Are you ready for this??

I have so much to tell, I hope I can get it out before my fingers fall off! We spent last weekend in Kansas. It was wonderful!! I can't wait to move back home! On Friday we did all of our errands, and we were able to be lazy Saturday and Sunday. Sort of. We were lazy on Saturday. Sunday we drove to Abilene where my mom and sister live and hung out with them. It was HOT, but great.
My sister is dating(and plans on marrying) this guy who already has a daughter. So the little beauty below is about to become my newest niece! Her name is Elizabeth and she is so sweet. She took right to me, which I think bothered my mom. She kept saying, " She didn't attach herself to me that quick" Buy the time we left she was calling my belling button cousin! Too Cute!!
This is my littlest sister Tiffany. She is having this baby on Tuesday if he doesn't come on his own before then!!! My first nephew!! Last I knew his name is going to be Cody Nathaniel.
This is Jonathan and Savannah with Me-ma and Pop-Pop. Yup, Jonathan got a haircut.
We also went by the cemetery and visited my sister and my grannie's grave. My sister died when she was an infant, so there was plenty of room to place my grandmothers ashes there when she passed away.

On Monday we drove back to Texas. It was a little weird coming home and not have the crazies here. We are slowly getting used to it though. Tomorrow we are going to pack up their room. About half will get thrown out or given away. Then slowly we'll pack the house and put it in their room until we load up the truck.

This week I found out my annual raise amount. Are you ready for this? .14 an hour! yes, you read that correctly fourteen cents an hour! If I wasn't leaving in 28 work days I'd be furious. I got the whole, the company is in bad shape, not everyone is getting raises, you should feel luckily spew. Whatever, I'd rather have gotten nothing!! So happy I'm leaving there!! I have serious shortimers and pretty much don't care about much of anything that is work related.

Wednesday night Jason's mom called and asked if she could have the kids for a visit..starting SATURDAY(today!). Um, hell no! How frickin rude! They are comfortably ensconced in Kansas and she wants to fly them to PA in 3 days? Not mention all the things they already have planned? Not to mention I asked 6 months ago if she wanted them this summer and she said NO. Jason and I were dumbfounded at the rudeness and selfishness if it all. They've been in Kansas less than a week! AGH. I think she was upset and surprised when Jason told her no. He told her they could come the end of July, but she hasn't called back to get exact dates. I think she just wanted him to say say how high, when she said jump. She still has yet to acknowledge the new baby. She told Jason she was upset she had to find out on the blog(when she was not talking to us!) Um, if it wasn't for this blog she'd know nothing. Hence the fact that it's locked. If she's going to complain about what she reads, then she won't read. No more Hallock Family Updates for her!

We have been pretty lazy this week. We come home from work and hop into bed! I mean that literally. We lay in bed and watch TV all night. We have started re-watching the Veronica Mars seasons. We are at the end of season one. I love Veronica Mars. I still upset when I think about them canceling it..sniffle..

Today we went shopping! We did our baby registry at Target and Babies R' Us. So much fun!! Jason had a blast with the scan gun. We bought a froggie outfit. I couldn't help it. I have already had 2 children and Babies R'Us was overwhelming. I can't believe it doesn't send new mothers in shock!! They had alot of the stuff for our theme which made me soooo happy. The wall shelf is on clearance for 6.90, so if anyone is going to be in Hulen area soon, let me know!! I'll pay you back if you pick it up for me!! It's normally like 24.99!! After that we went to Motherhood in the mall. I spent way more than I intended. It was Jason's fault. He MADE me buy these $50 jeans. I have never even spent $50 on NON pregnant jeans. But me oh my, they are so comfy. I will wear them from now until I deliver, and maybe even after. I didn't want to get them, but I'm so happy I did. Plus, since Jason insisted I don't have to feel guilty!! I bought 6 tops and 2 bottoms. I bought a SUPER cute black, cream, and silver top. Kinda dressy, but so cute and on sale. I need a girls dinner out to wear it too! I'll be honest, I LOVED strapping on that fake belly to try clothes on with. I can't wait until I get bigger and this baby is moving more! I love being pregnant(the throwing up does suck though)

Tomorrow we are packing the kids room, working on Jason's resume, going grocery shopping, and scrappin(I am, he's not). So it will be a full day!! I think that about has you caught up on our neck of the woods!! If you have any questions let me know!! Love ya all!

WOW you did have a lot going on as well. Nice to see I'm not the only one whose in-laws drive them crazy sometimes. That had be so awesome doing maternity clothes shopping. We registered at Babies'r'us a while ago mainly just to have it as a "checklist". High hopes. Well, sorry you are so sick, but as long as you are still happy!

Sounds like you are totally enjoying your child-free days (and nights)! Use your time wisely, though, it'll be gone before you know it!

I feel like I'm on information overload! hehe. I'm glad you are enjoying your time. Honestly I cannot imagine what life would be like without the kiddos running around. HUGS!

glad you guys are taking this time to yourselves to enjoy!! :) Sounds like you are having the best time!

Sorry about the in-laws... I hate family drama.

Shannon Ivy said...

Yeah, thought a sister-in-law would be a great opportunity for a friendship... but I want to shoot her half the time. I don't know. I can't wait for the kids part!

My family is usually the one driving me crazy, not my in-laws, but I know the feeling. I am very envious of the kid-free time. It would be nice for us to have a kid-free time..even just a few days. I think maybe 2 weeks our entire marriage we have been kid-free and that was not all at one time. Have fun!
