Vacation Pictures and first day of school

Ok, first off, you haven't read anything from me today because I am sad....sad that Tyler started school today and he DROVE HIMSELF.... I was sad that I didn't get to shoot pics of him walking in the door with his little backpack on.... I threatened to follow him up there and do it anyway, but I had my pajamas on so he knew I was lying! So, we took pics in the driveway. I was evidently still asleep as they look like crap! Evidently I was a little more awake when it came to Clints pictures!






Ok, second part of the post, VACATION ROCKS! We had such a great time at lake Degray. I love it! I know that will NOT be our last time there. The boat was awesome except for a little tow in on the last day. I was really bad about taking pictures. No group shot, not separate family shots, nothing.... I was having too much fun! I'll upload some pics tomorrow, but for now, I'm going home!

I told you...

I told you I would start griping about the rain...you see, we go on vacation tomorrow. Yes tomorrow, and do you know what the forecast is going to be where we are going? Thunderstorms. Thunderstorms every single day that we are there. Every single day that we rented a houseboat and are supposed to be on the lake, it is going to be storming... I'm really worried about it... I'm going to start begging Steve to drag our camper up there with us. Yes, we bought a camper. I can't wait to use it! Unfortunately, it could be this weekend...IN THE FREAKING RAIN!

Finally, the rain gods have answered

Not that I believe that there really is more than one god, I was just using it as a figure of speech... It is raining here today. That means our pond is hopefully starting to collect a lil bit of water! Looking at the forecast we have a chance of rain for the next 5 days! YIPPEEE!!!! But being the spoiled brat I am, by the end of the 5 days I will be begging for it to stop raining...

Weekend wrap up

Well the weekend came and went already. Dang, why does it go by so darn fast? Friday night we celebrated a friends 50th birthday...It was a lot of fun. (I'm glad I am not that old though!) Then Saturday was the garage sale for Ty's TV magnet booster club. It went great. Great parents and kids showed up to help and the weather was great. A little hot, but it could have been lots worse! Saturday night we saw a play that Skylar was in... Wagon wheels west, it was great! I really, really enjoyed it! Then on Sunday we made our way down to the land to check out the completed efforts from last week. So here are pics of the completed pond, the house pad and the garage pad. So now once it sits for about 6 months we can get going! Boy am I ready! Yall have a great week and I'll pop back in later...

a lil modification

I just picked up Ty's jeep WOW I love how it turned out. Of course, I can't get my fat butt up in it very well, but I love it. He is going to be so happy when he gets home!

The pond and double rainbows...

Well, I am happy to report that the pond is underway. We drove up last night and I got to take some pics while Steve and Doye talked to the guy that was doing it. It should hopefully be done today and then the dirtwork for the pad for the garage and the house will be started. I am soooo looking forward to getting that done. Then, after rolling over it for 6 months we can start the building process. Here are a couple of pics. Oh, also, we saw a double rainbow last night. I took pics, but not sure how well you can see them. It was an awesome site.

Craigslist...way better than a dang garage sale...

Ok, so we had the G sale this weekend...same gripe as last time, people want it all for free.... I swear to you, I price stuff to go, I'm not going through all the effort to put it out there for me to just put it back into the garage, I want to not touch it again...but when you have 10 yards of material and it has $5 and some chinese lady says how much (even though it is right there on the freaking tag...) and I say $5 but for you today $3... know what she comes back with? How about $1...WTF??? How about you take your ass out of my driveway right now...DANG IT! People piss me off during garage sales...BTW, guess what I am doing next Saturday? A garage sale for Ty's TV magnet dept. Difference is, I DON'T care...I already sold everything I want money for this week, well except a couple and that brings me back to the Title of todays post....CRAIGSLIST
I loaded 5 things on Craigslist this morning...I have sold 3. The same freaking 3 items that no one wanted in the garage sale or they wanted to give me a dang $1 for it.... I'm not looking to make a killing here, hence why some of the items went in 5 mins... but a computer desk for $25 is not unreal, as a matter of fact for the garage sale I had $20 on it and one guy tried to talk me down and I gave him the whole "I just took pictures to load on craigslist later and I know that I am going to get it for it, so don't even think I am going $1 cheaper talk...." he just said, oh, and walked off.... I HATE FREAKING GARAGE SALES...I LOVE CRAIGSLIST...I might just marry it...
