Are You Ready For The Weekend????

TGIF!!!!!! I don't know about you, but it's been a long week here!! A crabby princess, mommy not feeling so good, and getting nothing accomplished all week has made the week too long!! Hopefully the weekend will go just as slow!!

I got these photo's of the princess earlier in the week. She's getting good a posing for her mommy!! She's starting to ham it up now!! Good thing she is so cute, cause man, she's had attitude this week!! She's on a hitting kick and she even bit her little friend that she loves to pieces!!!! Needless to say I was NOT happy!! The thing I don't get, when she bit her friend, she wasn't fighting with her, they were playing great. So why in the heck would she bite her?????? So we've spent the week trying to reason with a 2 year old, at least now when we ask her if she supposed to bite, she says no. That's an improvement from before when she would say yes!! It's amazing how cute, sweet and wonderful she can be, but then be such a stinker too!!! Good thing she is sooooo loved!!!

Here's the one layout I got done this week. It didn't turn out the way I had it in my head, but that's ok, it will have to do!! We took Lily last year to the Summer Celebration to see Chris Daughtry. She had so much fun people watching and dancing to the music. You know I HAD to buy her a t shirt!!! (even if it is 20 sizes to big) You've got to start a girl out early so she can be a concert junkie like her mommy!!

Speaking of concerts, a big shout out to Tracy and Lori for getting our tickets to see Kenny Chesney!!! Tracy, Lori, my sister and I have been going for the last 4 or 5 years to see Kenny!! We wouldn't miss him for anything!! We always have so much fun!!! So thanks again Trac and Lori for getting the tickets for us!!

We are starting some respite care for another foster family tonight. We will have their 6 month old foster daughter for the next two weeks. It will be fun to have a little one around again!!

Not much going on this weekend, just playing catch up on all the things I should have done this week!!!

Have a great weekend!!

Big Girl Bedding!

My baby got her big girl bedding finally!! It turned out so cute!!! I love the Disco Dot!! She thinks she is such a big girl now!!

This weekend was pretty uneventful for us. I didn't manage to get all I wanted to get done, done but oh well, it'll still be there when I get to it!

We spent Saturday night at Mom and Dad's, we played a little cards, Mom and I stamped and Dad Rob and Lily got to hang out. Nothing exciting but just getting to hang with the family is something I love to do!

If you get the chance, be sure to check out this blog of Wilna. She has a friend who has recently been diagnosed with cancer and she is asking people to make cards and send them out to Lois. This is such a wonderful thing to do! It would only take 10 mins of your time, and will put a smile on Lois' face! Knowing what she's going through, any smile you get it a wonderful thing!!

Here is my card that I made for Lois:

Here are the two lo's that I got done of my peanut!





This last lo was done with the Rainbow Sushi collection over at SIStv. One of our very own Fashionista's Ashley Wren designed this collection and I had so much fun using it for this lo!

Have a great Monday everybody!!

Friday Fill-Ins!

Just had to share a photo with you (of course). Yes, I do dress my child! This is what I call White Trash Lily!! She was playing in her room and this is how she came out, stripped down looking WT!!! She was so proud!!

Once again nothing exciting here. Lily's bedding that I had made in the middle of January should be here today, I can't wait to see it!!! I have a house to clean and carpets to clean this weekend!! YUCK!! Hope you all have a much more exciting day than I!!!!!!!!!

1. Seeing new things is the best thing about traveling.
2. I love a good nap covered in a down throw when I'm cold.
3. I often use toothpaste.
4. I'm reading Valley of Silence, by Nora Roberts right now; I like it.
5. Death is something I dislike talking about.
6. When I visited Florida I most looked forward to seeing the ocean.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to hanging out with Rob and Lily, tomorrow my plans include Stampin' with a good friend and Sunday, I want to clean carpets and relax!

Happy Friday!!

Freedom!!!!

Thought I would share this lo with you all that I did for Sasha's Wednesday challenge last night. I very rarely scrap about me or my feelings, and heck I hate photos of myself. But I'm going to try to keep up with this. Thanks Sasha for put this out there!!! (you can click on the layout to view it full size)

Not much else going on this week, a pretty slow week! I have managed to get 3 layouts done, but that's about it. Hopefully, I'll have something more exciting to share tomorrow!!

Nothing Much.....

Nothing much going on, not even photos to share with you! I've been lazy! I am so tired today, to keep myself busy the kids and I have made 2 batches of RiceKrispie treats, I've made a loaf of banana bread, 2 loads of laundry done and now my update. I could not sleep last night, I remember looking at the clock at 3:12 am, ughhhhhh!! I know that it's my own fault, I thought I needed a nap yesterday during the race, well, a quick nap turned into a 3 hour nap!!! I had sworn off Sunday naps just because I no better, but yesterday it was just calling my name!!

Friday night we took Lily to get her 2 year pictures done. Finally!! Well I decided to be cheap (or so I thought), so I made an appt. at Walmart. Never again!!! Number one we had an appt. for 6:30 pm so we got there about 10 mins early and checked in. They were doing one families photos, with another family waiting. We were told it would be awhile, I think we got her photos done a little after 7. Needless to say, the family that was waiting, was a walk-in???? So what the hell did I have an appt. for??? Normally this really doesn't bother me, but you can only keep a 2 year old occupied in Walmart for so long before they get pissed!!! So pictures come, ok, Lily is doing really good, but the backgrounds suck, they just aren't real creative with her. Oh well, I think, I'll just get that cheap 7 dollar deal and add a couple of sheets then we'll go back to Sears. So the 7 dollar deal is the very first photo they take, which is with the number 2. I just think it's gaudy. They're number 2 is tiny then they throw down some curled ribbon. Anyhow, so I go to order the photos I ask how much the sheets are extra. Ok, here's were they get ya... are you ready for this?...20 dollars a sheet. You've got to be effin kidding me!!!!!!! I know at Sears you have to buy like 6 for 7.99 a sheet, then after that they are 2.99 a sheet. So being the sucker that I am, cause I just love photos of my princess, I ordered a package, plus an extra and it cost me 134.00!!!! Dude, I usually spend about 150.00, so it's not really the price, just the fact that if I had gone to Sears like normal, I would have had choices of a ton of backgrounds, a change of clothes, been there for as long as I wanted to get the best shots, got more sheets of photos and I would have only paid 20 bucks more.!!! They did get one really awesome shot of her, close up that I love!!! had it not been for that shot, I probably would have just got the 7.00 dollar deal and gone to Sears. Oh Well, live and learn. I'm done venting now!!!!! I'll share them with you all when they come in. Thanks for listening!!

Saturday was a crazy day for us. We had a Birthday Party for sweet little Delanie who turned 1. We went from the party to go have our taxes done, from having our taxes done to drop Lily off with Jen and Kaylea, then to a Suchecki bowling night. We got home a midnight, and dang I was tired then too!!! (do you see a pattern??)

Looking forward to our tax return, so we can start getting the supplies needed to put a new roof on this Spring.

Not much else going on, I have to close the daycare on Wednesday as I have a 1 year check up with my Oncologist on Wednesday in GR. Don't know why these things make me so nervous???? I've been cancer free for almost 7 years, I'm sure that I'm fine!! We are going to have a little fun though, Lily and my Mom are going with me and after my appt. we are taking Lily to Build a Bear for some new outfits for her bear.

Hope you all had a great weekend!!!! Have a great week!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Just a couple of photos of Lily this morning in her Valentine outfit.

This one cracks me up, she looks like a little model, serious face and all!

Happy Valentine's Day Everybody!!

Not much going on here today. Daddy, Lily and I are going to have a candlelight dinner tonight. We're just going to hang out! We have a daycare party, so that means lots of crazy excited kids. I'll be ready for it to be over by the end of the day!

Wishing you all a day surrounded by people you love!!

Monday, Monday!!

Just a quick recap on the dress drama. I'll have you know I did NOT find a dress!! So instead I bought a pair of black cuffed gouchos and black with white stitching jacket and the cutest shoes ever!!!! I mean really, it's all about the shoes right?? Seriously, these are my new favorites!! I do have to tell you that wearing them for 7 hours, dancing, etc. they are NOT comfortable at all!!! Sometimes a girl has to sacrafice!!

When we dropped Lily off at Mom and Dad's for the night, I had Mom snap a quick photo of us to share. Nope you can't really see the outfit or the shoes!

We have once again been hit by a snow storm!!! We didn't leave home at all yesterday except to pick Lily up. The temp here was -1 with a wind chill of -21. I mean come on, enough all ready!!

Nothing much going on this week! Hope to keep it simple!!

Have a great week!

Dress Drama and Friday Fill In's

Remember how I told ya'll that I had a formal dance tomorrow night and I didn't have anything to wear???? Well, guess what??? I still don't and it's one day away!!! AGHHHHHH!! I tried on two dresses that I borrowed from a friend, and of course they don't fit!!! Guess I'm off tonight to see if I can find a last minute cheap dress!!! Leave it to me to wait until last minute!!

I've seen these Friday Fill Ins on lots of others blogs, so I thought I would check it out, so here goes..

1. The last compliment I got was from Kaelyn (daycare little one) ; she said you look pretty today LoLo
.
2. I'm reading Valley of Silence by Nora Roberts.

3. I woke up today and thought I'm tired, can I go back to bed??

4. Why does it have to snow more, I'm ready for spring!

5. The last thing I ate was a pizza roll.

6. January... flew by!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to two days of no work tomorrow my plans include Sorority Dance and Sunday, I want to scrap!!

Have a Good Weekend!!

Ready Set Sled...

Man, I try to keep up on this blog, but seriously, we just don't leave a very exciting life!!

We took Lily sledding at Papa and Grammy's house on Saturday afternoon. She loved it!!! We were outside for about an hour and I think she could have stayed out for another hour. She loved when she got to the bottom of the driveway and "crashed" into the side and could sit and eat snow!!

Papa getting ready to give Lily a push

Heading down the driveway

Lily only wanted to pulled back up by Papa! The rest of us had to bribe her to get our turn

She DID let her Daddy!! Must be the awesome men in her life!

Snow Eating Break

A quick family shot

We got a big ol' winter blast today. I would say we got about 6-8 more inches. I love snow, but I have to say, ENOUGH already!!

Rob and I will be heading out on Saturday evening for my sorority formal dance. Mom and Dad will have Lily and we get to get all gussied up for a night. The problem??? I have no idea what I am going to wear and today is Wednesday!!! That is just so typical of me!! I have 2 dresses to try on that I borrowed from a friend, hoping one of those fit!! Wish me luck!! I just don't want to have to go buy a dress for this body of mine!! I'm on a clothes buying freeze until I loose some weight!! Damn, wish me luck there too because I have NO motivation!!! Anyone have any for me???

Happy Birthday Auntie Robynn!!!

Happy Birthday Auntie Robynn
We Love You!!!

Gotta shout out to my Sister, but seriously, She never lets me take a photo of her, so this is what she gets. This photo was taken on New Years Eve after she picked up Rob and I and some friends from the bar. I'm sure she really wasn't impressed with us, but she handled it well!!!

Robynn, I want only the best for you in your last year before 30!!! Oh yea, one more thing, I want a niece or nephew this year and Lily wants a cousin!!!!

WE LOVE YOU!!!

Super Bowl Sunday!!

What is everyone doing today??? Are you watching the big game??? Who are you routing for??? I have to say I'll be routing for the Giants!! Eli Manning is not my favorite, but since my team is not there, I've got to route for the underdog! Yes Tom Brady is DAMN good and not to mention good to look at, and the Pats will probably win, but hey, I'm a sucker for the underdog!!

We are heading to my mom and dad's to watch the game. Rob is in the kitchen as I type making a venison roast to take over. (no I will not be eating it, yuck!!) Dad, Rob and Lily will like it though!!

Not much else been going on, we took Lily sledding at Papa and Grammy's yesterday so I will have photos tomorrow!

Hope you all had a great weekend and GO Giants!!
