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!!!!

Amanda and Kaysee putting their muscles to good use. :)

Jenny and Amanda smiling pretty.

I love this one of Kim and V.

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 boys giving their animals their 1st bath.

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!!!

Tag... You're it!!

OK.... I have been tagged y my friend (and could be sister some day) Stacy...I have to share 7 random facts about myself ....hmmmm...let me see...
1.) I am terribly hard on myself!! I nit pick everything I do and most of the time think it could have been done better. I know.. I am working on it. :)
2.) I smell my food before I eat it. Hey... I never said I wasn't weird!! lol
3.) I will not sit on toilets of people I am not close with. So if I come to your house and use your potty and it is taking me a while... it is because I am placing toilet paper around the lid to form my own little seat cover. ;)
4.) I'm a chips/dip fanatic!! I love finger foods and anything I can eat while talking, running around, on the go!
5.) I repeat movie lines to relate to incidences. If you hear me say... "Say it... Say it out loud"..... ... now you know
6.) I will not keep things past their due date!! That is just disgusting!!!
7.) I can be a bit bossy..... I don't see this but it is something Neil said. I am going to have to tell him that he needs to.... Well.. maybe I am a bit bossy. :)
Okay so there is some insight into my quirky side...
Thanks Stacy that was fun.
So...if you read this... YOU ARE TAGGED!!!
YOUR IT! .......lol....... XOXOXOXO

Twilight Movie!!!!

Yeah...... so 9 of my gilries and me went to see the Twilight movie last night!! We had a blast. Yes I loved the movie, but only because I am a true Twilighter. Was it cheesy... in parts, yes. Was it low scale production.... yes. Will I buy it when it comes out on DVD... OF COURSE I WILL!!!!! Part of the problem is that we were in a theater FULL of teeny boppers who laughed at parts that weren't meant to be laughed at. Us mature Twilighters will have to see it during the day when there are less teenage hormones in full rage. :) Check out our shirts!!

TWILIGHT!!!! 9 days to go!!

OMG!!! Ok.. so Twilight is in 9 days. Holy cow... 9 more days!! Can I even wait that long???? You know... is it wrong that I am in love with a friggin fictional character that is a vampire?!?!?! So in honor of my undying love to my fictional boy toy... here are some sayings just for you Twilight freaks. :) You know you love Twilight.. you just keep it a secret where as I confess my love openly. LOL
