Baby Legs!
Posted on August 7, 2009
Seriously, how cute is this!?

I’m not talking about her tush. Though that is seriously cute too.
I’m talking about these.

Baby Legs! I saw these on a blog I read regularly, Chasin’ Mason. Megan, Mason’s mom had these on her adorable little man, and I just loved them!

Lily has been crawling…or attempting to crawl and she rubs her little knees raw. I thought these would be perfect. Megan pointed me to Baby Legs and now I’m hooked!

They’re one size fits most, so Ava can wear them for ballet, or for a cute outfit. They go on your legs, or arms, whatever! And they come in tons of different patterns and colors. So, I bought a few pairs of them. And I’m eyeing more…

This may become an obsession, I’m afraid.
These ones are called super soft. And well, I can’t explain how super soft they are. They feel divine. I think I might wear them.

My favorite part of these on Lily’s little legs? How the dots get stretched as they go up her too stinkin cute thunder thighs.

So, to help me with my obsession, I’m giving away 4 pairs of Baby Legs (of their choosing) to one reader! My first contest! So excited!
To enter, please leave me a comment and let me know what you would do with a pair of Baby Legs. If your adorable little one would wear a pair, if your teenager wants a pair for himself, or if you think you want to make a fashion statement at work, whatever, let me know! I will randomly select a winner out of the comments (using random.org).
One entry per person. Contest ends at 9pm CST Friday evening, Aug 7th. The winner will be announced on Saturday morning.
Good luck!
**Contest is over! Any comments posted after 9:00pm CST will not count towards the contest.**
**The winner will be announced Saturday morning! Thanks everyone for playing!**
Nice try, Kid.

Me: “Morning baby.”
Ava: “Good morning.”
Me: “Go wake up Daddy and ask him to go to the store to get some milk, so you can have some cereal this morning.”
Ava: “Um…How ’bout cereal without milk?”
Me: “You don’t want milk in your cereal?”
Ava: “No, just cereal.”
Me: “Ok. Do you want a banana?”
Ava: “Yes please. And chocolate milk.”
Me: “Well, we don’t have milk right now.”
Ava: “How ’bout chocolate without milk?”
Me: “Yea, nice try, Kid.”
I.Cant.Wait.

Please hurry up and become available. Right now. Actually, yesterday would be good.
Please pray for Stellan

Whether you pray or not, whether you believe in God or not, do this little 9 month old baby boy a favor and believe long enough to say a prayer for him. Stellan, his mom, MckMama and the MckFamily could use your encouragement and your prayers.
Speaking of Eyes…

This is me teaching Ava that she can cross her eyes. *giggle*

Morning smiles
Posted on June 25, 2009
I get to wake up to this smile every morning.

And this one…

Oh my…
And this one too…

And this adorable double chin…

And this elbow dimple…

*swoon*
And this too…

I’m truly blessed. <3
Happy Anniversary!!
Posted on June 16, 2009
This past weekend was mine and Todd’s 6th wedding anniversary. When our wedding anniversary comes around, we usually call it our anniversary weekend. We met on June 12th 1999, our first date was June 15th, 1999 and we were married on June 14th, 2003. So it’s been 10 years since I met him. And I can say without a doubt that I am more in love with him than the day I married him, and I pray I fall more in love with him every day. He’s the only one who really gets me. The real me. There is no one else in this world who could laugh at my sarcastic humor the way he does. There is no one else who can be completely on the same page as I am like he is. He can still finish my sentences (although I truly hate it when he does) and we often find ourselves thinking the same thing. Actually, more than often. Sometimes it’s strangely sureal how often we are walking around in each other’s heads. We’re not like some of those couples (God bless them) who can say they’ve never had an argument. No, I think we’re both too hot headed for that. We probably have argued every day actually. But it makes us stronger and closer together. And we’ve made it through everything. We’ve had some really great times. And we’ve had some really hard, horrible times. But there is no one I would rather have at my side than him. I thank God for giving me the perfect man for me. My handsome, funny, incredibly intelligent, goofy, sexy, talented, fun, helpful, and caring man. Love you honey. Thanks for being the perfect husband for me and the best father to our beautiful daughters. I hope to spend a lifetime of years with you.

About a month after we met.

Being our normal goofy selves.



- Our wedding day.
If sunsets looked like this at my house…
Posted on May 26, 2009
I wouldn’t be looking to move.

This is the view from my sister’s back yard. Pretty much every evening they get sunsets like this.

Sigh…

I so want to live in the country. Well, this isn’t the country. Not really. But it’s definitely more rural than where I live. And there is corn. Everywhere.

Here’s the view from my window:

Awesome. And the car is perfect too because the traffic is non stop. See where that white house is? Usually that view is obstructed by a freight train. About the only thing remotely nice about that view is the birdhouse. But…there are no birds in it. Yay. I’m moving soon.
I’m short.

Just in case you didn’t know. I’m 5′0″. Well, I was. I recently found out that I’ve grown since my mid-twenties. I’m actually 5′2″. Anyway, I went shopping for some new jeans, seeing as my old jeans are maternity jeans and they are HUGE on me. I went to my favorite store in the world, Torrid. Torrid is for women who have some junk in the trunk. They have jeans and shirts and dresses that…get this…actually fit!! Most popular stores seem to think that if you have a larger size waist, you must be 10 feet tall. And if you’re short, you must be a size 0. Yea no. I have meat on my bones..and a little jiggle. And I’m short. (“I like ‘em big, I like ‘em chunky, I like ‘em big, I like ‘em plumpy, I like ‘em round, with somethin something. Sorry…if you have young kids, you’re probably singing along.) Anyway, I bought a couple jeans that were labeled “short”. Usually I can get jeans from Torrid that fit me perfectly…even my height. But… well… here ya go.
Newsflash – I’m short.
Woohoo!
