Jessica's New Car!

One of my best friends, Jessica, called last week saying that she was at the car dealership and about to sign papers on her new car! She bought a 2002 White Toyota Camry! It looks almost exactly like ours! We were so excited for her! She visited last weekend so of course we had to take pics by our cars!

Happy Birthday John & Butch!

We celebrated John (Hank's Dad) and Butch's birthday last weekend. Crystal made a yummy Enchiladas and Mexican Casserole. She also made Strawberry Pop Cake for dessert! John really like the scrapbook explosion that I made when we were visiting Ricky, Anna, and Hannah in Texas. Thanks Anna for the Scrapbook lesson! It was a hit!

Annual Garage Sale!

It seems like at least once a year we go through our closets and attic to find things for the annual garage sale! This year, we cleared out alot of clothes (mostly donated first) and sold alot of odds and ends that we didn't need anymore! Its always fun getting together and watching those early bird risers come and fight for who gets the big ticket items first! You would be surprised what some people buy and ask for at these things! We sold our bikes (we needed new ones), tv, computer desk and several other things. Hank is quite the salesmen and was able to talk up any item someone asked about! Ian even helped with the customers as well, informing them of what was for sale and what was NOT for sale (perhaps something he hadn't played with for a while ended up in the Garage Sale and he found it!) We had a great time!

The Wonderful Invention of IPOD!

OK, let me make myself clear. I promised myself that I would not breakdown and join the bandwagon to buy the ever popular Apple IPOD. At least not until I can get one for 30 dollars at the Mall. What can I say, I'm a bargain shopper and refuse to pay full price! I've received quite a few good deals thinking this way.

Well, I broke my promise and bought a Video IPOD. The reason is, we are flying to Orlando and Las Vegas next month. Both in the span of two weeks - thats alot of flying. So, to keep myself occupied while in flight, I bought an IPOD! For those of you who know me, I've never flown before and need all the help I can get!

Now that we have the IPOD, we can't live without it! Our friend Cory bought me an IPOD Car FM Transmitter/Charger thing so the commute to work is filled with GREAT music w/o commercials! Even listening to it at work helps the day seem less stressful! We now can say that the IPOD was a great investment and is highly recommended for those of you who commute to work and are able to listen while at work. The Video is pretty cool too!
