Okay, Okay, I'll post already!

I know, I complain when other people don't update their blogs and then I go and don't update my own! We had a wonderful time at Hill Country. We were able to visit all the places that Eric went to when he lived there a long time ago. Some of those were a wash where we found sand dollars, fossils, and heart shaped clams. We also went to his old house and the park that he mowed. And then the best place we went to was this old cave off of a hidden road he found. We hiked up there and sat by the spring that came up at the back of the cave. It was cool! We also attended church up there. And then we spent one day in San Antonio. We went to the river walk and ate lunch, we drove by Georges grandmothers grave, and then we went to this airplane park at the air force base. We did stop by the commissary to see what they cost. I have heard that they are cheaper then a regular store but I could not see it. They had a box of diapers for 28.99 that is sooo not a good deal. I can get them for 20 at target and walmart! So I was disappointed. It is free of tax but that is not enough to make up for the price hikes! Anyway that was fun.
Then we spent one day at the timeshare. We played battleship, we swam in the pool, we played a cool set of mini golf, we wanted to play ping pong and shuffleboard but the people working the counter didn't do it right and kept giving the equipment to other people even though we were waiting first. We played chutes and ladders, connect four, Caleb entered a Simon Says contest. He didn't win but he had fun. We brought all our food and we ate well. Jeanne and George bought some stuff that we didn't really need and so our trip back was not any more comfortable then our trip there. It is supposed to be because you have alleviated all this extra room from the food being eaten, but this was their first time so they didn't really know.

Great Weekend Planned!

Hey guys we have a GREAT WEEKEND planned! This weekend Caleb has a 4 day weekend from school. And Eric was able to get off those days too! He had to fight for them. Get this, they told him he needed to give 2 week notice for a PERSONAL DAY! Yeah A Personal Day! uh doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of a personal day! I can understand vacation but not personbal days! So anyway he went and talked some more and was able to get them off.
So anyway, we are going to go to the timeshare, but not inTyler. We wanted to but they didn't have any openings there. They did have some openings in their Hill Country location. It is located between San Antonio and Austin. So a little longer drive but still fun. I have never been there so I can't wait to see what it is like!
So we are going there for 4 days! cool! We are going to be able to check out Austin and San Antonio too. How awesome!

Slow Days

Not much going on. Still liking my hair cut although I washed it and slept on it wet last night. You know the music on Nemo when Darla walks into the dentists office. EEK-EEK-EEK-EEK!?! Well My hair did that this morning. EEK-EEK-EEK-EEK! It was sticking up and curling on half and just a BAD hair day! That's okay though. I KNEW it was going to do this. I chose the cut because it is a cute cut but I knew I would have to do a little more to it. SO I got out my hot Iron and went to work. I was NOT prepared for my Hot Iron to completely FAIL at making my hair as nice as before! Okay Okay. It was a cheap one. I got some of it flat. So all was not lost. But I was severely disappointed in my flat Iron. I now have to go and buy a better one.

Caleb got one smiley face this week and the rest have been ok faces. I don't know what is going on with this kid. We have tried disciplining, we have tried incentives, we have tried talks, we have tried practice. We have tried more sleep we have tried happier mornings. I don't know what else to do. I am almost at the stage where we take everything away and he has to earn it back piece by piece. I DO NOT want to do that. And I know if I do I am going to have to contend with my husband and my in-laws. I will give it a few more days and continue to think of solutions but it is not looking good.

Elizabeth is fine. She is Growing and still spoiled. She likes to be held all the time. And he is definitely coming into definite nap times. I don't think she liked getting up so early this morning. But I needed to take Caleb to school so We could talk and remember and work on getting a smiley face today.

Not much else is going on.

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!! We are in the year of 2009. New years was fine. We stayed up and used the stuff we got from Tyler. Caleb had to take a nap before midnight and we told him we would wake him up, that boy did did not want to wake up!!!! He had a hard tome waking up. If we werent so obstinate in waking him up he would have gone back to sleep for the night. And then he seemed a little dissapointed in our meager celebration. We watched the ball drop and hten had soe treats. Back to bed after that for us!

Other news I got my hair cut. I teach tomorrow. I have finally taken down my christmas decorations. I will start taxes soon. I like to do them early still! We ahavent been married long enough for me to dread taxes yet! LOL j/k
