Six Quirks Tag

1. If it is dark and I happen to be the last one to go upstairs....I quickly hit the light then run as fast as I can until I get to the top. In 33 yrs of life I've never had the boogie man actually catch me! Phew!

2. Before I go to bed and almost every night at least once during the night I check on each member of my family by placing my hand lightly on their backs to make sure they're still breathing...the other night I even included the dog in this event!

3. I have a really hard time sitting down at my house to watch a movie. The whole time I have to concentrate on not getting up and doing something because it makes Bryan crazy!

4. I'm a hair Nazi. I can't stand for my children to go out in public without their hair looking just right. I have been known to be almost done with Camry's hair and completely start over because of a small bump. (she loves this about me...ha!)

5. I HAVE to read before I fall asleep. Even if it's just one page....I absolutely can't go to sleep unless I read.

6. I chew ice. I know...I know....it's so bad for my teeth. I can't help it, it's just so refreshing!

Making a Fashion Statement

Yesterday when I got home from work I decided to lay down for a little resty. Jace was next to me and he had a page of smiley face stickers in his hand. I took my much needed rest, got up, and carried on with my day. I got the kids an after school snack, made dinner, chatted with my in-laws, went to cub scout pack meeting, attended a cake decorating class at the church, came home, Cami came over for a bit and chatted, and then I was off to bed. I got upstairs and ran my fingers through my hair and low and behold...what do I find? A big green smiley face sticker stuck to the side of my head! Seriously!? I am dying and laughing at the same time that NO ONE told me!? Maybe nobody noticed? Yeah right! Just in case anyone was wondering...the next time I try to make a fashion statement it won't be with a big green smiley face sticker stuck to the side of my head!

Baseball Blankey



I made this quilt for my friend KerrieLeigh's baby, Gannon. This was such a fun quilt to make. Thanks to Holly, my expert quilting buddy, I learned how to quilt these fun stars with my machine. I'm excited to make another one...I think now that I've done it once it won't be so stressful! Thanks a ton Holly!!

My Baby Goes To Kindergarten

Today is a sad day for Mom....my baby went to Kindergarten. I can't believe how fast time went by. I'm so glad that he has a September birthday so that we were able to have that extra year together. He has been so excited for this day. We have been counting down for weeks now. This morning he woke up and couldn't wait to run out the door. On the way into school he wouldn't hold my hand...apparently he grew up in his sleep last night! :(



Jace's Kindergarten Assessment with Mrs. Wyatt

Thank you Grandma Gail for the awesome Pokemon Backpack!
The long awaited day is FINALLY here!! 'Big Kid School' here I come!
Jace's buddy Ethan is in his class....Yay!

Non-Essentials

Jax tagged me. Here are 3 Non-Essentials I would love to have if I had a little extra dough. The rule is to keep them under $100.00.

A Massage.....a really good one for $100.00


A Maid....I'm thinking $100.00 dollars a week would be sufficient for this beauties' services. BTW I would like her to look just like this!


Fall Wardrobe....$100.00 of American Eagle clothes always makes me smile!

Today's Top Ten

I've been tagged with 'My Top Ten'....I'm feeling like 'Today's Top Ten' will be a little easier so here goes:

1. Work Work Work....Love it! Really I do. So fun to be with kids all day...even the bratty ones. Today I did 'double dutch' with a group of girls on the playground and realized how incredibly uncoordinated I really am! Duh!

2. Popcorn....a daily top ten!

3. Mama Mia...here I go again! Loved that movie and love the soundtrack just as much! My carpool and I rock out to this on the way to school everyday!

4. My cute furry little Emmy....Some day's I can hardly believe I spent half my life being an 'animal hater'!

5. Neighbor kids....We live in the BEST neighborhood! The only draw back is there are hardly any girls...but we have no shortage of boys to play with and they are all great kids!

6. My roommate....some of you may know her as Linda...my mother in law. There has never been a better roommate! She cooks, cleans, does my laundry, watches my kids, grocery shops, etc. I don't know what I would have done without her this week! She's the best!

7. Seriously So Blessed....Love this blog! It makes me laugh everyday which Bryan thinks is weird since it's basically making fun of myself! Maybe that's why I love it! I must add that looking at all of my friends blogs are the highlight to every day....especially my old and far away friends.

8. Good Friends....that bring me surprise strawberry shakes and invite themselves over to my house to do puzzles and watch movies....ya you know who you are, Cami! Had tons of fun...love you guys!

9. Our Garden....I am loving all of my homegrown vegetables, especially my tomatoes. Wish my mom lived closer to share them with me!

10. Last but not least....I'm going to go with my DVR. What in the world did we do without these things!? As I was skipping the commercials of the new episode of 'Jon and Kate Plus 8' that btw I recorded on Monday, I realized how cool that little machine really is!
