What I did or what got done on Christmas break.


The bathroom was kinda a pale purple color.


All primed



All painted with the first coat



Towels with the paint.


With the shower curtain and towels back in place.


I had finals last week and despite not getting to finish my test because of a time crunch with another class and being told I did not pass I PASSED. We have to have a 75 to pass our classes and go on to the next semester. I don't think I've had below an 80 in any of my classes before but working and going to nursing school is apparently not the thing to do so I ended up with a 75.9 in Pharmocology and a 78 in Nursing of the adults, but then again I got a 98 in Basic nursing concepts and I did pass the semester so now I am enjoying a break and cutting down on my hours at work when I start back to school.

So for the next 3 weeks I am off of school and wanted to do a few things around the house that we haven't had time or energy to do since we got married. Jana came up after sp meetings so this was the perfect opportunity to do something. So we decided to paint the bathroom. Well if you give a Jana a thought she will run with it. First we went to Walmart to pick out paint samples. Then we both had to look at them in the bathroom and then take them over to Lynisha's house to look at them again. 2 out of 3 one the color choice. My husband being color blind and me being really color inept, well we didn't really have to much input but when you put our new towels with the paint sample it matched perfect. So then onto Walmart again to get paint and all sorts of other stuff with a few calls to Dad. They have these really neat straight edge and corner brushes that we got as well as some rollers and regular brushes. In the middle of all that we made homemade white chili and went over to Nisha's for lunch. Then we came back and taped the bathroom and Jana started priming while I went to work. Jana with a little help on the ceiling from Floyd got the bathroom primed that afternoon. The next morning Jana came back over and we painted the whole bathroom in about 45 min. Then that evening Floyd painted the second coat, and put everything back in the bathroom. So here are the pictures from the last few days of our bathroom.

Thanksgiving


Sky full of red ballons after the first Husker TD



The martching band spelling out Huskers



Getting ready to start the game.




Before the game started. This was when we got to our seats the first time. We had been in line when the gates opened but had to go back to the car to drop some stuff off that we couldn't take into the stadium.



Sea of red. Walking down the overpass seeing all the people milling about for the first time.





Thanksgiving dinner. Very good. Turkey with dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, yams, and little jellos and Rubarb, strawberry pie for dessert and more waiting for us when we got to Omaha.











Playing my father in law in Othelo

















The little jellos. The one on took looked like a smiley face.

Out of order













We went to Mom and Dad's for Kyrie's birthday party. These are some of the many faces we saw there.

I forgot to take a picture of dinner.

Trey playing cars

Trey getting ready to take pictures.

We had the kids over for the evening on Sat night. When we were at Walmart earlier we decided to get some toys for our house when they came over. We got a dress up trunk for Kyrie and a color tot toy for Trey but forgot the batteries for it so he played cars instead. After lunch on Sunday Kyrie wanted to stay and play so she did. She got a little multi playing in what with dress up and getting to play a board game with uncle Floyd both.

I had Nish and family over but forgot to take a picture of my pretty Longaburger set table. The video is from last week. Kyrie was posing Trey to take pictures while he was trying to take pictures with the camera.

Fall 2008



The pictures of the flowers and butterfly's where taken by Floyd when I was at school. I was really wanting to go take fall pictures and he offered to take my camera and go get some pictures. He came back with a lot of pictures from the park that where really neat.














These are some of the trees around town.






One of my favorite streets







At the college. The trees along the building and the red ones down the parking lot are all crab apple trees but the one by the door is still green while the others along the building are yellow and the ones along the road are red.










I love the different colors of bushes. I am hoping some year to have our front yard like that.






Our crab apple tree. It is not really changing colors.

Pumkins










Floyd has never carved a pumpkin before so Sat we went to the store and got some pumpkins.
So first you pick some pumpkins that you think might be the right size. Then you sit there and figure out what you are going to do next. 1)cut the top off. 2) try to figure out how to get all the pumpkin goo out of the pumpkin with out getting your hands to dirty. Then I have to laugh because I realize he is wearing his don't panic shirt. 3) once you figure all that out carve your pumpkin. 4) find some candle's and matches so you can light your pumpkins. 5) find the best place in the front yard to show them off. I had a great time with this.
