Vacation Time always goes by too fast




Last week I was on vacation and it was by far the fastest week ever. I went to my parents house on Monday to make cookie dough with my dad. I am so glad I finally get the family recipe and can share this with Ashleigh and Jonathon. Monday and Tuesday I spent baking with the kids and we enjoyed our special time. Even Jonathon was not too busy for mom. :)
Wednesday Lee Roy and I went to pick up Ashleigh's Christmas gift in Ennis Texas. We are proud to announce the newest member of our family... Jackson Pete Russell.. our new PUG.


Thursday I took that as a me day.
Friday Lee Roy was also off from work and we spent the day together. Friday was also my mom's graduation day from Dallas Baptist University. We are so proud of her!!



Saturday we went to visit Aunt Stephanie(kyle's aunt; papa's sister). We brought cookies that we baked to brighten her day.. she just had surgery.

Saturday night we watched the DALLAS COWBOYS WHOOP UP on the NO Saints.. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! I LOVE MY BOYS!

Monday it was back to work for me.. can't say the same for Nick Folk( now X kicker for the cowboys)

Love and blessings

Vacation time is in the air ~<3~

So today at 4 I will be on vacation until 12/21. Then I return to work Monday- Thursday that week, then I will be on vacation again until Jan 2010!!! This weekend the kids will be with their dad so the plan is to help my mom with decorations at her house since Dad can't and she has been busy wrapping up her school work. YAY for my mom she graduates 12/18 from DBU.. she is truly my hero. The other thing we have planned is making cookies. Not just any cookie.. traditional mexican ojarascas...mmm YUMMO! We do not give out the recipe so don't ask! ;)

Lee Roy has to work all weekend with the Cowboys' game being here Sunday...GO COWBOYS!!

Anyway it has been a strange week and I hope to use this vacation time to relax and not worry about much! I need some me time and REALLY need some daughter/mommy time. We have not spent much time together since my mom has been in school but that WILL all change! Maybe we will shop a little too ;).
