Worlds?

Mom and Codi were here this weekend for NCA Nationals. They flew in on Friday and we did the usual PF Changs thing. Saturday we went out to Northpark and shopped around and then went to watch Co compete. It was a huge competition and they were up against 11 or 17 (can't remember) teams.

They did really well both days... so well that they got a world bid. Looks like Cheer Texas is going to make their first ever appearance at WORLDS. It's funny how to look back at how Cheer Texas was 10 years ago... Nathan was the sole coach in the little strip center gym and we thought that getting a backhand tuck was the ultimate challenge. Ha.

Cancelled Plans/Relaxing Weekend

Well Miss Ashlee was supposed to come visit this weekend. On Thursday she called to cancel and I was pretty bummed. HOWEVER it turned out to be a great weekend with my hubs.

I still took off for a couple hours on Friday afternoon and took my sweet Ollie girl to the dog park. Then we went to the grocery store and got yummies for the weekend.

Saturday was filled with more dog park, Allen Outlets, home cooked meals, and quality time with our little family.

We've been realllly good about our work out regiment. 2 times a day this entire weekend. GO US! Now we've just got to keep it up.

In other news: we're having a nother nephew! Mitch and Lacey will definitely have their hands full with 2 little boys this close in age!

V: Vegas & Valentines

Last weekend we celebrated our "shaniversary" --as Chris calls it--and went to Vegas! It was a much needed get away for the both of us. We went to see Elton John (ama-zing) and Love (Beatle's Cirque du Solei). Chris had excellent luck at the tables ending up $300 ahead at the end of the weekend.

The trip was definitely enjoyable. Good food (Sushi Samba and Boa), good shopping, and good company.

Saturday was Valentines. Friday traffic was unbearable... seriously took 1 1/2 to make it my 19 miles home. I got home to a bottle of wine, dark chocolate, and a card with money for the sandals I've been eyeing. I am so lucky.

Saturday afternoon we saw Confessions of a Shopaholic, He's Just not that Into You, and Taken. All good.

a very Demere weekend.

Mom & Codi flew in on Friday for a cheerleading competition. The weekend was filled with good food and shopping, two of my favorite things.

Cheer Texas did better than I've seen them do in a couple years on Saturday. I didn't get to watch on Sunday, but I heard they didn't do as well as expected. They came out winning first place, and having a good run at overall, so Codi was pleased.

We went to a superbowl party in Allen last night. What a drive. It made me realize how much I like where we live. I am not sure I'm ready for life in "suburbia."

Vegas this weekend. I've been listening to Elton John on Pandora in preperation for the concert.

Ice Ice Baby

It's an ice storm in Dallas!! Unfortunately I am at work and Chris is at school. There's no such thing as a "snow day" in the real world. Bum deal.

Chris is just getting over the stomach flu. Gross.

Mom & Codi come this weekend and VEGAS next weekend.

I have house fever....

I'm in love with Greenland Hills/Vickery Place in Dallas. It's near where we currently live which is such a neat area. It's full of character and low crime... which is a biggie for me.

We started talking with a realtor, so keep your fingers crossed. I've got house fever!!

In other news I'm thinking of going back to school. No. Not graduate school. Just getting certified to teach. It's something that's been in the back of my mind for a while. Nothing's for certain yet.

Hello January!

It's mid January. Weird.

Where did Winter go?

Things in the Jones house are back to normal. My work schedule is back to the normal and Chris started back to school last Tuesday. It's been tough having to get up and go to work while he got to enjoy his break... no fair!

Nothing exciting going on in our little fam.

Here's some Christmas pictures to enjoy!
