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.

They're Here!!!!

That's right folks the pictures have finally arrived!!! I'm so excited and can't wait to start hanging them up in the house. Here are some of my favorite ones: These are the ones that are going to replace the ones on the wall. Including the family picture at the top.
These ones are some of my favorite candids that I'm not sure what I want to do with yet, but I will figure it out.
She wanted us to kiss Braxten on the check and I serberted him and it was so funny, I wasn't allowed to kiss him on the check again.
Jenny Thank You so much for all the great pictures! It's going to be hard to display them all, but I'm sure going to try.

Extreme Home Makeover!!!

So this past December Extreme Home Makeover came to Keller to build a new house for the Augustin family. I know that this is a really late post, but I was just looking at another blog and wanted to post these pictures that my sister in law had on her blog. So when we heard that they were coming we tried really hard to get in and do the outdoor lighting for the families house. They told us that they already had that taken care of, but we could enter the auction if we wanted to. They had an auction for the march of dimes to raise money for all the families in need and that the Augustin family has and had worked with. She takes pictures of preemie babies that do and don't make it home to there families. Anyway, we signed up to donate and went over to the site to be there for the auction. We got our VIP passes and sat in a tent to watch what was going on, it was freezing cold and REALLY windy that day so it was no fun to be outside. We waited all day to see what happened at the auction, but the camera crew and production had a mind of their own so we didn't get to stay for the whole thing, but it was a very neat experience and I'm glad that we were able to be a part of it. Here is our logo on the sign: Majestic

On our way out the door, and after the filming took place we got to have our picture taken with Pauly and Tracy. It was fun!! Long day, but fun!

Hot N Cold!!

This post is a little late, but I guess it's better than never, Right. A few weeks ago it was really warm outside, probably in the high 80's low 90's I heard, not really sure or not. Justin and his guys had just finished washing his truck in the driveway and he was really HOT!! This was like February 27 I believe, so he decided that it was warm enough to get his suit on and jump in the pool.
Thinking about jumping in!!
Whew that is Cold!!
I'm getting out of here it's to Cold!!
So a couple days later it had cooled down quit a bit, to the low 50's I believe so the pool hadn't had a chance to warm up at all, he decided to try it again. For his birthday he got a wet suit and he wanted to try it out. So on March 3 he tried jumping in the pool again to see how well his wet suit would work.
Yep it's still COLD!! The Hot Tub is nice and Warm though.Justin's Cousin Andy wanted to try his dry suit and it worked a lot better than the wet suit, he wasn't nearly as cold as Justin was, his whole body stayed dry his feet were frozen though.
So they both ended up in the HOT tub.
I guess the lesson is Boys will be boys and still do crazy things!!

Happy Birthday Justin!!!!!!!

All week my husband has been dreading today. He hates celebrating his Birthday and always wants to skip it. I think most people enjoy having a day that's all about them, even if it's just for a day and it means that you are getting older. Not Justin, he thinks that everyday is all about him already so his Birthday just means that he is another year older! So here is to another year older, wiser, and closer to retirement!!! I'm very lucky to have a guy like Justin, I joke that it's all about him, but in reality he does everything for his family. He loves us very much and wants us to play just as hard as he gets to. He got a boat for family days out on the lake, even if Braxten and I get sick of going and we HAVE to go so he can get a wake board run in. He goes and rides motocross to give me a day to myself, even if I've had five of those already in one week, he lets me have one more. He also wants to bond with his uncle and cousins, and one day soon I think he hopes to be able to share that love of riding his bike with Braxten. He drives a nice truck and washes it every week so that when he takes me out I don't get my clothes dirty, not because he can't stand a dirty truck, it's all for me. He has taken on Hobbies of remote control airplane flying and race car driving, so we don't have to sit around the house on Sunday we can have a little family entertainment without breaking the Sabbath. See he thinks of all of us in his daily activities!!! All joking aside I love my husband and he really does work hard for our family. He is keeping us a float in these hard economic times, and I want him to how much I appreciate it. I'm thankful everyday that I married him and that he keeps me smiling all the time. So Happy Birthday Just, I love you!
