Carving Punkins

Chayse is OBSESSED with "punkins" right now. Yesterday we carved the punkin! And while we were doing it I was baking punkin bread! Here are a few pics of us getting ready for Halloween:

All finished!

P.S. Chayse can't wait to be a giraffe tomorrow, we have been working on saying "trick or treat!"

WILD weekend

This weekend just FLEW by...

On Friday John and I both took off half a day and went to "The Ranch" where my parents live and helped with a bus load of visitors. My mom had invited a string of her friends that were traveling through, and while they were there, they fished and visited all the animals While they were visting Chayse entertained and by the time they left had several people wrapped around her finger - nothing new!

Then on Saturday we went to San Antonio to my sisters house and took all the kids to Sea World. Chayse has a blast everytime she sees her 3 yr old cousin Carson and 9 month old Kennedi. We spent the night, then came home today and John and I are WIPED. As I type Chasye has already gone to bed - two days with no nap does not equal a happy 2 year old.

We have so many things going on this week, Halloween is Friday, we still have to carve a pumpkin, and of course trick or treating! Hopefully I can get some pics up this week - if I can figure out how to do it! LOL

Getting Started

Well, I just seem to be getting started with this whole blog thing. John has been telling me for a while that I should write a book, but I really don't have much patience for that sort of thing so maybe I can just share some things on here. To give a tad of a back story, John and I have been married for 5 1/2 years and have a two year old daughter named Chayse. I work with other deaf people in vocational rehab, basically helping them be successful in employment. John works as a pipefitter with a small company that is part of a union and is contracted by bigger companies to do construction. Chayse goes to preschool and is truely a "happy camper."
Stay with me and I am going to try to get this thing rolling and keep you guys updated on our lives.
