On November 6th my husband turned 32!!! THAT IS OLD!!! Not really, but I like to tease him. We celebrated the big day with his family at Texas Roadhouse....YUM! Then the next Sunday we celebrated my nephew, Jackson's, birthday as well as Ryan's with my family. Jackson's was the 9th and he turned 9! It was his Golden Birthday! We had cake and ice cream and took our annual family pictures.

Our "Family" pictures. I don't have any of the WHOLE Weber clan yet...those are to come.
Both my sister and my sister-in law are FAB photographers! I have links to both places on my sidebar. (Mel Cook Photography and Freckled Photos)
I admit...I like to craft. In fact, I LOVE it! It's amazing how girly I've become. When I was in the sixth grade I wore Umbro soccer shorts and No Fear shirts to school, my favorite color was turquoise, and I hated anything REMOTELY girly! Ryan says he can't picture me as a tom-boy, that is until he sees the pictures of me as a child and how bad my "ugly" stage was and how long it lasted! Anyways...sorry about that, back to my crafts. These are my projects lately:
Then I saw these and HAD to try them. Mine didn't turn out as cool, but here's the finished product. Eventually I'll make some colored ones. I tried the spray paint thing and I wasn't as successful as the ones of the tutorial. And please pardon the hot glue you can see all over the string.
And FINALLY I saw this ornament wreath and got so excited at how EASY it looked, I went to the Dollar Tree, got some ornaments and made this sucker in about 30 minutes. I can't wait to put it on my door! And it only cost me 9 bucks for the ornaments! All I have left is to cover the wire hook with a cute ribbon and hang it up come December 1st!
I hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween. I can't believe it's come and gone....next is Thanksgiving!!! Sheesh! Ryan and I had a fun Halloween. We headed over to my sister's house to have dinner and see the kids before they took off to go trick-or-treating. It's fun to see what they decide to dress up as. And I have to say that I have THE cutest nieces and nephews!
Here's Jackson, Caleb, and Ainsley. Ainsley was THE cutest witch I've ever seen!

Last weekend we had my work Halloween party. TONS of fun! We played "adult musical chairs" and I learned some serious stuff about the people I work with. I have to say, I LOVE my job. Here's a few pics from the party. 
The office, minus the Dr's. I WISH I had a picture of Dr. C's costume...there are no words. 
Hope everyone had a GREAT HALLOWEEN! Til next year!We're back from our wonderful trip to TEXAS! I was so excited to finally be able to show Ryan where I grew up and still consider home. I'll ALWAYS be a Texan at heart, whether or not I can convince my husband to move there. Warning: TONS of pictures follow!
Tomball, Texas is home to the world's largest shovel. This is me and Ryan with it.
Aren't the green trees just gorgeous?!
Once again, the biggest shovel.
My parents on the River Walk in San Antonio. We stayed in the Marriott RIGHT on the river. It was awesome...thanks Christy for the hook up!
The girls on the river walk.
We took a tour boat around the river. That was my favorite part of the whole trip. SO romantic and relaxing. PLUS it was great to learn all the history.

Pretty view.

Gotta love me some BLUEBELL! BEST ice cream EVER! I ate some every night. :)
I finally got to go through the Houston temple. We did a session there.
Los Cucos. THE. BEST. TEX MEX. No question about it! Ryan is a convert.
In front of the restaurant.
Ryan and I are heading out in like 5 minutes to go to Texas....I can't tell you how happy this makes me! It's been over 3 years since I've been home. Peace out for now and so long cold weather....at least for the weekend.
My wonderful Cousin, Heather, gave me a gift card to Hobby Lobby for my birthday...honestly...the. best. gift. ever. (thanks Heather!) I saw this monogram wreath and that's what I wanted to make! I still haven't added the letter to my wreath (waiting for the paint to dry!) but I couldn't wait any longer to post this! This is my first attempt at making a wreath. I spent less than half of what I could have bought this for at Hobby Lobby even WITH their 50% sales and it only took me an hour. The only bad thing about this experience is that my kitchen table got all scratched up...I'm an airhead and didn't think to cover it before I started...oh well! I'll post another picture when I get the letter hung.
