The Mother of all Water Heaters

The Mother of all Water Heaters has been installed thanks to my amazing husband Brandon and help from an old friend Adam Abts. First, I cannot thank Adam enough for coming over and lending a hand. It meant a lot. Thank you too his wife too for letting him come over. This water heater is really cool, it is a Hybrid from GE. I am super excited, and will be even more excited if it truly cuts my electric bill some! I will let you all know the outcome for that.

This morning was baseball tryouts. I did not take my camera because of the rain, but it was a lot of fun. Brandon is coaching John Michael's team, and they will meet tomorrow to chose teams. I am excited to watch my little man grow. Danny's team was picked today, and he is on Cale Webb's team. It should be a lot of fun. Danny loves baseball and I know that he will grow so much this year. I am looking forward to watching all of his games too, hopefully they will not have games at the same time. Missing one or the other is not something that I want to ever have to do. They start practice this week so expect a lot of baseball pictures in the upcoming blogs, especially once games begin. But I do think that this is where we temporarily change our address to the ballpark. Great memories coming.

I had a photo session today for a first birthday and it was a lot of fun. It was an old friends little girl, Ashlyn, and she is a doll. Tomorrow a baptism. I am looking forward to working on all of these pictures. I love photography and when I am able to capture memories for others that I know will last a lifetime and more for them means everything to me. Watch the other blog for more on each of these amazing sessions.

Well it is after 10, but I am off to bed. I am worn out. Rainy days are the best for a nap, but that was not in the cards. It is all good though. Before I go to bed as always I will be remembering all of you in my prayers. I hope that this Saturday was full of fun, laughter and love for you all. I was very blessed to see two friends that I have not seen in years.

Early Birthday Gifts

Who doesn't like a surprises every now and then? Brandon and I gave each other things for our business for our birthday. Of course that means that the tax refund is gone, but if we can start making some extra money it will all be worth it.

Brandon's video camera, and all his necessary gadgets came in yesterday. He charged the batteries and all that jazz today.

Well he surprised me with a HUGE box and inside was 2 complete light kits! I am super pumped. Learning more about lighting is something I have been wanting to do and now I can. I cannot wait to play with it all. I would have today but today was about house obstacles.

On our way to school this morning Danny had an asthma attack. Usually they are not too bad, and he can still go to school, but this one was rough so we came on home and he laid around all morning. I talked to his doctor and hopefully he is going to be okay. This is going to be a rough season I think. Praying that my boy gets some relief soon!

Well, we had a plumber out today. He had to replace the regulator valve, but the water heater just seemed to be too much for him. Well, he did not have what we wanted and what he had...which was lower grade than what we wanted was going to cost WAY too much, so we went on a water heater hunt. The goal was to go tankless, but the fact that we are electric and do not even have as running to the house seems to be a very unusual thing. Since nobody had them in stock or even knew much about them we decided to stick with a tank instead of being the test dummies for electric tankless water heaters. We did upgrade though to a Hybrid version and I am excited. Tax write off for 2011 and it should save us some on our bill, which is always nice. Now to install it tomorrow. While I am off doing photos at a first birthday party Brandon will work on it. Hopefully I come home to hot water! Update will come tomorrow! Stay tuned for more.

We have baseball tryouts in the morning, so we are headed to bed. I just wish it was earlier. I am pooped! Before I go to bed I will remember all of my friends and family in my prayers. I hope that everyone has an amazing weekend.
