Ice cream panty hose!

                             As I'm looking out my kitchen window on this beautiful day while I wash the ice cream out of my little 2 year olds panty hose all I can do is think about how happy I am to be able to be doing just what I was doing right then. I know it sounds weird right? Why be so happy about having to hand wash strawberry short cake ice cream out of white chevron panty hose......? Because I can.  I have been given that gift in life.. I have this sweet little fire ball of a little girl that drives me crazy sometimes.. but she is my little fireball and I get to be at home with her and raise her and be with her and her brothers while they do all the silly things they do, like get ice cream on her panty hose or sleep with swimming goggles on or annoy her brothers just because it makes her laugh.. I am blessed and I forget it why to often. Its been a bad day but in that moment of washing her clothes in the sink and looking out the window it really made me see this day as a win.. We are under a lot of stress right now so I need to remember the little things that make life really matter..!

Haven't been on here in a while.

It's been so long since I have been on here that I have forgot how to do some things so please forgive me. I'm going to have to relearn everything that has to do with the blogging word. You know the old saying if you don't use it you lose it?? That is absolutely me!!


I guess I will start this year 2013 with some updated pictures of my lovely children. I can't believe how big they are getting.

Meet Braxton Ruger! He is much bigger now.. We rescued him from the animal shelter.. He is wide open!! We got him in October 2012!

 

This is Stella! We just got her a couple of weeks ago. She is almost 9 weeks old.. She is so spoiled! Just like having another baby!!

 

We are headed into summer and hoping for a good one.. Pool, beach, Florida and hopefully breaking ground on our new home.. (Things are moving very very slowly) I'll keep you all up to date..

 

Also my husband and I have started a new business that is slowly getting started. Clothez for Cutiez. We are selling cute childrens clothes at affordable prices. You can check us out on facebook at www.facebook.com/clothezforcutiez or you can go shop in person at Southern Chic Salon and Boutique in Lexington North Carolina. Thanks so much to the owner for allowing us to put our clothing in her store! She Rocks!

 

That's all for now.. hope everyone has a lovely week. Im going to try and post on here more since im not on facebook anymore.. Stay Real!

Ezra's first Dentist Trip!

I can't believe its time for Ezra to visit the Dentist for the First time! I was very worried about how he would do. He is very picky when it comes to who he talks to. He is not like Ethan at all who will talk to anyone. Ezra is shy and he doesn't like new places or things very much. He has been described as having a "highly sensitive personality"! So I went into the office prepared for the worst and he id amazing!! i am so proud of him! he had no cavities and did a great job!

Ethan also went for a check up and he also has no cavities but may need to have a tooth pulled to make room for a tooth that looks like on the xray might come in in the wrong place. We just have to watch it as it start coming in and see what happens. The sooner they do something about it means they might can correct it and he might not need braces when he is a little older. Here are a few pictures! Yes you know I took my camera! I need to get out the pictures form Ethans first visit to compare them!  And of coarse I have to add some pictures of Elyza!!

Sunday Shenanigans!

I finally got some pictures off my other computer and thought I would share them..

                                                        Ethans valentines for his class mates!

Proof they do love eachother and that they mess up my bed daily!

some things about me you might not know, heck you might not want to know!

1. There are people that I would love to be friends with as an adult but just can't seem to forget how they treated me as a teenager so I keep them at arms length not knowing really whether they are good people now or just pretending to be.

2. I love love love the sound of dirtbikes! Just ask Brandon how much! lol

3. I tend to remember the bad memories more then the good. I hate that about myself

4. If I could change one thing about myself.... I would more patient with my kids.

5. I work better and get things done when I'm stressed.

6. I am so forgetful.. again  just ask Brandon

7. I have a secret addiction to real house wives. just about all of them but new york. and also the secret life of the american teenager. ( yeah yeah i know)

8. I love skittles

9.I am Italian, Greek, Jewish, Cherokee Indian and Lumby Indian. Yep that"s alot!

10. I used to never say what I thought or felt about someone I would just go behind there backs and talk about them. I refuse to do that anymore and yes it is uncomfortable sometimes but how can anything be fixed or resolved if the other person doesn't know they did something to offend you?

11. I love Brandon with every fiber in my being. We haven't always gotten along the best and we have had some very trying times but he is my best friend. he know the good and bad of me and he excepts me with his whole heart.

12. It makes me mad to see women boss there husbands around and talk to them like dogs and brag about how they boss them around. Read your bibles ladies.

13.I love to workout. I am so glad I started on this journey.

14. I feel so blessed to have some amazing friends around me. They make me want to be the best person that I can be because they are so awesome

15. I hate socks

16. I miss my daddy

17. I dont know what I would do without my mom! I love you!

18. I love the little mermaid and beauty and the beast

19. I watched Hope Floats everyday after school for a year.

20. and last but not least......

                    I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up!

 oh and number 21. I love the word Shannigans!

feeling crafty!

I am usually not one to post alot about stuff I make for the kids but this was a cute easy idea that I wanted to share. We are still working on getting Ezra's room finished and it really needs to have some accents and things on the wall.


I had brandon make me some of  what was suppose to be 8x8 boards at work. Once I started working with them they were actually smaller so I just cut the paper smaller. No big deal. He painted then white at work for me so it would save me some time.

I then found Ezras bedding on Ikea.com and added it to psp so I could get the colors perfect. I made a new template sized 8x8 and designed some pages to match his room.

I printed out the letters in his name and cut them out. I ended up changing the font because I decided I didn't like this.

I used a spray adhesive from walmart in the craft section to glue the paper to the boards.

I used the same thing to glue the letters!

I used modge podge to do a gloss sealer on the letter z to see how it would do. It made the paper bubble and I  just took it off the board and I'm going to make a new one without.

                                  I was gonna hang these on the wall but a shelf might be better!! Here are a few pics of his room. It is a mess because I took all the clothes out because he is getting a (new to him) dresser. Sorry some of the pictures are sideways I dont know why blogger does that to them. Just turn your head sideways! lol
 

 

I want to be a circus clown when I grow up!

Okay so we took the boys to the circus last night for the first time, unfortunetly Elzya is still sick so she stayed at home with mamaw. It was so fun! Ethan danced and yelled and just set with his jaw dropped to the floor most of the night.. It was so much fun to see him so excited.

Ezra on the other hand was only interested in the Elephants. He kept calling them his elephants! And didn't care about any part of the show but the elephants until the dragon came out at the end and he loved the dragon. About 2 hours into it Ezra was ready to go home.He kept walking back and forth and I felt so bad for the people in front of us cause I know it was getting on there nerves. He was tired because it was bedtime and he isnt used to being out late. So with that said I have a funny story to share....

 Ezra does not like to wear clothes. I can get him dressed and in 5 minutes he will be in his underwear most of the time he does it when he is tired. So we are at the circus and he was getting sleepy and I looked over and he was stadning beside me and he had taken his jacket off.. so I was like well thats okay he has his jacket off.. I look back ove at him and he has half of his shirt off! The child was trying to take all of his clothes of in the middle of the circus!! It was so funny! I felt bad for him because he was so tired. He fell asleep on the way home. He just woke up this morning and is still talking about the "Big Dragon"






he also loved dancing during the preshow!


I think Brandon really enjoyed himself too. I loved it. I loved the clowns..I think I want to be a clown when I grow up. It has got to be so much fun! I bet they have a blast being in the circus!





How do you think we look???
