Weekend Wrap..

This past week-end was a busy one....  On Friday,  We Kent put in a much needed french drain in our flower bed --had a problem with rain water seeping into garage (it was a builder flaw).  Needless to say, it's done!  It's been on the project list for over a year, while he was at it--he added a sprinkler head to the front yard--we had a dead spot last year where water was not reaching it.

Saturday, he finished up the drain, with Baylie's help--that kid is always such a big help.  Since, I'm down in my back, I stayed in and cleaned and caught up on spme spray paint projects....  Lol  Later on that evening, with a couple's help that we just met that runs a thrift/really cool store we totally rearranged the house and we LOVE it..  It was the craziest thing ever, they came over to give me some advice/tips on possible painting our bedroom furniture--which by the way--Julie totally vetoed! Ha  Within an hour or so she had helped me with 3 different rooms--major transformation.  It was too fun!  Afterwards, we ended up meeting them for dinner and the best part they are super cool and plan to meet up again soon!

By Sunday, we were exhausted, but had a few things that still needed to be done and our oldest son's b-day was Sunday.  So, we cooked a big steak dinner for him.  He's 25,  and like his Dad in so many ways...  He's so laid back, really atheltic, but very competitive...  He's a great guy--on the journey of figuring ths thing out tht we call 'life'.  He has a great personality and we love spending time with him!

Weekend Plans

Friday- Joe is coming over to cook crab legs and happy hour... Just recently discovered that I like crab legs this past summer! Joe is showing off his leg... Lol

Saturday- Kent's cooking breakfast (my fav meal) for me and Baylie, then just working on a few projects around the house
Cooking Chinese food and staying home later that night.

Sunday- church and then going to register at a bone marrow drive that is being held for a friend of one of my coworkers.. Then headed to a Super Bowl party at US Pizza in Conway...

Date Night w Chop Sticks...

Last night we had some time to kill before dinner... So made a quick stop at yarn mart-- i had messed up and needed them to help me back out some stitches and get me going again.. After that we walked next door to a little wine bar and had a glass of wine.. Really neat place called By the Glass.. Afterwards we walked down and tried a new Sushi place in a quaint part of town.. Called Sushi Cafe.. It was so good--best Sushi we've had! It was fun, then on way home we stopped to see if the 'Hot Sign' was on... And well it was... Another great date night...

Unfortunately, we have to work today, since we took of w Marlye on Monday.. But so thankful to report that she is much better.. She's been on antibiotics all week... She's such a sweet girl and we love her...

So glad it's Friday.. Even if we do have to work...

After work, stopping to get stuff to make pizzas and then it's game on for Scrabble tonight.... I'm 1-0..

Such a fun Saturday....

Me, Kent, and my little man Baylie met some friends at Cracker Barrel in Conway for breakfast and then went to the Antique Alley show they were having... Got a few things.... Had a great time and then ran around to a few shops before we ate lunch at JJ's--cool little place downtown! Went to a really cool consignment shop called Hut 8... Got 3 cute summer tops for like $15!!

Friday Night...

We're having a friday night at the house.... Cooking Lasagna Soup... And playing scrabble with Baylie... Got a nice fire going...

Tomorrow, we are going to Cracker Barrel for breakfast and then to the Antique Alley show in Conway...

It's here all ready.... Where do the week-end's go??

So, tonight I have my first knitting class at this cool little shop in the Heights 'Yarn Mart'--Kent bought me my first needles and some yard on my b-day while we were out... I've always wanted to knit a scarf--so we'll see... My two fav boys will be having left over white chicken chili from last night and I had also made some "beer bread" in my bread maker..  It was so yummy, **will post recipe later**

Tuesday.. Me and Kent are going to happy hour after work any maybe Sushi--we want to discuss our Spring Break and Summer plans... For some reason, we don't get as distracted if we go somewhere... plus it's nice to wind down a bit after work... and spend time just the two of us...That's when we solve all the world's problem's as we like to say....Lol

Wednesday.. I'm filling in for a Bunko party that some of my co-workers are having from an area that I use to work in--sh be fun catching up as I'm in a diff building than them now--so don't see them often.. I've only played once--so it's all new to me...

Thursday.... Well, who knows.... That's usually our date night since we're off on Friday's--but since we're going out Tuesday-we will probably just have a night at the casa relaxing as Kent is getting up early to go Duck Hunting on Friday.

Weekend's Almost over...

So, Sat I spent some time Valentining the house a bit--nothing over the top just a few things. I did decorate the mantle... But pops of red and hearts make me happy.... I also made this wreath last week... Very simple got the burlap idea from www.ouroklahomanest.com. I already had the wreath--Burlap from Hobby Lobby and the heart wreath hanging inside at the Dollar Spot at Target.

Last night, me, Kent, and Baylie made Flat Bread Pizzas and watched Money Ball on a pallet in front of the fire place. They were yummy and easy...

This morning Kent fixed us Belgium waffles w our new maker that we got after Christmas. So good... He always makes breakfast for us at least once a weekend! It's my favorite!

Kent's off to golf so it's just me and Bay till this afternoon. So, I will prob clean a bit, get a Sonic drink w Baylie and maybe go check out some Legos. Then get caught up for the week and work on 'my room' craft/girl room. We've been in this house for 2 years and the 'office/whatever room' has served zero purpose! So, I'm thinking about claiming it!

Then I plan on making white chicken chili for dinner tonight.... And maybe going for a run...

It was a good weekend, my little man is out of school tomorrow so he gets an extra day off! Wish I did!

Thursday is our Friday....

Since me and Kent are off on Friday's (we work 4 10 hr days), our week-end starts on Thursday which is our 'date nite'.  So, last night, we went to Saddle Creek and shared dinner and an appetizer.  He had a tap beer and I had a glass of wine.  Then, we stopped by TJ Max (looking for pillows--no luck) and then went to see War Horse--  Great movie but some of it was hard for me to watch.  We had a great time!


Friday, we got up and did P90X we are into our second week and then dropped Henry off at Vet to have his little teeth cleaned--so hard to leave him--I don't like the thought of him being put to sleep.  He did great, but had to stay most of the day as he was very groggy afterwards.   We ran a few errands and made a big to us purchase for some new 'Food Network' cookware--wasn't really planned but we got a great deal at Koehl's, got 30% off and they had Koehl's cash going on--so scored $40.  Got some cute Valentine towels for kitchen and Kent a couple of Chaps pull-overs that were on clearance.   Tried a new weight watcher recipe that wasn't that great---it was called Mexican Chicken Casserole.  I sh have known better--I've never been a casserole lover and never make them. Kent liked it ok--but me and Baylie not so much. Lol Oh well...

Off to snuggle in front of Fire Place and watch a little TV  before going to bed....

Cotton Bowl and 20 Years

Go Hogs!!! We play Kansas State at Cowboy Stadium tonight.. We are ranked #7. We are having a few friends and our kids over for a watch party.

Today is my 20 year anniversary for working at my company.. I basically grew up here... Lol. It's a great company and I feel really blessed to be part of it! He surprised me at work with an Edible Fruit arrangement. I've always wanted one, but they're almost too cute to eat... Lol. He's so sweet and thoughtful and I luv him so much!
