As the kids get older...

Please try to be patient with me.  As the kids get older, I become increasingly busy during the day and don't always have a lot of time to be on the computer.  Some days, I'm not on at all.  I promise I'll update when I can though.

Last week was another fun, but busy week.  The weather has been incredibly hot.  One day we got up early, and went to the park.  It was so hot though, that Ben couldn't do anything that required your skin touching anything.


























Thursday was the sidewalk sale.  In the 5 1/2 years we've lived out here, we've never gone to the side walk sale, until this year of course.  Shawn and the kids bought me a really cute purse for my birthday.  It's big, like I love my purses and poor Ben could hardly carry it.


























We celebrated my birthday all weekend long.  My mom, her boyfriend, my sister, my brother, and my nephew all came out on Saturday.  We had a nice lunch, ate cake (my sister made) and then went to walk downtown.

Sunday, we went to Shawn's parent's house.  A great friend of ours, Torren, and his parents came out and we spent the afternoon out by the pool.  Sydney looked so cute with a doo rag on.








































We BBQ'd for our wonderful lunch and then had a great cake.




































After the wonderful food and a little relaxing, Shawn and I went to the Chicago and Doobie Brothers concert (my gift from Shawn's parent's).  It was a total blast.























































It's been a crazy but fun couple of weeks.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
