fun new project(s)

my super fun new project!

with daniel healing i dont have a ton to do, but daniel and I bought some paints when we were in Idaho still because I have wanted to get crafty well these are the first ones ive done!

the backs, i just love patterns on the bum... oh so cute
ive also been spending sometime making jewelry and such, ahhh I love it here it's just so peaceful even though I am getting quite stircrazy... daniel is doing much better it was a rough 3 days turns out he was allergic to the pain meds so then we had to battle the crazy itchy skin, today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow better than today!

Rain... PLEASE stay

It's raining and has been off and on all day, I LOVE IT! Sylus hates it because typically it comes with thunder or vice versa, he gets a little scared! It's funny becasue the F-15s don't bother him which are crazy loud but some crashing thunder has him quivering, what a lamb! So it's raining and I am trying this new using my resources thing, so I decided to put a 3 gallon bucket under a drip off the outside of my house, then I would use the water to water my garden and such, well the bucket was full in no more than 40 seconds so I panic, go inside and grad a 30 gallon tub (just curious you know) I put that under the drip/waterfall and it was full in less than 15 minutes, we now have about 50 gallons or less of great water to use. I love it, we love it ,it cuts down on having to use the hose we have been putting off getting a sprinkler.. but just when you think your grass is dying it "rains buckets!"
Also I'll have you know that last week we pulled up the carpet and pad in the T.V room and now we can walk in the door and enjoy the house with out smelling stinky filthy car urine... good cats are fine whatever but sick cats that pee on the carpet.. lets get real folks... ugh!

Finally... RIGHT!!!

K so big fat shocker my pictures didn't work like planned, so i'll put lots of captions!
these top two are our tv room, yes that is our NEW 37" TV, with lots of mash being watched on it!

Daniel mowing our nice big front yard with our cuper steal lawnmower

our boys are on the porch but it doesn't have a gate so we took off our tv room doors and are using it as a gate! The dogs love it here!!!

my oh so tan feet... its getting there

our garden, we planted peas, black beans, onions, bell peppers, beets, carrots and potatoes... yum

we went to an air show last weekend we went from 9-12 on Saturday and 12-4 on Sunday this is Sunday after we got double red... ouch my face is now peeling

the blue angels came, it was awesome there were 6 total but the are jets and go crazy fast so the pics didn't turn out

Daniel enjoying the show

getting some sun!

The Geico Skytypers did this WELCOME, there are 5 planes that type in the sky, they did a complete circle in the sky around us it was incredible

a small glimpse of the 100 thousand people at the show

a golden knight dropped from a plane

lapse of judgement, it rains just when you need it too, we don't have a dryer but I like it this way, it's so domestic and fun to hang clothes

pretty pretty flowering bush in our backyard, it grows like a lilac bush , beautiful the camera doesn't do it justice

another day... lapse

woohoo, our moving truck came and we have a house full of furniture and too many clothes :)

the pretty flowers up close on that pretty bush

before we planted, we sure made a great garden, once it starts to bear fruit than we'll see if its all that grand
but I guess there is 2 garden seasons here in NC march and august

lets just say our carpets were NASTY when we moved in and this is the first strip from the carpet cleaner, Daniel was a saint cleaning these it took hours

TRIP

well San Angelo Texas is now something of the past! Daniel graduated on Friday the 19th and it was so so nice, he looked very handsome! My grandma flew down from Utah to be here for the graduation, thank you thank you! My sister, mom and 3 boys came over also, their support in this endeavor in our life is so wonderful and very needed! One of the speakers said something that rang very true, he said lots of "you might be a fire fighter if...." "every shirt in your wardrobe says you are!" Oh so true!
Kael was just loving every second of Daniel time! And Daniel loved every second of our family time :) Saturday morning we finished loading up and started our trek, we drove about 8+ hours to Monroe, Louisiana. The drive the first day went well I jotted down some facts about each place...

"Smile for Louisiana!" Daniel drove the majority of the time.We misssed the Louisiana sign but it still states it!
LOUISIANA (Saturday)

~in our fancy hotel room there was a lizard on the wall in our room, sweet and oh so freaky. Daniel escorted it outside!

~At the pool a woman was topless walking by the pool, wow!!!

~there was mold under the ac unit, adn it was the black bad kind... (I complained and she said, "thanks for letting me know I'll have someone take care of it!" ) what no discount??? ah

~ I was given a deposit refund check before we left Texas and we decided to find a bank(wells fargo) on the way. I asked a woman in LA if they happened to have Wells Fargo's here and she said..."what's wells fargo?" "it's a bank!" "I never heard of that" "awesome thanks anyway" (no tv I guess) Now I'm on the east with a check and my bank doesn't exist here... great!

~ Lots of swampy wetland, very green and gorgious!

Well my time here in Texas is coming to an end! Which

SURPRISINGLY

makes me

SAD

I'm not to the point of Texas Pride and I have no intentions of waving the Texas flag anywhere!

making friends and then moving

I have had a really fine time here, I really am going to miss my nephews, I see them about every week, and now ( I don't want to think about it) they love us and we love them. this will be the hardest part. but we are stoked to go to North Carolina and make it our home, we have found a house (hopefully) there it's kinda big, we'll have to start filling it with kids or something we'll see. It is 3 bedroom, 2 bath, den, living room and dining room, fireplace, central air, 2 acres, large fenced yard, and great neighborhood it looks like. We are strating our move on Saturday, it's a 3 day drive, literally the same hours it took to drive from Idaho to Texas, we shaved Teddi and he looks awesome and oh so much cooler. I plan to have the internet when I get there, oh things will be different. ahhh

Spooky in so many ways!

Friday around 11 am I get this phone call from San Angelo Security.... "Ma`am your burglary alarm is going off in your house whould you like me to dispatch POLICE?" um what? yeah totally! So I rush home to find 2 cop cars and 4 cops lirking around my house trying to find a way in without me! I got there put in my key "ma`am please stay out here" they storm my house with guns blarring, being sure to check every room and EVERY place where a predator could possibly be hiding! I peek inside (probably not the right thing to do if a predator was there) and to my horror I see placed just so on my chair were ALL my "tighty whities" for the fellas to see! I quickly threw my purse over them while one of the cops got my information! lastnight I even told myself to fold my garments but no I chose not too... WISE! (one good thing is NO ONE or not many are LDS here so they probably didn't think anything of it) It was super hot on Friday and I wore the wrong shirt so I went in my room to change and what do I see but my BRA hanging on the doorknob the very knob they had to grab to open the door in the first place to check inside!!! AHHH awkward! NO SCARY PEOPLE IN MY HOUSE, my door wasn't closing without the dead bolt, so when my honey came home he fixed that plate thing and now my door closes! HALLELUAH!
