Happy Birthday Nanny!

Today is my Nanny's Birthday. We met them in Woodbury for dinner and had the best time. We ate at the Mexican restaurant. They gave her a free desert and put whipped cream on her face! I wish I would have had my camera. It was so funny and she was a wonderful sport with it all. So, I hope you had a wonderful birthday Nanny!

The yard sale was a huge success. Between my friend and I our yard sale made over 1,000 dollars. It was early and cold as could be on Friday but we stuck it out. Saturday we didn't have much left to sell, so we ended early. We were so tired. I can't believe that we were so successful!

Tonight I am going to see Baby Momma at the movies with some girlfriends. I am so excited to get to go out with the girls. It will be a late night, but I don't mind seeing as how I don't usually go to bed until 11 or 12 anyhow.

Also want to say Congrats to my friend Jennifer who just bought her first house! I am so proud of you. We spent the morning out there painting and cleaning in preparation for her moving in. I will probably be spending quite a few hours out there this week helping her. It is so fun to help her paint. Today we sang old songs as loud as we could to help pass the time. We forgot our radio. Her dad said he would be sure and bring one tomorrow. I don't think he liked the way we sounded. Ha!

Hope everyone is having a good week!

Yard Sale!

We are having a yard sale on Friday and Saturday! Stop on by and pick up some great deals!

Happy Mother's Day!

First I would like to say Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers in my life. There are so many of you who have been inspirations and so much help this first year of my motherhood. Thanks to you all. Most importantly my mother. She is my best friend and an amazing woman. Thanks mom for all you do.

Second, I am feeling much much better. I finally started feeling human again about Wednesday. Justin was great during my sickness. He cleaned, washed dishes and did laundry. I think it was Tuesday when I came down stairs and found him eating off of a paper plate with plastic silverware. I asked him why he was eating with those and he said that since he was doing the dishes he was eating off of that so he didn't have to do anymore! Ha!

Third, this weekend has been a whirlwind. Friday, Alison gave birth to Channing Cope and I went to Nashville to visit my newest cousin! She is beautiful. Kirby has a pic up on her blog. You know me, I forgot my camera. I will try and get some pics soon. We will see them again next weekend when we go to GrannyMa's for dinner. Channing weighed 7lbs and 8oz. She has the prettiest color and dark hair like her sis. Arden was so proud to be a big sister. While I was there, Channing got hungry and Arden wanted to feed her, so I helped her feed her little sis. Channing ate like a champ. I think Kirby got the reward of changing her diaper before I got there. I guess I timed it just right. Saturday, Justin, Mylie and I went out on the pontoon boat with our friends. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the sunshine. Mylie loved looking over the side at the water going by. She really enjoyed her daddy letting her drive the boat! They were so cute! Today, we got up and went to visit our moms in McMinnville. I ate lunch with my mom, while Justin ate lunch with his. Then we headed back to Murfreesboro for dinner. Justin and Mylie took me out to Cameno Real. We love Mexican food and after driving around and checking the wait time at a few other restaurants decided to go back to our old faithful. I had a wonderful day and even got the present I wanted, a shower radio!

Friday and Saturday of this week, I am having a yard sale. So, stop on by and buy some of my stuff! There will be a lot of good things. I am down sizing. I am tired of having all this stuff that I don't use. So, I hope they will find a better home that will use and love them! This will be a multi family yard sale as I have friends putting in items as well.

Everyone have a lovely week!

Turning the corner...

I am finally starting to feel human again. I have had something awful, we are guessing strep throat. I am doing better today, but still really tired. I will catch everyone up when I have the energy.

An Award...for Me?

Thanks to my dear sweet cousin, Paula for giving me my first and second blog award! She gave them to me a little while ago, and I forgot for a few days, then I remembered and it made my day all over again! Paula makes the best cookies in the world and is such a good friend. Give her a visit if you get a chance.
I am so excited! So now, I have to pass these along. I am sending them together to
Krisit
Elizabeth
Tamara
McKenna
Kirby
Alison

Can you guess what we had for dinner?

She needed a bath, so I let her feed herself. I am totally out of baby food in a jar and I don't think I am going to buy anymore. I will steam her some veggies to go with our dinner, but I am stuck on what to feed her for lunch. Any sugesstions? I do not eat that healthy for lunch. So, most of the time, I will have to fix her something totally different than what I am having. Fruits come to mind, but I am looking for something a little bit more than that.

Mylie likes cake!

Needless to say, Mylie really enjoyed her birthday cake!

Happy Birthday Mylie!

This year has gone by so fast. I can't believe that my baby is ONE today!

There is lots on the schedule for today so, I will have to post more later!

1 year pics

We went to Portrait innovations today to get some pics made. I was very impressed with how they turned out. Here are two of my favorites.

I have been busy cleaning and getting ready for Mylie's big day. Not much else going on these days.

New Pics and an explination of sorts

I have been a bad, bad blogger. I started this blog with every intention of blogging regularly, but as you can see that has not happened. I do not apologise, because that means I would be sorry for spending more time with my family, cleaning, or doing something a little more important than this. Everyday it seems that blogging gets further and further down on my list. I will however, continue to blog when I get the time. I promised myself that I will not feel guilty about it either. For those of you who know me, you have my email and can keep in contact with me that way in between blog postings. I know I have lost some readers because of my inconsistency, but such is life. I don't track who has been here because, frankly I don't blog for numbers.

Anyway, on a different note...

We had baby group the other night and had a wonderful dinner and fellowship. Abby's mom had her camera so we took the babies outside for the last little bit of sunshine and great pictures. Here are a few of my favs.

This is Mylie trying to "run" down the hill. I love how twisted her body is!





Do you know how hard it is to get three babies who are 1 to smile and look pretty at the same time?

You might notice that one of the babies is not there, Colten and his parents are getting ready to move to another state. :(

I have some more of Mylie's clothes completed but I don't want to post pics until I get the whole set complete. That may be a while, but we will see. I have to put things on hold for a few days to make Abby a dress for her birthday and to get ready for Mylie's birthday. We have been cleaning the house like crazy. I do say that it is starting to look really good. We keep the house picked up everyday, but with so many coming over for her big day, it pushed us to do some deep cleaning and sorting out. I guess you could call it 'spring cleaning." This is also the first chance that we have had to do this since Mylie was born. It has been very nice to have her go to bed at a scheduled time. It's so funny, when we are out and want to stay out like at a friends house past her bed time, she still gets very sleepy right at her bed time. I think her internal clock has been set!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!
