Yet another fun BRUPPER!!!

Tanner is becoming quite the cook. Our Sunday night meal is BRUPPER breakfast for supper. Something we do with the Arnetts. Well Tanner decided that our blueberry pancakes were to be yellow and we had green eggs again. He loves to cook and is soo fun to cook with!!!

Safari

In Tanners class right now they are learning about safari.. I had to show off the pictures of the safari gear they made in school!

Happy Feet

We went over to my moms house on wed. Sitting on her pool table was this cute stuffed animal. Well Tanner asked grandma if he could have it. She said it belonged to someone else and she was borrowing it. He let the room and I followed him. He stood over by the water cooler crying. I asked him what was wrong and he told me I just love penguins mom. SO I told him we could go to Target or to Walmart the next day to see if we could find one. Luckily my mom called and said it was his her friend gave it up. SO he slept with it and carried it around all morning, he even wanted to take it to school. Thanks mom!

Weekend..

This past weekend I did a trade for some redesign help.. I had an area in my living room that's just dead space. Lisa came and gave em some good ideas as well as re-arranged my kitchen cabinet tops. All the redesigning made me look at the window in the new "sitting" area and decide it needs some new curtains. Goodwill here I come. I got the set of curtains for 6 bucks you can't beat that!!!

HOw do you know..

How do you know your baby is growing up!?!? He loses his 1st tooth.. not a baby anymore!!!

So Sad

Sean left for Montana this afternoon. he won't be returning until Friday. I can honestly say I've never been so upset by my husband leaving. In a past life I used to look forward to the week alone I would get. I have never cried so much. I cried on the way to the airport, on the way home and most of the afternoon. I don't know why I bothered to put makeup on today.

First day of school..

We made it through the first 2 days of school and I think we are going to have an AWESOME year. Rylle has had the best attitude about things and I'm so happy to see it! tanner is loving his class and is always happier in school. Here are their pictures from the first day!

I love this idea!! I'm feeling the need for another thrift store run!!

Sunday Project

I started covering a photo mat a few months ago. I had it covered in solid red and paisley. Needless to say it sat unfinished for months!!! I got the uummppff to finish it today. I decided I no longer liked the red and went for blue and green!!! I love it!!! I even got it hung!

School shopping

We went back to school clothes shopping today.. How is it Tanner is wearing a 7 and Rylle a 10/12?? Where are my babies?!?! Tanner is soo excited and Rylle is like any other 10 year old not wanting to go back. I don't know what I'll do with my days with them gone! Tomorrow we are off to Target to get the "gear" They have crayons, pencils, markers, colored pencils etc for .30!! Yes folks that's 30 cents. Now we are just waiting for my parents to come over for dinner. Green chile chicken casserole!

Welcome back!

We made it home! It was soo sad to leave and it was even harder to leave 70 degree weather and come back to the billion degree weather!! here are a few pics so far from the trip

Ahh we made it!

We made it into Montana.. our flight was early and Seans dad was there! We picked up his mom and his cousin that's 12. So the kids are having a ball..we got in late slept in late. Now Tanner and Jessica and Seans mom are hangin around the house. Sean and rylle and Sean's dad went up to "Medicine" lake to take pictures..The weather is GEORGOUS!!! I just ditched my hoodie and it's 12:30. We went from 113 weather to the 80's it's great!!!

One More

Another page that I whipped up!!!

Just a few...

I figured since Sean had to work tonight I would do a little scrappin it's been almost a year since I did anything.. oh how time flies!!

Happy birthday to BOO!!!

Today is Rylle's 10th birthday. I never thought he would be soo big. He was born soo small, now he's 10!! I think that's where all the gray hair is coming from

Thanks mom

We went to Hobby Lobby tonight and we ran into my mom. Well the boys managed to extract a buck from her and I basically begged her to get this for me.. Here's the befores and the afters...

Rylle's first cooking experience

Rylle had the urge for some eggs the other day. He asked me if he could cook them himself, so I watched to make sure he didn't burn them or himself. I think he did a great job. He really is growing up :( He's got the big "10" birthday in 2 weeks!!!

YOu can't say this isn't cute!! This is Tanners little comfort zone. He went from dragging around a nite nite. To sleeping with a HOARD of animals. He looks to them for good dreams and protection. He even packs one or two when he sleeps over at grandmas house. When we went to Flag he forgot an animal. We searched high and low and FINALLY found a 10.00 small mmonkey at claires. We had to get the monkey otherwise he would end up in bed with sean and I.

Summer....

Thus far our summer has been soo uneventful. The kids are here on a daily basis ( yay ) So we've seen ALOT of movies and have spent ALOT of time by the pool. The kids are making the countdown to Montana. I asked the kids what if we can't go to Montana this year? Tanner informed me with hands on his hips " Grandma and Papa will be soooo mad at you!!!!" So needless to say we are still going. We would never ever take that away from them. I'm just counting down the days when we can send them off by themselves and meet them there later in the week!!!

Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to me!! Today is our 2 year anniversary. It seems so much longer than that. It feels like I have known him all my life. I love my hubby so much he's the greatset hubby and dad and has been such a blessing to me!

See this cute kid... well he will be in a "special" 1st grade class. I got a letter from the principal on his last day of Kindergarten. It says that he will be one of 6 advanced students that will be with this teacher. He will be with such a small class so that the teacher can better meet their needs. I am soo proud of him. His ar for the end of the year has him reading at a 3rd grade level. He has spent a few hours a week with the first grade class this year. He is soo smart and can spell like no other. I'm very proud of my kids

All Knowing Curtains!!!

Here are my curtains that I've carried the fabric around for more than 5 years!!! I love them. Also the solid wine ones are my new ones in the living room!!

My Goodwill Find!!!

Well I spent Sat all by myself. Sean had to work the NRA event in Phx. So I was enjoying my day no kids no hubby just me and monkey. Anyhoo... I decided that I needed to get out of the house, now mind you that I managed to finish all my curtains!!! So I decided to take a run to goodwill. You never know what kind of treasure that you will find. Well needless to say I found some cool crap and only spent 6 bucks!!!! That's my kind of price for nick naks!!!

FIBRO DAY!!!!

Please help support all those that have Fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia Awareness Day is May 12. This day promotes awareness and understanding of fibromyalgia, one of the most common types of chronic widespread pain in the United States.

More than 6 million Americans struggle with fibromyalgia, a real medical condition. It includes all-over muscle pain that can make it hard to do even day-to-day tasks. The pain may vary from mild to severe.

For many, the journey to diagnosis can be difficult. People with fibromyalgia may not know what is wrong with them or what is causing their pain. Diagnosis can take time. And even after a doctor makes a diagnosis, people with fibromyalgia need to learn how to manage it.

Fibromyalgia Awareness Day is also a good time to reach out to other people you know who suffer from chronic widespread pain or might want more information about fibromyalgia. You might consider sharing this e-mail with them as a start.

Mothers day!!

I have to say I had the best Mothers Day!! I got this awesome pink dress from aeropostale and some tank tops too. I also got some cute flip flops and folders from my mom. The boys also got me 2 12 packs of dp. I didn't have the heart to tell them that I don't drink caffeine. But I had the bestest day!!!

my Curtains

I Finally Finished and PUT up my new curtains that i made. I am soo proud of how they turned out. I've never sewn before and I was shocked I managed to do it without a pattern and Per Michelle I couldn't use stitch witch I had to pin everything down. So I did just that. For the next set I will be using stitch witch it would make it go sooo much faster!!!

May 12th. Please help bring awarness

To all my friends and family.. If you don't know anything about fibromyalgia please take time to educate yourself about what this disease is all about. I need all the support I can get.

Oh the Flu

I've had the flu for almost a week...Than Tanner comes home on Wed running a temp and guess what!!! He has the flu too..He was lucky enough to have had a flu shot so it hasn't been quite so bad on him. But I did not. So I've had the full blown lovely flu. I have to say thanks to my mom for the food and for getting Rylle on Thurs. that was such a huge help as were the snacks!!!

Thanks

I have to say thanks mom for giving me great teeth. I've had the WORST toothache today and i need a rootcanal on the back tooth. So needless to day I will be getting it done tomorrow since they couldn't fit me in today. There's not enough ibprofen or percocet out there to numb the pain.
