Update!

Well, an update has been requested by the blogstalker! I haven't posted because there isn't much to post about! Don't get to thinkin we haven't been busy, I just figure you don't want to here about soccer scores, team dinners, grad classes along with remodeling talk....but if you insist ~ here goes!!!

The lady eagles are 10 and 1! I am so proud of them and the coach!!! They are doing awesome! They went to a tourny in Stepenville (with the aliens) and took first place! We ended up losing one of our starters to a blown out knee, but other than that the weekend was great! I got to hang out with my cousin who goes to Tarleton and baby shop (at the few stores that are there) in between games! We never play anywhere that you can get right up next to the field, but that weekend you could....and I was so mad I didn't take my good camera that zooms far away, cause I could've gotten some really great pics!!! I guess I'll know next year!
The house is coming along....we hope to be done by the end of March so we can have a couple of weeks to relax before our little man gets here! When we aren't at a team dinner or soccer game we are at home slaving away....ok Brent is slaving away, and I am just helping here and there! I really can't take credit for all the work! He has been awesome! I will post before and after pics soon! We are going to paint the nursery this weekend...the furniture and fabric have been ordered! The plus is all the boxes are out of his room, so we can actually do something to it!!!
So I know it wasn't exciting & there wasn't many pics, but there is an update to satisfy~ for now!

We had a wonderful Christmas break! There wasn't much relaxing, but it was nice to be able to get more boxes unpacked and things put into place! We loved spending time with family and friends! We started out with a trip to Ft. Worth to spend Christmas with my grandparents, cousins, aunt and uncle. We always have so much fun with this group....my face hurt from laughing and smiling when we left. Those of you that know my Mamie know that she keeps everyone on there toes! They had a new puppy this year, so Cocoa had to be in the family picture!
Next was Christmas with our families. Since both of us are from A-town Christmas day can be pretty crazy. It all starts on Christmas Eve with FBC service with B's family. We then went home and had our Christmas together after midnight service. The girls loved their gifts!










It was so nice being able to have Christmas in our own house this year....not that the lakehouse wasn't a home away from home....it was just nice getting to be "home."
Then Christmas day was a whirlwind rush of going from house to house eating and opening gifts.....then eating more and opening gifts!!!! We started off first thing at my parent's house with gifts and Christmas breakfast!!!! It was fun to add another girl to the fam this year!
Yes, as you can tell T.J can't be normal in a picture!!! Believe it or not this was the best one.... somehow he is doing something is all of them!!! In one he is holding up a rake that my dad got for Christmas!!!
Then off to B's parents for gifts. The best part is watching the kiddos! I love the pure excitement!







Then off to my grandparents for more!!! Somehow this was the only shot I got over there! My uncle takes great pics, so I just left the picture taking up to him.Christmas night B and I dropped dead in our beds! It was fun, but always tiring!!!! Our favorite Christmas gift this year is Mr. Caden Thomas! (Even though most of you know the name I don't think I have officially posted the name so.. there ya go!) We are so thankful for him and he isn't even here yet!

My favorite ornament this year! We have a little tradition of getting each other an ornament every year. Here is Caden's first!
We enjoyed the rest of our break. It was mainly filled with house stuff! We are getting slowly settled in. I don't have many boxes left and the kitchen is finally useable! We got lots of stuff marked off the getting ready for baby list! We made two different trips to Ft. Worth to do some touch ups on our house there, and managed to shop for baby stuff and see some friends!
(Let me clarify!!!! Ally is NOT pregnant....we took a pic like this when she was prego so we wanted to duplicate while I was prego!)
Hope everyone enjoyed your holiday! For us, it is on to soccer!!!!
