Wee Bit Of Me Wednesday

{one} do you collect anything? if so, what and how long have you been collecting?
I use to collect keychains and I have a decent collection but I haven't gotten a new one in a while, lately the only I have been collecting is calories, blah...but that will change starting January! Just you watch!

{two} what is one cleaning tip that you swear by?
Love your cat, but hate their cat box? I found that the more expensive litter usually works the best. I found the cheaper it is the more you can smell it, I also put baking soda in it and I clean it out every day. Now if you still don't feel that's enough I put a glad automatic machine above mine it goes off every 18 minutes, it really does make a difference.

{three} who would you call for bail money?
My parents, they would be pissed I am sure but I know they would come get me

{four} what is one thing you miss about being a kid?
The ability to have more energy to know what to do with & not dealing with that awesome vistor each month & Bra's!

{five} name a few of your guilty pleasures.
Red Bulls, Some people like coffee mine is Red Bulls, yes they taste like smarties that are on crack, but that's how I roll....deal! & Gum...I have like 5 different types of gum at my work desk alone...sad I know!

{six} how early do you start your holiday shopping?
I am making it a goal next year to buy 1 gift per family memeber each month, because so far I haven't even started at all! It's hard, Richard's birthday is November 30th and Toby's is December 13th!

{seven} what is a family tradition that you would like to pass on to your significant other/children?
Cinnamon rolls for Breakfast on Christmas day & the night before opening 1 gift that are Pj's. oh and home made cinnamon rolls too!

{eight} what do you consider your greatest achievement?
I honestly don't know I have never done anything awesome, I am boring like that

{nine} what do you do to pamper yourself?
I love to get my nails done but I can't while I work at Dominos & I love my toesies done but right now I just don't have the extra money to do it either, sucky bills....

{ten} if you were to start your own restaurant, what would it be called?
This is a tough one, I would think Mary's Cafe would be awesome....

I am missing summer already!!

Hair!

Avery had a TON of hair when he was born and he didn't lose it either, by the time he was 2 he probably had at least 5 haircuts. Toby on the other hand hasn't been so lucky with his ability to grow hair. He will be 3 in a month and he has had 2 haircuts total! I can tell Evan has more hair than Toby did at his age. I was taking a picture of Evan & Toby in the shopping cart heading into walmart, and when I saw the picture it showed that Evan's hair it quite darker than Toby's hair. I didn't realize this until then. Richard thinks that he will have red hair, to match his personality but I am not convinced yet.

Random Monday

We went up to the farm on Sunday, it's about an hour and a half drive, the kids were less than pleased because we had to take the Jetta and it's MUCH smaller than the Van. The Jetta was making a funny noise one morning when we went to do the paper route, so we were taking it up to visit with the family and to have his Dad check out the car. Comes to find out it was the Starter, JOY...it's not like we dumped 800 in this dang car less than 3 months ago....I am at work...I look at the window and see this (see picture below) SNOW!?!? Ugh.....STUPID snow! Tomorrow's paper route is going to truly SUCK!

Me & Avery Boy

A few weeks ago I was taking a picture of me and Evan together and Avery made a comment that we don't have many pictures of just him and me, I giggled and said oh my child yes we do! He is partly right, I don't have a lot of current pictures of just me and him, it's harder once you go from just one child to 2 or 3 kids. I pulled up my photobucket and found these pictures, this doesn't even begin to make a dent with all the pictures I have with him, these are just a few of my favorite ones, I sure do love my little boy!

Note the last two pictures are with Avery in Braids, the 1 and ONLY time we have done this, because everyone kept telling me what a beautiful daughter I had! Even with him in a football jersey and basketball pants he still kept being mistaken for a girl!

Yup She Is THAT Talented...

Keli Anderson is my awesome photograher...she has done my Bridals, and Family pictures and Evan's newborns & 6 month pictures, I love this lady! I met with her on Monday and did Evan's 6 month pictures. Here are a few of them. I can't wait to see the rest! Thanks again Miss Keli! You once again ROCK!

Yes...I Am That Queen....

Eeek! I am a Queen! Hahahahahahahahaha I Am Da Queen Of.....My Office Cell...Yes...Because at home I am out numbered, the only other female in the house is the Kitty Mittens..YES! This is awesome! Finally someone realized I'm not a total nerd!?! Thanks Mamarazzi!!!

Woohoo...off to do my Happy Dance....

A Wee Bit Of Me Wednesdays

{one} do you still use a checkbook?
Yes but only for the a few things, 1 for the utility bill we get every 2 months, another for Avery's school lunch and most recently for my flu shot the gave out at work...Yup that's about it! Everything else is a debit card!

{two} what size shoe do you wear?
Depending on the shoe it's either a 6 1/2 or 7. From what I have been told I have really tiny feet, to bad I can't say that about my waist line...dang it!

{three} scary movies or happy endings?
I perfer happy endings because I am not a fan of scary movies at ALL but I will watch them from time to time just because the husband likes them.

{four} do you prefer spontaneity or stability?
Stability by far...I am way to anal organized for spontaneity! Ugh that would drive my OCD insane!?

{five} what is the most embarrassing cd that you own?
I personally don't own a CD I am embarressed to admit...however another person that I share a bed with everynight that will remain nameless (cough..Richard...cough cough)owns the Spice Girls cd....SERIOUSLY?!? Yeah I was a tad scared myself. That and the Backdoor errr Backstreet Boys...come on?!? He said it was a phase...yeah whatever!?!

{six} do you watch reality tv?
I watch Hells Kitchen and I will admit to watching Teen Mom, but there was a good reason I started watching it, there was a girl on there who gave her baby up for adoption and with me being adopted it was kinda interesting to watch from the Mom's view after she gave the baby up and now well, I'm sucked in...blah...oh well....I like it!

{seven} what is your favorite home-made meal?
If my Mommy makes it? Her pork ribs in the red sauce with rice...it is SO GOOD!!!!! Infact I need her to make it now....mmmm Ribs.....

Don't Mess With A Dog & Her Cupcake......

That Crazy Lady With The Camera......

Pictures are a amazing way to capture pieces of your life. It's amazing that you can look at a picture from years before and remember that certain time in your life being good or bad. I love the fact my background on my computer will randomly change, it allows me to see pictures from the past I haven't seen in ages. I love taking pictures of my family, you never know how much longer you will be with them! After someone is gone, you only have picture of them & memories. I love my blog, it allows me to tell more about a picture that I might have forgotten by just taking the picture, I think it's better than a baby book, I love it and I recommend it to anyone! The pictures above I am going to give a reason to each one as to why I like them.

1. This picture was taken on my 30th Birthday...6/28/10....I convinced that the moment I turned 30 I was considered OLD and the grey hairs would start to pop out and I would have this urge to eat dinner at 4:30....amazing non of that happened...I know I'm crazy at times but hey that's just me! This picture is to remind me I am not some old lady, I am still me!

2. Wedding picture of Richard and I, I love this picture, it's a view from my point of view during the ceremony portion. I love the look on his face, it reminding me how he held my hands, I remembered how his hands were shaking just a little bit and they were sweaty, I loved how he kissed me that day, it had much more passion than an everyday kiss, I loved it. This picture brought back all the memories, amazing if you ask me.

3. Papa & Evan...I love this picture, Papa loves holding the babies, and the babies just seem to melt in his arms. Something about watching them together that just fills my heart up with love. Evan had been fussy but the moment he got with Papa he calmed right down and fell asleep.

4. My boys..I love this picture. It shows my boy's personality's. Toby is a total middle child..things will be done his way and don't try to change that! The other 2 are easy going...for the most part!

5. This was taken the day after Avery's first birthday, it was also Easter. I love this picture, he still has that bunny and he Carry's it with him everywhere, I need to take a picture of him next to it now to show how big he has gotten! I love how the bunny is as big as him in the picture. I love how little he looks, I miss my baby....

I might be the crazy picture/camera lady but honestly I am totally OK with it!
