"TIN STAR RANCH"

Well last weekend was the big shoot for Wayne and I. We had to be in Fredricksburg (which is about an hour and half from our house) by 0830 or we couldn't shoot. I had to go into work at Ft Sam to administer a P.T. test to a bunch of new soldiers at 0430 so my day started early but ended fantastic.


Wayne's name is "Iron Sights" and mine is the "Pecos Kid"


This is what the knock down targets look like




-Haley was a great supporter and little Bennett slept through the whole thing-
Now the second order of business, the house. We are probably 2 weeks from signing papers and closing on our first new home. We are pretty dang excited. Here is a little video of the house, enjoy.



-This is the living room looking from the hall way-


-Matt in the Kitchen-


-No this little beauty has an interesting story. This rocker belonged to a friends Grandma who passed away a few years ago. Matt used go over to her house and would do little chores and she would make the most wonderful, homemade, Mexican food. The family was moving to Florida and had to get rid of it. Matt picked it up, refinished it and Mary and Haley cut and stitched the cushions together. It's pretty cute though.-

Two weeks! Your own house! YAY!

This way Haley will be "nesting" at the exact time she'll have someplace to build her "nest." Matt, don't be thinking that you're going to get any time off. You'll be moving stuff "a little to the left..." "No let's try that on this wall" and then there's the "Let's go shopping for this" and "what do you think of this in the baby's room?"

I'd opt against buying a "changing table" just use a dresser and put a cushon (rolled up blanket) on it. Once they get a little older you end up changing most of the diapers on the floor anyway.

Matt, if you need any practice Rainey's still wearing diapers. C'mon up and visit.

Congrats you two! This is way exciting news!

BTW Matt, who's having your kid? Your wife doesn't look pregnant. ;-)
