Nunley/Harding Wedding

Last weekend we went to Emily and Josh's wedding in Dallas. It was a beautiful church, I didn't get great pictures of it.... but oh well! We got there really late, so we sat at the back on the groom's side.... oops! Anyways, it was a beautiful wedding then we headed to the reception down the road from the church. When we got there, not many people had shown up yet, so we got to walk around and look at everything It was a really pretty place. It was really big too, I'm surprised I didn't get lost! It was just room after room of tables and food.

Since we were going to be in Dallas, we made plans to eat dinner with Austin's friend Sebastian! It was good to see him and spend a little time in his neck of the woods! We ate at this AMAZING resturant. It was soo good. It was called Babe's Family Chicken House. YUM!

Wedding Weekend

I am worn out from yesterday! I had a busy day, more busy then the other days this week! It started by Austin and I waking up around 9. We both got ready and left the house at 9:45... him to work and me over to Avery's house. Arielle and Austin were coming to town, Arielle to get her hair done and Austin for moral support. They arrived right before I got to the house and they were already playing with Gwynn. Blah Blah Arielle got her hair done and we chatted. Then it was time for lunch, YUM! We headed to Freebirds and it was so delicious! After lunch, we walked around the outlet mall for like 2 hours! Good exercise.... after that, we parted our ways. I came home..... Layed out for an hour... then pulled weeds for the next couple of hours until Austin got home from work!!!!! But our yard, for today, is looking much better. I have WAY more to do today, but I can get it done.......

So yes, today on my list of things to..... Lay out in the sun...... and finish pulling weeds! Tomorrow we are Dallas bound. One of my kappa roomates is getting married and I am so excited to get to go!!!!! I will post pictures when I get back!

I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend :)

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter this year! We missed Johnny, Austin, HB and Lynnsay though..... We started all the fun festivities around noon on Saturday. We dyed eggs, opened Easter presents, hunted eggs, then had a delicious lunch! After that, we celebrated Papaw's birthday which was on Monday (Happy Birthday Papaw!) and just spent time together! It really was fun, and I LOVE spending time with my wonderful family. I hope everyone had a great Easter! Remember the reason for Easter, its the most important part! Speaking of that, on Saturday night we went to the Easter service at TBC. Austin left after work to make it to church with us! We ate at BJs after and it was YUMMY!

Yard work....

Why didn't anyone tell me how hard taking care of your lawn would be??? And not to mention expensive!!!!!! We have a horrible yard.. its full of weeds, all different kinds of weeds! We've tried pulling them and they just come back worse. We went to The Home Depot to get some fertilizer and ant killer! We ended up having to buy a spreader thing for the fertilizer, but it is super cute and little so it is awesome!!!! We also decided since we didn't want to have to borrow other people's lawn mowers to buy one! Happy Easter to Austin! He has already mowed the grass too! He is very excited about it! On Tuesday, Austin mowed the back while I ferlilized and watered the front grass. Today I did the back yard! I hope we have some BEAUTIFUL grass soon! It has just been so pretty outside and I just want to play in the yard..... a yard with grass and not weeds.... Mia has a VERY hard time finding her ball in those things!

Since we officially own the Jetski now, we have been fixing it up and getting it ready to take out this summer, hopefully! Austin's gears in his head are always turning and he is always thinking about how to make stuff better. The past couple of nights we have been working on the jetski out in the garage. The jetski had these stickers on the sides so we have been outlining the words with a razor blade and then peeling off the rest of the sticker. We have finished one side completely and it looks so good! Cannot wait until summer!!!!

Videos from Beaver Creek

I thought I would let you see a couple of the videos that I took while skiing. Well, I wasnt skiing when I took them.. I just mean the trip in general! They are mostly of Jayci and Jackson skiing.. but so cute!!!! I hope you enjoy!

Beaver Creek, Day 6 and on

Day 6: The 19th of March
Day of coming home!
Well.. It was sad to come home and for it to be such a long journey made it worse!

We all woke up around 5am and it was SNOWING.. not just snowing, it was REALLY SNOWING! We wait all week for it to snow and it comes as we are heading home! It was so pretty though and we got to play for a little bit while loading up the van. We head to the airport and it snows the whole way to the airport. Our plane is covered in snow and we watch the snow continue to fall. I have never gotten to fly in snow, so I was a little excited!!!! Time to board! We get on the plane and sit for a little bit. They wanted to see if the weather would clear before we taxi out. Not too long after, we taxi to the de-icer to get the snow off the plane. This is when the sitting starts. We sit for almost three hours.... they kept coming and telling us that there is not enough visability to take off. We sit and sit and sit...... Finally they taxi us back to the gate and tell us if we want to get off we can, but if we want another flight, there wouldn't be any until Monday or Tuesday nights.... it was FRIDAY! So crazy. So we decided to stay on the plane and sit it out. It was now around lunch time.. we were supposed to take off around 8am... so HB and Lynnsay got off the plane to go get us all some lunch! They said it was CRAZY inside. No flights were able to take off, so there were people everywhere inside. They come back and we eat lunch.... we continue to sit. They just keep telling us there isn't enought visability.... Blah blah.... I am sure I am boring you..... To finish the story, we ended up sitting on the plane for 7 hours before being able to take off. It was pretty miserable!

When we FINALLY got to the airport in Dallas, we grab our bags and get in the cars to head home!!!!! Our car had to stop in Hillboro again to meet up with Austin's parents so they could take us to Whitney! It was nice to be in Texas again!!!

While in Whitney, it was a VERY relaxing trip. We stayed in out pjs pretty much the whole time. We went to a wedding Saturday night and Church on Sunday.... On Monday we went to the annex and got Austin's truck and the jetski put in our name! We went to the school to tell his mom bye and headed to Temple! We stopped in Temple to eat lunch with Mom and Dad.... we had to go by POP because there wasn't anywhere to park the truck and jetski. After lunch, we went back and got the truck. While driving, Austin pulled over to check on the trailer. The tire seemed to be coming off and so we drove super slow and were going to try and make it to the farm to get some tools to fix it. We couldn't make it that far so we stopped at POP again and called dad. We parked it inside and took the trailer off the truck. We decided to just go to the farm and get a trailer to put the other trailer and jetski on. We came back and did just that! Man we were looking good! So again we are on the road again...... We get to about Salado and as Austin is pushing the pedal down, the speed of the truck was also going down, which ISN'T supposed to happen..... We drive about 20 miles an hour on the access road back to Belton to the shop where my parents take thier cars and leave the broken truck and the broken trailer. Dad takes us to the house and we get to stay for dinner! It was a long day so dad let us take his truck back home with us.... So that was Monday.... we just went last night back to Temple to get his truck and trailer. It was good to finally get our stuff back!!!

It was a crazy week and we are glad everything is back in its place and everyone has their own car now!

Beaver Creek, Day 5

Day 5: The 18th of March
Last day of skiing. :(
We did our own things in the morning.... including making sandwiches before we left! We were meeting mom and dad at the bunny slope around lunch time to get pictures and videos of the kids coming down the mountain. They were so cute. Jayci had improved 110% from the other days. We think it was from her ice skating. It was like it just clicked and she got it! It was cool to witness it. She is amazing! After skating on the bunny slope for a while, we headed down for lunch. We ate sandwiches as one big happy family. When we were sitting and talking after everyone finished lunch, dad handed me his phone and told me to listen. It was a message from a guy who had found my PHONE!!!!! I was so excited to be getting my phone back, it had been a long two days without it...... We had made plans to meet up later that night to pick it up. This guys turned out to be a total creeper and really scary.... thats a whole other story...
That afternoon, our friends Blake and Amy came to visit us! They live in Denver and it was about a 2 hour drive. It was good to see them for a little bit and hang out with them! We hadn't seen them in a while and I'm glad we got to see them while we were in their state! We started drinking when they got there and ended up in the hot tub. We had a full tub... Me, Austin, Blake, Amy, HB, and Lynnsay..... It was fun! After the hot tub it was bed time. We made their bed and tucked them in. The morning came early. We had to get up around 5 and be ready to leave around 5:30 for the airport.....

Beaver Creek, Day 4

Day 4: The 17th of March
Saint Patty's Day :)
Day 3 of skiing.
These pictures are easy to pick out because most of us were wearing green! Anyways, to start out the day, we were pretty much all separated. But it was nice to do our own things sometimes! We ended up meeting and ate lunch at the slopes. We sent the boys up for another run... well just HB and Austin.... and the rest of us went to get lunch. We sat down in the village and had a nice lunch together just us kids! Who knows what mom and dad were doing, probably shopping, knowing mom!!!!! :)
This lunch outing was the time when I lost my phone.... what a sad situation that turned out to be!!! It was aweful..... we kept going to check lost and found, and checking that place we ate lunch but no phone in sight. After lunch, we went back out to ski. HB, Lynnsay, Austin and I headed up the cenntenial, as usual! That one was probably our favorite lift and runs even though they were all blues.
After skiing all day and doing a little shopping too... we went home an all got changed. After dinner, we went ICE SKATING!!!!! It was so much fun and Jayci LOVED it. We could hardly drag her off the ice when it was closing. She just skated around and around and around. The rest of us took many breaks off the ice, but not her!!! It was soo cool to watch her. She had just learned to rollerblade for her roller skating birthday party and we weren't quite sure if she would pick up ice skating.... but now she is hooked!
After skating, Austin, Jordan, Justin and I went out for drinks for St. Patty's day! We went to a little bar called The Dusty Boot. It was a pretty cool place! And then home to sleep for our LAST DAY OF SKIING!
