Thrift Store Finds

My mom and I stopped in a thrift store off 635 last weekend to see what furniture that might have for me to refinish and use in the house. Luckily I came across a $7 side table and a $30 mirror for the mantle. When we were looking at the mirror a lady came by and said that it just sold. I was disappointed of course because what are the chances that a thrift store find would be flying off the market. Well luckily the lady that bought it couldn't fit it in her car and my mom surprised me by buying it for me straight from the lady. We got both pieces home and started working on them right away. I love how they came out and can't wait to see what finds I find on our next thrift store search!!

Happy Halloween

This is our second year in our new home for Halloween and our last year to celebrate with no kid beside us. I can't believe this time next year, I will be carving pumpkins with little baby Preston creating memories and starting new traditions. So excited and absolutely can not wait!!!

Brad and Jessie invited Brent and I to come to their house and carve pumpkins while watching the Texas Rangers win the championship that will then put them in the World Series. Jessie baked pumpkin sugar cookies and I toasted up the pumpkin seeds for everyone to try. Jessie never heard of toasting the seeds before and although they spelt great, they didn't taste so good. At least we tried.

Fall Ball

Jerod has started his 2nd season of Baseball and this year he is playing on the Bruins team. So far they have done outstanding and this particular game they beat the other team 14 to 4. Jerod is now playing short stop and 2nd baseman and hopefully will get to try his hand at pitching. Him and Caden are certainly growing up and it will be very interesting this year as these 2 boys begin to discover girls and start wearing skinny jeans while skateboarding (wink wink).

Love you Jerod!!!

Bruins WIN!!!
