Christmas Is In The Air!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week with all of our family! Morgan got to play with her boys (Garett, Collin, Blake, & Gage) and loved it! We took pictures of all of the Fury grand kids and they turned out great. For so long it was just boys, now the girls are finally catching up.



Riley has started "looking" for us. It is so cute to be in a different room and hear her call out Momma, Daddee. She is also starting to like baby dolls and it is so cute to watch her copy what Morgan is doing, I guess today after work I am going to go buy another baby stroller because one is no longer enough for our house.

It is finally Christmas time at our house, last night the girls and I made snickerdoodle bread so the house would smell like Christmas, than we popped popcorn and decorated the tree. Every year I do something different with our tree, I can't help it I just always see something pretty and have to copy it. This year our tree is sesame street. I decorated it with character ornaments and than bought some of the figurines at the dollar store. It has sparkly glitter balls in pink and blue. It really turned out pretty good. The girls love it and best of all it is child friendly, I don't have to worry if they decide to take an ornament off and play with it for a while. After all the tree is for them! I put up our little tree this year, and it was perfect for Riley to help decorate. We are ready for Santa to come to town!!

I really wanted to start working out in the mornings again, it just makes my day go better. I have gotten out of the routien and needed something to give me a little jump start. I had told John I wanted a Wii Fitness for Christmas, and as all good husbands do he said do you mind buying it? Do I mind, no. So I decided since I had it in the house I would just wrap the box and go ahead and start using it. I love it!!! I have so much fun. Technology never seems to stop amazing me. Who would have ever guessed I would be working out and playing games at the sametime while I stood in my living room!! Two thumbs up for the Wii!!

A Time To Be Thankful!

It's Thanksgiving time, I always like fall and Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving marks the holiday season and I love it. I love the busy shopping days, I love finding the perfect gift for the special people in my life, I love time with family and friends, I love cool nights and warm clothes. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving this year, John, the girls, and I are going over to John's parents house this year for Thanksgiving. John's 3 sisters and their families and all their grandparents will be there. The Fury's are a large family so it is always fun to get everyone together. I am sad I won't be with mom, dad, or Danielle this year, but we decided to do Thanksgiving with the Fury's and Christmas with the Smith's. I have so much to be thankful for this year, like all years. I am thankful for my family, I am so thankful for my girls who bring such joy to my everyday life. I am thankful that we are all healthy. I am thankful for my wonderful friends. I am thankful for the love of our Father who sent his Son to die for our sins. I am thankful for my hard working husband and for my job so that we can provide for our families needs and wants. I hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Thieves, Elmo, & more

Last Tuesday after getting off work I decided to head to walmart to pick up a few last minute groceries, while I was there some thieve decided to take my purse out of my shopping cart while I unloaded my groceries from my cart to my car, thanks for that. I didn't really notice my purse was gone until I left walmart and went to get my girls something to eat that's when I realized... Morgan was so hungry and I felt so helpless as I tried to find her something in the car to eat and cancel my bank cards all at the same time. Needless to say we got everything taken care of and I spent the rest of last week trying to get my life back, my everything was in that purse...and it was my favorite purse! I don't understand people!!!

My week got a lot better on Wednesday, John and I took the girls to see Sesame Street live and we all had a great time. The girls were so excited to see elmo! When all the characters ran on stage the place went crazy!!! Morgan stood in front of her seat so she could dance, Riley stood on John's lap or my lap so she could see and dance, the people in front of us decided to turn around and watch Riley instread of the show. I can't tell you the excitement on the girls faces!! We had a great time!!




We are all ready for Thanksgiving and have big plans to go to the Fury's house. Morgan is all into making turkey's so I have had to be creative, but we have had fun. Riley could care less about a turkey, she may change her mind after she eats Thanksgiving dinner. Yesterday Morgan decided Riley was done drinking milk so she went over and snatched Riley's cup, Riley was not happy about this so she decided to bite Morgan WHAT...where did she learn to bite! Morgan spent the rest of the day telling us all about how Riley bite me finger right dear. Last night after I put her to bed she calls me into her room and tells me Mom I have a bad cough in the morning call Dr. Couch (the girls Doc), tell him he needs to look in my ear. She was so serious it was so funny, Riley slept through the entire thing. Well this week is shaping up nicely as long as the thieves stay away we should have a great week. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Sesame Street Live!!

Ok so we are headed to Amarillo tomorrow so Morgan and Riley can see Elmo!!! I am sure they will be so excited to see everyone actually! I just hope they don’t get scared and run the other direction! I had to work the night clinic last night, something I rarely do, so the girls got to stay the night with mom and dad. I know they had a great time. Mom always gives them a little snack of cookies and milk before bed…this is not a routine practiced at our house Morgan was so excited yesterday because today is Grumpies birthday so they got to make a cake and she sang Happy Birthday to him about 2 million times and woke up singing it again today… I wonder what she will be singing tomorrow now that Grumpies birthday is almost over?

A blog really?

Ok, so I never saw myself as a person with a blog, but that seems to be the thing to do these days and I don’t want to be left behind!! Ok so really my friend was telling me about her blog which I love to read because it is so funny and I am glad I am not the only person whose life is crazy and silly and fun…but my real motivation for starting this blog-I want to remember all of this crazy silly fun and share it with my girls when they get older…and so I can take a trip down memory lane and remember those things in my life that didn’t change my life but were part of who I am! Ok so if you are reading this you probably know all about me and my family but just in case here we go (plus don’t all blogs start out with an “about me” paragraph) I was born in Clovis NM and I still reside in Clovis NM…I moved to Lubbock Texas for a few great years of fun. My husband’s job brought us back to Clovis and that is where we will always call home and the place we hope to raise our family. Speaking of my husband and family I have been married to John, for the past 5 years We have two beautiful girls Morgan who is 2 and Riley who is 1. Morgan is so full of energy and life. She is into “helping” right now which is so much fun because I can always use a little help. She amazes me everyday. She is such a little chatter box and I am always surprised at what she says…where does she learn this stuff. Right now one of her favorite things to do is tell me wait your turn momma wait your turn whenever we stop at a stop light or stop sign. Than when I start to go again she says go momma go!!! For the past few months she has also been an excellent bathroom cheerleader. No one in our family can use the restroom without her in there saying good girl momma or my favorite…good girl daddy! And in public restrooms you better be careful because she will announce to anyone who will listen good girl momma you teeteed in the potty. I have heard snickers from more than 1 stall before! Riley or riley-poo as Morgan calls her is the sweetest baby you will ever meet. Whenever you pick her up she just melts in your arms. She loves kisses and putting her head on your shoulder. She is so sweet and always happy. Don’t let me mislead you, she can scream with the best of them if she wants you to know something but that is only once in a while. Right now she is all about her yellow blanket and elmo, elmo, elmo. She to is going to be a chatter box like her sister and already can say so many words. Her favorite work gulk (milk)! Ok, so enough about me tell me a little about you. Hope you enjoy my blog!
