thank you

Thank you DUSTIN. for leaving the toilet seat up last night, I needed a good butt washing at 2am this morning. in the dark.

Thank you RAMSEY. for begging for a cheeseburger from McDonald's and then not eating it. I love wasting money on nasty food.

Thank you BRYSON. for refusing to sit in the cart at CVS today. it was awesome carrying you around the store while you were screaming.

Thank you to the above mentioned family members. for driving me crazy at times, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Square Pebble

We had an awesome weekend visiting Lolli and Pops in Round Rock, or as Dustin calls it Square Pebble. As some of you know, Marilyn had a series of mini-strokes on Wed so we came down for the weekend to help out. I am so happy that she is doing so well. We are so proud of her!! She gave us all a scare and we are all so thankful that she is ok.

God is good indeed!!

I had to share some pictures of the food we made last night because it was so darn good! Onion strings courtesy of the Pioneer Woman and Marilyn! The shrimp Dustin grilled was A-MAZ-ING. Salt Grass, eat your heart out!

Anyway, thanks again to all of you for your thoughts and prayers for Marilyn this past week.

vacay....

I don't know why I love that word but I do, its just so valley girl.

anyhow.....check out the pictures on the dunkle blog from our weekend getaway.

one word: hilarious.

not smart.

I am not going to say I am stupid because I know I have some smartness in me.....it makes a rare appearance every once in awhile.

Anyway, I am not smart.

I forgot my camera this past weekend. Actually, that is not true I took the camera just not the freaking battery.

Hello?!?!?! Anybody home? -------- Apparently not.

But, I am not going to take full responsibility either. Dustin wouldn't have even remembered the camera so I was at least one step ahead of him.

So, all pictures are in the Dunkles possession. I plan on getting her drunk, stealing the card from her camera, erasing any bad pictures of myself and then posting the rest!

Road-trippin' time again!

This weekend we are headed down to Horseshoe Bay with our good friends the Dunkles. We are all really ready to get away for a few days and what better to relax than with friends by a pool, lake or golf course?

here's what I have packed so far:
flip-flops
sunscreen
tons of snacks
swim diapers
swim suits
book
sunglasses
vodka
rum

DONE!

And can I make you even more jealous???? We are doing "PNO" at the gym tonight.....so, not only are we going on a little vacay tomorrow but tonight we are hittin' the town with some awesome couples without the kids! WOOHOO!

Threes

A game of Things happen in threes... And don't lose interest before you are done - you just might be tagged at the end!

Three childhood memories:
Going to Sea World every summer....usually with my cousins Carin and Melisa and my Grammie A.
Spending time at our lake house during the summer and going to Angel Fire, NM during the winter with family friends.
Megan (my middle sister) used to chase me around the house with a HUGE knife in her hand. Looking back, I know I was scared but also knew she would never do anything to hurt me. I used to run outside bc I knew she wouldn't go out there with a knife! I didn't tell our parents about it until a few years ago and I still think they are shocked!

Three sentences about yourself, each consisting of 3 words:
My family rocks.
Love my friends.
Target loves me! (and my debit card)

Three bedtime rituals:
First I wash my face, brush my teeth and take my pills.
Say "goodnight" to Dustin....kiss him if he is close enough!
Make sure there is a HUGE glass of water on my nightstand.....I wake up all the time and drink out of it.

Three sites you visit daily:
Facebook
Yahoo
Pioneer Woman

Three reasons you live where you live:
We can afford it!
Great neighbors!
Great school district!

Three pictures on your computer with three people in them:

Me, Erin and Rhonda

Dustin, Bryson and Ramsey

Conner, Bryson and Carson when they were little-bity.

And last, tag three people with blogs who you want to copy and paste their own threes game and write three words about each one:

Carin: cousin, caring, adopting

Melisa: cousin, sweet, TEXAN (although she sounds more like a Michigan Yankee!!!)

Christine: friend, trustworthy, creative

Why? Why? Why?

Why, Blue Bell, did you have to make this delicious tub of goodness?? Don't you know I can't resist chocolate ice cream with chocolate cake pieces and chocolate coated strawberry hearts, surrounded by swirls of strawberry sauce and chocolate icing......

Why did you have to go there?

And, Market Street you are to blame as well for putting BB ice cream on sale last week. 3 for $10.....who can resist that price? NOT ME!

I am also going to blame my Aunt CiCi because she is the one that introduced me to it at the lake a few weeks ago. So, if I gain 10lbs we can blame it on Blue Bell, Market Street and Aunt CiCi.
