4th of July Weekend 2009
McCarty Family Reunion 2009
Easter 2009
Here are the pictures from our trip to the farm from this weekend. We saw horses and cows (which I don’t have pics of unfortunately) and chickens. We played on the trampoline, in the flower bed, and went fishing. We dyed eggs and had all sorts of fun at Granny and Papa’s House. I’ll update [...]

Thank You Everyone!!!
I just wanted to post a great big “thank you” to all our friends and family who not only gave Jason and I some great gifts, but spoiled our kiddo rotten! Since having him, I feel like I’m actually happier seeing him get his gifts than worrying about what I get myself. So [...]

My Christmas Q&A
01. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Wrapping paper wherever possible! I actually like wrapping presents. I crisp corners and fold over the edges to make them all pretty… not that anybody notices, but I feel like I’m doing a good deed by making them pretty. Besides, who’s tree are they sitting under for most of December?! [...]

Church Fall Festival
Just a few pics to post from our trip to the church’s fall festival tonight. We didn’t go REAL trick or treating, this year, because Jason had class and I didn’t feel comfortable taking him by myself to wander around door to door.

Pumpkin Carving
With a busy schedule this coming week, we decided to just go ahead and carve our pumpkin on Sunday night, which is earlier than I’d like to, but we’re busy on Tuesday night, and Jason has school on Monday and Wednesday night, so that’d just leave Thursday, and what’s the point of having it carved [...]

Eat Some Trash!
It would be a CRIME if we didn’t have trash to eat this time of year! So now we do! What? Trash? Eating Trash you say? Yes, I know, most people call it chex mix or what have you, but in our family, we call it Texas Trash. I have a recipe card in the book [...]
