Making the best of the little bit of snow!

When we woke up this morning we had another inch of snow! nothing compared to what people have in Northern Arkansas but we decided to make the best of it! My parents live about 5 miles from us and they have better sledding hills. Since the roads were impassable... wecouldn't even get out of our driveway and we had seen others try... we decided to walk. We got our dogs and a backpack with Justin's computer (so he could work some), water, and candy ha just incase we got stranded I guess! Well needless to say about an hour and a little over 3 miles, slipping and sliding the whole way, my dad decided he could come get us!!! Here's us in the middle of our journey having fun!!

The pit stop where dad picked us up.

We went to the place we got married to go sledding. We knew no one would be there or have messed up the hill and we were right. We had a blast!

We talked Katherine into coming too!!

I hope everyone had a good Saturday!!

Snow Day (or Ice)

Todays a snow day so no school for me!!! Justin went in to work this morning and after 15 minutes he headed back home. No one was in the office so he brought work home for the day! The pups were happy to have him here even though there is really no snow! They keep begging to go out and eat the ice and then beg to come back in, in about 5 minutes when they are too cold! I want snow though! And would be perfectly fine with being snowed in all weekend!!! Too bad that doesn't happen in Little Rock.

A lot of things have happened since my last blog! We have a new nephew!!

Miles Lee Wilson! He is so precious. He is about 5 weeks old already.

Here's the fam at Christmas! We all got to be together on christmas day this year!!

Here's Justin's surprise that I made! It is a t-shirt quilt out of all our club t-shirts!

The girls took a day to go to Oaklawn on opening weekend a couple weekends ago! I of course did not win anything, But Adrianne did!!! We had fun even though we knew nothing! We learned a lot though and by the end of the day we at least knew what bid we were making!

Here's one last picture of precious Miles! He loves me! I need a good name for him to call me now!

Fall*

Fall is my favorite season!!! It is very busy for the Simpson household though! This weekend we are getting to go with my family to a deer canin. We are taking the dogs and they will love having all the room to run! We have Justin's best friends wedding and showers along with a girls trip for me!! In between everything we have to squeeze uin our football and teaching in the nursery. I'm going to be worn out after October comes to an end! Happy Fall everyone and have a wonderful weekend!

Happenings Lately

School consumes my life!!! I look forward to sleeping at night... and thats how I get by day to day. I love working at the hospital and I have learned SO much, but it keeps me busy.

I love the Fall!

The weather is perfect and football is in full swing. We get to go to the Little Rock Razorback games plus a couple in Fayetteville this year! I just wish we could start winning a couple more games and not embarrass ourselves.

The end of summer also means puppy pool party!!! At the closing of the Maumelle pool they invite all of the dogs to go swimming. I am sure Brooks looks forward to it every year!! And it was Presley's first time to attend. She learned to swim and loved it once she could jump in. Heres some pictures of the party.

Our friends Jacqueline and Gus came too!

They got these cute bandanas for party favors!

Bring on the Fall... Go Hogs Go!!!!

Show us your life- Reception

Our wedding reception was so much fun!! It was right next to our wedding site so we didn't have to go far! We had a local band Alley Katz come play and they were so much fun. Our whole wedding party and all of our friends really made the night memorable. Most of our flowers at the reception were done by my moms friends. My favorite part of the reception was our tents and the lights!

So my hubby is a Tennessee fan (annoying i know).

Our first dance was to "The luckiest" by ben folds- love it!!!

Ok so there are a lot of dancing pictures, but I just think they are so funny!

Getting my G-ma to dance

Shawn and Jacqueline the life of the party!

My dad was shaking he was crying so hard during our father daughter dance to "My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw. Of course I cried. He never cried so it was extremely touching.

Even my mom with her few dance moves got into it!!

Aww Katie one of my best friends I never get to see because there are many states in between us!

My mom sad I am leaving...

by the time we left our reception(which was much later than planned since we were having so much fun) it was pretty dark so you can only see the birdseed being thrown all over us. We had to pour out our shoes at the hotel!

Our getaway was the trolley- another one of my favorites!!!

I look forward to seeing everyone else's receptions and honeymoons!!!

Vote for our pups!!!

We have entered our adorable dogs in the AR democrat Gazette dog calendar contest!!! We could get them to be on January's page haha!!!! They could be movie star and you could all have their autographs! Vote for them.

thankful**

I have so many things to be thankful for, but just to name a few....

I am going to be an Aunt!!! Woo Hoo. Not only am I going to be an aunt, but I am going to be the only aunt to a nephew, who will have 4 uncles!!! He's really going to be a tough kid. This will be my first time to be an aunt so in my excitement I got creative and made this little boy some shoes. He will not have cold feet! Right now they are trying to decide on a name. His middle name will be Lee which is a family name and his last name is Wilson. So any ideas for _____ Lee Wilson???

I am also thankful for my friends. I got to see the Rogers this weekend and had to much fun with them, but I don't get to see them enough.

I have some of the best friends even though a lot of us live far away from each other. I love those that live close too!!!

I am also thankful for my wonderful husband. He has been having to work a lot lately and is getting pretty stressed because he is now in-charge of most of the jobs he is doing. I don't tell him thanks enough so today and I gave him a little blast from his childhood and bought him some Jungle Juice! He always talks about having it when he was a kid!!

I am going to try and just get him little things that might make him a little happier at the end of a long day. Does anyone remember having jungle juice because I don't!!!!

His hair!!! eek

I blog way more on my breaks from school!!!!!
