general mills at your service!!!

this is one of the new nicknames that could be sticking to dad as he was hired as the astros manager on tuesday!!!! this is HUGE!!! dad, you are a stud and we couldn't be happier!!! no longer is our favorite team (besides the cleveland indians) the boston red sox, we are officially houston astro people ; )

home sweet home...finally

so sorry for the "non-blogging" lately. we were in arizona where, to be honest, nothing remotely exciting happened. BUT we're home now and i'm sure lots of thrilling things are going to start happening all around me...no, not really but i can hope...i unpacked and have been working on putting up pictures and decorating what i hadn't last time we were home. beau has been watching football and at 5 am this morning, went on his first of MANY hunting adventures with his buddy brian...mom, dad and papa bern left yesterday morning for michigan where they'll be for a week so, i'm takin' care of the girls (packing lunches, laundry, mail/bills, dinners, and other random things that need to be done around the parentals abode). but i am beyond estactic to be home and to see pumpkins and a little fog and my breath in the morning...yeah for being home!!!

back to arizona

first off, i tried and tried to change the color of this post to anything BUT red but it wouldn't do it for me!!! so i made it as big as possible to all you out there can read it...i apologize!...we are back in arizona and have been here for about a week. and we only have a week and half now until we are back in visalia, back in our home for good!!! we're pretty darn excited...this weekend, we went out with steven and shannon wright (she was my big buddy and only other wife in ohio with me). the piano bar found us and we were sucked in for hours-those places are such a good time! i feel very sad for shannon, however, because yesterday morning she had to drop off her husband steven at the airport because he flew to venezuela for a month and a half to play in a league over there. she gets to go see him for their one year anniversary but she'll be missing him badly. i need to make a big effort to keep her busy with coffee and shopping dates ; ) beau and i are missing a family member as well; we left miss sadie lady with grandma and grandpa vannette and i must say, i think she's having a great time with jackson and a backyard. but we miss her cute saggy face and those eyes you just can't say no to...and everyone tune in this thursday and friday and the boston red sox take on the angels in the first round of playoffs..go get 'em dad!!!
