It worked!

So I decided that I would give Kris his surprise when he came to Mom's to help move in furniture (she finally got some new carpet).

I figured that that would give him a little extra pep in his step. He opened the envelope and said "oh, thanks"

and then read the tickets and realized that it was for the Broncos game and he gave me a little more excitement.
So needless to say, he got the furniture moved in and put back together in no time. Our little Addelyn was the supervisor! She did a fabulous job in that great outfit that she was wearing.

Broncos' Tix = Good Wife

That is what I am hoping for anyway...
I work with some incredibly generous people, and one of the firm partners heard that Kris was a Broncos fan and offered his tickets when they come to play the Panthers (which I love)!
Kris still doesn't know (he never reads our blog),

so I got him a jersey (which he has already tried on because I had to make sure that it fits before the game, so he thinks that it is for football Sundays at Grandma's house),

made him a blanket to take to the game (I chose the outside tickets and the game starts at 4, so I am sure that it will be cold),

and got a new digital camera to capture it all. At this point I hope that he will think that this will be fun, and like the surprise even though he hates to give or receive them. So I took pics of the blanket and was so excited to do this post, and now I can't get the pics downloaded...does bronchitis cause brain damage?
We (mostly me) have been sick for a couple weeks and I got Kris to finally go to the Dr. last night and got him some cough medicine before he ends up sounding like me and having to be out of work for a week. Marcos calls me a door knob lick-er and swears that being home is like being in a petri dish. I am off to find a card to put the tickets in to give to Kris...wish me luck! And I will try to get pics up soon...I finally figured it out!

So I have been trying to post for several days and it just hasn't happened. And now the snow is all gone and I have nothing to show for it because my camera sucks and I couldn't get the pics off of it, so I will have to try again later.

We finally got "our baby" last Sunday, the 16th of November. She is so cute and tiny! We have never had one so small.

So I will try and get some pics and stuff updated over Thanksgiving especially since my cousin Ash is coming and I can hardly wait! We are going to the Biltmore on Friday with Mom, so we should have some fun pics and stories when we return!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!!

Baby false alarms and being sick...

So I have been a little mia, but it's not my fault, sort of. First, Shena & Cheeto had a couple false alarms about Sera Sera coming and so I stayed at their house with the kids, just for them to come home with no Sera Sera, and then I ended up getting sick myself and haven't worked much this week. So to entertain myself I have memorized the Twilight soundtrack and re-read Breaking Dawn. My Mom also got our tickets to see the Twilight Movie next Friday...think I am a little obsessed! :) So, I will hopefully feel better this coming week, and then have something to post about. BTW I love the Twilight Series!

Feel free to add to my comments or post on your site. Have fun!

Slacker

So I know that I have been a slacker lately, but it is hard to find stuff to blog about when you don't have any kids...(and most don't think that Bofo counts, although I feel like I am fighting the constant urge of becoming the "crazy dog lady" of my neighborhood.) Plus, my camera sucks and my pictures look terrible (and I am SURE that it is the camera's fault, not the users) so that makes my blog boring.

So here is my life with out any pics to go with it...

Last weekend I did get to go to a family party in VA with Mom and got to see a lot of cousins that I haven't seen in a long time. I love the fact that it doesn't matter how long it has been since we have seen each other, we just pick up with where we left off, and the food is always so good! There is nothing like being with the fam and the music so loud that when you leave, you feel like you have been at an Enrique concert (because we were listening to Spanish music after all). After the Mexican party went to a wedding reception and spent a couple hours catching up with people there too. How I wish that I could just travel around the world catching up and visiting family, friends, and going to every baseball game/park possible...(because I know that there are so many that are so eager to see me! :)

Sassy came to my office yesterday and brought me lunch, that was defiantly the highlight of my week thus far! And my Mom gave me the sound track to Twilight, so that was exciting to me too! (I must say that the CD is okay, but I would have picked a totally different song for Bella's lullaby. I think that I would have my friend Nate make one up for me and just listen to him instead, Shena agreed with me too. I'll have to get with Steph on that.)

This weekend I think we are going to try and stay as close to home as possible, but since I just said that out loud, it won't happen that way. I also wanted to go for a drive to see all the leaves, they are so beautiful this time of year...

That is all that I can think of...so boring!
