Christmas Pictures

We had a wonderful Christmas! On Christmas eve, Mac, Shaye and I went to my Grandma's house in Odessa. Then on Christmas, Mac when and got Dani from her house and we came and opened presents here then traveled the 8 miles to Wink to go to my Aunt's house.. The girls got tons and tons of presents.. They were really happy w/ them (or atleast I know Dani is, Shaye doesn't tell us much lol). Well, here are some pics from this past week.. laters!!

lol.. nobody has posted in awhile, so I thought I would.. I can't believe Christmas is less than a week away.. We've been so behind lately, but we finished up the girls' christmas yesterday.. Now all we have left are the J's.. and we're going to do that on Friday..

Cowgirl Shaye

The Girls

We had Dani this weekend.. She had a dance recital on Friday for Ballet, Tap and Jazz.. We made it through her last dance and then had to leave the auditorium.. Shaye wasn't being bad or anything, its just that she got a dance recital mixed up with a football game and decided to yell "go! go!" throughout the whole thing.. That night she was acting weird for a kid who is going through the "I don't like anyone but mommy stage". She was talking to everyone around us and even gave an older woman that we don't konw, a kiss.. maybe its finally breaking.. well, gonna go.. hope you enjoy the pics!!

Steph

Shaye just chillin' in her chair..


Dani decided to 'handpaint' everything.. even a pair of
jeans (I'm sooo glad it was washable)

original pic

Here is the original that we used.. i say it again, i know, we're dorks!!

Dani Animated

I know, I know, we're dorks lol.. Dani and I were playing around with photoshop and decided to do something to her picture lol.. This is what happens when we get really bored :P

Steph

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Here are Shaye's new pics.. I don't have a scanner anymore so I took pictures of them lol.. Don't worry family members, yours is in the mail

Christmas time blues

Life is.. great.. well, not exactly lol.. I love Christmas time, but i hate it too.. there is never enough money.. never :P Can't get the girls what they want and still pay bills and keep clothes on our backs.. I hate it :(

schools going great.. its just slow.. I now have 6 months left until I graduate. And i can't wait!! I've met some nice people, but I'm tired of being in school.. really tired.. I hate when I leave in the morning and Shaye is crying, no, Screaming her head off because she doesn't want me to leave. And I'm tired of having to hear my baby wake up at 2, 3, 4, 5 and then finally 7 in the morning because she thinks shes gonna wake up and I'm not going to be there.. It just kills me and I don't know what to do.

Sorry, I know this isn't the best journal entry in the world, but I just needed to get some of that out there.. laters!!

Maybe i should post

hmmm? what do i say? work is ok.....hate my job as ussual, but steph should be graduating next year, so i think i can hate my job for a little longer. I work 14 days on (which is ok, but i get really tired 12 hour tours) and 14 days off (which is awesome! I think I would rather work 7 on and 7 off, which i might be doing after the holidays. My old Driller (now my toolpusher) is going to go to another company and he wants me to Drill.

Nuff about work. My days off were good, we went to lubbock to watch Wink lose a playoff game, but it was fun. Dani had a good time. She bought herself some new Nike Shoc's w/ her birthday money. We stayed the night in lubbock, it was funny, because Dani and I shared a bed (we both sleep alike) and Steph and Shaye shared a bed (Steph got nooo sleep)hehe.

Shaye's doing good, she's eating a PB&J right now. Little Brat got me up @ 1 am this morning......i am soooo tired. She's learning how to scream to get attention, which stops when Daddy shows up lol. She's getting big.

Steph and I are doing good. I get to spend time w/ her on Days off. Days i work i might get to see her for an hour a day :(. So, I enjoy the time when i am home.

Not much else going on....Hope everyone has a great christmas.

Just a couple of photo's!

Just a couple of photos I took that I wanted to share... ttyl!!

Steph

Shaye loves this teddy bear.. She carries it everyone with her of course
gives it plenty of hugs and kisses :)

Merry Christmas!!

Daddy was in a weird mood and decided to put like 8 pony tails
in Shaye's hair.. She didn't like it very well lol

Thanksgiving Photos

Shaye just loves sister's purse, when she's able to steal it, she just
drags it everywhere.





Mac and Jeff watching football

Happy Thanksgiving

Just wanted to tell everyone Happy Thanksgiving!!
Today was a wonderful day! Mac, Shaye and I all went to my grandma's house and had a very very delicious meal. I think this was the very first meal that Shaye actually liked everything on her plate!! After we ate, Mandi dropped Dani off at Grammer's and we all helped her decorate her Christmas tree.. It was fun :) Well, I'm pretty tired and I have a kitchen to clean so I'll blog again later!! Love you and Happy Thanksgiving!

Steph

Helloo!!

I was reading the blog and noticed that I haven't written in a while.. well I guess I have lol. posted pics of Dani's party.. Just wanted to update ya'll on how everything was going..

Mac started his 2 weeks off yesterday, so thats good.. tonight we actually might get to go out with some friends for a change. There's this band, Ember that we've never heard of from San Angelo playing at Buffalo Wild Wings tonight so I think we're gonna go check that out. I don't think I can remember the last time I went out without Shaye.. Have I ever?? lol...

We haven't heard from Dani or anything this week but I think she's doing pretty good.. On Sunday she caught that stomach virus crap from me and Shaye but I think she's doing ok now.. I was lucky and got the stomach virus on a Saturday, and I was thinking since I hadn't seen Mac or anything cause of work, he wouldn't get it but he got it on Tuesday, poor baby, and he still had to go to work for 12 hours.. but he's all good now too.. Well, thats pretty much it.. I guess I'll post again soon!!

Love ya!!

Welcome to 'Club Dani'

For Dani's birthday party, we cleaned out and decorated the garage and had a dance party. Not everything went the way I wanted it but it was ok. They still had tons of fun. The only thing that really made the party stink for me was Shaye and I got the stomach virus and then on Sunday, Dani did too.. I'm better now, Shaye still has a fever, and Dani is probably still sick since its like a 24 hour thing. Here are some pics from her party:

Dani opening presents. She got a new cd player, a monkey pillow, a karaoke machine, a caboodle full of hair things and a bath set of gels and things.

Dancin' at the club


Dani was the first to break in the karaoke machine


Ronnie being a dork before the party. He decided to try on the
girls' hats.

Shaye Baby

Dang Mom!! Not so close!!

Whats going on?

Well, what's going on in my life at the moment? Nothing really.. Just going to school.. as everyone probably knows my family is the major thing I write about since they are my life..

So, on to them :) Dani's school football team recently played in the championship game and they won.. I'm not sure what the score is, the most important thing is tho that they won lol :) We are having Dani's slumber party on Saturday.. Catherine is coming to help (thank God lol) Its gonna be five 9-12 year olds.. plus Shaye and Kendall.. and the dog.. lol.. I think we're gonna have our hands full!! The party is gonna be a 'dance club' theme.. The garage will be the dance club and we're gonna have an I-Toy Dance competition, pin the kiss on the hottie, show us your moves competition (the girls get 1 minute to show us their best moves to song they don't know will be playing..) and other games.. they get fake i.d's, they get to dress up, and 'champagne' and others lol.. Its gonna be cute...

Shaye is..... a pain.. lol Lately she's been going through that whole, I want mama 24/7 which is kind of hard since I go to school.. plus since its getting to be winter, she's getting sick. right now she has a little head cold/fever so she's sleeping it off.. poor baby :(

Mac and I are pretty good.. he's working nights at the moment so he hardly gets to see us.. comes home at 7 am and I wake him up at 4 pm and he leaves at 5.. but its pretty much the same way on days too.. leaves at 5 am gets home at 7 but he doesn't go to sleep until about 9.. so i guess thats an extra hour.. oh well. its helping us out financially until I get out of school and get a good job lol :) Mac always jokes that when I get out and become a bookkeeper or something that he's gonna go work at allsups or something so I can make all the money.. he's a dork :) well, suppers about ready so I'm gonna go get it on the table.. ttyl!!

Umm.. nothing?

Just wanted to post.. There isn't a whole lot going on.. Mac is off for the next 2 weeks. yippee lol.. Atleast he can clean for me! lol :)

We talked to Dani the other night and the vikings will be playing at Ratliff next weekend for the championship.. hopefully we'll get to go..

Hmm.. shaye and i are the same... lol bye

Everyone's Green!!!

Hey everyone that might be reading this blog.. lol :)

There isn't a WHOLE lot going on.. actually pretty much nothing lol. I'm sitting here bored at school and wanted to write a little entry.

We get Dani this weekend.. oh yeah, Kermit the Frog will be here in Kermit, TX this Friday to kick off his 50th birthday/anniversary.. I still can't believe how excited everyone is getting over this. And then I can't believe UPSET people are about this. Not upset, just don't care about it. They think that it is stupid for them to be doing this. Like painting KTF on our watertower?!?! and everyone in town is painting their windows w/ Kermit on them, and S. Tornillo St. will now be "Kermit the Frog Blvd" I think that its cool that ABC and CNN will be here, but I mean some people are going crazy lol.. I heard a rumor that alot of the fball boys and some students are getting upset because they are making this homecoming to be all about KTF and they don't even care about homecoming.. KFT is even going to be in the half time show.. lol.. well, thats enough about that.. I'll post again later.. oh and we're getting the internet back!! yayee! that means tv and internet.. mac is finally getting regular paychecks again so We're gonna be doing real good from now on :) well, ttyl

Updating our busy life

Well, I started back to school on Monday. I'm didn't return to IBS but now going to American Commercial College.. I think I'm going to like it better here.. It seems a whole lot more organized.

Mac and I got married on September 17th. It was a fairly short wedding but a long reception for the people who stayed lol.. I haven't had that much fun in a long time and it was really due. :) Mac is finally going back to work tomorrow lol.. He is now working 14 on/14 off so those are 2 very LONG weeks lol.. I'm too used to only seeing him 4 days at a time... I don't know what I"m gonna do with 14 now lol.. jk.. :)

Dani has had 2 gymnastics meets these 2 past weeks.. the first one, she advanced to City.. she did awesome, still couldn't do a back handspring by herself but still advanced in everything. In the last one, there were a lot more advanced gymnasts there so she didn't medal or anything.. The day before, she learned how to do a back handspring but I guess the judges didn't think it was good enough.. We really don't think she deserved the scores that she got, but its ok, there's always next year.. she just needs to start slowing down and everything will be good.. Last night we went to her school play. It was 'mixed up fairy tales'. It was adorable.. the only sucky thing was we were late and completely missed Dani's performance. She was "Little Late Riding Hood".. I'll get pics up of all of those soon.

Shaye is a toddler.. lol thats all I can say.. She is now running around the house getting into everything. She has recently found the dog food.. all I have to say is YUCK! lol.. she loves to pull dvds down from the shelves and of course take all of her clothes out of the drawers and throw them around lol.. Well, I think that's gonna be it for today..

Now that I'm at school, hopefully I can post alot more.. they don't allow us to check email or anything but I can check all the message boards of groups I'm in so thats all good..

well ttyl!!

Hey everyone,

It's been quite awhile.. This summer has flown by so quickly, I can't believe its already gone!!

Last Friday, we went w/ Dani to meet her teacher and take a tour of her new school (They rebuilt her school). It is HUGE.. Dani said she would be carrying around the map w/ her for awhile.. lol..She started 5th grade on Monday. From what it sounds, she's having the best time. A couple of her teachers she's already had are now 5th grade teachers so she'll be seeing them again. I'm thinking her home room teacher she has now was her 1st grade teacher as well..

Shaye's doing good.. She still isn't walking even though she is 14 months, but I'm just letting her take her time.. She will when she's ready.. Even though she isn't walking, she still finds her way into everything... lol..

Mac and I are good.. we're pretty busy planning the wedding but thats pretty much it. I've taken a break from school to finish w/ the wedding plans and will be going back in October and I just recently started back at Pizza Hut delivering pizzas :P I know, its not the best job, but its a job lol.. Mac is still working.. he's still at Patterson but is looking into a better paying job at the moment, but I don't want to jinx it so I'm not going to talk about that lol..
