Ode to Skiddo...

I'm sad to announce that I think our beloved Skiddo has gone on to a better place. I figure after two weeks of not showing her face around here she has either died or adopted a new family. I'm hoping it's the latter one. I never thought I would be sad to see her gone after all that she put me through...meowing through all hours of the night, clawing at our furniture, peeing on EVERYTHING, clawing up the carpet just because we shut her out of the bedroom, neglecting her kitten when it was first born although she could have been suffering from post-partum :) hissing at her kitten and her sister because they smelled different, attacking skipper, getting pregant in the first place...the list could go on and on. I have to admit that every once in a while she was a good cat and we did raise her from a kitten and brought her all the way from utah to Texas (which I don't recommend!) Anyway...I just thought I'd say a few words for our messed up little cat. At least her legacy will live on through her kitten.

Out of Curiosity...

This is for anyone. If you could go anywhere in the world for a vacation where would it be and why??

New Braunfels, Texas

I went to Braunfels with Alycia and her kids and April on Wednesday and just got home today. It was fun, I love going there! It is near San Antonio and the land is so beautiful there! It is so wide open and there are tons of rolling green hills! It is great! Anyway...Alycia found a cute little farm house for us to stay in. It was built in 1925 (or somewhere around there!) It was so cute and it was so quiet and peaceful. Chad met us up there Friday morning because he felt like he had to work or something :)
These are pictures of the drive-through zoo. I've never been to one and it was actually kind of creepy how close the animals get to you. The zebra was really neat to see. Carly liked it at first but the closer the animals got the more freaked out she got. It was actually quite funny to watch her. She called everything a dog.

These were pictures I took in the house we stayed ( I'm mad I didn't get a picture of the actual house) The hat Carly is wearing is one that April made for her.

This was wednesday night at the New Braunfels Smokehouse. (they have the best turkey jerky, if you are ever craving good jerky I recommend ordering it from them!) Carly was being silly. She was so funny with Adam. Everytime Adam would get close to her she would hug him. He got really tired of it towards the end of the trip, I think. It was a fun trip but it's nice to be home again!

Look what I can do!

I think we need to do something about this problem!

Pictures!

Well, there aren't many pictures I can take that weren't on that website but here is a few. I love the stair case, there is two ways you can go up which is great. The downstairs is kind of a donut shape which is so great, I love it! So far we have replaced some light fixtures and knobs in the kitchen. I have removed wallpaper from the upstairs guest bathroom and have primed it, now I just need to paint it. it is slow going but it is fun to fix things up!

These are pictures of a new dress I bought for Carly. She never really had a fancy princess dress so I figured why not? I got it for a really great deal too! She looked so cute in it!

I'm back!

I can't believe how disconeccted I felt without the internet for a week! It's kind of sad! Oh well. Well, we are now all moved into our new home and I love it! Now my problem is trying to figure out where I want to put everything. Carly took a couple days to get used to it. I can now leave her sight without her freaking out, which is nice. She loves playing on the stairs of course. All of the downstairs is the laminate wood flooring and it's pretty funny to watch Skipper chase a ball, he can't stop very well so he just slides to a stop. I will get pictures on here soon. I just feel like I have so much to do and so little time to do it in.
