A Post Worth Waiting For..


You know good things come to those who wait LOL well that's my excuse anyways! haha

Since I screwed up our Austin trip, I told Tyson we HAD to take the kids somewhere. We all love the beach so we made a quick trip to Galveston and used our free night there! We went through the Crystal Beach way partly because we wanted to see the damage from Hurricane Ike but also because Caroline had never ridden on the ferry. Poor baby!:(

I'm glad we did! We saw the dolphins as we loaded up!



Then we went swimming in the ocean Of course Caroline cut her toe on a rock as soon as she got in so her & I didn't swim long b/c the salt water was making it hurt.


After we swam we grabbed some dinner then we went back to the hotel. The next morning we got up and went swimming in the hotel pool~crazy kids! That's what they picked!:) Then we went back to the beach and got a sno-cone, looked at some monuments that were on the beach, then went seashell hunting.






we called it a weekend and came on home! It was a quick trip but we had a good time hanging out!

The other day when I went to the grocery store I got some AWESOME deals




The pens were 2/$1 and then I had a $1 off when you buy 2 so they were FREE!!!
The biscuits were 10/$10 so I bought 2 but I had a coupon for .35 cents off and they tripled it so 1 of them was nearly free!:) the torillas were 2/$3 then I had .55 cents off coupon & I had 2 of them so they were a good deal too!

The last 2 best things are I got a new haircut today~here are the befores






here are the afters


I don't think tyson liked it too much! lol oh well he doesn't have to deal with it. The best part is that it was FREE!!! I was waiting for my appt and I let a guy go in front of me & he asked my hairdresser if he could pay for my cut! :) I was so appreciative!

Also, finally I'm down 10 lbs (it's about dang time)



Can you tell? :) I've lost lots of inches though!:) I am wanting to go try on new pants but I'll be sorely disappointed if I'm not at least a 12 I would really like to be a 10.

The Birthday Party


Heather decided she wanted a cheerleader birthday~hum, imagine that...one of her cheer coaches is a HS cheerleader here so I asked her to bring a couple of friends to come to Heather's birthday! they did a great job and Heather really enjoyed it!




They practiced the cheers with them for a little while then we took a break and had nachos, then they practiced some more, then we had cake and presents. At the end, they let them change into some old uniforms and then they got to perform for us! They were so cute!

*Happy Birthday Heather*

It's hard to believe that Heather is 11 now! Where has all the time gone? We took her to celebrate on her birthday to Cafe Del Rio! That's our favorite place to go especially when it's a birthday b/c they serve up this yummy strawberry ice cream! Heather got a new camera for her birthday b/c her little sister broke her old one~which happened to be a good thing b/c mine got stolen out of my car when my wallet did!

Here's Caroline & I testing the camera out! We wanted to make sure it worked before Heather got it!


Jed & Tyson

Caroline



Heather I don't know what's with the crazy look on her face!


Here she is with her 11


I thought this was funny~I think she saw this on a friends blog and had the idea to take her own pics in the bathroom mirror! I'll have to teach her the art of self Portraits! haha
