THAT'S IT.

man. You can almost call me a non-blogger.

At any rate, we've been experiencing all the fun fall things up here...Ryan took a 5 day trip with his office to San Antonio for some ADA really huge thing, meanwhile back at the ranch, my mom and my grandma came all the way out to hang out with the boys and me so I wouldn't be too overwhelmed. She brought along a GIANT lady bug that's super soft and the boys love to jump on it. Hilarious. We also shopped for a day with the luxury of a minivan (thank you Schoonvelds), went to visit Susie at the Christmas Tree (I could buy that whole store this year- AWESOME stuff), got some dog sitting in for the Whitey's, took some cute pictures at JC Penny's, church, small group, lots of house stuff done, eating out, eating in, food food and more food. It was a fast 5 days. Thanks for coming!
Does this look like Ry's face or what.





grammas by the water. =)




Then of course BEFORE that we went to Jolley Orchards...which was fun if the weather would have been more fall-like...a bit too hot for apple cider. I have also been on quite a few hayrack rides in my day, and that was no hay rack ride. I think Oakland spoiled me. (never said THAT before- haha) But when you go anywhere with the Scoonys and Whitey's, your in for a good time.






House update: The outside is DONE! stone, siding, driveway/patio poured, garage doors on, front and back door on....as soon as we get a crappy lock on there we can start putting finishing products inside!! (I guess we put a crappy one on so that we don't ruin the nice ones with all the stuff that happens before it's finished. good idea Leo) And inside...the finish drywallers are hard at work. Pretty soon they'll start the sand storm, and in about 2 weeks we should be on the way to having a painted empty house! AND, this is exciting - last night we ordered a sleep number Select Comfort bed yesterday, to be delivered closer to the move in date (where would we put it in the apartment?!?!?) White's gave us a sweet coupon so we got some serious savings. boo yaaaa. Translation= WE HAVE A GUEST BED!!!...(the new one is ours, sorry. haha) But you all have a place to stay now that's not the floor!!! Pants, I know you're thinking it, we will still have the same couch, just in case it's calling you to sleep on it when you're here. haha.
Haven't taken a finished front picture yet, so you'll just have to imagine!



Here's the guest room. looks so comfy and homey right now huh. haha


Ry brought home some special treats for the boys from his conference...check it out. Cute!




Ok, hopefully this made up for my lack of blog in the recent past...stay tuned for more exciting twinies! Promise it won't be as long this time!!
