Finally! A BREAK

As most of you know I have officially started my Thanksgiving break, Yeah! I know, I know, I was just off for two weeks with IKE but that was WAY different. This much needed break will give me time to recharge my battery which is running low. Julian has two more days of school and then he is off for the rest of the week. I had to tease him this morning because I am off and he still has to go to school. I know MEAN MEAN step-mom! Oh well, I thought it was funny!

We are looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with the family, and just relaxing for a while. Minh and Vi-An will come stay with us for a couple of days and I am sure TJ will take them to do something on Friday while I shop. Vi-An has already put her request in for paintball, we will have to see about that!

We had visitors this summer!

First TJ's brother and sister (Minh and Vi-An) stayed with us for a week. This was the second year we did this. Last summer when they came we were having major work done in our house because of a water leak and they were pretty much confined to upstairs. We did not get out very much except for one day of Schlitterbahn. This year No major house issues going on so they were able to have much more fun. Vi-An and I got to shop, TJ took them to tubing and to play paintball. I would like to say that their favorite part was tubing and paintball but I think it was getting to sleep in and watching whatever (within limits) they wanted on TV. It was a fun week for all of us.......

Our next guest was my Dad. We had a fun time visiting with him and we even went to an ASTRO's game...... We had Annalise our friends daughter while Dad was visiting and they had a blast playing together. Julian and Dad had fun playing bowling and Tennise on the Wii, even though Julian kicked his BUT!


Fun Fun Times

Okay... Here we go!

Okay...... a couple of my friends have these blog sites now on blogger.com and I love getting their updates and seeing pictures of their families, So I thought what the heck we should have one too. So I started thinking I can't do My Space because it seems too public and creepy and husband says absolutely NOT! So here we are... Well here I am for a while until I can convince Mr. TJ that this will be fun!

I am hoping this will be a way to keep in touch with our friends and family that we don't see that often and then share some fun stuff that may or may not be going on in our lives. I don't know how often we or I will post, we will just have to see how it goes.
