Miss Lola has some new threads...

Oh my, Oh my. I can't help my self. She's so darn cute. I think i am going to have to buy some more clothes for Miss Lola. Me and my hubby have different views on this. He thinks it's extremely ridiculous. I think it's a little ridiculous but not ridiculous enough not to do it. I have four boys i dress. So dressing Miss Lola is as close to dressing a girl as I'm gonna get! I also learned a big lesson when purchasing Miss Lola's new clothes. This is something you do without your husband!! :)

Spring Forward....

The picture below reminds me of little

Butterflies... today after lunch at Nana's i went outside and took pictures of her flowers. She has the most beautiful garden. This is a sneak peak of what is starting to bloom. Alot of things will be blooming soon and i will update when that happens. For now this is what i saw...

       








              Spring Forward ....I just love this time of year. Watching all of the beautiful flowers bloom. It reminds me of God's grace. It never fails. There is a season for everything. I love spring because it reminds us that even after the year brings loss and disappointment, life goes on. The flowers bloom after the cold days of winter. It encourages me to look for the good. Start new. I am thankful i have a God so great that he forgives me and I can start new. Spring Forward is what I'm going to do!
                                                                                                 Sunday's at Nana's and Poppy's....

It seems like just about every Sunday we go to my mom's for Sunday dinner. My kids look forward to it because ya know there's no place like Nana's. My parent's are great cooks and they usually invite the whole family to eat. My kids get to play with their cousins, which they love. I hope you enjoyed the pics of the garden, there will be more to come. Remember Spring Forward!!

Puppy Love

Introducing Miss Lola. Isn't she adorable! She is such a sweet puppy and the kids love her. A little to much. Let's just say i am her body guard right now. Once we get past the whining at night and the kennel training it'll be great. I bought her first sweater last night. So, So cute. It's nice to have another girl in the house. I know she's a dog! but ya know what, We won't tell her that :)Do you have a dog? If so, what kind and how was your training process? Anybody have any house training tips? Send them my way!

Loss is never easy

On sunday my husband's grandfather passed away. It was sudden and unexpected. Loss is never ever easy. It is hard to say goodbye to people you love. You always blame yourself for the things you didn't do. The things you could've, should've, would've done. One thing i can say is that he will be truly missed. He was like a Father to my husband, and that will leave a void for sure. Make sure to tell the people you love how much they mean to you. You never know what the next minute holds. I will never forget PawPaw Tom. We miss him already.

Finished home project

I had to write a post about my little project i completed yesterday. It's so nice to complete something and it just turned out so darn cute. First i found this Vinyl Lettering at Hobby Lobby (It goes on 50% off with wall art) Make each day... your Masterpiece.

I thought this saying was appropriate because it is going in the kids hall. Next i found the coolest frames, they are scrapbook frames, made for displaying your scrapbook pages. These were also on 50% off with frames. The scrapbook frames gave me the idea of scrapbook paper(also half off) to fill the frames. I just found the colors i was looking for and picked out a few coordinating papers. Anyways, this is my finished project at the top. I say it's completed but i plan to put a black and white 5 by 7 photo of my kids in the frames. I'm just going to place them where i like in the frame. I'll post a pic of that when I'm done.

One little monkey jumping on the bed

I have to post these pictures of Mattie jumping on his bed. Well I have to admit, i kinda let him do it. I even encouraged him to do it. Bad mom, I know. Oh well, i got some good pics of him doing it.(One is brighter than the other thanks to photoshop) He is going to be two in June and you know what, it's just cute right now. So i won't tell my other kids about this because you know it's not to cute when your seven year old or thirteen year old does it. Well that's a whole other story. Anyways here is to one little monkey jumping on the bed. I love you Mattie poo!!

With a face like that

How can you get mad at a face like that?? I know all you stay at home moms know what I'm talking about. You go to the other room to do whatever it is that you need to do, knowing your leaving things to be done in the room with the little people. ya know the little people who are clones of you and your darling hubbie. The ones with the sweetest little faces that ya love sooo much. Well, I returned to the kitchen after leaving for a few minutes to switch out the wash and here are a few pictures showing what i returned to. How can you get mad at someone with a face like that? By the way, that wasn't washable markers.
