I had a pretty good facebook thread going on skittles. Lots and lots of feedback I simply asked: How do you eat your skittles? Mix? Separate? Save the best for last? It was a fun thread and as you can see I personally separate and eat the best first! Ha ha ha ha!

PS: I hate the purple ones!

Back in March my good friend Cole called and said, "are you in???" It was time once again to buy DM tickets. Of course I was "in"! BEST. BAND. EVER.!!!!! We had such a blast! I remember when we bought the tickets it seemed August 25th was 5 years away, it here it came and went! Fun night!!!

Shauna bought Bump It's and we had a GREAT time laughing at their lameness! We then watched a bunch of their commercials on you tube and like always... they make it looks so great, but don't waste your money... they don't work!

Tonight Mike and his BF Kjell(sounds like Shell) went to the moster truck rally. Mike took the camera and got 50 pictures of the trucks but none of him and Kjell! So this is what you get... a big truck. Exciting, eh?

August 21, 2009

Alright, y'all ready for this one???

It was a typical Friday night... din din with the fam. I had both Kyah and Memphis in my car and they loved riding together. Most of the kids made dinner pretty miserable. I don't know why we keep doing that to ourselves. LOL. After dinner I again had the two, two year olds. I buckled in Kyah and then attempted to buckle in Memphis, who was thrashing around and making very difficult to do anything. I threw my purse and keys on the front seat and forced her to be buckled in and shut the door. Went to open my door only to find that while I threw them in the front seat I hit the button and locked the car. (I actually remember hearing them lock but thought NOTHING of it!!!) I was the only adult in my car and panic set in. Do I leave them? I just stood there not knowing what on earth I should do. I saw in the far distance my little sister and screamed at the top of my lungs: "Stacey, I locked the girls in the car, help". She transferred to Shauna that I had locked something in the car and Shauna knew right away what I had done. By then the whole family had some to the car, Mike included and he called 911. They got there quick and we had a fire truck and three police there. So embarrassing! The first tool they had, they could not get it open... so with in 7 to 10 min they had another tool there that opened the door just enough to push the unlock button. Yea!!!!! Even though it was a cool night, the girls were good and sweaty by the time we got them out. Poor things. They didn't cry or anything... just watched as we all kept looking in at them. They would wave at us... clueless of anything out of the norm. What an eventful night! Never again!

I would like to title today's POTD: DEFEATED!

Yesterday's cheez-its are now all over the floor. I had both kids today while Mike was at practice and it's obvious on this day who was in charge. See the pile of white? Those are wipes and I later found TWO MORE stacks just like this in the bed room. Some days seem impossible and yet somehow we get through it and keep on keepin' on! Right? And we wonder why being a mommy is tiring.

Not just for babies! Wouldn't we all like a stroller full of snacks? :)

Mommies Big Helper!



The kids clothes sometimes take a back burner as far as being hung up and tonight I just wanted to get them done. So Memphis was wanted to "help"! Really you only need to watch the first 25 seconds or so of the video to see what we wanted to capture.

August 17, 2009

I know you are thinking, what? What a lame POTD! Understand that I have been looking for my miracle grow FOREVER! I have this plant (that I should really take a picture of) I have had since my days at Livingston. I took care of it and not very well but when we closed our doors I took it with me. It was looking pretty sad when it arrived at Karls... so I brought it back to life with Miracle grow. Well, it's been lost and it was making crazy and Elise would tease me about it, saying a drank it and blah blah blah. Well naturally her first day not there, I found it... IN MY DESK! Duh! So this post is for her! I found my miracle grow!

August 16, 2009

Today's picture was actually taken on Friday the 14th. Not that you really care... It was Elise's last day. A while back she started to make big plans to move to Logan for school and put in her 30 day notice. Well, you know that is when it happens... you meet Mr. Right and she did. So now she is staying and getting married November 6th. Unfortunately I had already replaced her... but I couldn't be more happy for her. We had so much fun working together!

All that being said, I replaced her with one of my besties: Ruby!

August 15, 2009

Today we spent the whole day up at the Skousen Cabin with our good friends. I promise to do a full post on this event with all of Heather's stolen pictures. Good thing she is such a good blogger, or I would have none from this day. On my sons first birthday of all days. Awesome, right? Again, thank you Heather for being the great picture taker while we were up there. What a fun day! Have mentioned lately what great friends I have?

August 14, 2009

Today is Flash Back Friday! I went into labor one year ago on this day... so lets look back! :)


Me and Memphis just waiting for the baby to arrive! I cant believe how young she looks, and yet SO SO CUTE!

D Man didn't actually arrive until the 15th, but you get the point!


Daddy and D getting to know each other! :)

August 13, 2009

Nothing like a child learning a little independence, right? I know this is not a great picture but what will she think of next? I can not take my eyes off of her for .85 seconds! There is no telling where she is and what she might be doing at that point!

August 12, 2009
Today's POTD comes from the latest wedding invitation! Mike's little brother is getting married in 3.5 weeks! Whoooo hooooo! We could not be more excited for Jesse and Brittney! Aren't they just the cutest! Nothing like adding another girl to the family!!!! I love it!

August 7, 2009

As you know I was trying to collect all 30 of the mini beanie babies, but this is pretty much how far I got. I came down stairs to find Memphis had pulled every single TY tag off and suddenly I wasn't so up for the challenge. Which is better, the last thing we need to Happy Meals for every meal! LOL!

My mom had some socks downstairs and Memphis thought she would give them a try. Kids are just too funny sometimes! I love it!

August 5, 2009

Nothing like breaking out old toys. This road was Chase's but a favorite toy among all of us kids. I let Memphis play with it and she loved it. She kept crying when she would break the over pass! She then took it apart and used the ramps as slides.

August 4, 2009

Tonight Damien pulled this towel from the stove and started rubbing the side of his face with it while I was doing the dishes. I looked down and couldn't help but just laugh. Could my little man be tired??? (since that is what he does with his blankets when you lay him down) He is SO easy to put to bed. Sweet sweet boy. He'll be 1 in a week in a half! Where does the time go???

August 3, 2009

Today Memphis fell asleep really early so she woke up around 11:30 pm, Walked down the stairs and said "hi" in the cutest voice ever! She has been obsessed with this protein bars in the cupboard and I just keep taking them away, so tonight I finally just opened it up and let her have it. It was making me laugh... so I took a picture. I hope it was everything she dreamed it to be. My little health nut! Ha ha ha!!!

Today we attended the baby blessing of sweet Brooklyn Doney. It was a fun day spent with good friends.

(I snagged this picture from Heather)

I actually started this salad yesterday... it's a little time consuming. This is one of those things I LOVE TO MAKE!!!! I can't claim it as my own since I got the recipe from my sister. Not only do I love making it, but it just looks cool and tends to always be a great crowd pleaser!

So many have already heard the story... but I was making a jello salad JUST like this(only blue) for my cousin Lauren's graduation party and I went into labor with Memphis. I made it on "bed rest"!!! Shhhh!!!! Anyway, I was sad that I didn't get to go and no one got to eat my salad. :) That being said... that turkey girl who fights me every night on going to bed was totally worth it!

July 31, 2009

Tonight I had a date with Ruby! Pedicures, shopping and dinner! I love getting pedicures. We came here and I made haystacks. They are like one of my top 5 dinners now. It's so easy and it takes SO GOOD!

July 30, 2009

So Mike has about 224 boxes full of baseball, basketball and football cards and this week he pulled them out and started sorting through them. Quite honestly I had no idea he had that many!!! I think he counted over 200 Michael Jordan cards alone!!!!! So the 224 boxes might be a bit of an exaggeration but not by much... let me tell you!!! He came across this Derek Jeter rookie card and we laughed and laughed. I took this picture to pass on to my friend Amy... who intends to marry Mr. Jeter. Being the huge Yankee fans that we're NOT... we will be donating this card to Amy!

July 29, 2009

Ok, so I have an amazing job and super cool boss... who allows my kids to come to work with me. Damien is only there for the first hour, but 36 minuets into my day I find myself watching the clock...impatiently waiting for Mike to arrive.

This feels like déjà vu!

July 28, 2009

Today's pictures are compliments of Ceciley. The Hallmans watch Memphis during football season while Mike is at practice. They love her and SHE LOVES THEM!!! :) It's nice for me too and I am so grateful for them.

July 27, 2009

Well, today was the first day of football practice for Mike. It was strange to be home alone with just little D. When my mom got home and I said... wanna go do something? So, we headed out for some cheese fries! Half priced Monday - Thursday! Awesome!!!!! D man like them too. :)

July 26, 2009

Today was moving day for Chase and Kristi. Shauna and Kyle came over to help and Spencer found this fishing pole and was fascinated. Like father like son! :)

July 25, 2009

Mike and Memphis went to the Bee's Baseball game with Mike's friend Tim. They even got to see the fireworks and Memphis was well behaved and loved every minuet! :) The Bee's lost, but they all had a great time.

Farm Town anyone??? I was farming and Damien was standing there looking at me with the cutest little face like... "mommy, I neeeeeeed you"!!! I just love the boy!

July 22, 2009

One word: Hilarious!

Damien thinks hes old enough and big enough to do most anything.

July 21, 2009

After all the time spent in car seats over our va-ca they were in SERIOUS need of a good washing. So I took both apart and this is a picture of Memphis "putting it back together"! Such a big helper! :)

This is the Ronald McDonald Happy Meal TY Beanie Baby.!

Beanie Babies... so 1999 right? Wrong!!! I like to set my goals high, and my latest is to collect all 30 before August 13th! (when the promotion ends)
