Putting up the Tree at Nana's

Every year my mom wants the kids to come and help her decorate the tree.

It was a fun night.

As most of you know my mom had surgery last year, she weighed over 250 lbs she is only 5ft tall. One year later she weighs 145 lbs. I am so proud of her. She has also had hip replacement about a month ago. She is the strongest lady I have ever known.

Update on the House Project

Well we have more stuff done to the house. Here are some of the pictures. Next is Drywall and they will be here tomorrow.

This is the wall that is normally behind the kitchen table.

Yes it look like a big mess. And my house is cold right now, but by the end of the week we will have heat upstairs and drywall everywhere. I think I have been very good dealing with the big mess. But to tell you the truth it is starting to get to me. I am so ready for this to be done. On the flip side it has not taken that long. Chris has done a great job making sure people are on time and doing their job.

Megan's 1st Concert "Hannah Montana Concert"

Back in September I tried to get Megan tickets to Hannah Montana for her birthday. They sold out so quick I could not get tickets. This was the one thing she really wanted to see. I told her that we could not do it maybe next year. And I was not going to pay $145 to 600 per ticket. Well Friday afternoon Jennifer Shearon called and ask me if Megan and I wanted tickets for Nashville Concert. But of course I said yes. She had two more tickets and we paid regular price. What was so amazing was we were right by the stage. And we got great pictures. The plus, last night was Miley's Birthday she turned 15 years old. We sung Happy Birthday to her, she was surprised with a cake and her Dad being there. Here was some of the pictures.

We did not get to seat with Madison and Whitley but we would meet up when they would take a break.

The Jonas Brothers were there too. I tried to get Megan right in front of them and take a pic. But it did not turn out that good.

They sang during the time Hannah changed in to Miley.

Her Birthday Cake. I am sorry so many pictures but this was a great mother Daughter night. Megan had a blast. I surprise her in the best way I think.

At the end Bill Ray came out and sang their song together.

This was a night I will not forget for a long time. And Megan kept on thanking me for getting the tickets. She wanted to make a scrapbook of this. And most of you know me I do like to scrapbook.

Pictures

We went to J. Travis Park in Springfield this past weekend and took some cute pictures of the family. I need to pick one that would be good for a Christmas card.

This is one of my fav. pictures. We took about 200 pictures. We had to keep taking them because Keyleigh had a face for everyone.

Here is one of my sister and her family. And we took some of the kids.

It was so hard trying to get everyone to smile or just sit there.

After pictures we had Chris come by to drop off our new Bath tub for Megan and Cole's Bath room. I ask Chris at first if he would get the kids a nice tub but I did not expect one this nice.

The kids loved it. I think it is better than the one we have in our bath room. I just might be taking baths up stairs for now on.

Why is it so hard to Blog?

We have been so busy with finding out about the baby, to my mom having surgery, starting the framing on the upstairs and having a Wedding shower. It has been one of those bad but good months. My house is turned upside down.

"WE ARE HAVING A BABY GIRL!!!!"

Sorry no ultra sound pictures. I can't find them right now. I will scan later and post it. It is in the pile of mess in my room. Here are some pictures of how bad our house looks

This is not half of it. Most of you know how big my laundry room is. Well right now it is a Christmas village. Our Bed room looks so bad that I do not like to go in there unless I have too. But on the good side we are getting our upstairs done. Here are some pictures of the framing.

Both Megan and Cole are so excited about getting new rooms upstairs. They come home everyday from school and ask what the builders have done next. This week we have Plumbers and the Heating and Air people at the house it has been very noisy, but I am not going to complain. Mr. Chris said it should be done by Christmas. It would be so neat to have Christmas in our new space.. I will try to blog more later. We did go and take some pictures and I think they turned out good. Off for now.
