70's Party

We went to a 70's party on Saturday night and let me just say it was so fun!!! It was hilarious to see everyone in afro's and orange or powder blue tuxedos. The party was a fundraiser for Trinity junior high. Friends of ours do a 'themed' party every year and decided to donate all the funds to the school. We had such a good time!!! Here are some pics! I will post the whole album to my Shutterfly when I have a few extra minutes.

TGIF!!!

YES!! Thank goodness it is finally Friday! I swear, this week has been crazy! Sort of having a bad week at work and that really sets the mood when you get home. But anyway, it is Friday and I am ready to start my weekend. Tonight, Brady is going to a bday party/sleep over at Tristan's house..him and 3 other friends...he is super excited. They are going to see a movie and then go back to Tristan's house for the rest of the night. So Sal, Aryn and I will get to hang out..not sure what we will do. It has rained most of the week so we have been couped up. Tomorrow, IF it isn't raining, I want to take the kids swimming. I am losing my tan and I am not ready to go back to winter white just yet! :) Tomorrow night we are going to a 70's theme party at Trinity Junior High. I have my funky outfit all ready, Sal is still trying to put his together. It is so hard to find 70's stuff for guys. But he will be so cute in whatever he wears. Might be sporting a big ol' fro!!! I will be posting pics of the party later. I can't wait to see what everyone is wearing...should be a blast. Mom is coming over to watch the kids so we can go for a few hours. Anyway, I was wanting to take off today but because it is so busy here at work, I just didn't even ask. Brady starts 3rd grade on Monday and I really wanted to do something special with him. So with all of that, I found this sweet pic of the kids. I love to work but on days like today and with the kind of week I have had, I am really missing my kids. So here is a pic...they are so sweet! And look at our sweet Jazzer in this pic. It has been almost a year since he died...we still miss him so much. He was a part of our lives for 12 1/2 years. We love you, sweet Jazz! He loved the kids and they adored him. Okay, that is all for now! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Poor Sal!

My poor hubby! He drove straight back from Atlanta with our new car! So he had literally been up for 24 hours straight! I know I never tell him enough how much I appreciate all the things he does for me. But it never goes unrecognized...Thanks honey!!! Here is a pic of us from Father's Day! I think we clean up pretty good! :)

Great News!!

Yesterday, we decided to drive to Northwest Arkansas to look for a Pathfinder. This is the vehicle we decided we really wanted. It has all the room that we want yet, it isn't too big! So after driving all over the place, we never found what we were looking for...well, we found some but they weren't the right price. So on the way back, we got to talking and decided to call a dealership in Atlanta to see if they still had this one Pathfinder that we had found. It was at a really, really great price and would be worth the trip down there to get it! (This isn't the first time we have done something like this!) So we call and to make a long story short, Sal is now on a plane somewhere headed to Atlanta. I dropped him off at 6am and he almost missed his flight but made it just in time. He has a stop in Charlotte NC and then on to Atlanta. A guy from the dealership is picking him up and taking him to pick up the SUV. Poor Sal still has to drive back 10 hours....all this after an already long day. But he is a trooper and will be fine! In the meantime, I think I am ready for a nap!! :) Me and the kids are thinking about going to the library to check out some books and then going and doing a little 'back to school' shopping. We wanted to go to the pool but it is raining..which makes for great napping weather!! Brady starts back to school next Monday (the 18th) and then Aryn starts the next Monday. So I guess that is all for now! I am off to take a short nap! Bye! -Nicole

Visit with Grandpa

My dad was in town to see the new baby so he wanted to spend some time with the kids..so of course, they wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese. We MAYBE get to see him once a year but the kids really love when he visits. Anyway, they had a blast and after winning 700 tickets, me and dad were ready to go!!!
Anyway, Sal and I are still on the hunt for a new vehicle..it is all very overwhelming! If we weren't so crunched on time and could actually take our time to shop around, it would be sooo much better! We might just end up getting in the car and driving to Dallas. There just isn't any good deals around here and we can't find what we are looking for. So wish us luck and hopefully, I will be sporting a sweet new ride on Monday! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
