Black Friday

I was scheduled to work on Black Friday and I was a little disappointed I wasn't going to get to go shopping.  But to my surprise I was able to be put on call at work and made a MAJOR dent in my Christmas shopping! Caleb will have a very good Christmas this year!  So far he is getting an iron man that walks and talks, an Imaginext Bat cave, a MobiGo and some fun clothes. 



                                               
                                           
                                                


I need to get some more stocking stuffers and just a few more little things but Caleb is done for the most part.  On the other hand Matt is so stinking hard to buy for. He won't give me any ideas as to what he would like.  Me on the other hand have a little list and hope to get anything or all of it :)

Christmas is so fun this year!

Random thoughts running through my head

1. Keeping up with a three year old is very hard!  I have my limits tested on a daily bases.  My prayer recently is that God will give me the patience to deal with Caleb.  I know this is just a phase that he is going through. I just can't imagine having a new born anytime soon.

2. Christmas is going to be so fun this year.  Caleb is so into it! Which is a total change from the past two years. He loves Christmas music right now, he feel asleep listen to here comes Santa Clause on Matt's phone the other night. Sooo Cute.  He tells me every day that Santa Clause is coming down the chimney and bring him toys.  He also tells me that he is going to sit on Santa's lap and tell him that he is going to ask for an Iron man and Henry the train.  Of course we have not been to see Santa, so we will have to see how he dose.  But until then I am totally enjoying Christmas this year! 

Oh and I almost forgot, I bought Caleb some Christmas PJ's this past week and he has worn them every night.  The first night he wore them and loved them so much, that the next morning he won't take them off and asked to just get dressed over his PJ's.  Too sweet.

3. Tom Hanks is one of my favorite actors!!  He plays such a wide variety of characters. Love his movies!!! You've Got Mail, The Green Mile, Big, Angels and Demon's, Forrest Gump, Sleepless in Seattle, Cast Away, Toy Story, Turner and Hooch, etc. Love him!!!!

4. I think I am at peace if our house doesn't sell.

Thomas the Train

We took Caleb to see/ride Thomas the Train in Grapevine.  Matt's parents came along for the day. Caleb loves is Nene and Pawpaw!  It was such a fun filled day. Thomas was in downtown Grapevine, the day consisted of taking a ride on Thomas, then we spent the rest of our time there in a tent.  In the tent there was about 10-15 tables set up with train track and all kinds of Thomas and friends, needless to say it was a HUGE little battle to get Caleb to leave.

Caleb and the TRE

So as of lately Caleb has had quite a HUGE little obsesion with trains! We got tickets to see Thomas the Train in Grapevine, but to warm Caleb up to riding an actual train we decided to ride the TRE.  Caleb had a great time, but half way through the ride he got a little restless so we decided to get off and wait for the next train back to downtown FW.

Caleb had such a great time!

My two loves! It was such a great day!

Tay's 21st

So the it had been a really really really long time since I up dated my blog. But with nursing school in the final count down, I figured I would try to start getting better at updating.  So here is what has been going......... 

On January 3 my baby sister, Taylor, turned 21!  We were all so excited to go out and celebrate with her!  We started the night off at my dad's with all the sisters for dinner and cake.  I was a really good time. We got ready to go to the Glass Cactus at the Gaylord to party the night away.  Unfortunately, Erin couldn't come with us because she was 7 1/2 months pregnant but everyone was so glad that we were together at dad's. After dinner and cake we got ready, which was so nice because it brought back all the memories from growing up.  Sharing make up and helping each other with hair. 

It is just so crazy that we are all grown up with families or our own.  It was good to just have time with only the sisters!

In the picture below (Amanda, Erin, Taylor, Melody, and Me)

Once we got the Glass Cactus we started with night off with a round of shots and then drinks. I have to say that is was a little strange drinking with Taylor, I guess because she is the youngest and it means that we are all getting old

Cheers!

Taylor and Mel having a good time on the way upstairs!

The cover band that night was Suede, and they are so GOOD!!!!!!!  It was the second time I had seen them and it was just as good as the first.  The first time we saw them was during Melody's bachelorette party, which also happened to be a The Glass Cactus.  Suede plays a ton of music ranging from classic 80's through today! Let me just say they are so stinking good!

 I believe that this is shot round #3

Suede ROCKS!

Go Aledo!

So Aledo is plays for the State Championship this Saturday. A couple of weeks ago Aledo played Stephenville at the new Cowboys Stadium. The game was so much fun, and so close. Aledo won in overtime! GO BEARCATS! Here are a few pictures from the game.

All these people here just to see a high school football game. I bet people in other states would think this is crazy!

The huge TV!
