Happy Thanksgiving Y'all

We had such a Happy Thanksgiving in Texas with our fam!!! We are enjoying a couple of weeks with them as Mark has training here. Yeeehaw! We have gone to Sea World for their holiday fest and are planning many other fun holiday things too.

Forgot to Blog About it!

Hi Folks! I forgot to blog about some other fun October stuff that we did. We participated in our first Kansas Corn Maze. It was pretty darn good. They also had a tepee made of corn, a corn pit for little kids to play in, teatherball and basketball courts, and much more! I convinced Mark to get on the blow up toys, one of my favorite things in the world. We had to take a pic on the GIANT chair. This little kid was on it and didn't want to get off so we told him to smile for the camera...enjoy. :)


I didn't get great pics, but here are some of when we visited Scott and Kels in Tucson. These are from our hike. We had to practice our yoga before we got going :) We had a great time with them!!!

A Spooktacular Halloween

This past week, Mark had a training in DC and I took a trip to Texas! Wahoo!

Many exciting things happened in Texas. I don't know if I could even choose a favorite. I started to type about what we did in order, but I keep getting the days mixed up, so here's a little list of some Spooktacular Halloween Events in no particular order:

1. Costume parade at Lu Lu's school. She dressed up as "fries" with a ketchup bag. I thought it was the cutest costume there! These little munchkins were good kids at the parade. One of them couldn't keep out of the sand on the playground!
2. Play group party-- we made some spooky bowling pins out of pop bottles
3. Playing the hairdresser with Lucy. First her, then me, then her again. :)
4. Sea World Halloween Fest
5. YW night with the sis. I made several magnets and took them all home!
6. Many delicious meals. We devoured pumpkin pancakes for breakfast. On Halloween, we ate "mummy pizzas"

7. Face Painting time-- just for fun.

8. Watched a chick flick (While you Were Sleeping) and two musicals (Singing in the Rain and Fiddler on the Roof), love it!
9. Dance Class --dress up day (that's what the hair dresser outfit was for)
10. Carving pumpkins
11. Hanging out with some of my favorite people in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fries, hot dog, and burger!

Here are a few pictures from Mark's trip. Mostly, he was working hard but found time one night to see some cool things.

SOLD, Ever Unpacking, and Growing Grass!

I realized that my blog posts were getting a little boring. So, for your entertainment pleasure, I have composed a rap for you to perform as you read our blog. Feel free to be creative and get your rappin' skills on......(start with the beat box rapper thing)

The Rappidy Dap Dap of the Tew's

I haven't blogged as of late
So here is our life as to date
We live in the middle of the States
And so far, there are no complaints! :)

We drove up here from very far
From down South in the town of Texar
Since then, Marky hasn't golfed par
Because the golf course back yard is no...mar (must rhyme)

On the way up, we stopped in OK
Lacey listened to Harry Potter the entire way
Mark enjoys his job so they say
Lacey is still job hunting today

We now live with lady who
Let's us live in her basement, foo' (short for fool...learned that one in the south)
On the house hunt..that's what we do
This is the life of Mark and Lacey Tew

OK City Temple

-Getting the grill skills going-
-Labor Day-

We ARE alive!!!

We are safe and sound in our new town. We found a sweet lady who is renting her basement to us until we find either a house or something to rent longer term. However, she doesn't have the internet...how did I EVER survive without it?????? I can't believe how much we rely on the internet until we try going without it for a few days. We make trips to the library a couple times a week to do our business. (side note--she DOES have TV...all of the channels I love...HGTV, Food Network, TLC, etc...heaven)

Mark is enjoying his job as a real businessman! More updates to come.
