Summer Pictures

Here are some pictures from the summer. I finally have the computer and camera working at the same time. They are old but I still wanted to post them. We enjoyed spending time with our family and friends this summer. I am already looking forward to next summer.

Jason and I at the Brad Paisley concert...look at that ugly hat!!

Me, Jason, Luke and Elizabeth

Luke and Elizabeth work at CHS with Jason. We love hanging out with them. The concert was great but all of the teenagers around us were not. The concert was at the Superpages and I was shocked by the action of the teenagers. Jason has already said if we have kids, they are never going to see a concert with out him.

Here are pictures from our trip to the Lake House. Thanks for taking us Laura and Charlie. We missed you, Brandon and Mandy.

Manda, Me, Laura and Miller

The puzzle we put together. Puzzle are addicting!!

Jason took this picture of himself...he was proud of his photography skills.


We have taken up a new hobby...bowling!! Melissa, Ryan, Caitlin, David, Jason and I have been bowling twice in the last two months. We all have a great time and are very competitive. Here is a picture of Jason's foot and my foot. I thought the size difference was funny. I took pictures of us but they all look funny because of the black lights...maybe next time.

I AM BACK!!! SORRY THAT I FEEL OFF OF THE BLOGGING WORLD. I AM SURE THAT I LOST THE SMALL NUMBER OF BLOG FOLLOWERS THAT I HAD. OUR COMPUTER CRASHED FIVE WEEKS AGO AND WE HAD TO GET A NEW ONE. I AM BLOGGING FROM THE BRAND NEW LAPTOP...YIPPEE!!! WE ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW COMPUTER. WE ARE GOING TO SEND OUR OLD COMPUTERS TO MY DAD TO GET THEM FIXED UP. MY NEW PROBLEM IS I LOST THE CHARGER FOR THE CAMERA SO I CAN NOT ACCESS ANY OF MY PICTURES. I AM HOPING TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED BY THE WEEKEND. I HAVE SEVERAL PICTURES THAT I WANT TO SHARE.

Soccer Signs

Jason and I like to make signs for his soccer team. It is hard to believe that Jason is staring his eighth year of coaching high school soccer. It is crazy to think how much has changed in the last seven years. Here is a picture of us with a sign we painted before his first season. Here is a picture of us making a sign for his new freshmen players.

July Update

Wow! I can't believe that this is the last week of July. I have cheer practice and cheerleading camp this week. After cheer camp, we have two weeks before we report back to school. I am excited to meet my new students, get my schedule, and figure out my new subject. I know...I am one of those crazy people that does not dread the start of school.

July 1st Jason and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary!!
I forgot to take a picture at dinner so here is a wedding picture.

July 4th was great this year. My parents drove up to celebrate with us. Jason got us all tickets to the FC Dallas game. The fireworks were amazing. After the game, we went to the Cheesecake Factory for dessert. We went with the Richardson family, Candace's boyfriend. It was great to spend time with Candace and James.

July 11th we went to Lubbock to see Amy, RW, Tucker, Tanner and Jeremy.
New Potato Heads

Tanner watching his movie. I looked back and he had his hands behind his head. Jason and I were cracking up. He is so cute! Look at that serious face!!!

Tucker with his hands behind his head.
Too cute!


Friday night we got to see Jeremy's house. We also got to take him to an early birthday lunch on Saturday. It was so good to see him and spend some time in Lubbock. He loves it! On Saturday, we went to Stephanie and Blake's in Abilene. It is always great to spend time with best friends. I am still praying that they move closer some day. We are hoping they will be in the DFW area in 2 years.

July 15th was Jason's 29th birthday. He was busy coaching soccer camp on his birthday so we celebrated on the 19th. I am glad that he is back. I really hate staying at home by myself. Thankfully my mom stayed with me the first week.

July 18th was Jeremy's birthday. Happy Birthday Brother!

Where Did June Go??

Summer is flying by. I am glad that we still have a month to enjoy. We had a special event every weekend in June . We had a baby shower for one of my college roommates, Ali, and my cousin, Jennifer, got married on June 14th. I need to get the pictures from my sister so I will post them later.

On July 21st, we had a couple shower for Lindsay and Teague at our house. Brooke, Jourdan, Lindsay, Haley, Sarah, Cari and I have all been best friends since elementary school. We get together at least four times a year and we always have a big Christmas celebration. We exchange ornaments...so much fun! It is very rare for a group of girls to be so close for 20 years but we all love each other. I love these girls!

Brooke, Jourdan, Lindsay, Haley and Me

( We missed you, Sarah and Cari!!)

On June 28th, we participated in a progressive dinner with our Bible Fellowship Group. Jason and I had never attended a progressive dinner...it was a blast! We started at our house with chips and dip. The next stop was the White's for salad. The main course was at the Guyton's. They served brisket, potato salad, baked beans and bread...yum!! Our final stop was at the Maxwell's for dessert. Jason and I are so blessed to have an amazing group of friends that love the Lord. Here are a few pics...

Jersey Update

Jersey is getting so big! She doubled her body weight in three weeks. She went from weighing 8 pounds to 16 pounds...I forgot how fast puppies grow. Here are some pictures of her.

Her first soccer practice. She loves to play fetch with Jason.

She loves sleeping on her back. It cracks me up.

She also loves to prop her head up on something when she is sleeping.

I love this picture!

She got Stonebridge Pet of the Month. I think it will run in the next issue of the Stonebridge Paper. Poor Ellie! I am sure she would love to be Pet of the Month too.

Corsicana

Oops! I meant to post this blog several weeks ago...things have been crazy with school getting out. You think I would have more time now but the nanny job wears me out. I am exhausted when I get home from playing at the park, in the pool, puzzles, board games, game that we make up and watching cartoons.

We went to Corsicana for Memorial Day. It was the first time for my family to meet Jersey. It was also the first long car trip for Jersey. Ellie and Jersey sat in the backseat together. They loved being able to run around at my parents house. It was good to spend time at home, spend time outside and eat homemade ice cream.

Ellie sitting in her bed in the car...her favorite way to travel.

Jersey sleeping next to Ellie's bed.

My Dad and Brother, Jeremy, riding Lucky and Hudd.

I love this picture of them riding away.
