Housewarming

We had a house warming party a couple weekends ago (I know I'm so bad at getting this updated after something happens...). We had SO many friends and family show up it was wonderful! I think they only came to see the fight, but lets just pretend it was allllll to see us ;-)

Everyone brought awesome food and we had a really great time sharing our new home with everyone.

Aiden's Birthday

Ryan was invited to Aiden's birthday party last weekend. Tara did a great job of putting it together, they had it at a gym with all the trampolines and spring boards and foam pits, and they even put a bouncer in there for the kids. They had such a fun time! Ryan especially loved the foam pit. He didn't get it at first and was scared, then once he fell in it he realized it was fun. Aiden got to go on the harness that lets you do flips and stuff since he was the birthday boy. Everyone threw the square foam things at him when he bounced. It was a really cute party! Here's some pictures.

Twirling into the foam. He gets more and more like his dad every day!

The birthday party was a blast! Tara you did so great in putting it together!

Cowboy Season is here!

Football has officially begun for the season. We started it off right by going out and getting Ryan his very first Cowboys jersey! We all wore them for the first day of the season and our Cowboys won! Lets hope Tony Romo keeps his head out of the clouds this season and doesn't hurt his little finger again...

Go Cowboys!!!

(Boo to the 49ers, yea you heard me Jen)

Presents

So, Emmett has been a delight in our home. Asside from the few 'incidents' we have had, he's a great puppy and we love him so much. I think he loves us too!! Infact, he loves me so much, he brought me a present from our back yard!

uggghhhh I HATE bugs, especially spiders! So I walk downstairs and he's standing next to it wagging his tale, Ryan's on the luv sac and I start freaking out. Ryan's like 'Hunnie, what?' He was so confused I told him I didn't like spiders they were yucky and he goes, in the most calm voice ever, 'hunnie, don't look at it.' LOL! I just looked at him and started laughing I couldn't help it. I go 'don't look at it?' and he goes 'Yes! don't look at it!' watch sponge bob with me' This little boy is the best. He totally kept me from having a heart attack... goodness. Anyway, Bobby removed the spider, thankfully. Ryan kept calling it a lady bug and I kept having to tell him it was a spider... I have a lady bug magnet on the fridge and he likes to play with them and I think the name just got stuck in his head, b/c he called a butterfly a lady bug the other day too. haha.

Nickleback

We went to see Nickleback and had a great time! Bobby bought tickets for us months ago, and I've been SO excited for months to see Nickleback live! I was also stoked to see Saving Able who was with them, but we got there 30 minutes late, and they had already gone! I was so bummed!! Lisa and Greg came over before we left for dinner so we could car pool. I made them a yummy pasta dish, and Greg scarfed down pretty much an entire pizza right before they came over!! lol. Anyway we got there and we had seats, but Lisa and Greg had gotten general admision so we had to split for a little while. We found them in the crowd and sent them pictures of themselves from our cells lol. So we get there, realize we missed Saving Able :-( and then Papa Roach comes on, they let stupid Papa Roach play for an entire dreadful hour... ugh. I'm not a huge fan of Papa Roach. I like the old stuff, like the stuff I listened to in highschool, but the new stuff is just not as good as it used to be. Anyway, Hinder played after Papa Roach, and they were good, but the sound was just piercing! The speakers were messed up or something, it was incredibly too loud. Once Nickleback took the stage though, it was smooth sailing. Perfect sound, great energy, they were awesome! Chad Kroger is an amazing entertainer. He really knew how to get the crowed pumped up, he talked between pretty much every song, cracked jokes, threw stuff at the crowd. It was awesome. After we got done we didn't get home till around 12:30-1:00 ish. I was soooo tired the next morning, but it was so worth it! I had a great time with my hubby-to-be. Such a good present for no reason at all other than just to make me smile =] He's too good to me.

Nikki's Bridal Shower

I hosted Nikki's bridal shower at my house and I think it's actually begining to sink in that she's REALLY getting married! My little sister, my little baby sister that used to play barbies with me all day, that used to play 'little mermaid' in the pool with me as kids, the little girl who used to make snowmen and snowangels with me every winter... Wow... My little sister means the world to me, she's my best friend. I love her so much and I can't believe she's actually going to be MARRIED! She's such a beautiful person, inside and out. My sister would give you her last penny, the shirt off of her back... I look up to her in so many ways. I hope that someday I can be 1/2 as good of a person as my sister is. She has surprised us all, she used to be this shy little kid who always stood in the background, I always worried about her growing up because I didn't want people taking advantage of her, and she's grown into this strong, steadfast woman. I'm so proud of her. We had a blast at her bridal shower, here are some pictures

She ended up cutting 3 ribbons, 3 kids are on the way Nikki watch out!!
