The simple things

Today is Easter Sunday, and Lola's Baptism. It was wonderful to dress up and go to church. We don't get this dolled up very often so out came the camera. I love this pics, and I will probably post too many...oh well.

It's those cute smiles, mischievous faces, little giggles, big hugs and kisses. It is the simple things that put those big smiles on your faces.

She is my little dolly, as my grandma would call her. God rest her soul.

 I love his smile

And hers....

Awww, they stopped fighting long enough to take this... haha j/k

These candid ones are the best...

and a little hockey before church....

needed to fit me in here some where.

We were sitting in church today, and I looked over, all I could see was Grandpa smiling at Lola. It's Love.

This was her day, I am so blessed to have her, (as well as my cute son)

Happy Easter

Friday Confessional

I can't believe it's Friday again!

I confess I have been extremely lazy this week. Now that the weather is finally getting nicer outside I hope this laziness disappears.

I confess I blame my laziness on my pregnancy. I know I will be running after three soon.

I confess I should get on my treadmill for a little energy boost. It's just the thought of doing it.............

I confess I organized my SHOES and wonder what was I thinking buying a pair of 4 inch black pumps that I never wear as well as a 4 inch hot pink pair?? 
Because they looked so damn good on that store shelf, I just needed to have them. My babies that I will probably never wear........I can damn well dream....Right? I would probably fall or break my ankle if I did..........

I confess I have an addiction to shopping for almost anything. 

I confess I buy my two year old daughter way more clothes than my four year old son. It is just so darn easy to buy for her...all those cute girlie clothes, shoes and accessories. Oh god help me if I have another girl....... I need to breathe....

I confess my husband thinks that his pair of new sandals from LAST year should do him for the next ten years.......I think he is nuts. That just digusts me. ewww those smelly stale gross things. 
Thank god he has me to buy him new ones and dress him. Good gosh he would still be wearing his clothes from high school if he didn't meet me.

My hubby had laser surgry last Friday. I confess it's weird for me to know he can see everything without glasses. Including me (if you know what I mean....) wink wink

Happy Easter!

 This Time I'm embracing the camera with me and my baby belly.

I thankfully remembered to take pictures. It's so easy to forget to photograph my growing baby from time to time.

O.k.

I confess my children are the most important thing ever. Their little beings bring me so much joy. I am blessed to have healthy children, I am so happy to get good results from their doctor. Nothing like living in pure agony, to be relieved with good news.

I confess I feel sorry for my husband, he just had laser surgery and needs to wear some funny looking goggles with tape all over his face. I thought I wanted glasses for a "new look".  Seeing him today makes me happy I don't wear glasses, or want them.

I confess I hate getting up early. I had to get up early this morning to take my hubby in for laser surgery and it just plain sucked. I love getting up and NOT rushing out the door. I love getting up and not feeling like I am half asleep, all groggy eyed and disoriented.

I confess I am feeling Rather full right now. I chowed down on one of those juicy fast food burgers and fries on our way home. It was so good, especially when I have been craving it for a while. I think the baby wanted it. haha.

I confess I am rather disgusted by my burger right now, and probably will eat salad for the next 3 days.

I confess I Love my baby kicking and moving inside of me all the time. I feel like a whale.

I confess I wear jeans when I go out, but as soon as I get home, the poor kids are still in their jackets while I am changing into those comfy stretchy pants. What would life be like without stretchy pants?

 I don't ever want to find out. :)

O.k. guys that's it for this week.

I also confess it feels so good to confess about the stretchy pants thing. :)

Now it's your turn.



Colored Cupcakes

The kids and I were bored one afternoon, we so I decided it's time to bake. I love baking with the kids, each one takes turns dumping the ingredients into the bowl, stirring, licking, and tasting.

It's very simple:

1 white cake mix, and prepare as directed

To get such vibrant color I used Wilton food coloring.

I divided the batter into 6 bowls and added the food coloring.

Then it's time to fill the muffin cups and bake as directed.

I tried to make some of these look like Easter bunnies, I think I need to practice a little more.

My kids are not usually cupcake or cake eaters, except for the icing. I have never ever seen them eat the whole darn thing. 

Cheers to cupcakes!

Embrace the Camera

Embrace the Camera

This week we took the kids to the farm to check how many baby claves we had. We toured around on the RTV and took advantage of another melting sunny spring day, enjoying the new cute baby calves.

I got a picture snapped of the kids and I, thanks to my lovely husband who took the picture.

At least I look happy, when the kids see the camera they like to put on their grumpy face....aww their still cute

Be sure do link up with Emily here:



the simple things

I have many favorite things, this one tops my list.

The best part about any day is after a long day of play, lots of giggles, sticky hands, and no's, snuggled in their bed, clean from their bath with their cute p.j.'s ready to go to sleep, to get ready for the next day of play it's story time. This is the best part of my day.

Each kiddo has their collection of storybooks, these are just a few of My favorites. All snuggled in tight, ready for storytime, it doesn't get any better.

Friday Confessional

I confess I love my mornings, messy hair, cartoons, newspaper, cereal and milk.

I confess I miss my morning coffee, but soon I will be able to drink it again. Tea will do until then.

I confess I feel and look (well that is a given)  much better when I do my hair and a little make-up in the morning, even if I am staying at home all day.

I confess I am glad I got a suprise phone call, and a much needed visit.

I confess I should do playdates more often. Why is it so easy not too?

I confess I need to take my kids outside for some spring time fun.

I confess I have good intensions of doing this for the last 4 days and never got there yet. eeerrrr!!!

I confess I am watching a soap right now. I should be outside.

I confess I should dust off my to-do list and kick some butt.

I confess mama went shopping and is hiding the bills from daddy.

I confess mama will make it up to daddy some how.

I confess daddy made mama mad, so mama is not to worried out it.

Well that's a scrambled up list of this week confessions, but it will do.

Now I really need to get outside, with my camera and rubber boots.

Happy Spring!
