Family Pictures!

The weekend after Thanksgiving we braved the cold....seriously it was 32 degrees.....to have family pictures taken.  Luckily for me my little sister's sorority sister has taken up photography.  Her name is Caitlyn and she lives in Oklahoma City.  She has an amazing website and blog!  If you live in or near Oklahoma City please consider her for your photos, she is amazing!

 She posted a few more pics on her blog, I can't wait to get my hands on the DVD!!!!

She also has a slide show with more of our pics on her blog, click hereif you want to see more!

Caitlyn....thank you so much for being you and taking amazing pictures of my family!  You are amazing!

BCG's

Happy Tuesday!!

I thought everyone could maybe use a laugh today, so here goes....

Love my new glasses?!?!

Ha ha ha!

These are Ben's military issued glasses, aka BCG's.  What does BCG stand for?

Birth Control Glasses

Lucky for him he does not have to wear these.  Only if he chooses to.  I am hoping that he will leave them home, I can take the lenses out and use them to look smart at work!

I hope everyone is having a great week so far!

A Little Sneak Peek!

HI!!!!!

Last weekend we had family pictures taken by one of my little sister's best friend!  She was visiting her family for Thanksgiving and offered to do a session with us!

She shared a pic of Taylor on her blog and I thought you might be interested in seeing it!  Click here to check out my gorgeous little girl!!!

P.S.  I haven't put up my Christmas tree yet, Taylor has peed in the potty 4 times (2 times she told me she had to go on her own), I cleaned my entire house today(except my bedroom), we went to the Christmas parade tonight(it was miserably cold), and my girls are the most precious, special, amazing, gorgeous people I have ever met!


P.P.S  I love my SAVIOR!!!!  Without him I would be lost!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I hope that everyone has an amazing day filled with family, friends and lots of laughs!

I am thankful for so much this year.....It has been a little rough the past couple of months but I am thankful for that too, I am guessing it is making me a stronger and more patient person, not to mention it has made me skinny again!

I am thankful for my amazing family, without them I would be lost.  I would be crazy if it weren't for my friends, you guys are my voice of reason.  I am thankful that we are all healthy, I am thankful for the men and women fighting to keep our country safe and the families that are left behind.

I am have so much to be thankful for this year, I could go on for hours.  I hope everyone has an amazing day!  I miss all of you and hopefully will get back to blogging soon!

Man-tastic Monday Part 4

Welcome to another Man-tastic Monday!

Today I will be complaining talking about diaper changing.  It seems like (well at least in my house) diaper changing is 95% my job.  I don't know if it's because I notice or check diapers often.  But I find myself changing most of Tay's diapers.

I have heard conversations from the other room that go a little like this....

Tay:  "Daddy, I peed."

Daddy:  "Go tell your Mom."

And I end up changing the diaper.  Now Kielyn was a piece of cake to potty train, she started by herself at 17 months and was out of diapers by 2.  Taylor on the other hand is a different story.  I have bribed her with stickers, candy, big girl undies and we have only had one successful potty in the big girl potty.  Most of the time she sits on the toilet for 30 seconds, says she is done and then runs into the hallway where there is carpet and pees.

But I think we might be getting a little closer.  Yesterday she stops and says "Mommy, I'm pooping.  Better change me."  After I laughed for 30 minutes I explained to her that we need to start going poo in the potty.  Hopefully we are on our way out of diapers!

I am the only one who finds themselves changing the majority of the diapers?

Kind Of

Hi everyone!  No...I haven't keeled over.  I have just been in a funk and can't get motivated to do much besides everyday mundane activities.  We have still been busy with Halloween parties, play dates and that kind of thing but I can't even motivate myself to get the memory card out of my camera and post pictures.  :(  

The other day I really, really, really didn't want to do laundry and the girls were out of socks that I was tempted to go to Wal Mart and buy them new socks just so I didn't have to do laundry.  But then the thought of getting them both dressed, finding their shoes, getting them in the car, trekking through Wal Mart to buy socks sounded so much worse.  I finally did laundry!

I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!  Hopefully I can get my hiney in gear and get motivated to blog again!

Not Yet

Just an FYI...

I am still having a pity party.  And NO I have not put on my big girl panties. 

Last night I dropped the girls off at my gramma's so I could go to WalMart for an hour by myself because I was about to lose it.  No really, I tried to hide from my kids....they found me in the closet and I had only been in there for 30 seconds!

1 week left before Ben gets home.  I will survive!  And maybe I will put on my big girl panties tomorrow, maybe, don't hold your breath, we will see.
