The Holidays are Coming!!

Falling For Fall

Baby Belle and Baby boy Buckley

We get so excited for the holidays and now they are quickly approaching.  My Chico and I don't like to celebrate the "scary" side of the season, so we decorate "Harvesty".  We've hit Michaels and purchased some new Scarecrow kids to add to our small collection from last year.  This weekend we will give them a place in the yard.  Here they are watching as we drive off the lot. 

Let's Play Some Football!!!

Time for Some Boise State Broncos

It's that wonderful time of the year again...football season.  Oh how I love it! 

Boise State has moved up from the WAC to the Mountain West Conference.  They have some challenging teams to play this season and I'm so excited to watch each and every game.  

The Broncos opened up the season with a powerful and dominating game against the Georgia Bulldogs last weekend.  Final score: BSU 35, GA 21.   Yay Big Blue!!

The Grandbabies!

I was just going through my blog and realized I don't have any updated pics or news on our grandbabies.  Well, that is just not okay...gotta brag on those little cutie pies.  So here they are.

Sneak Peek

WE DID IT!

On May 29th Pete and I had our wedding.  We were surrounded by almost all our loved ones.  We had friends and family come to share in our special day.  As many of you already know,  Pete and I were legally married in December in a little civil ceremony room downtown.   But we knew we wanted to share our day with friends and family, the dress, the tux, cake, dancing etc etc...and NOW it feels real!!!  What a beautiful evening it was.  My bestest guy of all, my son, Josh, walked me down the aisle, our kids stood up for us, and the room was filled with people we love, who in turn, love us back.  Heather Way, Pete's niece and professional photographer captured our night with her expertise but we'll have to wait for those to come.  In the meantime, I'm posting some pics taken by some of our guests.

Moving right along...

The Countdown Begins

Less than one month to go till the wedding!  I can't believe it's almost time.  We are so excited but nervous at the same time.  I have all the major stuff i.e. photographer, D.J., menu, hair appts, etc...scheduled and set.  Decorations, cake, tux, bouquet, and yes the dress is finally bought.  I procrastinated long enough.  I did it!  I didn't realize there was so much to do, to buy, to sample, to decide on.  Wowzers!!!  I just hope the bridal party is working on things from their end.  It's hard to coordinate wedding arrangements from one state to another but surprisingly it's worked out quite well...so far!

Today I even got most everything packed securely in boxes for the long drive to Idaho. I've invaded my guest/craft room with boxes galore.   I still have a few more odds and ends to tie up, but THANKFULLY I see light at the end of the tunnel.

I feel so fantastically blessed to be celebrating this special day with so many of those I love with all my heart...I have the man of my dreams, the love of a lifetime and a family I cherish with all my soul.  Thank you precious Lord for giving me the desires of my heart.

Easter Blessing

Pete Gets Baptized

what a blessing Easter is, in and of itself, but then to add a baptism to it...what an extra blessing.  For many of us, Easter is a time to highlight and celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Our Savior conquered death so that we could be forgiven and upon accepting Him as our own personal Savior, we can spend eternity with Him in Heaven.

I accepted His gift many years ago...Pete just accepted Him this past October.  So, being a man of God and wanting to serve and follow Christ, Pete got baptized and chose to do it on Easter Sunday!  What a beautiful day it was!  

A video of his baptism can be viewed on our Youtube Channel: www.youtube.com/thechiconchica

New Channels

There are some new channels on YouTube.  Joshyboy013 is now moving to a new channel called JoshWebbTV.  Josh will now be posting his new videos on that channel instead.  Make sure to check it out at www.youtube.com/joshwebbtv

My chico and I have recently decided to become Vloggers.  We thought it would be a good way to keep in touch with our friends and family and give them a window into our lives here in Vegas.  If you're looking for action packed fun you won't find it on our channel...we're just vlogging random moments and thoughts.  We do have fun and it'll be a good record of things in our lives that we can have documented for years to come.  You can peek into our lives at www.youtube.com/thechiconchica
