Birthday boy!

Can you believe it, Oscars 1!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again WHERE DOES THE TIME GO? It seems like yesterday Oscar was born, it really has been a whirl-wind of a year.

I sure do loves this boy, and I am so grateful that he is is in our family.

I would type more but I'm at my sis. house today; we are having our carpet replaced.

A few things...well more than a few

First of all, I want to say Congratulations to my bff on the birth of her baby boy!

I love you Kristy-pooh and am so glad you and your sweet baby are doing well.

Okay so no blogging in a while equals lots of catching up, I'll start with stuff I like and then go into SOME of the stuff that we did.

I just got this beautiful bracelet in the mail

I bought on etsy. The store is called

Telee Couture; she's really has some beautiful things!

My new favorite thing is my nike plus/ipod.
It tracks my calories, time, distance and other stuff, all while I listen to (don't judge) my new favorite workout song by Madona and J.Temberlake

My friend Farrah
took this way cute pictures of my kiddo's.This is what Mr. Ian's head looked like without the band aid 2 days after he fell down the steps at the in-laws home.
Oski does this now every time the camera is pointed in his directions, there is no sound when he makes this face either.

I burned the Crap out of my legs, it took 3 weeks to heal.
For my b-day my sweet hubby took us on a surprise little vacation to the great wolf lodge.
Anyway, I put sun screen on the whole family and my top half but thought no, I don't need to do my legs, I'll be in the pool the whole time. So this is what I learned, sitting on the lounge chair while holding a sleeping baby for 2 hours will burn my pasty white self.
It was very PAINFUL!!!!

Josh was in his schools talent show; he and his best friend did the s.n.l. sole man....It was a HOOT!!

I've seen more than enough of this face lately...seriously it's everyday with the drama!!!!

I just wanted to balance out the last pic with a happier one!!!

Gordon's sister got married and I made the cakes. The cake decided to break in half so we made one out of rice crispy treats (I iced it, you couldn't tell it wasn't the real thing).
Gordons Aunt and Grandma, part of the many family members that came to visit.

It's all because of my hubby that I was able to handle the last few weeks.
Thanks baby!

That's all folks

I Need help!!!

Here we are coming up to another holiday, and yet again I don't know what to get Gordon for Fathers day, he's such a good Dad I want to get him something good.
I welcome all ideas, even if you think it's a ridiculously expensive gift please tell me, it might spark another idea.
So, as my friends...and whom ever else may read my little'ole blog please, please help!!!

Just a few things....

I'm really getting sick of people telling me that not one of my children look like me...Seriously!

What do y'all think?

Why can't I keep the flowers I buy looking like this?
I think I should just stop trying on the whole growing thing!!!

This is one of my favorite pictures, obviously it's not because I look great in it. I love it because of my sweet boy; I know he's not going to look at me like this forever, so for now I'll take what I can get.
P.S. I do have to say my brows do look good in this shot.

Nena

This is a picture of me and my dear Grandmother on Mothers day.

How fortunate I've been to have her be apart of my life.
I love you Nena!

What the kids are saying....

Dad: Ian it's your turn to pick 3 songs for family night.

Ian: O.K. I got it!
We will rock you,
I am a child of God,
and
He has sent me here.

Way to go me!

So, I've got a little blurb about me in an online magazine blog thing called cookiemagazine and I am supper excited about it!

WARNING- Don't read if you get grossed out easily!!!!

Have your sinuses ever been so plugged up you wish you could take a garden hose and go to town? If so, do have I got the product for you!
Introducing the Neti Pot, quite possibly the strangest bit of pottery you will ever own.

Here's what it looks like:

Here's what you do with it:

mmmmmmmm... bugers!

hehehe, this tickles!

Ahhhhhhh! Now that's how I spell refreshment!

For Farrah...

This is Poe.

Are you ready....

I know this song is crude, but I like it a little...okay a lot. Don't Judge!

The time has come to post!

I've first got to start my long way over due blog by saying, my sweet little baby is 9 months old...he's not a little baby anymore! But he's still oh-so sweet.

He's been out as long as he was in!!!! Okay, so I have a crazy life, but it's also a very blessed one.

I have a great husband that I love and who is crazy about me, 4 great kids, wonderful family and friends, Gordon has his dream job, I have my Store and all the other things that I do....I really feel blessed! (that's been on my mind and I had to say it)

These last weeks have been full ones...we've spent a lot of time with our family, we've gone to the zoo, an airplane museum, movies, out to dinners, my regular trip's to North Park, lots of work, a trip down to my folks, blue and gold banquets, the list could go on and on.

So here are some of the highlights....

A teething baby kept me up, so dad and Oscar snuck into Ian's bed one morning to let me sleep.

I guess this is tradition, I don't know about this cub scouting thing.

Josh and his bff Connor


Ian loves to help in the kitchen, you never know I might have a chef on my hands.
Us sporting our aprons ( I got mine on etsy and I had to force Ian to wear his)



Garland off-spring getting at that candy.
Ian, Ben, Wilson and Maren at the Dallas Zoo.

Let me just tell you that I might be purchasing this harness for Ian.

Sweet baby Oscar



Hunting- Every picture of Ella is just like this one.


My sis's and me
(that little poof of hair behind D was my Mom trying to be silly but was too short to be seen)

The sisters trying to take a picture with out me

GG and Oski

Al's cute family...she looks so pretty

This was our only pic of the anniversary celebration.

The tie I got from etsy

along with a very Gordon belt (leather is the 9th year contemporary anniversary gift) and some other stuff I can remember.

There you have it, I hope this all made sense!
