Off they go!....

For most children today was the 1st Day of School! My boys attend Dr. Cash Elem. in San Benito. This is the first year that both of my older boys attend the same school. I was super excited for them. Aaron is a 1st grader and Alec is in Pre-K. I thought it was super cute when Alec gave Aaron a kiss goodbye! Boy does Aaron think he's a big boy ~ he knows the ropes, hee...hee... He was showing Alec where his class and cafeteria were. Of course being a mom I had to take pics :D

Home sweet home!....

Thanks to the Lord above, we just completed 5 years with our little home! I love the nest we created for our 3 little chicks. They say the average American would have owned at least 2 houses in their life time. I guess this is it for us!.... We are very blessed to be in our seconded home. When Ariel and I got married his parents gave us a little bitty one bedroom one bath home. But as our family grew we needed space too. So we torn down our wooden frame home and built a brick home. My sisters always tell me that my house puts them to sleep, its very cosy! We seem to think so too! There are soooo many little home improvements that I want to do but the only thing I'm missing is the mula! One day, I keep telling myself... hee... hee... Hmmmm.... let's see, I WANT: put granite kitchen counter tops, outdoor tile, a pretty roof over my patio, repaint my living room, tile in all bedrooms, in close the garage to make my living area bigger, remove my garden tub to be able to extend my stand up shower in my bedroom, remove my mirrors in the bathrooms and put a pretty framed mirror instead, put pedestal sinks in the bathrooms.....the list goes on and on.... A girl can wish right... :-D

Mother nature....

Here I thought we escaped with only two shingles missing, boy was I wrong :-( We finally had a chance to go on the roof and check out what mother nature did. Well not me, Ariel finally had time, you know with his crazy work schedule and stuff. Anyways, he went on the roof to count how many shingles we needed to buy. And to our surprise there was more damage than we had thought. I called in and filed a claim with our insurance company. I hope and pray that they will help us. What Ariel could see he says that we should have had water come in through attic. No water stains have showed on the ceilings or walls yet from what we can see. Please pray for us that we have a little help from our insurance company. Another little obstacle that is given to us!
