yes, I know it's been a while

I bet some of you thought I wasn't going to write anymore!  It has been a crazy couple of weeks around here!  I had surgery and recovery, working on some planning for my mom's wedding and shower, Tupperware party, band contests, clothing party, gym and dance, an Arbonne makeup party and trying to be a good mama...
We've had a very sad day around here, I ran over and killed our dog, Lola, this morning.  Bayley and Meredith have been very upset about it.  Thank you so much to our sweet and caring neighbors who have called or came by to check on us.  We sure will miss Lola!  We will be on the lookout for a new dog soon, but probably not a Bulldog this time.  We don't seem to have much luck with them (Jed had one stolen and now this to Lola)... So if you have any recommedations for a dog that's good with kids I'd love to hear them.
That's gonna be it for tonight but I will try to write more often!

A few things that I've made.

So in my spare time (lol!), I've been trying to do something for ME.  Something that I enjoy.  A few months ago I got a Cricut machine.  I've really enjoyed using it.  My friend Carley is now trying to get me interested in stamps and paper crafting.  So here are a few things that I have made.

This is just a simple little Halloween card that I made for a blog hop that I done from Simon Says Stamp Challenge.  Very proud of how my witch turned out!  A very neat coloring technique using paint thinner!



This is a picture frame I decorated for a birthday gift.



added a vinyl initial to a bag



Note cards that I added initial too.

I hope you enjoy looking at my little creations!


2 posts in one week...maybe I CAN do this!

Hey y'all!  I am so glad today is Friday!  It's been a crazy week around here.  From getting the littles back in their routine since they were gone all weekend and with Jed leaving after being home for over a month, it's been a bit chaotic!!  Thank goodness we don't have anything planned this weekend.  I would love to sleep until at least 7 one day!!

We just came in from playing in the pool and my sweet friend and neighbor, Patty, came down and took some pictures of us.  I can't wait to see them!  Thank you Patty!  The boys are really getting more brave in the water.  I put arm floats on them today and let them play a little in the big part.  They had a great time!

I had a concerning experience this morning with a local pharmacy.  Long story short I called in 2 refills and when I looked at them neither prescription was what it should have been.  One was pretty close but the other was a medicine I've never taken in my life.  This concerns me mostly for older people or less educated people.  How many times do we just take the medicine and never really pay attention to what it is?  Honestly the only reason I noticed mine was wrong was because I knew the pill looked different.  This is so scary to think that our grandparents or anyone really could be taking the wrong medication just because someone was not paying close enough attention or was in a hurry or whatever the reason may be.  I know that we are all human and errors happen but seriously, this was 2 different prescriptions that were BOTH wrong.  Anyways, the pharmacy was nice and offered some compensation for my troubles, but this just still bothers me.

On a lighter note, tonight we have a home football game.  I'm looking forward to seeing my Bayley perform in the band.  I haven't seem them on the field this year because of the rain.  Meredith of course is looking forward to the cheerleaders, mainly Bailey M.  She loves that girl!  Wishing the Bulldogs the best of luck tonight.  We've got some players out but still hoping for a good game!

That's it for now! 

I'm going to try this again!

So, most of you know that I started a blog a while back and well, I didn't do a very good job updating it.  I'm going to try this again.  This blog is going to be about any and everything that I feel worthy of writing about.
Tonight I'm not feeling like anything is worthy of writing about.  We've all been up since 6 with only about an hour nap.  All the littles are in bed and that is where I am about to be.  One of my newest and dearest friends, Sarai Clark and I have been trying to do the couch to 5k workout.  We will be exercising at 5:30 in the morning.  If you know me at all you know I am NOT a morning person!  I have enjoyed the exersice and girl talk though. Patty McMillan and Angie Boatner were doing it with us, but they have been a little more persistent and have gotten ahead of us! 
I'm going to try to blog a couple of days a week but definitely at least once a week.  I hope you all enjoy reading what I write and feel free to leave comments for me.
