A New Addition...

As many of you already know, Justin and I are very excited about the new addition that will be joining our family in October. That is right, we are having a baby!!! We are both very excited and praise the Lord for our little blessing. We had a first sonogram a couple of weeks ago. The picture of the little one is below. This is at 12 weeks. Our official due date is October 16th. I will try to be better about posting updates on here regularly. Here is our little one!!!

We have our next sonogram in a month. We should be able to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. Stay tuned!!!

Last Saturday we had some friends over to watch the Texas A&M/Texas Basketball game. As many of you may know, the Aggies didn't look that good and lost. Thank goodness that Enrique and Marybeth came over and brought some entertainment; little Elizabeth. Elizabeth is 9 months old and is too cute. See the pictures below. Oh, and she does the cutest little thing. If she hears someone cough she fake coughs with them. The cough is a soft and little as she is. I fell in love.

Elizabeth and her daddy.

Mmmm. Sweat Potatoes.
Mmmm. Fingers.

Fun with the Aldertons and McNallys

A few weeks ago we went to Dave and Sharon's house to say good bye and good luck to Sean. He was going back to school for his last trimester at William Carey. We had such a good time catching up with the Aldertons and McNallys.

Here are the McNally kids. From the left Taylor, Sean, Daniel and Sharon.
Here is a picture of Proximo. He belongs to Dave and Sharon's neighbor Dean. I think he looks like an ewok (you know the teddy bear creatures from Star Wars).

See, he looks like an ewok!!!

And, no night at the Aldertons' would be complete without a little Rock Band.

We Have Music

In an effort to continue to improve our blog we have added music. Justin has been after me to do this and today I finally did it. I have absolutely fallen in love with last.fm. A special thanks goes out to Justin McCord for telling me about this amazing website. So, when you stop by our blog you will be greeted with music. Let me say up front that this is "my station" and it will play music from artists that I have added to my library. So, there is no telling who/what you will hear. Also, to help Justin save face not all artist that will play are picks of his. So, if it is extremely girly it one of my artists. Oh, and if you don't like the song scroll down to the player and push next. My feelings will not get hurt.

I hope you enjoy the music. Oh, and check out http://www.last.fm/. I think you will like it. And for those out there dying to tell; I already know that it is similar to Pandora. I just found out about this site first.

Gig'em Ags!!!

Let me say that I am so excited. The Fighting Texas Aggie Baseball Team is ranked #1 in the preseason polls. Whoop!!! Here is the link to the article. http://www.aggieathletics.com/sports/m-basebl/spec-rel/012009aaa.html

We can't wait to go see some of the games in good old College Station. Oh yeah, and visit our friends that still live there.

Extreme Makeover: Dillard Home Edition

Sorry, Ty is not coming to our house. We have however, decided to repaint our bedroom. Or, should I say that I have decided to repaint our bedroom. Justin is just along for the ride. This is about as extreme as I get without hiring a contractor. I have been talking about doing this for sometime. When we first moved into our house I loved the light green walls, so light and airy. However, most of our decor is not green. We have a lot of neutral colors; browns, maroons, golds, etc. So, yesterday I made Justin take me to Lowe's to use some of those gift cards from Christmas. Again, thank you everyone for those gift cards! So, we bought two gallons of paint in Dark Toast (I promise the color is prettier than it sounds), rollers, brushes, drop clothes and tape. So, each night this week I am going to try and tape off a little bit of the room so we can do all the painting on Saturday. Yeah, I am so excited. Justin on the other hand keeps telling me; "It's whatever you want to do."

So, hopefully either Saturday or Sunday I will have new pictures of our room up to view. Maybe I will run and get us new curtains as well! I still have some Christmas money left to spend!

The Greatness

I hope everyone has noticed our new banner on the top of the blog. I made it at scrapblog.com. Let me tell you, I have fallen in love with this website. I highly recommend it. I must say, I designed this banner from scratch but, they have templates available for the design challenged. You can use this website to design lots of things; photo albums, scrapbooks, cards, invitations, etc. So, go check out scrapblog.com.

I have already told Justin I will probably make new banners on a regular basis. So, check back often for the new looks. And, who knows...you never know when you will be featured on our blog. I hope everyone is having a great week!

Oh, and please comment and let me know what you think of the banner!
