Thankful for...

There are so many things to be thankful for at this time of you..Today i am so thankful for my mom and sister who always know what to say, to make me feel better, the nice weather we still have and most of all im so thankful for James...without him I wouldnt have got a really great Christmas tree and wouldnt of had a great breakfast this morning. 

The other night after dinner with some of James friends, we headed to three different tree lots for a "perfect tree". Not sure how perfect it is, but i love it! Its my first real tree ever..really! I love the smell of it and hope it stays alive til Christmas! (im horrible at watering)

This morning i got to wake up to fresh eggs! James gets them from a guy at work and i sure do love them..and appreciate the guy who raises them and the delivery man! Yay for great/fresh breakfast! 

Just a few things...

Last weekend I got to attend the Djs Scrapbook retreat! Its always fun to see the girls from out of town and get some great ideas..Seriously people are so creative..its nuts!!

Last night we had Chicos and Cake (great combo ha?) for Dads Birthday! It was good to see him and the new baby! 

After we got home..James went out, so i got crafty!! Im trying to turn the "man" den in out "our" den. Since he has most stuff her likes up. Im just learning to work around it! 

Heres some cute frames I scrapbooked for the bathroom (white as heck wall). 

Just have to have James put them up. (hes better at it..wink wink)

Baby Keeley is here! (last week)

So im a little behind. Lex had Keeley last week..she so cute and we love her! Kesiah is pretty stoked to have her around and impressed that she coughs? Who would have thought. haha. Lex is already working out and having family dinners at her house. She is so strong and the best mom! So glad she is my sister and I get to look up to her! 

Yay for Surprises!!

So last Thursday...a normal day..nothing big going on besides laundry, cleaning house and delivering a red bull to someone I like ...That someone I like took it to the next level...

I was out running around town.. Got a call to be home in 5 minutes. After asking why? It was a surprise. The surprise was bigger than a puppy, and better...so after a ten minute drive, some papers being signed and lots of hugs...

This was my surprise....(ill be delivering cold refreshing red bulls more often..haha)

What a great gift!! and guy!

Berry Picking!

James and I went berry picking on the west side and had so much fun..Who would have known all those berries were there? and that I would like picking them...haha. We stopped at the Snoqualmie Falls so i could take some pictures as well..hes so patient...even when he almost had to carry me up the trail. Lets just say it was a great time going down, not so much on the way up...
