How ya been?

My word it's been a while. Lots of things have happened since I was here last. First of all my step daughter got married.


It was very emotional for my husband to see his baby girl get married even though we love her husband to pieces. He cried through most of the wedding and the father/daughter dance was so emotional.


The night before her wedding we went to see my hometown boy Justin Moore in concert. Loved it!


We had a nice snowfall in February around Valentine's Day.


Next Jacob celebrated his 11th birthday. (My laptop is down so I can't access his birthday pictures.) The day before Jacob's birthday we found out some exciting news.

This little one will be arriving November 1st.

There has been plenty of other things but I've been tired and sick so my memory fails me. haha Jacob's favorite thing is that we got our pool open and we've been spending lots of time out there.


Maybe things will change while I'm off for the summer and I can actually keep up with the blog. =)

Consistency

I just can't seem to stay consistent here. I can do basic things at home but when it comes to blogging and uploading the pictures on here, it takes forever and I'm trying to be better about managing my time.

We had a wonderful Christmas.


I enjoyed having time off with my family. We got Jacob a Wii and it's some of the best money ever spent. We are playing this as a family and laughing and talking. It's a great way to stay in shape too. My Mom really enjoyed it!

Please excuse the mess in this picture. It took me three days to clean up all the paper, boxes, and put away all the new stuff. Can't wait for Spring. I will definitely be doing spring cleaning!

My father in law picked out one of my gifts this year. This is to be my assistance if anymore rattlesnakes show up on my front porch!


We went to Gander Mountain Saturday and I finally got some ammunition for it so I will be practicing up!

Have a great week everyone!

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Well as you can see by my new header, we really enjoyed watching the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. The stadium is massive and the excitement from that many fans was phenomenal. I even enjoyed the football game. We sat beside a Raiders fan so my husband had a great time with the trash talking. We laughed and had a wonderful time. I must say, it really affected my Thanksgiving by not being at my mother in law's for the meal though.

Just a few more days until Christmas vacation. Two whole weeks off. Love it!!

Here is my parents with the younger grand kids. Somehow we didn't get Sherea in the picture.



Happy Wednesday to all of you!

Wonderful Weekend

Justin and I headed out to Mesquite Friday evening to get a start on our Christmas shopping. We found some really good sales and got the biggest portion of our shopping done. I'm so relieved. I am not a shopper!


When we got home Sunday night, we went to pick up Jacob at my parent's house and then off to get my brother's kids. Greg & Mandy both had to work yesterday and today so I offered to keep the kids so they could have a break and the kids wouldn't have to get up early. We have had so much fun. I love that my brother lives in the same town and I get to be close to his kids.


Tomorrow I'm going to brave the crowds and go get groceries. I intended to do it all on our way back home Sunday night, but I was tired of shopping and tired of the crowds. Thursday we are headed to Arlington to see the Dallas Cowboys play. I'm trying to talk Justin in to taking my Dad and letting Mom & I cook and relax! Friday afternoon we are having our Thanksgiving meal here at my house. I'm making lots of food and I can't wait to spend some time with my family.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Almost made it.

First off, look at this sweet picture of my Daddy

I love this man!!

Here's one of my parents with my son and nephew on Grandparent's Day at school

I love having them working here at the school so I can see them all the time.

Two more days of school and we are off for a whole week! Woo-Hoo!!! This weekend Justin & I are going to Dallas for some Christmas shopping and to celebrate my birthday which was this past Sunday.

On Thanksgiving Day we will be in Arlington. This is where we will be:

I bought Justin tickets because he has always wanted to go see the Cowboys play. His Poppa Roy instilled a deep love for the Cowboys and I was excited to be able to do this for him. I'll be taking a lot of pictures!

Howdy

Lots going on around the Roach household. First of all I got a new car! Love it, love it, love it!


My beautiful stepdaughter is getting married in January and we had her wedding shower yesterday. It was just a small shower but she got a lot of cute things. I love her so much!


We seem to have something going all the time. Jacob had a mild case of the flu and I sprained my ankle like nobody's business at work. It is still really swollen and bruised three weeks later. Justin said to give it another week and if it's not better we will have it x-rayed again to see if there is a fracture that couldn't be seen with all the initial swelling. Here it is after one week. So gorgeous.


Have a wonderful week!

I'm Married????

That's about how I feel these days. Justin is working all the time lately. I think this is his 15th day or night in a row. He works off in the morning and then heads out to Mesquite on Tuesday morning and will be gone until Friday evening. He's working on his degree in Safety Engineering so that's added to the hectic schedule we have. We seem to greet each other in passing and that's about it.

School is still going well. We are starting to have several out with the flu. One school not far from us was out Thursday and Friday because of so any sick kids. Makes me nervous.


Here's my new hair. The rain kept it from having much body this week but I am loving the style and the color.


I hope you all have a wonderful week.
