Leelyn's FIRST sled ride

why I said trip in the video shows how tired I am.

What time is it?

Here it is, 11:23 pm and I am still sitting here at this computer! I can't even begin to describe the burn out I feel! I have been working tooth and nail on my website and yes I am designing it myself. I can see why people pay big dollar to have someone do it for them. I like to take on a challenge, and this is IT! I am getting close to opening my doors and while I am ready, I am so nervous. Sometimes I am not sure that this is my time. Then I pray, then I doubt, then I pray, then I doubt.....I think I like to torture myself or something. I still have my hair so that is positive right!

Both kiddos now have strep, Blaine became ill yesterday which sucks because we have an awesome snow storm on the way. I hope they are better by Wednesday so we can play in it. Got to love the gym, germs everywhere! Now I say awesome snow storm because we haven't had one and I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow. I can't wait to sit Leelyn in it ;-) ha

This is why I serve my hubby beer

Because he gets out on the floor and builds beautiful displays like this:





He could just sit in his office......Well done babe!

Poor little man

We woke up to a very sick little man this morning. He had a fever of 103.4 with no 'ill signs' other then the fever. Turns out he has strep throat! My poor kiddos seem to stay ill. Our pediatrician said he has only had 1 other baby under a year old that had strep....guess who is his 2nd...ugh~

On a brighter note, I am officially meeting with an accountant next Wednesday (sorry Jen I had to cancel our lunch date) to go over all the major details of my soon to be up and going business. I am hoping that my website will be up and going by next week also, so stay tuned! My photo blog is also receiving a professional polished makeover ;-)I am so nervous but ready and excited also. I want to thanks all of my friends and family for your wonderful support during this transition. Most importantly Brian who has really stepped up and helped me out with the boys and house work. I love ya babe!

It AIN'T easy

being breezy! ha ha. Things have been chaos, simply chaos around here! Leelyn is cruising all over the place and he is into everything! He is pushing jar food away and wants what we have. We have been battling a rash with him because he has been getting what we have and it is obviously to rich for him.

Blaine is a game fanatic. I can't beat him at anything!!!! It drives me nuts, as does his smarty pants mouth he is getting! Ha It was a GORGEOUS day here in the Lou and so nice to walk the hood and let the boys get some fresh air.

We are set for our Tx trip, woot woot! Houston, Austin here we come! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to see our family and friends and our precious Godson and his new brother YAY!!! We are also celebrating Leelyn's 1 year birthday in Austin and I am so excited about that. I am looking forward to some warmer weather. OOOOOH and I get to go on a ride along with one of my bff's who is a cop, so exciting.

I am in desperate need of a little RnR, looking forward to the grandparents being around......ahhhh!!!

My friend has passed away

This little bird has hung around me since the beginning of last summer. I would go out and sit in my chair on the deck and here he or she would come....flying very close to me and then it would perch itself on the table next to me and hang out until I went in. If the kids were out with me, he would perch up on the deck railing.

A couple of weeks ago it was a warmer day so I headed out on the deck to pick up some things and here comes my little friend, like clock work. He perched right on the table, about 12 inches from me. Yes, I would chat with him.

This morning I went to set up a backdrop and O.M.G, my friend was in my chair on it's side passed away.

I am heart broken over this.

My little elf

Lisa Julia, my mentor, friend, idol made that for me. She is a natural, true talent. Check her art out, on my blog roll. Thanks you Lisa, we LOVE it, I can't wait to hang it up on my wall.
