To any friends that care at all that I havent been blogging much, sorry Ive been hanging out with the kids in Forks. :) I'll be back, but I dont think Ill ever be any good at blogging. I do have a new thing I am going to try though. Thanks to the twiwidower I was on blogspot which took me to Valeries page where I noticed a Love Dare thing that she did in Feburary. Coty hurt his back and spent all

The boys were easy to shop for this year. Logan wanted a lot of Scooby Doo movies from Santa and couldn't think of anything else and Dylan asked for Pixos. Neither one needed or expected anything more(although they did announce that next christmas they were going to ask for whatever was on each commercial that came on.) Santa got them each what they had asked for and under the tree, in a big

She's one of my Coworkers at Sids. She asked me what I wore on Monday. I wore the same walmart shorts and Tinkerbell shirt I have worn 8 of 10 shifts since last spring. The only difference was my socks. I bought a bunch of knee high socks and debuted my first pair Monday. I used to wear them a lot in college but havent since. I felt a little silly, but with cold weather outside and hard hot work

I am always so behind on this blogging stuff. Jeez. I even went to the extreme of pre dating some, but then who will ever see those? I dunno. If I put them all out of order then it doesnt make a very good archive of my life...hmm. I guess it doesnt really matter if no one but me is reading anyway, so I will do it the way I scrapbook. I will make a page when I think of it, then plug it in

As part of my choice to be a stay at home mom, I have accepted the fact that we will have no extra money. Coty makes enough to pay the bills and my job is to squeeze a little more out of what comes in. I am crafty when I need to be and I can cook pretty well(Coty says I never use enough salt) and I am a serious bargain hunter (if its not at least 75% off I dont need it).Lately I have been feeling

So my BFF decided she wants to learn to crochet. "I know how to crochet," I told her, "I'll teach you!" but alas I don't.I can make a straight chain and I have forgotten everything else my grandmother taught me. :(I bought Summer the Happy Hooker book for he birthday and Myself The Crochet Answer Book. We are going to teach each other and be champs in no time. Everyone will be getting yarn gifts

out of a pumpkin! and it was good!Coty seriously laughed at me for trying to pretend that I hadn't used pie filling. It came out very much like a real pumpkin pie. The boys and I pulled the guts out together and ate dinner while the pumpkin cooked then we peeled off the skins and took turns adding ingredients and using the mixer. Poured it into a couple of pie pans and watched a movie, then

Dylan's teacher is having a baby. Its a girl. Her room will be pink and brown and her name will be Addison. I wanted to girl her a nice gift and decided to make a blanket. After shopping for the perfect zebra striped pink and brown striped fabric, I gave up and went for solid colors of fleece and the easy no sew method. Then it seemed lame. So I decided it needed a mongram. (which made it no

Every year for the past four years we have taken pics of the boys at the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch. I have scoured the computer and can't find 2006, but check out these cuties!

Seriously I am still out here, just busy. So I am going to post a couple of weeks worth today. :) I wish I could fake the dates on these so it wouldn't be so obvious.

This is the Barack Obama I can relate to. He seems so real. Not a born with a silver spoon, looking for his parents or good ol boys to pave him the easy way, but someone who is actually one of the real people in this country. Someone who has had to work for what he has and will continue to work for what he believes can be accomplished. I found this pic at http://digitaljournalist.org/issue0810/

Monday morning Dylan and I had a little extra time. I had already dropped Logan at Daycare so it was just the two of us and we had a nice leisurely walk to school together. We were holding hands and singing the whole way. It was so nice that I even made a mental note to myself *Remember this moment. You will not be the most special woman in your little boy's life forever. Savor it while you can.*

Here's pics from our Halloween party! I believe in making all of our costumes which is usually awesome, but this year I got so carried away with the boys superwhy costumes that I all but ran out of time for ours! They came out well though. Its all about accessories :)I guess I'm a cowfairygirl? That can only keep one eye open?Geez. It took me way too long to recover from the big party. I am

Logan asked me several times for some strawberry milk and he had just had some, so I was putting him off. After quite a few requests, he decided to try reverse psychology on me."Hey, Mommy! Do you see how small that door is?" "Do you tink you tan fit trough it to the kitchen?" "I tink you're too bid to fit trough that door to get my trawberry milt"LOL!I am a bit larger than I wish I was, but

*sigh* I don't know how it could be possible or why it's happening so fast, but Dylan is turning into such a "big kid." Every day I catch him acting more mature and thoughtful. He is getting too big for his size five pants(no more shopping in the cheaper department) He has this whole life that has very little to do with me at school-at least I get to be a room mom :) He is usually the starting

Logan is really growing up over the last few weeks. He is becoming a big kid more and more every day. He decided he wants to play tee ball like Dylan but is not old enough yet so he plays blast ball. That kid is so enthusiastic and really gives it his best! I can see him going far with sports. He is also starting to show his intelligence more too. He used to always just look to Dylan to answer

So Dylan's in school. That seems so crazy to me. I am not old enough to be a card carrying member of the PTA! He is doing so well. He says he's the smartest kid in his class and I believe him ♥For the whole first month, I felt so excluded and unimportant in this new world of his, but I have gradually found ways to get more involved. I may have even taken on a bit much. I volunteered to help

My birthday is the start of my very own new year, so I am going to try to take that and make something of it. Here are my New Years resolutions:1. Take responsibilty for my emotionsI can't let people make me feel bad or count on them to boost me up when ultimately my feelings are just about me and not anyone else's responsibility--seriously.2. Be a better HousekeeperMy carreer choice is to be a

My first blog-it looks fun, but what am I s'posed to do? hmm Ok so Ive got some colors picked and a silly caption picture, but I think I'll practice a while before I share with friends...Today is my Birthday!I've decided to look at it as a new years day. A new me. I am going to make an honest effort to take better care of myself for a change. Being a self sacrificing martyr helps no one-not
