Hill Family Party

This is the best "group" picture we ended up with from the Hill Family party this year...Uncle Bub, if you have a better one, send it our way!

Kristi, Lex, Dad, Linda Kay, Uncle Bub, Jeremy, Suzanne, Cindy & Me-Maw (mom was the photographer)!

Merry Christmas from the Fleharty Pups!

Christmas Lights!

Matt did a great job and put up all these lights practically by himself (when I was in Greenville)! The luminaries took almost an entire day! I was leary of all the colored lights, but I must say they have grown on me! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Longhorn Christmas

Last night Dean came over to give Matt his Christmas present. It was a hand-made rug with none other than Bevo on it! Dean individually cut each 4 inch piece of yarn and then latched this rug for Matt. It took him over 333 hours to make this. Come visit and you can see it in Matt's Longhorn room :)

South Carolina!

I got to visit Kristi & Lex last weekend in South Carolina! Here's a pic of us at a seafood restaurant, which by the way had awesome scallops! Yum. We did a lot of shopping, baked some Christmas cookies and ate a lot of tasty food. We also bought some boiled peanuts for Matt from the P-Nut Man, who was actually a woman. He loooooved them even though he didn't get to eat them until my bags finally arrived on Tuesday (thanks American Airlines - haha)!

Snow-Weeds!

Only in the desert....Snow and TUMBLEWEEDS! (look under the tire)! This is the promised picture from a few weeks back.

Grates and Pits....

This morning I overheard Matt on the phone with an electrian. He was giving directions so that the electrician could meet him out at a site to install some kind of wire. The directions went like this:

Go past Billy Walker Road. Pass 3 cattle grates and then turn left at Cooper's pit.

We ain't in Dallas anymore, Toto!

NEWSFLASH: It does snow in the New Mexican Desert!

Pictures to come when my HP software starts working again....

Texas Aggie vs. Texas Longhorn Game!

This picture says a lot...happy Aggie, not so happy Longhorn! (Actually, the sun is just in his eyes)!
















Aggie Sandwich






















Before the game.















Gig 'Em and Hook 'Em















Our FAVORITE ice cream spot in Austin...Amy's Ice Cream. This is our ice cream cow too -- we frequented him often when we were dating!

Dining Set!

The long awaited dining set is finally here and set up!

Matt with china cabinet. We inherited this set of Waterford so we are very glad to have a place for it now! I made Matt put each piece in the cabinet because with tile floors I've already broken a LOT of stuff!!! Funny that I didn't drop that much stuff when we had carpet floors...or at least I didn't think I did!!

And yes, that is plastic still on the chairs! HAHA

Matt & Table w/ Christmas table cloth (already)! HOHOHO We have 2 leaves for the table so it gets huge. We are also planning to put up crown moulding, which is why the top paint line is so crooked :)

This is the "before" shot. Well, semi-before. The walls were all the beige color with a wallpaper border. I pulled down the border to find the sponged-on leaves. So, we repainted the beige, added the green, and Matt put up some moulding as a divider.

Turn the HEAT on!

Matt and I have been conducting a little experiment this past month. We did not turn on our A/C or our Heat at ALL for an entire month, just to see how it would effect our electric bill. Today the newest bill came. Guess how much we saved compared to the previous month's bill? That's right, folks. FIVE DOLLA'! Holla!




Glad we FROZE our HINEYs OFF!
heheheh

Andrea & Scott's Dallas Reception

Brooke holding Emery!

Brooke got to hold Emery for the first time! I must say that I love blogger and digitial pictures! It's such a great way to stay in touch when your peeps live all over the country!

Happy Birthday, Sister!

Happy Big 2-6, KP! And bring this girl some bubbly!

Emery Kate Update

I have been checking Brooke's sister's blog for updates on her and Emery Kate and today I found a lot of information! Here's a quote from Heather, Brooke's sister:

"Mom and baby are doing fantastic! Miss Emery is 100% breathing on her own, no oxygen needed. That's a miracle too. Everything about Emery is a miracle. Thank you Jesus for bringing her to us safely. Of course she'll be in the hospital for a little while until she gets a wee bit older. For now, she's thriving in the NICU. No setbacks whatsoever."

Isn't she so precious? Tiny little one!

Welcome Emery Kate!

Emery Kate was born this morning! I don't have any other details other than that Brooke and baby are "ok." Brooke was still in surgery when her sister called me and Emery was wheeled over to the NICU right away. I'll let you know more when I hear an update.

Brooke & Emery Kate

Please pray for my friend Brooke and her unborn baby, Emery Kate. Brooke's in the hospital with complications and Emery Kate isn't getting everything she needs to grow. She's a tiny one (1 lb 14 oz) and is due in December. Doctors are working to keep Emery in the oven, but they need prayers for Brooke's complications to subside and for Emery to get everything she needs to grow. I'll keep you posted as I hear from Brooke.

Dancing DAD THE BIRD

Here's Dad dancing like a bird at Buca de Beppo...he'll do just about anything for a free piece of cake!

Keep reading, there are several new posts below!

Andrea & Scott's Wedding

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. SHEPHERD! The wedding was absolutely gorgeous. It was at a vineyard near Sacramento, CA and the weather and decorations were exceptionally beautiful! I'm so happy that Andrea has found her Mr. Right - they are great together! There will be more pics from the "real" photographer in about 30 days, so I'll post more then. I was so excited to get to see my friend Lisa and her hubby Jeb and new baby Mary Kate! They are an adorable family!

In other news, Matt and Dean made their first trip down to Austin for UT/Ohio State game. They had a blast even though they didn't win. Apparently there is a new jumbo -tron at the stadium that is so big that Matt thought it was a new hotel under construction when he saw it from the back! Dude, guess you have to spend your national championship money somewhere (of course, scholarships or academic things are out and jumbo-trons are in! haha)! They had great success selling their extra tickets to the game on ebay and the proceeds just about paid for their whole season!!! Gotta LUV EBAY!

Labor Day Weekend!

Kristi and Lexipoo came to visit for labor day weekend and we had a lot of fun! They hosted a BBQ party so we got to see a lot of people all at once! I only took a handfull of pics, so when I get copies from KP and Mom I will post more. Get ready too-- Kristi took some great ones of Dad dancing at Buca de Beppo at his bday dinner!! He had to dance like a bird!
