HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAILEY!!!!!!!
Aug. 9th



I love this picture of Bailey I have such a beautiful daughter!!!!! more pictures of the wonderful day to come later...... :0)

Cole is a big helper!!!

Excited!

I think I'm more excited then Bailey is about her birthday! It's funny how you become more excited for your childs mild-stones, then your own....I could have cared less about my birthday this year but I'm thrilled to celebrate my kids!



Bailey's birthday is in 1 week and 2 days!!!!!

LOOK AT THEM BOOTS!

I have absolutely fallen in love with these boots! I have always wanted a pair of pointy toe boots and these say Sassy all over!!!! I would love them, wear them, and be so happy if I could actually afford them!!! Sometimes shoe's make me blissfully happy!

Hello Baby!

Here is our cute baby #3! When I went to the doctor I found out that I'm a little farther along than I thought, same thing happened last visit. So I figure this will be a Jan. baby for sure! I'm 12 weeks, the Dr. did not change my due date it's still set for Feb 3rd.


Next month we should be able to see what if it's a boy or girl!

Whats for Dinner?
Dinner last night was Chicken Cesar Salad. I picked the Romain lettuce from our garden and wished I could have done the same for the veggies but they need more time to enjoy! It was so yummy and looks pretty!

I had to share this with everyone! I found this cartoon in today's paper and thought this has to be every mom's issue....I loved it!!

Bailey knows that her birthday is coming up very soon....when ever she is asked what she wants....this is what she tells them..."Princess Cake"! She really only cares about that one thing! I have kept her birthday gift a secret and I can't wait to show her!!! This will be the second year that she has a princess themed party....she thinks they are great!

This is last years cake, she went nuts when she saw it!!!!

Let them eat cake!

From rant to RAVE.....

Ok I have to give a high five to Dove! I bought this yesterday and used it for the first time today and love love loved it.....It makes your skin feel smooth and silky I would totally recommend this to anyone, we are big Dove soap users at our home! If you cant read the picture it's the Gentle Exfoliating body wash and it's divine!

I feel the need to rant about Laundry Detergent!!!So for the last 10 years I've always used Cheer detergent....for some reason I think it works the best and have never wanted to stray from what I've always known....but I don't feel so cheery about my detergent anymore....How many of you have felt less than thrilled with your detergents powers???? I have come to the conclusion that none of them work except straight bleach! Now I know that's not exceptable to use unless I want normal looking clothes but that seems to be the only thing on market! I know that as a mom I wash the same clothes all week long for one reason or another, and after a month of washing what was new is not looking like last years summer outfit....I'm convinced that it's the amount of washing that kills our clothes, and NO detergent is going to save them from utter dingy-ness!!!! Does anyone else feel the same as I????? Or do you have any great suggestions for me?????

4th of July fun!!!!!

Is this not the cutest picture of Bailey??? This was taken on the 4th, by her cousin Jessica!

Good Intentions & Lack of Steam????

There is so much that I want to get done this summer with our home! We need serious organization!!! but we never seem to have the time or money to invest in all the shelves and what not to make it happen not to mention the sewing/baby's room that needs serious help.....I have all these great ideas and ways that I want things to look and go.....but....I seem to run out of steam before I get anything done....and it wouldn't matter if I was preggo or not....does anyone else feel the same way? Do you ever have ideas and they just don't happen, well that's what I'm up against...if I took pictures and showed you are secret mess you would wonder how do you get a round or find anything in that storage room! So I'm hoping that I will be able to follow through with all my great ideas for our lovely home!!!!! I just need to get a hot poker to my cute hubby.....

So yummy!!!!

I have to say I did a bang up job! :0)

Today I'm feeling a little better and have some extra energy!! I was asked to make brownies or cookies for the 4th of July party.....I thought I would go one step farther....I'm making homemade cinnamon rolls with the cinnabon icing....I can taste it now...so good!!!! Pictures will come later....I'm just so happy to have some energy and my tummy not in turmoil!

I know that Michael Jackson was a huge star and a mega Icon, and I do feel sorry for his death....but do we really need minute to minute coverage of every "BREAKING" story or last taped interview......come on news people lets move past this and really report something worthwhile! I think Farrah Fawcett was more worthy of T.V coverage than M.J. Where is her minute to minute coverage, why are we not seeing her waking moments played out on tv over and over again......They are people just like us, let them have some privacy in death, and MOVE ON......

Coles first hair cut!Such a handsome little boy!

he was not a big fan of it....

What a big boy!

Garden Pride

I'm so thrilled with our garden, I love to go outside and look at everything coming up, The lettuce is wonderful and even our little row of corn is making it's way up!!!!! I can't wait to taste the spoils of our hard work!!!

Our massive squash

Roma tomatoes and 1 cherry tomato

Roman lettuce

Our itty bitty baby! So excited for our new addition!

I love easy dinners and this one is great! It's Chicken Enchiladas!

* 1 or 2 chicken breasts cut into chunks
* Salsa
* Frozen corn
* Cheese
* Flour tortillas
* Enchilada sauce

Can this be any cuter??? I love how classic this looks!

This past month Bailey has been seeing if she can fit into small spaces....I usually can't catch her in the act to get a picture, but this time I was quick and I think she looks so funny. The cabinet is very small, she is so funny.....

These are the shirts I made the kids to tell Jason's family we are expecting! I think they turned out really cute!!! :0)

BiG NeWs

Baby #3 due to arrive Feb. 5th!!!!

I really love the colors in this purse!




This is the first time I've used metal feet, I like them!!!

What a great movie!!!


Jason and I watched this over the weekend and both loved it so much....I would recommend this to everyone! It's PG if you can believe it....I love how it shows marriage in it's true form....There are ups and downs but you work through it and look to one another for support. I might even buy this one I liked it that much.... Hollywood actually got this one right!!!!!!!! :0)

Ok I love love love this purse!!!!!!

I just added 2 new beautiful purses to my store, for more pictures and info check out my website!! :0)

Happy Mother's Day!



I often look at my children and think "Did I really create them"? and then I look at each of their personality's and there is no mistaking who they came from....especially Bailey, I know they say "The apple did not fall far from the tree", in Baily's case her's fell right next to the tree!!! Cole is so funny and cuddly I love to sit and hold him and watch him discover new things, it really is amazing how boys & girls play and learn so different....I love my children so much and look forward to extending our family when ever that may be. I can't imagine life with out them! My husband has been such a wonderful support in our family, he keeps things sane! I commend those who are single mom's or dad's. I know that I could not do it alone and need my husband so much, I would cry with out him! I love being a mom and try to be a better one everyday, my children continue to bless me and my husband is the best ever! Happy Mothers day to all you great mom's!!!!

Cole is so funny!
