Last day as a brunette....

I went with Cole on his field trip last Thursday and it was my official last full day as a brunette. Friday evening, I went and had my blond highlights put back in. G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S!!!!! I feel like the blond fits my personality better. Brunette makes me look quiet... notice I said "look". Anyone who even kind of knows me knows I am not quiet. HHHMMM.... guess that is where Cole gets it from. Huh??? :) Here is a pic of my last day as a brunette. I will post a blond one when I get it ready. ;)

Ornament Exchange 2008!!

So most of you know that I host an annual ornament exchange. Well, this year was a little different. We had to go for round 2 after the Fortenberry family got sick on the 1st one. So, finally the big day came. My girlies came over with ornament in tow. We had great food ( I had to join a gym because of Kim's Gloreos by the way), fun games, and of course the all gloves off ornament exchange. There were a couple of us (myself included) who wanted the same ornament. After conning Kim and Jenny to work a plan with me, we all 3 finally got the ones we wanted. Thanks girls!! :) I love having friends over. My group of girls are the BEST ever!!!!!

PS.... the camera got tossed to the side after a while, so there were others there besides the girls in the pics. My precious friends not pictured were: Carrie, Steph Mullen, Steph Marchal, Val, Laney, and Debbie. Hugs!!!!

Carson's 3rd Birthday

Ok.. I am just now updating my blog.. I suck, I know. :)

We celebrated Carson's 3rd birthday at Build-A-Bear at Stonebriar Mall. We had just a few friends and stuffed some animals. Tanner did a puppy, Laina and Carson both chose monkeys, and Shiloh Grace did a pink bear. They all looked so cute picking out their clothes and kissing the hearts. We then headed up to the food court to open presents and have some lunch. We had a blast!!

Special thanks to Rylee Bug, Angel, and Cole for being troopers through the whole "baby" stuff. :)

The whole gang... Shiloh, where are you going???? :)

Carson and Handy Manny... Thanks Laina!! :)

M.I.A.

Ok... so this is my first blog of the year. I know, I know.. I stink. :) Anyways, already this has been a busy year. We rang in the new year at home. We were suppose to go to the King's house, but Cole and Carson had a "friend" that wouldn't go away. LOL. Then school started back and it was back to work. I made a New Year's resolution that I will get to an acceptable weight where I feel like I look cute in clothes. I don't really have a number goal, but I do have a goal to look cute in summer clothes. I joined Lady of America and have been working out art least 4 days a week. I conned V and Kaysee into joining with me, so we have fun and are getting in shape at the same time. Our family will be celebrating 4 birthdays in February. 4... can you believe that?!?!? Neil is on the 1st, my brother Trey on the 9th, Shiloh Grace on the 11th, and my brother Cody on the 15th. Plus throw in Valentines Day and the fact that February marks the 1 year anniversary of my Papa's death. It is going to be crazy!! I will be updating some pics soon. HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my friends and family. I hope 2009 gives you the very best!!!
