funny kittens

So these kittens are the best entertainment ever! It's constant wwf in our apartment between callaway and Jasper. It's hilarious! The other day we saw Jasper drinking out of our decorative fountain, which is funny because they would NOT drink water. They still won't unless it's from the fountain. I guess it makes them feel like royalty or something!? who knows. we have sheets over our couches becasue although they dond't claw them they like to climb them. Well, now a new thing is trying to climb my dress pants....while i'm wearing them. ouch! Oh and one of my favorite things to do with kittens is introduce them to the mirror. It's hilarious. Callaway was pawing at himself all confused and looking around the mirror like it was a window and he'd find himself on the other side. It was pretty cute. Well that's all....3 more weeks and we're out of here. We can't wait. It's going to be a blast!!

Pico De Gallo

Today I told Sierra that I wanted to make some pico de gallo. She looked at me kinda funny, so I told her what it is. She said, "I just know that you don't want to get any in your eye-o. Unless you want to cry-o." It was funny.

our 2 new additions!

Jasper on his way home


so, we went to get Jasper, the kitty cat and when we got there they were all so cute, so we got two. Now they have a play mate. They're so cute. They're wild and crazy, but we love them. we left our door open last night and they never came in and woke us up. They're 6 weeks old and already potty trained. It was funny....I woke up at 6 cuz I missed them and I just watched them play around. Then Jasper went poo in the litter box, covered it up, but obviously not good enough for callaway because he went back in there and covered it up better! we have a woofle ball hanging from our cieling and they have a blast with that. They meow every once in a while, but it's only been like 13 hours since we got them so they probably miss their mom and other brothers and sisters. We don't know what they are....we're hoping boys, but who knows. I'm glad we got both of them...they play all the time together! I'm so happy, but I have a feeling I won't get much sleep because i get so excited to play with them!

Kahtryn's visit

Before going to chic fil a

At chic fil a..to see more cow photos go to chick-fil-a.com/pioneerhills

My mother in law came and visited us the 8-13th. It was nice to have her. We went to the capitol and a beautiful catholic cathedral, we went to Molly Brown's house and to Chic-Fil-A. It was international cow day at chic-fil-a so if you dressed like a cow you got a free meal. And I'll go to almost any extent to get free stuff. So Kathryn brought fabric and while Bryce and I were at work she cut out spots and hand sewed them onto our solid colored clothes. I was a white cow with brown spots and Bryce and her were black cows with tan spots. We also had some paper cut out ears and a cow nose we got from their website. We put a sign around our neck that chic-fil-a's cow always has that reads "eat mor chikn." It was really fun. We looked rediculous and I loved it!! They took a picture of us while we were there...I'll try to post it on this post. kathryn took us out to "fine" mexican food and we also went to good times and got a spoonbender. If you have never been there, i suggest you go and get there friends with wild sauce and a toffee carmel spoon bender. They're amazing!

So...Bryce FINALLY said we could get a kitten!!!! Our friend Nichole has an aunt who has like 7 baby kittens she wants to get rid of. I guess they've been inbread over and over again so they're like midget cats when they get old, which I think is awesome. I'm waiting for them to be weened so I can go pick one up. We decided we want a boy and we named him Jasper. They're tabby kittens. I can't wait. I need a little buddy to hang out!! :) Hopefully I'll be able to go get him Sunday! Oh and now I'll have someone to keep me company on the 16 hour drive to College Station since Bryce will be driving the truck and I'll be in the car!

I started packing the day Kathryn left. I have all the books packed, everything off the wall and all the holes from nails and screws puttied! It's fun...it makes it seem like it's closer to the moving date! Bryce's brother Glen and his wife Sasha moved to Dallas area which is 3 hours away from college station and Bryce's sister Melia and her husband Devin are moving to Lubbock which is about 7 hours away. Then Bryce's aunt and uncle also live in Dallas, so we're set! It'll be nice to have family in the same state. I just wish My family were closer! :( I'm awfully homesick! Well I'll stop blabbing, I hope all is well...

crazy weather!

So, it's July right? Because with the storms we have here, you'd never know. EVERY day around 4:00 we have a huge storm...thunder, lightening (only miles away), HUGE drops of rain and wind. Today it just started pouring and the wind was blowing so violently towards the shop I work at that the rain was coming through the seal on the windows!!! CRAZY! then, after 10-15 minutes of total chaos, it stopped and there were blue skies again. Weird, but I love it!

So I packed 2 little boxes today. I put them right back where all the stuff I packed in them was (under the sink) but now we are THAT much closer to being out of here. And...we're leaving Saturday August 15th instead of the 16th around 12:00 noon probably. We just found out Bryce's brother Glen is moving to Dallas for work so we'll probably stop to say hi before continuing to our new home! It's going to be so hard for me to go the speed limit!! I can't wait. work is becoming more and more annoying to me because I'm mentally already gone. I just wanna leave, but the money right now is good. My clientelle has really built and I average about $30-50 in tips, so I really can't complain! I love what I do...and good thing, becuase it really is all I'm good at. I was thinking about it and my resume for anything else other than hair would REALLY suck (or "not be as good as it could be"as my mother in law would say...love you kathryn!!) Good thing I love hair! Well hope all is well and that everyone has a good 4th of July. I'll be working. :) Be safe and have fun!

Fathers Day!

My Dad's always up for a good time...even golfing out in the freezing rain!!
Bryce is going to be such a good daddy!

Just one of the MANY things I enjoy doing with my dad!

dad and his girls

The two men in my life!

So it was sad knowing that Bryce won't be a father as soon as we were hoping, but man is he going to be a good Dad. My dad had such an influence on me and continues to today and so I have high expectations for Bryce as a father to our future children, that i know he'll be able to stand up to.

Some of my most cherished memories are with my Dad. I remember a time he took me four wheeling and i must have surpassed his expectations becuase he bragged about me to everyone that day and i cannot tell you how much that meant to me for my dad to be proud of me! Disappointing him was more of a punishement than getting grounded for a month. I hated letting him down. whenever I made a mistake, he cried with me and loved me...sure he was mad, but he always let me know how much he loved me in the end. I was always jealous of the time Trevor got to spend with dad doing "boy things." Time and time again I'd try to prove that I could do those things too so that I could have the time with my Dad that trevor did, but now looking back I'm just glad we spent the time we did together.

tornados!!

The tornado that struck Aurora, Colorado has been rated an EF1with 100 mph winds by the National Weather Service (actual photo of the tornado 10 minutes from us) :) Cool huh?

So i've never been anywhere with tornados until now. Last sunday while in Sacrament it started pouring hail the size of golf balls. It was so loud on the metal roof. Then tornoado warning sirens went off. There were a few tornados only 10 minutes from our house. It was pretty exciting, but I'm pretty sad we didn't see them. So then on wednesday the sirens went off again so we went outside to look for them, but saw nothing....so we went and played in teh crazy rain storm. I LOVE playing in the rain...Bryce on the other hand likes to be warm and dry. I convinced him finally (after playing in the rain by myself a few times) to ride his bike with me through the puddles and go slip n sliding through deep puddles in the grass. It was pretty fun. We got so muddy and disgusting slip n sliding, but Bryce said he was happy he went...I don't know if it's because he doesn't have to worry about me giving him a hard time anymore or if he had a sliver of fun!! :)
