What's new?

2011-06-21T08:10:00.000-05:00

So I know it's been sooooo long since I updated my blog. Things have changed alot in our lives in the past year. Here's a quick rundown of the main events:

2010
Feb - Our family is growing. We found out we would be having a baby, due November 7th.
Feb - October - Our lives revolved around getting ready for this new little one. We had been waiting so long. During this "9 months", we learned everything.... um, EVERYTHING about fetal development, what's happening every week, every minute in this growing little sweetheart.
October 25th, We went in for induction because I was having asthma, acid reflux, & coughing. I was ready. Ellie was not. October 26th at 9:30 pm, she was born by C-section.
October 30th, we came home from the hospital and things have been busy ever since. Ellie is getting so big! Surpirse! Babies grow fast!

The long version:

We've been wanting a baby for quite a while. When we decided to start trying to make that happen, it seemed to be taking a long time. I went to a new doctor and told him everything. I had an outpatient surgery to remove scar tissue and open things up so to speak. Six months later, we were pregnant! So approximately a year and a half of trying and God answered our prayers. His timing is perfect. We were so happy! I was one tired pregnant woman.

Here are some pictures of life happening in our world. I'll let them tell the rest of the story. I'm really hoping to keep this updated from here on out.

Happy Fall!

Just wanted to show how my pretty pumpkins turned out. Things are going great! I've been working and doing some projects, basically just staying busy. The latest in our lives is... we bought a new truck. I'll post a pic of it tomorrow or the next day! Happy Halloween!!!

My curtains

I've got curtains! Finally!

4th Picture

2009-05-29T13:56:00.003-05:00

1) Choose the 4th picture folder on your computer
2) Choose the 4th picture in that folder
3) Explain the picture
4) Tag 4 people to do the same

I painted my living room Restful but while I was deciding, I taped the sample to the wall for a couple of days. I took this picture to send to my sisters to get an opinion. Lol. This is my life.

I'm not tagging anyone to do this, so whatever. I'm rebellious like that. :)

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I posted on my poor little blog. I bet it feels neglected. I'm working now and have been very busy. We got another dog... Ruger. He is precious and Percy loves him too. Here they are:

The Christmas Tree

2008-12-08T21:31:00.005-06:00

Today has been so uneventful. I've been doing laundry, dishes, and other housework. I made a crockpot meal today which turned out pretty good, Chicken Stroganoff. It was very simple... chicken, cream of mushroom, sour cream, and onion soup mix. If you go with light and fat free ingredients, it turns out to be pretty healthy, maybe need to add some mushrooms. I served it over noodles but will probably go with brown rice next time around.

We got the tree put up and I finally took some pictures of it. I'm thinking about adding some gold ribbon to it. Here are a couple of pics...

Home Depot Gift Cards

2008-12-06T11:55:00.002-06:00

So I was checking out a couple of blogs and noticed that I could sign up for a chance to win a $100 Home Depot gift card. How wonderful it would be to take my gift card to Home Depot and buy curtains and curtain rods that we've been needing for over a year now.

What would you do with a Home Depot gift card worth $100? Go to One Project Closer to find out how you can get one!

Have a great weekend!

Trip to the nursery

2008-11-24T22:12:00.005-06:00

Ok, so J and I have been wanting to get a couple of shade trees for the yard. Since he's off this week we went on a journey today to find a nursery and buy at least one tree. We found a tulip poplar, which we've been wanting one of because they are supposed to grow quickly and be good shade trees. We paid for it, loaded it up, and headed home. We were very creative about this, here are a few pics...

Update...

2008-11-06T13:53:00.003-06:00

Sorry it took so long. Here is our flower bed after mulching.

Just a Few Updates

2008-10-20T08:49:00.008-05:00

Ok, so it's been quite a while since I've updated my blog. Here are just a few of the things that have been going on...

I went to visit my family and my niece decided to take some pictures. This is one of here artistic shots.

My husband built a shed.

And I made a perfect pan of cornbread. I cut it then decided to take a picture for my page. I was so excited about this. The last couple of times I made cornbread it stuck to the pan and was horrible.

We planted some beautiful plants in the front flower bed. We still need to put down some mulch so I'll post another tomorrow.

The Finished Product

2008-07-23T22:01:00.002-05:00

This is our new backyard. It was complete before 11am. We are so proud of this fence. Percy is too, but the thing he's most proud of is his freedom. Notice how he took advantage of it.

The Fence

2008-07-23T09:35:00.001-05:00

The fence is halfway done. I'll post more pictures when it's finished.

I took this picture of Percy today.

The Weekend and This Week

2008-07-22T23:09:00.001-05:00

Our friend Billy and his aunt, Gloria, came to visit Saturday. We went to the flea market, where I found a purse and a jar of honey. Look out Pooh Bear! It was lots of fun. We also went to see The Dark Knight. Yes, I recommend this movie.

Sunday was church then home. We stopped and got a newspaper for coupons. I'm going to see how much I can cut the grocery bill.

The guys came to start our fence install Monday. This is something we are very excited about. Percy will have his own yard to roam around in without supervision. He'll be a free dog tomorrow afternoon.

So today, Tuesday, my friend Sami and I went shopping. Before we started spending money though, we went to the library. Mobile has a very nice library not far from our house. I got a library card and voter registration form and began to feel like part of the community. I don't get out much. Our next stop was Old Navy then it was Best Buy. After that, we went to the mall where I bought a dress. A dress is the only thing I bought for myself today. Everything else was Jason's. One thing required by the man of the house was a HMDI cable for the XBox 360. I didn't realize that I was up for a challenge when I entered Best Buy but to my surprise, they have like 50 of those cables to choose from, some of which are $100. I looked over by the XBoxes to find the one that fit our needs perfectly and it was half the price of those other ones, called Mr. Mullican to make sure it would work, and checked out.

I'll be waking up too early in the morning for the fence people but it'll be worth it.

Percy

2008-07-18T22:38:00.001-05:00

Well we've had a new addition to the family since the last time I posted. Sorry it's been so long but we've been getting settled and spending time with this pup. His name is Percy and he's an English bulldog who is almost 7 months old. He was eating a popsicle in this picture. I'll post a newer picture of him soon.

Percy and I just got home from a visit with my family in Laurel, MS. He visited both sets of grandparents and had the best time with all of his cousins. I had fun too. I got to spend time with my twin sister and her family, who I haven't seen very much since we live about 200 miles apart. I mostly visited everybody and even went to New Orleans one day. It was a very busy 5 days. We went to Charlie's Catfish and had boiled shrimp with our friend Sara. While Sara and I were waiting on Leslie to meet us, we went to the Dollar General and found some books and pens and stuff. I didn't even know they sold books. I bought one of them for $1! Not sure how good it's going to be but I'll keep you posted. We also went out to eat with my friend Holly and her little girl. I feel fat since I've been home.

We're getting a privacy fence next week so maybe Percy will like to stay outside a little more. Jason has also been working on a storage building for the back yard. He worked on it for most of the day today since he was off work.

Jason and I started watching Prison Break so that's all we've done this evening.

So here's a run down of some things I'm currently doing:
Watching Prison Break Season 2
Reading Almost Dead by Lisa Jackson
Listening to Sermons on Hearing God

Jason and I will be going to the flea market with one of my friends tomorrow. Hopefully we'll all find some cool stuff.

Hello

2008-03-24T14:43:00.001-05:00

Hi, we are Jason and Ashlie. We've been married since August 18, 2007. We went to Disney World for our honeymoon and have been living in AL ever since. Jason works as a System Administrator for Chevron. We bought a house in December and are still trying to get everything in it's place. Getting DSL here has been a nightmare. We ordered our service with AT&T at the end of December and they can't seem to keep the install date. They've given about 8 different dates so far... guess we'll hopefully have it by the end of the year.
