GEEEEZE!

It has been a long time since I have updated. We are all moved in to our new house, and we are loving it! The only bad thing is that we do not have the Internet yet. My computer fiance is trying to work that out. No one wants to give us Internet out in the country, so hopefully we get something going soon!

Home Sweet Home....

As of Thursday October 15, 2010, we are officially homeowners! We are set to move in approximately 30 days. There are currently people living there now, so they have to pack up and move up. They didn't think that they would need the full 30 days.

Ryan, Kira, and I are super excited. The budget will be tight until I graduate, but we will make it work!

Home sweet home...3 bedrooms, 2 baths, on 1.3 acres!

Busy Busy BUSY!

With school, and work we have been a busy household. Labor Day weekend was CRAZY! Starting Friday night, Kira had a sleepover with a girlfriend, Saturday we went to Lexington, KY for Sienna's 1st birthday (Bri & Noah's baby.) Then on Sunday we went to Evansville for Kris & Jen's Engagement Party, and Kira stayed in a hotel with her Nana and Papaw Jeff. It was really busy, but I think we all had a blast!

SLEEPOVER! Going down the waterslide in Lexington!

The Love of my life and my best friend....

My bestest and her fiance!

My friends! We were all actually in the same place at the same time! Never happens!

I have been looking at my calendar for just ONE free day...not happening. I think I have to wait until November for one of those...I did get to go to Edinburg with my Momma, Grandma, Sister-in-Law, and Nephew. We all had a great time. Except, there wasn't very good deals this time. Anyone who knows me, knows I am all about a deal!

Kira is getting ready to start playing basketball...and who is her coach? That would be Coach Hanger! Ryan is coaching her team "The Lakers" this year. I think it will be a fun thing for them to do together.

Future Softball Player?!?!

Ryan has been talking about wanting Kira to play softball for a long time. They went to a Reds game with I was in Boston, and know she would like to play. Kira has never done anything related to it, but tonight Ryan took her out to hit a few balls and...SHE DID AMAZING! She hit quite a few that would have gotten her to first base--easy!

I think it would be so much fun if she played this coming summer. I know Ryan would love spending time at the ball fields (he was a college baseball player haha!) I played softball when I was little and I LOVED it! Anyways, I just thought I would share that ;)

Would You Like Some Chowdah?

I went to Boston with my parents last week to keep my mom company while my dad had his yearly dealer market. I was super thankful for them inviting me! Mom and I toured the city, while my dad was at his dealer market all day. It was fun, and interesting but HOT! The temperature was 95-100 everyday, and the humidity was 90-95%! Mom and I did the duck tour of Boston, the Freedom Trail, rode the trolley all around the city, went to the old graveyards, and did a little shopping! In the evening dad joined us for some amazing seafood! our favorite was Leader's Seafood. They serve their clam chowder when we get a new president. Anyways, the trip was great and I enjoyed spending time with my parents! My 1st WHOLE Lobstah
First Night In Boston at "No Name"

Poppa and Momma <3 Momma and I on the Duck Tour

Has It Really Been OVER A Month?!?

Yikes! I am 1 month, and 4 days behind! So, Kira started school and is LOVING it. Her teacher this year is Mrs. Benson. They don't change classes as much this year, as they did last. She is really excited that she is learning about health, and science. She is learning algebra too...I think that we are going to have to do quite a bit of studying at home.

Happy 4th Grader!

Kira is growing like a weed! We bought her new tennis shoes this summer...and...she can barely put her foot in them now. So, tonight Ryan, Kira, Rachel Lett, and myself headed to the mall for some new kicks...She got a new pair of purple/silver Nike running shoes. They are size 5! Then we stopped and got some Nike pink/orange basketball shoes, size 5! It is crazy! I can no longer go and buy her shoes without her trying them on :(...I know that the day is approaching that she will no longer like the clothes that I bring home :(, but for now she still likes them!

Back To School Time?!?!

Can it really be THAT close? Last week I realized that we needed to get Kira a new backpack. I finally ordered one yesterday. I let her pick from Old Navy, Children's Place, and The Gap. She chose a teal messenger bag with owls on it...I know I know...Owls??? What can I say...she gets it from her Dad. Ryan and I also picked up the basic school supplies, but are taking her back to pick out the fun notebooks and folders. Since little miss has decided to grow a TON, I went ahead and got her 3 new pairs on jeans...and let me just throw in the amazing deal that I got. One of the pairs was on clearance for $2.99!!! The NEVER happens! I think that she is getting excited about going back to school soon!

**If anyone knows where I can find children's Converse Chuck Taylors for a GOOD deal PLLLLEASE let me know! Those are the only shoes that Kira likes to wear at school, and she decided that she needs a brown pair, black pair, lime green pair, and a fun printed pair!

UPDATE: I took Kira to the doctor to day to find out why she sounded like a 3 pack a day smoker. She has some slight lower lobe pneumonia (Dr. says its nothing to be to concerned about) so she started her on a z-pack, but the GOOD news is...KIRA NOW WEIGHS 65 POUNDS! She has been so small for so long. Dr. Talley said that she is in the right height and weight range. GO KIRA!
