Busy Weekend!

Wow that weekend went way to fast!! We kept so busy. We were so busy I forget what we even did on Friday! We will chuck Friday to us laying low and not doing much since I don't really remember it. Moving along....

Saturday we got up and I had to get my hair done by Miss Gina at 9:00. So I rushed to her shop and she got my hair all prettied up for the day. Don't you love it when someone else fixes your hair and you don't have to bother with it? I do! So once that was done I was on my way home Todd called and told me we had a house showing at 2. By now it is 10. Okay our house is clean I mean really clean but there is always little stuff to be done. So I rushed home to keep an eye on the kids while Todd did some things to get it ready for the showing. Mind you our house had only been on the market for less than 24 hrs. So with that being said the large things that we had wanted to do Todd had to rush to do because face it it was more guy stuff to be done. So I gathered both boys up and we went to Brayden's last basketball game for the season. Their team won of course and they were presented with trophies.

Once that was over we ran back past the house to do a clothes change for Brayden then we went our separate ways. Todd and Brayd had to go to the barber for a hair cut. Todd had to many grays showing for his liking. Personally I kind of like his little specks its a little sexy but hey he won't listen. While the big boys did that Gannon and I decided we were hungry so we loaded up and went to Qdoba for some veggie nachos. We both loved them a lot.

Once that was done we all finally met up and I took everyone with me to the grocery store.  Note to self do not do that again. Goodness sakes I had Todd and Brayden throwing items in the cart and taking their time. This mom was on a mission to hurry up grab what we needed and get out. I was going to make chili for supper that night but that didn't happen, I ended up getting a migraine so I just kind of hung out.

Sunday we went over to Grandpa and Grandma's house  (Todd's parents) and had salads and baked spaghetti. It was very yummy. We cleaned up from eating and grandpa had to leave on a business trip. Grandma, Brayden, and myself made some Valentine cookies and chocolate chip cookies together.

We all had fun baking together. Grandma and myself had some wine while we were baking. We sure do enjoy our wine! We then played for a little bit and then packed up and came home and got ready for Monday. Side note they have six golden retrievers that live inside their house. My buddy yesterday was Sonnie. He kept coming up to me giving me lovins so of course I had to get his picture!

Handsome big boy

Are you ready for Confessional Friday?

Alright everyone as always I am linking up with Leslie from a Blonde Ambition for Confessional Friday!


1. I have done much better this week about going to the gym. I have went ONE time! :) Hey that is way better than not going at all like I have been doing. My one time going to the gym I met up with my friend Tiffany (we went to h.s. together and were on the dance team together) and we had a nice workout/vent session!


2. I haven't been to the grocery store in two weeks. We are trying to go just twice a month. I am kind of liking that BUT it is hard to plan meals for two weeks. I have started making a list for ten meals to make for the two weeks. Lets face it we all know there will be left overs. I have done this for a month and it is really working out.

3. I get really excited for Sunday mornings because we get the Sunday paper. Ya'll know what comes in the Sunday paper...COUPONS! I feel like it is Christmas when I get to go through it. I cut out what I want and then send a email to my mother in law and vice versa. Hey we are doubling up that way!

4. When my oldest has on a really cute handsome outfit I always pose him in the same place. I have came to realize that I really love that location because in the background is mine and the Mister wedding picture/album.

 See it up there on the mantel? Isn't he handsome? His new thing is for me to "style" his hair!

Of course I couldn't post a picture without showing off my lil man too! :) 

5. And for the last confession...I have to be a little vague on this but will fill in when I can. There is a new adventure that is coming up for our family and couldn't be more excited and nervous about it all at the same time. I just hope and pray everything works out the way I have it planned in my head! :)

Please share your confessions! Don't forget to become a follower. I am going to do a give away soon once we get some followers!! 

A few things...

 Did you guys watch the Bachelor last night? Okay what was up with Jamie giving step by step instructions on how to kiss? That was just awkward to watch period. Todd and I crack up every week when Chris Harrison comes and tells everyone there is one rose left. What is the point of that? It looks like maybe next week Courtney just might get the boot...let's hope and keep our fingers crossed!

 

 

I found this the other day and thought it was so funny. I hope this makes you laugh like it did me. I don't know about you but I think this would be so great if they got onto Ellen. I love to watch her as she does great things for so many people. 

Super Dancers "flash mob" surprises 2012 Super Bowl travelers at IND air...

I found this and thought ya'll might enjoy it! We never did go downtown to enjoy the festivities for the Superbowl but it was neat hearing all about it! :) 

Weekend Recap

Hey everyone! I hope y'all had a wonderful weekend! Did you guys watch the Superbowl? I have to say my fave commercial was the Doritio one with the Great Dane! I LOVE Great Danes!!! Anyhow shall we proceed with the weekend?

Okay Friday I picked Brayden up early from school to go to the eye doctor. He just got some bifocals and I have never dealt with bifocals before. I thought he was not seeing correctly out of the bottom part of the lens. Apparently he is, it just takes time to get used to it. Whatev he loves to wear his new glasses. I think he likes it so much because his best friend at school also has glasses. He tried to tell Todd and I that he needed glasses for a few months and I just kind of blew it off. Now I feel horrible because he really did need them. I thought he was wanting them due to his friend having them. Once that was over I ran through Wendy's and grabbed a special treat for him since he done so well at the doctor. Then we waiting on daddy to get home. Once Todd got home we all just chilled in the family room as a family and watched TV.

Saturday came and I had to wake Todd up early. He had to go to the state fairgrounds and pack up his wheel display that he had up. Side note a couple of weeks ago the Director of Marketing for the NFL called him and asked him if he could do a wheel display for a few of their VIP parties. So once he got home we got ready for Brayden's game. Papaw and Grandpa both came to watch the game. Mamaw and Grandma weren't able to make it but that's okay because once the game was over Brayden sent his snack to Grandma. Brayden then decided he needed to go stay the night with Papaw and Mamaw. So while Brayd was gone with Papaw Gannon and daddy decided to take a nap. While it was quiet in the house I watched a movie and was waiting on the IU game to come on. Once the two boys woke up we decided on Chinese for supper. Todd went and grabbed it for us then we sat and watched IU kick Purdue!

On Sunday we got up and went down to Mamaw and Papaw to visit and to pick up Brayd. We stayed most the day and hung out. It was nice to finally see them. We had not seen them for about a month. My mom had her left knee replaced so we were giving her time to recover before my wild boys came over. We ended up leaving to try to give us enough time to get home to watch the start of the Superbowl. We missed the first 10 mins but we were able to listen to it on the radio. Todd and I really enjoyed the halftime show of Madonna! We both felt she rocked it!!

Here is a pic of Gannon acting silly on Saturday. Since we had a couple of picture of Brayden of course Gannon had to get in on the action! :) Also if you are on instragram be sure to follow me. linsw00





How was your weekend?

Confessional Friday

Hey guys I am liking up with Leslie over at http://www.blondeambitionblog.com.

1. I am so glad that it is Friday. The past two weeks have really kicked my butt. It seems like something is always coming up and going wrong. I hope next week will be a lot better.

2. I have another guilty pleasure show that comes on Fridays. It's Sweet Home Alabama. It airs on CMT. If you have not watched it yet check it out!

3. I have hinted to my husband that I need another candle ordered. The only place that I like to get my candles now are from The Candleberry. www.candleberry.com  My next scent that I really want is the Hot Toddy. I really want to try it just because my husband's name is Todd.

4. Valentine's Day is coming up and I have no idea what to do for my husband. Anytime a holiday or his birthday or our Anny comes up I ask him what he wants and his response is "Babe I don't need anything". So then I have to figure it out for myself which is very difficult. He is not one that you purchase clothes for because he will end up taking them back. I bought him a jacket for Christmas and he took it back two times before settling on one.

5. I am very excited to see my parents this weekend. We usually do not go more than two weeks without seeing each other but my mom had her left knee replaced almost a month ago and we have kind of stayed away so she could get better. I know my kids are missing her like crazy!

6. I have been going to the chiropractor for three weeks now for him to try to help my back and it is not helping at all. I feel the same each week. I only have one or two more visits then I am done but I really like the office I go to....very friendly staff.

7. When my husband and I first got together...actually four months into our relationship he took me over to Spain and we traveled the southern part. His dad and mom were living over there so we stayed with them for 10 days. I want to go back so bad and take my kids so they can see it.


8. I am counting down the days until we go on vacation. We have yet to decide where to go for sure and when but I am excited we are going to go somewhere.


9. I have been slacking on my gym workout due to the back. I really need to get back into it. I am trying to decide if I want to wake up early morning and do my workout even though I am so not a morning person.


10. My favorite time of the day is in the evening after the kids have had their baths and we sit down as a family in the family room and talk, tell stories of our day, watch movies together, or even read books. I really enjoy watching the two boys and Todd wrestle on the ground. Nothing is better than hearing the kids laugh really hard! :)



So tell me do you have any confessions for this week?

Some randomness...

I feel like this week has gone so slow! Do any of you feel like that? I am so glad tomorrow is Friday!! This might be a little all over the place because I have a few random thoughts.

1. Brayden's last basketball game is on Saturday. I am so glad that Todd has been able to make every game. Usually in his line of work he has to work every other weekend but with it being winter they are trying something new and closing on the weekends for a few months.

2. Gannon and I went to pick up Brayden's pants before we picked him up from school. We had two pair of jeans hemmed. I have never been to this lady before, so when we went in I went to give her my debit card she said oh I take cash and checks. Who doesn't take debit cards anymore? So needless to say I wasn't able to pick them up. I rarely carry cash or checks on me.

3. I am trying to only grocery shop every two weeks. I like that I don't have to go to the store every week but it is hard to try to plan two weeks worth of suppers for all of us. I feel like I make the same stuff over and over.

4. I don't like that Brayden is getting older and he has stopped calling me mommy. He now calls me mom. For Todd he still calls him daddy. How does that happen? I do like it tho that he likes to have his hair "styled". By "styled" that means I wet it down and spike it up with gel and hairspray.

5. Gannon our 17 month old got a really crap haircut last week. I went to our regular barber but he was not around so I let some other guy cut it. Gannon has natural curls so I told the guy just a trim I wanted to keep the curls. He took the razor and took his hair down to his ears. Once he was done his hair looked like the dumb and dumber haircut. I had to go back so our regular barber could fix it. Did I mention I cried the entire way home, that day, and on the way back. My barber told me it was ok it would grow back. Yes it will grow back but A) he is not a female and doesn't know about the whole haircut deal B) Gannon now looks like a big boy.

6. The Superbowl is in Indy this weekend. I kinda want to go down and look at everything but on the other hand I really hate large crowds. Not to mention I don't want to pay $20 just to park.

7. I am really loving the weather we are having. If this could always be our winter I would be very very happy. I am not a cold weather person.

8. I had to come up with at least one more thing to put I didn't want to stop on an odd number. I really don't like odd numbers I am more of an even number person. Both of my kids and my bday are all on even numbers.






Do you have any random thoughts for this Thursday?
