Ten Guilty Pleasures

What is your guilty please? What is that one little thing in life that makes you super happy? Well, this is what I came up with in no specific order...

1) American Idol

I have to completely honest....I haven't watched a season of AI in years. It never kept my attention but for some reason this year is GREAT. I LOVE it. I don't know if its the judges or great, unique talent but I can't get enough.

2) Dancing With The Stars


I LOVE this show. I don't know if its because I secretly would LOVE to learn how to dance like these guys or what but I can't get enough of this either. I first started watching it 2 years ago when Lochlan was really getting into dancing and I figured she would enjoy watching it. Well, 2 years later we are both addicted to it.

3) Golden Oreo


If I had to chose 1 thing to live off of for the rest of my life it would be Golden Oreo's! And I wouldn't care how fat I got. I would be a Oreo-itian! :)

4) Hugs and Kisses from my kids

There is nothing that can make me happier then kissing and hugging my kids. I love them so much!!

5) Dawson's Creek


DON'T LAUGH!!! I know, its totally lame but I can't help it. I LOVE Dawson's Creek. It makes me happy! :)

6) Facebook/Twitter



So, I'm kinda, sorta, maybe a tad addicted to social networking. Especially that I can pull it up on my phone with just a touch of a button. Is their a rehab for this type of thing? Because I need HELP!!

7) Gossip Magazines/Websites


I LOVE gossip magazines. I would buy them every week if my husband would let me.

8) Target


Talk about TRUE LOVE. I double, no triple HEART this store. And it breaks my heart that the closet one is 35 minutes away. But I go as much as possible. If I'm in Decatur or Fultondale for whatever reason I'll be in Target.

9) Sweet Tea


I am a girl who was born and raised in the south. So, when I order a tea I want it SWEET. It drives me crazy visiting my BFF in Arizona and I go to order a sweet tea and I get the "WTF" look. Its quite embarrassing. But lately I've been on Weight Watchers and I've been ordering UnSweet Tea. No, it isn't the same. But I guess it will have to do.

10) Flip Flops


Last but not least....FLIP FLOPS! I would wear them all year long if I could.

Jaxon's 2nd Birthday Party

I can't believe my baby boy is about to turn two. Where did the time go? It just seems like yesterday I was complaining about being fat and miserable. Now, look at him! He is learning new words everyday! He is so sweet but yet he has the worst temper I've EVER seen!

His birthday party was great, like always! We had the regular people here at the house. Jan Barnett did his gorgeous cake and did amazing job, LIKE ALWAYS! She is so talented.

I hope you had an amazing birthday party, baby boy! We love you so much!!!!!

Isn't this cake AMAZING?!

Birthday boy!




Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Slumber Party

Friday night Lochlan had her very first sleep over. She has been asking for a long time for her cousin, Ella to come over. And I figured this would be the perfect weekend for it.

She got here about 5pm and we immediately loaded up in the car and headed to a really nice park in Hanceville. It was our first time going to that one and I was REALLY impressed. It started getting a little crowded so we decided to go get some supper. After we ate they wanted to go to a different park so we headed off to West Elementary park and played for another good hour. By then it was getting dark, so I rounded up the grew and headed to RedBox to rent a movie and picked out their favorite candy. We got home and Wes had put up a tent in Jaxon's room with a blow up mattress for the girls. We popped popcorn and ate plenty of candy. By 10:30 Ella asked Uncle Wes to turn off movie she was ready for bed.

We really enjoyed Miss Ella! We will have to have her back SOON! Here are a few pictures from our night.



Silly boy

Mama's Song






 Over 4 years ago the most wonderful man walked into my life. I'm so incredibly blessed to have found him! He treats Lochlan like she is his own. What did I ever do to deserve him?! Not quite sure, but I'm not going to complain. 


From the very first time I heard this song it reminded me of myself, Wes and my Mom because I was in a very bad, unhealthy and draining  marriage for 3 years. It wasn't GOOD....AT ALL! But after I had Lochlan I finally realized Loch and I deserved better and got away from it.  Now, 4 years later I have found the answer to my Mom's prayers and I thank the Lord everyday!  
     
               Mama's Song


Mama you taught me to do the right things
So now you have to let your baby fly
You've given me everything that I will need
To make it through this crazy thing called life
And I know you watch me grow up and always want whats best for me
And I think I found the answer to your prayers

And he is good, so good
He treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps 
No he's never gonna leave
So dont you worry about me
Dont you worry about me

Mama theres no way you'll ever lose me
And giving me away is not goodbye
As you watch me walk down to my future, I hope tears of joy are in your eyes

Cuz he is good, so good
He treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps 
No he's never gonna leave
So dont you worry about me
Dont you worry about me

And when I watch my little baby grow I'll only want whats best for her

And I hope she'll find the answer to my prayers
And that she'll say

He is good, so good
He treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps 
No he's never gonna leave
So dont you worry about me
Dont you worry about me

Mama dont you worry about me

Dont you worry about me





Wes, I love you! Thank you for answering our prayers! :)
