Recap on the last month!!!

I know it has been a while since I have posted a blog, but things have been sooo crazy busy with work and family!!!! So let me give a quick recap on what we did....if I can remember everything lol
Well we went to the San Antonio Zoo with Mindy and the kids while Cody was on spring break!!! It was Sydney's second time going and she loved every moment of it!!! Al of us had a really good time walking around and looking at all the animals, but it was a little crowded.

Me and Sydney 

Mindy, Laken, Sydney, and Me 

Me and the hubby 

Kellen has found a skeet and trap range near by and we usually go there every weekend to shoot our shotgun. I don't have any pictures of that but I will put some up soon. Kellen really enjoys shooting!!! In Texas they have a fiesta every April, it is pretty much a very long party haha So Kellen and his friend wanted to go one night, I was the designated driver haha we had fun though walking around eating and drinking. Then this past weekend Kellen did a mud run for the "Wounded Warrior" foundation, it was a 8K and he finished in about 40 something minutes which is really good time. After that we drove up his moms house for easter.

Bailey had a buddy on Easter, Joey haha

Me and Laken 

So in between all of our crazy weekends, we also have work the whole week. Kellen's job is stressful sometimes but he comes home everyday to his loving family to help him get rid of his stress. I think I have a the greatest job in the world watching a little piece of sunshine. Even when I have a crummy day Sydney always makes my day better with her giggles and laughs. 

God has truly blessed us with so much love and family here and at home! I will ask that they be prayers for my health and that my next doctors appointment will be good news to help me get better! I know God has given me the best husband in the world and he takes wonderful care of me. I could not ask for anyone better!!! I know he will be by my side through everything!!!!

Wicked For Kellen's Birthday!

I know that Kellen's birthday is not till April 1st, but Wicked was only here in Texas until the first week of March....sooooo I had to get them in February. I have seen it twice before and it was Kellen's first time and I was sure that he would love this play!

He always has to be so silly! So we left our house and headed down to the city, we wanted to get there early so that we could eat. When we got into the city we were looking for parking, we saw parking lot and pulled over to ask the guy how much it would be to park here. He told us that the lot was reserved(of course it was, it happen to be the closest lot to the theater), but by the grace of God he let us park there cause he said we looked like a nice couple out for a special night!!! It was a huge blessing that we got to park there. 

This is our parking spot, I had to take a picture of it cause it was a huge blessing! After that we walked down the street and we found a restaurant to eat at. Little did we know that it was French cuisine, I ate a salad cause there was nothing that looked that great to me, but Kellen really enjoyed his pork. 

This is while we waited an hour for our food to come, we were losing our patience and we didn't want to  be late to our play. Lets just say that we got our food at 7:30 and the play started at 8, we ate our food in 5 minuets lol no time to waste!!!

Good thing that the Theater was right down the street from where we ate. We were not allowed to take any pictures of the inside of the Theater, but all I have to say is that it was one of the most beautiful theaters that I have ever seen!! The play was amazing as usually and Kellen loved it!!!!! He has been singing the song "Popular" all week long....what a cutie!! We had a great night out together and enjoyed it very much!

I love my Husband soooo much and I am so happy that we got to go and see the play together!!

I can't believe that it is already March and next month is Kellen's real birthday, got to get to work on something else to do!!! We loved our night out for Kellen's early birthday present, but not shortly after that we both have gotten sick. We are both praying that we get well soon, cause there are so many more things that we would like to do out here in San Antonio and being sick does not allow us to do that lol Well that's it for now!! Miss and Love everyone at home!!

Bailey's Birthday and The Alamo

So on the 18th it was Bailey's first Birthday, we decided to take her to this park that is by our apartment. The park was huge it took like 10 minuets just to find where the dog park was lol We let Bailey run around and be a wild girl, since she doesn't get to do that much at home. She was really good too she didn't ever run off or go far away from us!

There she is being a wild girl! She loved following Kellen around. 

We had a good time playing with her and we also took lunch with us, so we kinda went on a family picnic. It was nice to just be together and have fun with our puppy! 

I love my little family soooo much! 

So on Monday we went to the Alamo with Dede and Summer! I have always wanted to go and explore the Alamo. Every time I think of the Alamo I always think about Miss Congeniality the movie and how the pageant was in Texas and they also show the Alamo lol 

It is not as big as I thought it would be, but I love the brick and the old buildings. We could not take any pictures inside so I don't have many pictures to show of the Alamo. 

I had to take this picture for my momma back home, cause I know how she loves arches and southwestern style and the Alamo just reminded me of her! I love you Momma!

The Alamo was beautiful and we enjoyed looking at everything and having fun together as a family! We also went by a couple other places and took some funny pictures!

Summer and I with a very tall man!

Me with a very large woman.......or man???!!!! lol 

Summer and I made a friend while we were out....his name was Jed....we loved him!!

This picture is of the Majestic Theatere where Kellen and I are going to see Wicked on the 24th of this month! I bought the tickets for Kellen's birthday, I am soooo excited for him to see the play I know he will love it! We had a great weekend with our family and with each other, we are blessed with what God has given us. There are still some trials that we are going through, but God is faithful to us and we trust what He has in store for us! We love and miss everyone at home!

SNOW!!!!

So this last week we had snow out here in Texas! Kellen got a call at 6 in the morning to not come into work cause the roads were closed due to Ice and Snow. At about 8 Kellen woke up to take bailey out to the bathroom, then he came rushing back in yelling at me to come look outside. It was soo exciting looking out upon Snow!!!!

It was soo cool to have that, Kellen and I have never lived anywhere with snow falling and staying on the ground. But in Texas we can get it but not all the time lol Anyways it was just fun to feel like winter outside, instead of California where its 70 in January lol 

The whole main road was covered in snow. I guess by like 6 in the morning over 300 accidents had happened, so I was glad that Kellen was home safe with me and he didn't have to go to work. 

Bailey had a hard time getting traction on the snow, cause it was hard like ice. She slide down like half of the stairs to get outside, it was pretty funny. 

Anyways it was a pretty awesome day having snow and having Kellen all day long, it was a wonderful day. We are so blessed to have an amazing family and friends here to support us. I have been blessed to have a friend out here, we had friends from California move out here for the military too, but they will only be here till June. It has been so nice to have a friend to hangout with and talk to while Kellen is gone at work. I feel blessed with everything that God has given me and Kellen. I am a blessed wife to have the husband that I do. I love my hubby sooo much and am happy that I get to spend the rest of my life with him.

A week with Sydney!

This past week Kellen had a week off of work and we decided to steal his little sister Sydney for the week! It sure was a fun week and it is great practice for having our own baby someday! She is a sweet girl and we enjoyed spoiling her and playing with her 24-7! We also had our sister Laken come stay with us so we could enjoy her as well! Both of them are a true joy in our lives! It was funny cause every morning I had a routine, I would wake up when Bailey wanted to go out to the bathroom, come in make my morning coffee, watch CSI and wait till Sydney would wake up. When she woke up I would make her oatmeal and yogurt! I loved seeing this face every morning!

I would hangout with Sydney and play with her until the rest of the house would wake up, I enjoyed our little time together every morning! Most days we would wake up and take Sydney for long walks, she always wanted to go outside lol she is and adventurous girl! Kellen and Laken loved taking Sydney and running and playing with her on our walks!

We took Sydney to Toys R US, she loved looking at everything and playing with all the fun toys. We ended up buying her a couple of things, we just could not help it. We bought her this cute outfit!

An we also bought her a Princess tent, which she would refuse to come out of! She loves it too much and it is fun to watch her play in it with all her toys! It kept her occupied for hours!

There was one thing she loved more then anything in the world! A Hot Pink Barbie Mustang! She sure wanted that thing and we had a hard time getting her to get out of it! What a Diva!

It was a wonderful week and we enjoyed it very much, but we are enjoying just being with each other after all the fun this week. Kellen and I are excited to spend some alone time for a while and refresh! We cant wait to have our sisters over again sometime! Kellen and I went to a church this Sunday that we enjoyed, Kellen really liked and we plan on going to it again next Sunday! It is just taking me a little bit more time getting use to something different, I miss my church family back at home, but I know that God has a plan for us out here and he is helping us make this place a home! Here is our sweet child I could not help but add a picture of our baby! She is turning 1 Year Old on February 18! Woooooo!

Love and miss everyone at home! 

Exploring San Antonio

So this past Monday the family went to the Riverwalk in San Antonio and had a little adventure. The Riverwalk was so beautiful, so many shops and cool things to see. 

It was a little cold outside, but it was well worth our time going, we didn't get to walk the whole river. That just means that we get to go back and explore some more. We went into shops and looked around, me and the girls could not help but try on some cowgirl hats!

I plan on buying one in the near future, I need my Cowgirl boots and Cowgirl hat and I will be all set!

There were lots of cool restaurants for Kellen and I to go eat dinner at(hint hint!)!!

There is a park by the riverwalk, also you can get to the Alamo from the Riverwalk, we have not explored that yet, but we plan on going next weekend! At one end of the Riverwalk there was a Mall called the RiverCenter, it was Awesome!!! I see myself there in the near future!

This is the Rivercenter! Can't wait to go back there! We had a pretty fun time down there with everyone and we are excited to go back and enjoy it more. I see lots of date nights down there! This week Kellen started his new job and we are really excited about it. It is gonna be a great job for him, I know that he will do amazing as an Instructor! 

There is my cute Husband! I am so blessed to have him! I praise God everyday that I get to love that man for the rest of my life. We are so greatful for everything that God has given us and we are blessed to have such an amazing family here and at home!

Getting Settled

It's been awhile, but we are finally in our apartment and getting settled in San Antonio. Our stuff was behind a couple weeks, but all that matters is that our stuff is here now. We have tons of help getting our stuff unpacked.

This is when we were getting that couch in the apartment it would not fit in the door so we had to take the railing off on the balcony and pull it up that way. Remember that we are on the second floor!!! There were boxes everywhere it was a disaster!

I am lucky that I had so much help cause we unloaded everything within the first day, now its just a matter of organization and decorating everything! I can't wait till this is done and this home feels complete. I am so blessed to have such  helpful husband who supports me in everything. 

It's weird not knowing where anything is, but that will take some time to get use to. I am loving having so much space in our new apartment, its wonderful to have a place for guests.......I am expecting visits from everyone! 

This I my guest room awaiting people to come visit it!

I am happy here and I love the houses and everything they are so beautiful, I can't wait to explore more of the city and go to the Riverwalk. I know that so many exciting things are in store for me and Kellen, I am so happy that we are finally getting settled and starting our life here. I praise God for our family and the support that we have here. We also got a addition to our family when we arrived here.....meet our first child Bailey Rae Holcomb.

We miss everyone at home and love everyone! I guess that is all for now, now back to decorating!
