well i have finally figured out how to get the kids videos on here. These are the weather reports they made while we were waiting for Ike to come which it didn't. We were living in Tyler,TX at the time so we decided to have some fun until it was over...so enjoy
eric had to do his over about 3 times to get it the way he wanted it
jordan had a good time with hers she couldn't stop laughing and wanted to keep doing more reports. We had to stop it started raining too hard,,,

this week

Well lets see, Valentines day was nice I am getting a bench w/ hangers above, cabinets and a rod to hang clothes on built in my laundry room hopefully next week. We got the sod put down yesterday and I have been watering alot. I cannot wait to get out there and play football with Eric no more muddy shoes. Our new neighbors are here and they are building their fence tomorrow. so we will decide on the kind we want very soon. I want a short one so we can still talk with our neighbors behind us. Eric is making lots of friends he just found out another one of his friends from class lives in this neighborhood he is spending the night over there tonight. They moved here from Pennsylvania shortly before we did, even got the house I wanted to look at. Eric said he likes ours better so it made it better. Well hopefully soon we will get to go do some things around here. The weather should start to warm up. We want to go to the Museums, Zoo, Aquarium and Hiking. We need to do some 3 day trips too so I have to start working on those.

What a week

Ok so so far February has not been great nor warm and i hear March is the start of tornado season well yippy ky yah bleep bleep bleep...The tornado was just about 6 miles due east of us close enough by the way. We have gone by to see the destruction I didn't take pictures just didn't feel right. But it is so surprising to see what it can do. I lived in Corpus thankfully no hurricane I did evacuate 1 time with Eric but that was it. We were there when we thought Rita would hit but she turned so we had a "No Rita" party. In Tyler we just got wind not too bad there. But here i have to say is a little more scarier for me. I had told the kids that morning they would probably go to the safe room at school but don't worry its really safe and i said mommy will be in the closet protected their dogs. So at 245 the weather radio went off and i headed for the closet w/dogs in tow. I had prepared it earlier that day. I talked to jay but then we lost all phone use and tv so just sit and wait. I was a long 2 hours especially waiting to get the kids i knew they were tired and hungry. Once we were able to pick them up we were relieved. We will be looking at getting a storm shelter but they are backed up now. Our friends behind us are getting one in 2 weeks and said we can go to theres so I am sure I will be taking them up on that one. The weather is cold again but hopefully we will see the sun by MARCH..Here are a few picks of the hail at the house

yea its february

Finally its February we are watching the puppy bowl then the superbowl tonight..GO PITTSBURGH!!!!BOO HEHEHE. Erics cheering for the Cardinals...Well the weather is getting warmer and the kids are starting to feel better. The lady across the street brought us over some Chicken Taco soup, she is really nice. Eric wanted to shovel the ice off the back porch it was a tough job. We met the couple buying the house next door, they are moving from Dallas and wanted to get back to Oklahoma. They have 2 young beagles that our dogs already met. They are planning on putting up a fence as well so we will be working with them on that...I am somewhat getting settled here but I have my days. Jay likes his job and he now comes home at a decent hour and that is great especially at homework time. I forgotten how much i didn't like math in school guess i can re-learn it now...
