Winter Wonderland!!

We went to see Dr. Maberry on Wednesday and we found out that Peanut aka "Tank" is 10 oz. and 8.5 inches long which makes him as he's still 95% a "him" still 2 oz. bigger than Clara when she was born but the same length. We have a week before we go back to a Dr. and it'll be to see Dr. Bass. Our appointments are getting farther and farther apart which makes me both nervous and feel calmer all at the same time because it makes us a tad bit more "normal".

Well onto our Saturday...lots of new things happened this weekend!! We got a new table from my parents, battery and fuel filter for the Tahoe and knocked in our storm shelter. Well actually David and his friends and Tim did. I'll get those pictures later. I am very proud of myself for making a true "mexican" breakfast Sunday before I headed off to church. HOMEMADE TORTILLAS and chorizo & egg. It was wonderful to have breakfast at our table on a Sunday morning!! Later that night I made red beans & cornbread!! I don't know what exactly my new found cooking interest is but Im loving it!! Tonight I made tostadas that were YUMMY!!

Happy 25th!!

Well Thursday was David's 25th Birthday and we welcomed it with SNOW & ICE. I didn't have time to get a picture of the snow so this is a picture that came from bigcountryhomepage.com. Luckily David did not have to go to work...sadly I did. I drove about 20 mph the entire way to work in blinding snow but Im glad I was only 5 minutes late for work. I left work as soon as my kids were gone for the day and spent the rest of the day with David on his birthday!! We had rented movies and had his birthday dinner just the two of us the night before so we were able to just make dinner and relax Thursday night! I made him Green Chile Casserole a family recipe that we will certainly continue as our own family recipe. Here is a picture of our casserole.

Friday however we were lucky because we had a late start to school and the roads had cleared up enough that there weren't many issues driving. So around 8:30 ish we both headed out the door for work. Friday was David's last day working in the office for BCBS and I had my Valentine's Party with my kids. My kids truly enjoyed their party as we had nuggets from Chic Fil A and lots of yummy treats that my kids had brought with them! I must say that David was extremely happy to have his last day and come Monday he'll be working from home! Later that night we had David's actual Birthday Party at Lytle Land & Cattle Co. It was wonderful to spend time with family and friends. We had David's parents, my parents, both my sisters and their families and some of our friends!! Sadly I forgot to take pictures but we had a whole side of the room we were in just for our party. We had a wonderful dinner and a YUMMY cake...it was poker themed!

Today David went shooting with his dad and Dave Lee. Im glad that he finally got to use his gun and go shoot! While he was shooting I did some laundry and went to visit my sister while working on some lesson plans. After he got home we went to get some color samples for Peanut's nursery and will continue thinking of how we want to decorate his nursery. We are currently getting our fill of the Winter Olympics!!

Inclement Weather Day!!

Monday the weather here in Abilene started getting bad and held thru till Tuesday. David stayed home Tuesday and that was nice. I had a doctors appt with my gastro doctor so I was happy that he was able to drive me. That doctor's visit went fairly well....same old same old. I am to start taking my medication to lower my triglycerides. We picked up some groceries and my new perscription then headed home before the weather got bad. David started working on his "Shredding Party" and worked on dinner. I made some hamburger helper, baked a cake and made Frito Pies for David and Shaft. We had the kids over since they were home all day from school and Norma & Louis were working late. They are certainly very much Nana & David kids. They helped David with his shredding and then we all had dinner before my sister came back to pick them up. Then the guys started playing Mario Galaxy for the rest of the evening. I went to bed midway thru their gaming because we had Dr. Bass' appointment at 9 am. Yeah I was not looking forward to that at all first off its cold and the weather warnings were all ending at 9 am.

Today we woke up at 8 am to get ready and to the doctors appointment. David started the Tahoe while we got ready. I felt really bad that I forgot something at the house and David had to turn around just to not need it at the doctors office. Our doctors appointment went well. Dr. Bass said that we have 6 months until we can start trying again. As David has already calculated we can offically start trying again in July. If we are fortunate I could be about 3 months pregnant when we get married in October. When we got home I made us breakfast; scrambled eggs, bacon and biscuits. While I was doing that David dropped off his heads at the machine shop to get cleaned and boared? He had to work again today but he's off on Friday and we are thinking of going out of town but we aren't 100% sure what we're going to do yet. My goals for today are to continue cleaning our laundry room, organize my agenda and planner and get some rest. I have accomplished the getting rest portion. I took a nap and ended up waking up 2.5 hours later.

Well I tried posting this blog yesterdat but the internet messed up ...
