Back In Action!!!

I'm not going to lie, I haven't been up to anything, just to lazy to blog. I think that my life is boring, but here are a few things that we have been up to and changes in our life:
I chopped all my hair off!! I have been wanting to do it for so long, but never had the guts to do it. When I finally realized that my hair would never look the way I wanted it to look long, I cut it off. For how long it was, it was long enough to donate or anything, but since the initial cut I've had it cut twice because it wasn't short enough. I love it!!!! I'm glad that I did it.
We had a huge hail storm. I have never been in anything like this before. It hit our house so hard that I was truly scared and went to hide under the covers. I don't know what I thought that was going to do, but I did. My heart was racing!! It ended up totaling our roof, put holes in our siding and destroyed Justin's truck. He couldn't even go and look at his truck because he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep if he did. It was about $10,000 in damage to his truck and it was in the shop for 3 weeks.
Justin had another race and I finally got to go to this one. He did so great. He is getting so good on the bike it makes me a little more nerves every time that he goes, but I'm glad that he loves it so much. This race was his first race in the heat and he had a really hard time with it, because of the heat. He still did great. Each race he gets a better time, way to go Justin. O by the way Justin is the guy on the yellow bike.


This weekend I had to miss his race because I threw my cousin a baby shower. I have to admit that it turned out pretty cute. I had a good time working with my mom and sister and everyone loved the food.

We didn't make the cakes, but they were so good. Look up nothing bundt cakes and see if they have them around you because they are the best cakes ever. We took a stab at chocolate dipped strawberries, pink and brown that was our color scheme. And then the guest of honor. Shannon texted me the night before and said that she might be in labor, I started to freak out because I didn't know what I was going to do with all that food, but it ended up being a false alarm. You would think that after four kids she would know what labor feels like!!! I guess it has been 10 years since her last pregnancy, yes that's right to all of those who have had their husbands fixed, sometimes they still get through!!!! Shannon is very excited to welcome their new baby any day now, or she will be induced on Wednesday.

Last weekend we loaded up and went to Colorado to meet my newest niece, Miss London Marie, she is so cute and a little ball of fire. I of coarse forgot to take pictures, but take my word for it she is going to break hearts one day. We had so much fun visiting my brother and his family, my other nieces and nephew are so funny and so much fun to be around. Although I got a little stir crazy I had to get out of the house on and so I went 4x4 with the boys and had a real good time!!!!The drive was ling but we made there in back alive and for the first time no speeding tickets.

Of course you know I love your hair!!! And looks like the shower turned out great, I am so glad. :) You throw a great party girl!

Mary said...

it really is very pretty good even the dipped strawberries look awesome, but i'm not surprised that you're good at this type of thing. Also...i missed reading about you.

I won't be in Dallas the 16-whatever but you should totally come and visit me the week before in San Antonio. Let me know.

Good job on the shower and I LOVE your hair! I chopped mine off a few weeks ago too... great minds must think alike!

You did a great job on that shower...wow. But it's freaking me out completely that Shannon is having a baby. But wonderful for her.

OMG!!!! We almost have the exact same haircut! Saturday it was wicked humid here & I couldn't take it anymore. I walked into the hair salon & said, "I want it all off!" The stylist had this giddy look on her face (turns out she loves chopping off long hair) and went to work. 6inches later, I now feel much cooler/lighter, but I think I kinda regret cutting so much off!

I'm glad someone was smart enough to take pictures of the hail. We brought it in, showed our kids (they thought it was awesome), and then put it in the sink. I'm not sure why we didn't think to put it in the freezer like other people I know or take a pic.

Those cakes and desserts look yummy! I've had to carbs today and I was drooling at the sight:)

Cute hair!
