Murder Mystery

Jason Shore — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 12:00:08 +0000

In January, to celebrate Mom & Mrs. Howard’s birthdays we had a fun murder mystery party. The theme was Way Out West. Jason was the Judge and I was a Midwest Railroad rep. We had a fun time playing out our characters and sharing the night with old friends. Here are some pics from the evening:

Dining Room Update

We decided to update the dining room this winter with a new floor, paint and other updates. We got up early on Black Friday to get the flooring 1/2 off. Then Jason & his Dad ripped up the old carpet & put down the floor. We also painted, patched and painted the windows, put in a new fan & built a new wall. Jason did a great job & the room looks great.

Before: good bye ugly carpet

After! Amazing. I love the new floor & everything about the room

Grant’s baptism

Jason Shore — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 12:00:04 +0000

This weekend we went to Chicago to see our nephew, Grant, be baptized. We had a great weekend sharing time with family and celebrating this wonderful occasion. Grant was so good. He was quiet the whole service and didn’t seem to mind the water at all. We were so thankful to be apart of this special day.

Jason’s awesome app

Christmas 2009

We’ve been kinda quiet the last few months. Not much is new. We enjoyed a nice Christmas with both of our families. We also went to the last Colt’s home game of the season. We are blessed to have our wonderful families & friends so close.

Meet Grant Murray

We had the joy of meeting our newest nephew this weekend – Grant. He’s almost a month old and super cute. We enjoyed visiting with his mommy (Nikki) too. Can’t wait to get to know this little guy as he grows up. Congrats Nikki & Andy. He’s a sweetheart.

Uncle Jason & Grant spend some time cuddling up. Grant sports his Purdue gear in honor of the game. Go Boilers!

Apple Orchard

We made our yearly trip to pick apples at the local orchard and had a great time. We enjoyed climbing trees, the wonderful weather and of course apple cider slushies.

Thanks Anderson Orchard. We had a great time!!

401 Reunion

Jason Shore — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 02:38:46 +0000

Sunday I went up to my alma mater, Purdue, to visit with the girls I lived with in college. It had been too long since we’d all been together and we had a great time catching up and sharing what’s been going on. We even went and toured the house, “401″, we lived in and sat in our “old” seats. What a fun, fun trip down memory lane.

I had a great time seeing you guys. Love you!!

We all smile at the sign. L to R

What we did over Labor Day weekend

Jason Shore — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 02:33:42 +0000

Lately I have been asking Jason to get some new artwork that matches our living room. What we had was really nice, just orange and black which didn’t really match our blue/brown theme. I looked on the Internet and found some paintings I liked which ended up totaling around $600. We didn’t need to do much soul searching to veto that idea quick.

Luckily, I am married to an extremely talented and creative man who was able to make 4 paintings that honestly I feel are better quality than the ones we could buy. We spent Labor day weekend planning, buying, painting (well only Jason painted), making frames and then hanging. The finished product is stunning. I am so proud of Jason – he does amazing work. And bonus we did everything for under $70.

Happy Birthday Jason

Jason Shore — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 12:00:03 +0000

We celebrated Jason’s birthday Thursday with taco dip, wings, Colts football and angel food cake. It was a fun, low key evening of just hanging out.

Birthday cake #4 is the best yet! (Check out the heart sprinkles)

Happy 28th birthday to the love of my life. I am so blessed to have you as my husband. Love you and wish you many more happy birthdays to come!
