Some pictures

Ok - so here are the pictures I have been promising - please try to ignore all the things laying on the floor.... especially in the office.... if you click on the pics they will get larger.... this is the kitchen, living room, and office....

We are slowly but surely getting settled and I know I need to post a few pics for you.... and I can't wait to do that... BUT I don't want to put any pics on until there are a few less boxes.... tomorrow - I will get one of the kitchen and LR up....

It has been a busy few weeks....

Camryn had to have a freckle removed from her face last week... it appeared this summer - out of the blue and it has doubled in size already and was very dark.... so I took her in to have it looked at and he wanted to take it off.... testing came back and it was fine.... and now it is off her face... there was a need for a coupe of stitches... so we went today and had those removed.....

We had a wedding, Melissa and Sam, in the midst of the move too... Melissa is one of Dean's cousins... and she was a candle lighter in our wedding 13 years ago....

Melissa and her dad walking down the isle...

Colby had his last 2 baseball games and had some soccer in the last few weeks....

A little pitching....

Camryn has had soccer as well....

A little pushing...


and shoving..... oops..... can we say aggressive?!?!


a break away...


stopping the ball...


and she is off....



We have had our second book club meeting - we read The Shack by David Gregory - very interesting... it was a little hard to get through in the middle - but it was a great book and we also went to Robust in Webster Groves for dinner.... so much fun!! I am in charge of book club this month and we are reading - The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks.... so far so good... you should read it with us!

We did a little pumpkin carving this week too..... Colby painted his pumpkin black with a green inside... it turned out really cool... (if you look at these pics closely you can see some of our house on the inside... click on them and make them bigger)

Camryn having fun!


Not liking the insides!


Colby getting the insides out... he has always liked this!


drawing his very own pumpkin face....


digging for guts!


Also had to get ourselves to the movies last Friday to see High School Musical 3 - and boy was it ever so cute!!!

So as you can see things have been a little busy!!! They should start to settle down soon....

Move that Bus!

Welcome Home Voss Family....

Ok - so its not really Extreme Makeover Home Edition...but it is our home!! Things have been a little busy needless to say..... Lots has been going on... paint, lights, blinds, unpacking, Lowes trips, drywalling (the garage), furniture deliveries... and much much more!! But I am so loving the new house already!! I don't have an inside pics just yet.... they will be coming soon - we should be completely in by this weekend.... and I can't wait!! But here is a picture of the finished front.... (click on the picture to enlarge!)


Home again, Home again, rig a jig jig!

IT'S OURS!

Yep - we closed on the house today.... so we are official owners of our new home!! We are really excited!!! It has been a super busy day... I am finally back at the Villa - Dean is still at the house painting... Randy is still hanging lights.... and Eric finished almost all the blinds!! We have a wedding to go to tomorrow and a soccer game - and the rest of the time we will spend at the house.... getting things together.... I WILL get pics up soon - its just been a little crazy!! Believe me - I can't wait to show you guys too - I just love it!! Anyway - I am off to bed...

I know I know.....

I haven't been updating -- sorry about that - no good reason... but you may notice my ticker and that we are way close to the big day!! We had our walk through today - all went well - we also have landscaping and grass -- IT LOOKS LIKE OUR HOUSE!! I will get some pics - it is a little yucky here today - and might rain for a few days (good for my new grass!) But we close on Friday... I can't wait - and then my painter - that would be Dean - will be painting his weekend.... Oh so stinking excited!! I have some new pics - will get those on soon too...

Not Me Monday....

Well... its that time of the week again....



I didn't turn 35 yesterday... nope not me - how could I possibly be 35 - I mean aren't I still in my 20's...

I did not go crazy.... and eat out several times in celebration of not turning 35.... with breakfast on Wednesday with my friend Janell at Rise N' Dine... Lunch Friday with my sister at PF Changs and of course Movie Friday - to Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist... Dinner Saturday with several girlfriends, Kerry, Monica, Kimberly and Kelli, at El Maguey.... Lunch Sunday with my kids at Bread Co. and birthday dinner with Dean from Taco Bell (my pick)... Nope that would be a lot of eating out in just a few short days!! (YES I am headed to the gym this morning!)

I did not have 8 diet coke cans on my night stand again..... seriously - what is wrong with me!!!

I did not go to the Eureka Rodeo Friday night.... it is something I have always passed on so there is no way I was going to go this year! Especially since it was not my birthday weekend!!!

And for my final not me.... when we were eating dinner Saturday night... we did not have a tree frog jump onto our table and knock Kelli's straw from her drink, land in Monica's water and then jump to Kerry's water... nope that would have had us all jumping and screaming and we didn't do that..... and when the manager brought some plastic frogs to our table as a joke... I didn't set it on the little girl's shoulder behind us... and scare her so bad that she spit her food out..... nope not me....
