Day 1

This is me!

I bought the kids a slip and slide! They played on it ALL afternoon!

After the kids got done playing we decided to build a small camp fire and roast hot dogs and marshmellows and make s'mores. We had a nice little picnic in the backyard.  I am so blessed to have a wonderful little family!

Hopes, Dreams, and Other Things..

Wes and I talk about what we want and dream about for the future almost daily. Its fun to day dream, right? Here are some of MY hopes for the future.

I want a BIG house!




Sitting in the middle of about 40 or more acres. This is more of Wes' dream then my own but being Mr and Mrs I want what makes my hubby happy! So, if its 40 acres of useless land....ANYTHING FOR HIM! :)

Kitchen with tons of open counter space and island.




Bathroom with a huge garden tub



How awesome is this bathroom? We could NEVER keep
it this clean! Haha

Range Rover (Who doesn't dream about this car???)



I know this will NEVER happen in a million years, unless we
win the lottery. But a sista can dream, RIGHT?!

Realistic dream car



I love Avalanches!! I'm definitely a Chevy girl!



Dreams for my kids..

Lots of $$$$$ for them to go to any college they want. 

To be whatever they want to be in life. I just want them to be HAPPY!!

And today's post is brought to you by PROCRASTINATION!!!!! Lets get back to cleaning...

Wishin' I was knee deep in the water somewhere....

This is all I can think about today! Sitting on the beach with the only worry in the world is the tide going to reach my chair?!? READY FOR THE BEACH!!


I've got the song "Knee Deep" by Zac Brown Band in my head!







Gonna put the the world away for a minute
Pretend I don't live in it
Sunshine gonna wash my blues away

Had sweet love but I lost it
She got too close so I fought her
Now I'm lost in the world trying to find me a better way

Wishing I was knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze and it don't seem fair
Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy 
Never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise

Wrote a note said be back in a minute
Bought a boat and I sailed off in it
Don't think anybody gonna miss me anyway

Mind on a permanent vacation
The ocean is my only medication
Wishing my condition ain't ever gonna go away

Cause now im knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/z/zac-brown-band-lyrics/knee-deep-lyrics.html ]
Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy 
Never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise

This champagne shore washing over me
It's a sweet sweet life living by the salty sea
One day you could be as lost as me
Change you're geography 
Maybe you might be

Knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair
Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy 
Never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise

Come on in the water it's nice
Find yourself a little slice
Grab a backpack realize 
You never know until you try 
When you lose yourself
You find the key to paradise

Anyone have a Xanax?!

My sweet innocent baby boy has turned into a monster. All he does is scream, whine, hit, pinch or throw massive temper tantrums. What happened to my angel? He used to cuddle and love on me all the time. Now, I hardly get to see him smile. My nerves are shot and on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

It's IMPOSSIBLE to go shopping or out to eat with him because if he doesn't get his way he will throw himself on the floor and throw a fit or start screaming on the top of his lungs. I've tried spanking and time outs. Nothing is working!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Any suggestions or advice? I will take ANY!

I desperately want my sweet baby back!!
If anyone sees him please send him back home!!

Love at first sight!

Welp, its official! I've jumped on the iPhone train! And its TRUE LOVE! A few months ago I was available for an upgrade and I was desperate for a new phone so I went up to Verizon and got the Samsung Fascinate. It was so much better then my Droid. But wouldn't you know ONE WEEK later Verizon announced they were getting iPhone 4! What the crap?! So, of course the hubs was first in line to get it for himself. BOO!

About a year ago we had added an extra line to our account, for what reason...WHO KNOWS? But we discovered 3 nights ago that we could get an early upgrade on it! SWEET! Wes had been wanting to get me an iPhone since he got one. So, he immediately drove to Verizon and got it for me! I LOVE YOU, SWEETIE!!!!





WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?

Birdie Baby Shower

Saturday was Heather (Bice) and Steve Bosse's baby shower. It was bird themed and my mother went NUTS over it. I honestly think she should be a party planner. She did an amazing job.

Heather and Steve live in Tucson, AZ so planning was a bit difficult. We had to work around Steve's schedule because he is a lawyer and a very busy guy and also we had to make sure Heather wasn't too far along where she couldn't fly! So, we set the date for April 2nd. She is around 25 weeks so it was perfect.

We couldn't have been more blessed with the weather. A little breezy but it was 71 degrees and PERFECT! Since Heather missed Thanksgiving she wanted a potluck style shower. So, everyone brought their favorite Thanksgiving side dish. We had EVERYTHING...Ham, dressing, cranberry sauce and every kind of casserole you could think of.

Also, since they live in Arizona we decided for everyone to only bring a gift card or a very small item. Some people didn't like it because it wasn't personal enough but shipping is expensive.

We had a great turn out and had a wonderful time.
