Weather Day

Today is a weather day! Freezing temperatures and rain. So, we were able to miss school. We stayed at home in the warmth of our home.

I started this blog on the weather day we had. It is now Friday, Jan. 19th. Yes, it has been 10 days since my last blog...

This is what we have been up to. The weekend of the 5th, we painted Brent's new office. Brent, Cullen and myself attempted this. Before we ever began, I made the statement,"This will be fun." I'm not sure what I was thinking at that point. Brent had to complete it himself after 8 hours of chasing Cullen through paint and other things. When we left, it still had blue paint tape on many surfaces and was wet. I haven't been able to see the finished product, but Brent says it looks good.

Not much happened during the week.

Last weekend, we went house hunting. We had decided it was time to buy. We found a house that we like, but it is to far away from Brent's work. We keep going back and forth. Is it time or isn't it... Only time will tell.

This week, we have been very cold. Sleet and freezing temps. What is going on around here? I did get a day off and so did Brent, just not the same days. Odd, I must say...
We have been able to use our fireplace alot. Thanks PawPaw for the firewood. We are enjoying it.

Cullen has new favorite breakfast. It is chicken from Chick-fil-a... Smart boy!

This was a very random blog, but you know what what is going on.

The New Year

I started a blog for the New Year and decided to change it because I was typing in a time of stress. I had just spent New Year's Eve Day in the mall with Brent and Cullen. I believe we were all stressed when we left.

Our world has changed drastically over this past year. We moved, new career paths, new jobs, new house, etc. It has been a world wind, but it has been well worth the ride. We are now on our way to establishing our future. I realize things will change again, but for awhile we are cruising and not racing.

I hope everyone has had a great transition into the New Year and that your 2007 will be filled with love, happiness, and good fortune.

We are very blessed, and I wish all of you wonderful blessings for the New Year...

Christmas Time

Our Christmas was very nice. PawPaw and GiGi came to visit with us. PawPaw stayed with us. Cullen enjoyed every minute of it, the lights, Santa, and presents. He started getting sick on Christmas Eve, and Brent picked it up on Christmas Day.

Brent has been in the bed since Tuesday afternoon with the flu. Cullen's didn't last that long. We have been taking care of Dr. Daddy this week. Maybe Dr. Feelgood from St. Louis can pay us a visit...

Funny:
I started taking down the decorations, and Cullen asked me why? I explained to him that Christmas is over, and we put all the things away until next year. Santa will come again then, also.

Cullen asked: Do you put my presents away, too?

Christmas Eve

Santa just left our house. Cullen was sure he would stop here first, so Alabama, Florida, Missouri, Illinois, New Mexico, etc. get to sleep quick. Santa is on his way!

By the way, if it were up to Cullen everyone would have gotten a dinosaur for Christmas this year.

Merry Christmas!

THE NEW JOB

CONGRATULATIONS!

Brent is now a professor in the Health and Kinesiology Department at Sam Houston State University! He went in and showed them what he had to offer, and they loved him. Brent is tenure track and ready to start after Christmas.

He has waitied a long time for this, and it is here. Cullen and I are very proud of all of his hard work!

We Love You ,

Daddy a.k.a. Brent

Songs of the Season

Cullen loves Christmas songs. Deck the Halls seems to be his favorite. He calls it the La La Song, and we listen to it over and over in the truck. Of course, he is just learning all of these songs and has his own version to quite a few of them. Here are some of them:

Up On A Housetop
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t no! Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t no! Up on the housetop lank, lank, lank Down to the chimney with Old Saint Gank

Joy To The World
Jolly to the world. The Lord has come. Let her resee the hing.

Frosty the Snowman
Frosty the Snowman has a jolly happy hole with a corn cob hype and a belly button nose and two mys made out of hole.

He does good with Rudolph and Jingle Bells. If any new versions come up, I'll be sure to let everyone know. After reading cullen's version, the priginals may not come to you. Click this for the originals.

This Morning

Cullen woke up at 5:15 a.m. this morning. I was getting dressed, and he was watching T.V. I finished getting dressed and walked into the living room.

"Cullen, what is going on?"

"I am sitting on the couch, watching Maisy, and picking boogers from my nose."

"Cullen, you should use a tissue for that."

"No thank you, I have my finger."
