Weekend Wrap Up

Why do weekends have to fly by so quickly? Its the time when Jim is home and we can all spend time together as a family. I love weekends. We usually don't have much of an agenda. Which is really nice.

On Friday, I got my Mothers day present early. (Thank you Jim! I love it!) Its a new Rainbow vacuum! Woohoo! Now, if my cousin Cody and his wife Ashley are reading this, they are probably laughing like crazy. Its. all. their. fault. that we purchased this vacuum to begin with. Cody asked me to see a demo of this vacuum so that Ashley could get the shampooer for FREE. So, being the wonderful cousin I am, I agreed. If anyone knows me, I am a sucker for a good deal (and so is Jim, but he wont admit it. Which is why I had 3 (THREE!) engagement rings, but that's another story) Long story short, I got a Rainbow. Not only is it an amazing vacuum, it also purifies the air! So Friday and Saturday, I cleaned my house like I have never cleaned it before. It was exhilarating! Now, if laundry gave me the same feeling, that would be perfect. But, it doesn't. The proof is in  the 748 loads sitting in my laundry room floor right now.

Anyway, on Sunday, since it was such a beautiful day, Jim and I decided to clean out our vehicles. I used the rainbow on both of them! It did fantastic! It looked like we had taken our vehicles to one of those amazing drive through places where they clean the inside and the outside of your vehicle in no time flat. I even used Armour All and Windex to clean the interiors as well. YAY! Go me!

All in all, we had a great weekend and are excited to go to see Jim's family for Easter this weekend. Hoping for beautiful weather and no rain!

I will leave you with this:

This is my Mason. 17 months old already. =( And that thing in his mouth, is his love, his "bee" he calls it. If he had it his way, he would have it in his mouth 24/7/365. I love his sweet smile. He is such a funny boy! This morning he got ahold of Jim's after shave and when Jim asked him to put it back, he hid it behind his back! Hes beginning to say a few more words, like "they too" (thank you), which I think is precious.
OH! I heard from T's baseball coach, practices start soon and I am suuuper excited! Cant wait to get some ball field dust on us!

Crafts

Well as some of you know, I heart crafting. I heart Hobby Lobby and everything thats in Hobby Lobby! My little hobby, has turned into a "side-business". Which I am super thrilled about. Since I stay at home with the boys, although I work my rear off with my kids (like any Mother), this gives me something to call my own. I dont pretend to be a "professional" by any means, so I just go with what I think looks good. Most of the time, this philsophy works. There have been two or three, okay four, times that it hasn't. I did have a blog for my "business" MomSquared Designs, but I deleted it. I will be doing good to keep up with one blog, theres no way I could keep up with two. Below are some examples of my work. If you would like to place an order, please contact me by commenting. Please refer to your friends also, I would certainly appreciate it.

 

All of these designs can be modified in any way you prefer. Just let me know what you have in mind and I will do my best to make it happen! AND if theres something that you would like, but its not here, please contact me to see what we can come up with. Plus, it will give me an excuse to go to Hobby Lobby again!



FIRST blog post

Well here it is! My first blog post! Ive been wanting to start a "mom" blog for awhile now. Who the heck knows why I haven't. I just haven't, okay? =)

I like to think that I'm pretty tech savvy. In fact, my husband thinks I am, which is exactly how I prefer it. No, in all seriousness, I can do your regular run-of-the-mill things, but when it comes to blog stuff, I find it a teeny bit confusing! So bare with me while I work all of this out. I will strive to be as creative and wonderful writer as my friend Erica. If you haven't checked out her blog, you should. She is such a great blog writer! Hello, Erica! (Oh and while I'm talking about Erica, you should go to her blog and help support her family's adoption. They have a sweet baby girl in Ethiopia that needs to come home and see her Momma, Daddy, brothers, and sister. )

I will update you on how our little family is doing now, since that's the main purpose of my blog to begin with..

TREVOR - Oh, Trevor. My sweet, 5 year old, Trevor. He is such a funny, smart, amazing child. Although there are certainly times when I would love to pinch his little head off, he is such a blessing to me. He came into my life at such an important time. I will forever credit him to changing my life, for the better (of course). He came at a time when I didn't *really* know who I was. Anyway, he is doing so well in school. I just received his latest report card. His lowest grade? 96%. I. mean. seriously. I hope (and I pray) he continues this trend. Great job, Bubba! Momma and Daddy are super proud of you! He will start parent pitch baseball soon and I'm sooooooo excited! Cant wait for my little lefty to show 'em what hes got!

MASON - Oh, Mason. My sweet, 17 month old, Mason. (See a pattern here) He is such a sweet, funny, curious, amazing little boy. Did I mention he is curious? Yes, Mason has to know the who, what, when, why about everything. He climbs. Oh man, does. he. climb! I'm also convinced that Mason cannot feel pain. He has fallen, hit his head, and hurt himself and not shed a single tear! Mason is an outside boy. He loves it! In fact, he throws a loop-legged fit when we have to come inside. He had tubes put in his ears this last Friday (4/8/11), and boy was this Momma dreading it. It, surprisingly, was quick and very easy on him! From the time I left him, until the nurse said they were done was TWELVE minutes. Amazing! He woke up hungry and thirsty! He was up and playing like normal THAT VERY AFTERNOON! I'm so glad that we are (hopefully) done with ear infections and high temperatures so we can enjoy the summer coming up and spend lots of time outside playing!

JIM - Oh, Jim. My sweet, thirty-fi       .....er.... never mind. Its time for bed!
