Saying goodbye to Alyssa's house :(

Day 52 - Sunday, February 21

We spent the afternoon snuggling and watching movies. Alyssa looked up at me and said "mom, when I am 50 and you are 80 we will still be doing this!"
I said "yep, only reversed!!!"

Day 51 - Saturday, February 20

One of my best friends, April, and her daughter, Amber, drove up from San Angelo to spend the day with us. April and I have know each other for 20 years. We had so much fun!

One of the things we did was attend Sing Song at ACU. This is a tradition that has gone on for 54 years at the school and it was AMAZING!! These kids put so much work into the show!

Day 50 - Friday, February 19

At chapel with Alyssa.
Go here to hear a bit of the worship music...so great.

So happy to see her!

It's Wednesday night....that means the youth at our house.
Steve and I were relegated to our bedroom, so we sat and watched the Amazing Race episode we missed on Sunday!

Day 47 - Tuesday, February 16

Each month, a group of parents comes up with a treat to put in our senior's lockers at school. February was my month, with 4 other moms. We made these cute bags full of goodies and stuffed 107 lockers today!!!!

Day 46 - Monday, February 15

Spent the day touring JBU.
Jason's audition for Worship Ministry major went well and we both were very impressed with the school! We shall see!

Home alone tonight watching the first night of the Olympics.
boys are still gone and Jason is at work,
but I had a great afternoon in Conway with my BFF!

Day 43 - Friday, February 12

Jason and his girlfriend, Lauren, made dinner for me tonight!
stuffed bell peppers.
Loved the food and especially loved the company!!

Day 42 - Thursday, February 11

I received my butter bell from Mike at Klaytivity!!!
and I love it!! the color is beautiful!

I first heard Rita at meemaw moments talk about her husband making these. they keep the butter at the perfect spreading temperature and then keep it fresh by a airtight water seal in the base. My trick will be remembering to change the water every 3 days!!

Day 41 - Wednesday, February 10

Jason and I went out to get him some new glasses tonight...
..he lost his, but that is another story.

then we went out to dinner.
Can you guess where we ate?

Day 40 - Tuesday, February 9

Ok, I must admit this is beautiful with the blue sky backdrop!

However, what you don't see is the thick layer of ice on the road due to it raining yesterday evening and then freezing over night. We ended up getting 7.5" of snow...a record. We normally average 5" for the entire winter.

Now I am hoping that sun will melt the ice a a bit (even though it is going to be below freezing all day) so that my husband and son can get to the airport for their trip! They are leaving for AZ for Jared's 16th birthday trip.

Day 39 - Monday, February 8

We woke up to an unpredicted and record breaking snow fall today.

So Jason decided to make us all waffles...
....please note how many bowls he has used!
But they were awesome AND he cleaned it all up!
LOVE it!

Day 38 - Sunday, February 7

I realized I hadn't take a foot shot in a while..ha! And since I have been challenged to not take a "food" picture for a week (thx Esthermay) , I can't show you all the great food I made for the super bowl party last night...your loss! So I got some of my friends to prop up their feet for a picture, because the best part of last night was spending time with my friends! And then the Saints won!!

Day 37 - Saturday, February 6

Tonight was the winter formal for my boys.
I hosted the dinner for Jared's friends..
...can you tell they are tired of pictures?!!!

...but they were impressed with my molded butter!!!

Day 36 - Friday, February 5

Lily and I are having a girls night!

Jason is at homecoming and then playing at the concert after.
Jared and Steve are on their way to Jonesboro for Jared's all-state tryout tomorrow.

Day 35 - Thursday, February 4

NTunes concert tonight
Several months ago the school had tryouts and put together a band and several singers. They have been practicing like crazy and let me tell you it paid off!!
They were GREAT!
This is Jason playing the banjo.

Day 34 - Wednesday, February 3

Today was crazy busy and I don't feel well...
...so it's pizza for dinner!

Day 33 - Tuesday, February 2

The Dharma cake my friend made for her LOST party!!!

Day 32 - Monday, February 1

I wore this necklace today and got so many compliments. the cool thing about it is that I bought this when I was in 7th grade. I worked all summer making macrame plant holders to earn enough to buy it!

Day 31 - Sunday, January 31

Steve and I were invited to join one of our church's Life Groups for lunch after church. The weather is somewhat better, but it was obvious that the restaurant was short staffed. Our poor waitress was working her tail off!!
