Jackson Matthew Wear

We made it though the baby names book and picked a name! Our little boy will be named
Jackson Matthew Wear!!!

On Thursday Matt came home with a gift for me. He got Jackson his 1st Bible! I love it! All of the Bible stories point to Jesus. It's so great. I have already started reading it to Jackson. Here is a picture. Sorry I'm not sure how to turn it the other way.
We got a new brown leather rocker/recliner today. I so look forward to the day when I can rock our baby to sleep in it!
Here's what it looks like in the family room. We had our first fire of the season tonight!
The cold weather made we want something warm for dinner, so I made Spicy Chicken Stew for dinner.

Painting the Nursery - Day 2

Matt worked really hard tonight and got a lot more painting done. Check out the pictures... I just love the colors!

Painting the Nursery - Day 1

We started painting our little boy's nursery today.....


Action shot...

The top of the wall is baby blue. The bottom 3 feet of the wall is going to be brown. Then Matt is going to install a white chair rail to divide the two colors. Here is the sample of the brown....
I wrote our baby a message on the wall where we are going to paint brown.
We are still deciding on a name for our little man. Right now the top two names are Jackson Matthew and Ethan Matthew... We are only through the M's in the baby name book though. :)

Flower Fail

So here is what the flowers look like 5 days after I planted them.... they are all brown and shriveled! They started to die after only 2 days! I watered them... guess I just don't have a green thumb. Any ideas how to get flowers to live?

The Wall

On Wednesday we had 2 men come and build a little wall around our flower bed. They took out all of the bad dirt and weeds and put in all new dirt.
This was our anniversary present to each other!
Then I planted flowers... thanks for helping me pick them out Janie!

The front of our house looks so much different now!
They used Austin stone to match the house.

Hamburger Cupcakes

I make these this afternoon.... it was so much fun!
They will be our dessert tonight for dinner tonight with out home group.
They are made out of cupcakes, icing, and sesame seeds!
If you want to make some here is the website where I got the idea: http://www.flickr.com/photos/katedw/sets/72157617528706606/

Unclaimed Property

If you have ever lived in the state of Texas, you need to go to this website!

You could get cash that belongs to you! I am getting a $37 check from when I worked at the Four Seasons and Matt is getting a $20 check from when he worked at Abeulos. Now we are $57 richer! :)
