We got a new.....

COMPUTER! Finally! I have been trying to do updates when I get a free moment at work, but lately i haven't had much free time. We finally got us a new computer, a laptop, this past weekend. Now i will be able to write more AND add pictures! Our last computer so was so horrible that i didn't even try to get on it to upload pictures! haha

We have lots of projects going on around the house right now, and as I have heard, it will probably never stop! haha Bring it on...it's FUN! Now we just need to stay home on the weekends so we can get things done.

This coming weekend we are heading up to Mansfield to see the family. Our nephew, Braxton, is turning ONE year old! I cannot believe it. Time flies!!!! My sister in law, Nicole, and I are also going to work on baby shower stuff for our sister in law, Jenna. The baby shower will be here soon!!!! I'm sure we will also pay a visit to "Hoots HonkyTonk" to do some dancing with my mom and dad-in-law. That's ALWAYS a good time! "Holler and Swaller!" haha It should be an overall great family weekend! We always love spending time with our families...they are all awesome!

Not much more to tell. Hopefully I will be able to get some pics up soon of Scott's birthday present, his new BBQ pit, and of course my little man, Braxton after this weekend. Hope everyone is doing just fabulous!

Love to all!
Scott and Kayla

Happy Birthday, Scott!

As I told everyone before, last weekend we had a birthday party/housewarming party for our friends that lived in Houston. We had SOOOO much fun! We got to hang out with lots of people that we don't get to see very often. Eventhough we all live in Houston, we are all on different sides of this big 'ol city. Scott's birthday was on Sunday, but he got his present on Friday. I had arranged for a BBQ pit to be made for Scott for his birthday. He constantly talks about getting one and wanting to have a nice one that is built to his liking. Well, with the help of AJ, my dad, and AJ's uncle...we were able to pull it off!!!!!!!!!!

Friday night my family, us, and the Cook's were having dinner. AJ was in town (with the BBQ) and was going to meet us for dinner. We were eating on the outside patio at a Willie's Icehouse when AJ pulls into the parking lot, BBQ pit on a trailer behind his truck. Right as he drove in front of the patio where we were sitting, i looked at Scott and said, "Happy Birthday, hunny." He turned, looked, and his jaw dropped! That boy ate his dinner faster than I have ever seen...he wanted to go look! He LOVES his new toy!!!!
Since he got the pit on Friday, he was able to prepare and get it ready to use on Saturday for our friends and family. He REALLY enjoyed cooking on it, and everyone REALLY enjoyed eating what he had cooked! :)

I'm so happy that we were able to pull it off and it be a surprise. I love making surprising him and making him happy!

So besides all that fun stuff, I got to hang out with my bestest friend in the whole wide world! Linz and I got to go look at stuff for her baby's room. We got to plan and talk about colors and all that good stuff. Jaxon is one lucky little man! I cannot wait for him to be here so I can meet him! I love him already!!!! :)

We have a relaxing weekend ahead of us, and I am super excited. We will get to hang out with each other, and probably work on stuff around the house. I'm ready to get our garden started! :)

Thanks to all who spent Scott's birthday with us. You guys are awesome and we love you all very much!!! See ya'll next time!

The Big Weekend

Labor day weekend is here! I am so excited to have a long weekend. I came into work for about 3 hours then I have off until Tuesday. WOO HOO! Our families are coming into town this weekend and so are some of our best friends. Scott's bday is on Sunday so we thought it would be a good time to have some friends/family over to celebrate with him and see the house. The house isn't completely in order yet but that's ok. That is just too long of a process to wait to have visitors!

I got Scott THE best birthday present EVER! I am so excited to give it to him. I've been planning this gift for a very long time...hard to believe that the time has finally come. :) I will let you know what the gift is and how he liked it after he gets it! (just in case he checks the blog)

My best friend, Lindsay, is coming up tonight also. I haven't seen her since our wedding. I miss her sooooo much! I get to help her plan her upcoming baby shower and nursery decorations for Baby Jaxon! He will be here in January and I cannot wait! I just love babies! I know her and Jason are going to be amazing parents! (and i will be a fabulous Aunt! heehee)

I just feel so blessed to have such great family and friends. It really is amazing how God takes care of us all, huh?

That's all for now. I will update everyone on how the weekend went later!
Have a fun and safe Labor day weekend!!!!!
