Yard makeover....

Woah.....did it need it! With Chris gone out of town, and me working and handling everything on my own, i have been neglecting my yard. i decided it was time for an update. It looks so much better! I am very happy with the results of my hard work. It was a hot sob, but it was well worth it!!

So So So much better! Now i just need to get my backyard projects done!!! :)

Gymnastics!

This week, the little guys got to start gymnastics. Both of them! I have been wanting to get them into something, but something that they both can do and enjoy. So, we decided on gymnastics. Along with there cousin, Aumora. They started on Monday, and they absolutely LOVED it. Deakon loved it so much he cried and didn't want to leave. Its so hard to explain to a toddler they get to come back next week and them understand what you mean. :)

Little stinkers! Love all my babies!



First big boo boo....

Bubba got his big first boo boo. They were watching cartoons in mommy and daddy's bed which they love to do. He went to jump off the foot of the bed to the floor and went to far. Hit the dresser and split his head open right between his little eyes. After about 5 minutes of sheer panic and terror, I got him loaded in the car only to not know where my keys were. Farren found my keys and when i got my car started, I realized I had no clue where my purse was!?!?!? Holy bajesus, one frazzled momma. Luckily, Farren was on her way out of the house with it. Thank goodness. :) Anyway, we got the ER and they took us straight back once they saw the bloody mess the two of us were. They were able to get him cleaned up and numbed up fine, but when it came time for the stitches, he was having no part of that. Finally, after 5 of us holding him down, and about 30 minutes, the doctor was able to get 2 stitches in. Which neither were tight enough. They contemplated sending us downtown to sedate him and put more in. But, I was not comfortable with sedating him. Anywho, I'm hoping the scar isn't TOO bad. We shall see. He seems to be doing just fine and is still acting like his normal maniac self. :0 Love that little guy!!!

Hope you are all having a great week!!

Kiddos...

Seems like we are always busy and don't have time for anything. :) Especially blogging, which i really would like to keep up with more! Just our daily routine seems to be exhausting sometimes. There is so much and so many things to do between myself and three kids.  Anywho, we went to the Cats game recently, it ended up getting cancelled because it rained and the field was to wet. Boo!!! But, that just means we will be able to go back again. The kids absolutely loved being at the "big" field. They thought it wasn't the coolest thing in the world. My company had food and a picnic in the park before the game, and that was alot of fun too.

I love that i have a little boy that can wear hats. I think it is too stinking cute! Notice Farren is wearing a hat too in the background. :) Keagan is WAY to girly for that. I love that I have both sides.

 

This week was also the first day of school for Farren. I can't believe she is a sophmore in High school and how much she has grown up! It blows my mind. :( So far, she seems to be liking her classes, but working out last period is kicking her butt. I keep telling her thats what she gets for being lazy all summer long. :) Heres a picture of her and Paige on the first day. I'm still not sure i like this hair color thing. Too crazy for me. At least its only temporary right?!?!?!

 

Anywho, my sister is also redoing my moms shop for her. Since she is off on fridays she goes up there while my kids are there with my mom to work. I got this cute little picture of this handsome little helper. How cute is he????

 

 

 Love my babies! They put a smile on my face everyday!

Congratulations!

So, after 17 years, 3 kids, and lots and lots of memories, my best friend decided to finally tie the knot! Love both of these guys and their kiddos with all my heart. I have been priveleged enough to be a part of her life since we were in 6th grade, and she has been by my side and i by hers since then. I have been lucky enough to be there for all 3 of her babies birth. I have known her hubby since we were in kindergarten, and was able to introduce them our freshman year of high school. Who would of thunk it would of turned into this?

 I am so happy for you guys, love you both Sharie and Jason!!!!

Update

We have been running around like crazy and seemed to be booked every weekend with SOMETHING. Which means, less time to keep up with my blog. :(
We are all doing good. This weekend is going to be Deakon's 3rd birthday and birthday party. I can't believe my little guy is going to be 3! This guy is such a handful, and I honestly feel sorry for whoever gets him in his kindergarten class. :) He loves loves loves to test the limits, and can't wait for you to look away so he can get in to something, or climb on something, or jump off something. Not sure if all little boys are like this, but mine sure is! Nothing like his sweet sisters, but he is still a sweet momma's boy when he wants to be. And I love that!

Last weekend we had Sharies Bachelorette Party. Lots of fun! I picked up her and a few other girls and we headed to the Gaylord at 3, checked in our room and then headed to Paradise Springs. Paradise Springs is the water park at the Gaylord, and that place is pretty cool. We floated the lazy river land the girls had a few buckets of beer before we headed back to the room to shower and get ready. Once we were ready, we headed down to Texan Station for dinner and drinks and to meet the rest of the group. From there, we took a shuttle to the Glass Cactus, which was fun in itself! I could rode the shuttle all night long!  It was  good time, and I think Sharie had a good time too. She was able to get on stage with Le Freak and dance. I do think she was payinf for it come Sunday though. :)

Anyway, thought I would share a few pics from recently.

 For somre reason, when i want them to say cheese, they are tempted to lean there head back! LOL

 My little man be his preppy little self, minus the hat he had on. :)

 Sissy went out of town to the coast with Grannie and Pop Pop, so Bubba decided he needed a pink cart because that is what sissy would want! Silly boy!

 My little guys heading off for the day!

Some of the girls for the bachelorette party!

 Riding the bus to the Glass Cactus! Yes, you can drink on the shuttle!

 Me and the Bride to be!

 And another group shot! The big day will be here for these guys before you know it. Finally getting married after 16 years!!! Sheesh!!!

Hope everyone is having fabulous week and has a fabulous weekend!

Overload Update....

Hmmmm, well lets see. Lots going on at our house. Like usual! But mainly we have been working on redoing our kitchen. Which i absolutely am loving at the moment. It turned out so different from what it was before.

Here is what it looked like before. Ugghhhh!

And here is the after, soooooo much better!!! We redid the cabinets, the counter tops, repainted the walls,and added an island\table. It is so much roomier and i love it so much better. All in all, it cost about $300.00 for the makeover, thanks to DIY stuff!!

Love it!

Next I am working on my bathroom. It has been the same since we moved in the house, and well its time for a change! So, hopefully, i will have pics for that soon.

Also going on in our world, Deakon's tubes fell out of his ears about a month ago. Well, a week ago, thursday night, he comes into my room screaming at like 1 in the morning, saying that his ear hurts. FABULOUS! I took him in to see Dr. Shori on friday and poor guy had a double ear infection, allergies, and PINK eye. :(  Poor baby. He hasn't been sick one single time in the last 18 months that he has had his tubes in. I am really hoping that this is an isolated issue and that the ears aren't going to continue to be a problem. We got some meds in him an I am hoping he is going to start feeling better soon. He is still a happy camper and still as hyper as can be.

I love his cheesy smile, this is what i get when i ask him to smile. :)

We had Farren's party this weekend and she wanted to play Minute to Win it Games, with her colors for the party in red and black, and a zombie cake. None of which go together!!! But we made it work and she loved her cake. This guy must of died playing Minute to Win it! lol

In other new stuff, honey got a new tattoo. He and Kyle used to love Five Finger Death Punch, and they loved the cover of one of there albums, so he decided to get that. He is in love with it, and I must admit, I love my tatted up man. :)

Anyways, hope everyone is having a great week, thats a little update on us.



Happy Birthday!

I missed this post a few days back, we have been remodeling our kitchen and a few other projects around the house, and well, I forgot to put this up. Farren turned 15 on the 9th. O......M......G!!!!! Where in the world has the time gone? I still blows my mind that she is 15. She is literally almost the age i was when i had her, ha! Anyway, she has turned in to quite the little lady. I love her and her personality and her humor. She definitely has her dads sense of humor, I only wish he was here to share that with her. I see ALOT of him in her the older she gets. I love that she loves her momma too, and well she looks exactly like me. She is a excellent combination of the two of us. She doesn't mind helping me around the house, or with the kids, or with laundry, or what ever it may be. And she loves to play video games with Chris. Her grades are good, and she is athletic and happy. I love the person she is growing in to. I couldn't ask for a better daughter. So, it preperation for her next birthday when she will be able to drive, we got her this......

Holy moly, her first car! I can't believe we even have to think about this. She loves it, but has a ways to go driving wise. We have been taking her at night a few times a week. And although we have a ways to go, she has improved volumes since that first day! lol! Its an older model, but I think its perfect for a first car. We did go eat hibachi and go to a movie for her birthday but we are having her party this weekend. We had to put it off a couple weeks with the majority of my family being in Hawaii. So, hopefully we will get lots of pics from that.

 Love you baby girl, I hope you had an awesome birthday!

Gone!!!!

Finally, after a long rode, the braces are GONE and she couldn't be happier. :)

And a pic of both of us, so we can hear how much we look alike. :)))

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Company Picnic....

This weekend we had my company picnic at a place in Burleson called Mainstay Farms. This place was so neat!!! 100 foot slide, mazes, bounce house in the ground, fishing pond, playground, go carts, donkeys to feed, lots and lots of fun! The kids loved it. My company made burgers and hot dogs, and had chips and drinks. Deakon ended up winning a drawing for a basket of goodies for kids!!! They were so excited about all there new stuff, and momma was excited about her new laundry basket. =)

Anyway, we had lots of fun, and daddy got home friday, so we all in all we had a good weekend. I hope everyone else had a great weekend!
