my new loves


I don't care that February is over, I want to keep the love going, and so I think I will have a monthly post about what I am loving that month. It will be fun (for me anyways) to look back at the end of the year and see my momentary obsessions.
Right now I'm loving...
Baby Naartjie brand

this is one of the cute outfits and headband I bought at the naartjie store. their clothes are so soft and comfy and adorable.they are much cuter in person where you can see all the little details.

my smiley face mug my best friend gave me( I was having a crappy few moments and pulled out the mug and it actually made me smile..cheesy but true) and yummy blueberry tea( it helps control those sugar cravings that come from those crappy moments)



couples trip to Vegas Baby!
We spent 2 glorious days with three of my favorite couples in Vegas at the MGM signature suites. A very nice place for not alot of money, for those of you going to Vegas soon, look it up. It was perfect weather and we had the best time ever!

night out on the town (really just the MGM..that place is huge)

the lazy river

on our way to the mall



St. Patrick's Day

St. Paddy's day is special around our home since Clay is a leprechaun. He grew his beard out forever for it and got a costume but I felt bad cuz his friend decided to dress up too and totally showed him up! He even had real buckle shoes but the one thing he will never have is clays magical charms;)

And My last favorite thing is

this quote I saw on a friends blog;

"We become what we want to be by consistently being what we want to become each day."

turning 33


P-A-R-T-WHY? because its my birthday Bi#$*&!!

For my 33rd birthday I had a vision board party. what? you haven't heard of that before? that's cuz I made it up and it was awesome! We made vision boards, ate, exchanged clothes and of course hit a pinata! I know it sounds confusing but trust me it was fun.

...some random people...

Ericka thought if she lightly tapped it...

Amber and Diana knew how to do it..

Tyler had to get in on the fun!

The kids were very disappointed to find only girly products in the pinata. Tate burst into tears cuz he didn't get any candy! Anyway I had a great time and am very grateful for the amazing women I can call good friends. They make turning old fun!

I should have known...

In November of 09



I found Tate looking like a smurf and my house covered in blue dye for the SECOND time. Instead of thinking this was a semi funny - semi rare moment of hijinks I should have known this was just the beginning of a career in destruction. Just today(if you are anti spanking stop reading now) I have spanked Tate 3 times, and since I use that as a last resort you can imagine all the other forms of discipline I have also tried in the four hours I have been awake. It is really amazing to me how in such a short period of time how much damage one little four year old can do! He is a master at destroying things. But he is choosy in what he destroys. It must be something of great importance, not just any ol happy meal toy will do. Yesterday he sat on and broke a piece of artwork that Ty had made at school that was very precious to Ty (Ty cried for an hour, poor guy, and never once hit or even yelled at Tate, such a saint). The day before that he painted his face with a 30$ pot of makeup I had got THAT DAY( I cried for an hour, poor me, and yelled alot, not a saint). Obviously since I've had the baby he has had to much free time and I guess breaking things is his favorite way to spend it. He has broken 2 car seats, 2 DVD players plus our car radio and hidden my phone and keys multiple times(this is just off the top of my head). And this is a picture I just took of him one minute ago when he came up to me while I was blogging this!

I'd better go!
