NOT ME!! Monday

I most certainly did not water down my girls milk the other night so that we would have enough for in the morning so that I would not have to go out and buy some more.

I most certainly did not close the door to the computer room and tell my girls that mommy was working on important business so I could check facebook and my blogs.

I most certainly did not cut in line at the grocery store (in front of TWO elderly ladies) and race back to the preschool to pick up the oldest... thinking that it was Wednesday and school let out at 11:20 when in all reality it was only Tuesday and they got out at 11:30

What have you not done?

New `Do....

I am in the process of getting my butt in gear and working on my blog......but there is always something else to do......

However, I did cut my hair and I mean cut...... 6.5 inches to be exact

I will be blogging again soon..... I think...... : )

Donald

We just got this picture from Donald in his uniform at NMMI!!!!! We are so proud of him! I had a chance to talk to him today and he is doing great. Enjoys baseball and the marching is ok....... he runs 1-3 miles everyday and starts classes on Wednesday! He has made many new friends and his only complaint was that the eggs for breakfast are the powdered eggs ugggghhhhh! We are going to see him next week I cannot wait!!!!

to bunk or not to bunk

So the time is coming closer when I am going to move Brylen from the nursery to a big girl room. Granted I still have some time..... the plan is not to move her until her second birthday (December 7th) but I like to plan and try to have it all laid out before I begin. So the thought has come up weather or not to bunk the girls together. I have talked it over with Brinley and she is for the idea but what if shes not after we have Brylen all moved in. I love the idea of them sharing a room and having the closeness and consoling that could come out of sharing a room. However, I do want to be on my toes and move them to separate rooms before the time comes that they are arguing over personal space. So I think that they could share a room for a couple or so years. If we do decide on rooming them together the issue of beds comes up. So I have been looking a bunk beds and I am really liking them so far, or do I go with a single queen bed? Or do I scratch the idea all together and put them in separate rooms. The computer room has long been designated as Brylens room but it could become an extra bedroom for a couple of years...... and the nursery could become a sitting/computer room....... : )
So what to do? What are yalls thoughts?

Now its time for the ugly bruises to come out we are for sure going to see the rainbow in these!


Today has been just gorgeous the girls have been playing outside most of the day. Brylens new word is bird and will point at the sky when she says it.... I wasn't able to catch her doing so but did get her talking to this 'bird' in the flower beds.


We absolutely LOVE our Goldendoodle Quinn. He is great dog for the girls and puts up with so much!

Boot Scootin.......

I got a new pair of boots on Sunday and I am so in love with them I had to share them with you. They are famous..... they were made for an ad in Cowboys and Indians and when I went to get measured to have some made for me I tried these on and they fit perfect.....meant to be!!!!

Today is day 3 post accident and Brinley is getting better.... she is complaining less of her head hurting and the swelling is slowly going away.This morning I was at the sink washing some dishes and I turned around and this is how I found the girls eating....... never mind that the youngest is on the table and not strapped into her seat lets look at the posistive.........at least they were sharing : )

I LOVE THIS LITTLE GIRL!!! She really loves to boogie!!!!
She got it from her momma! : )

Brinley and the ground had a fight and the ground won.........

Yesterday Brinley was riding and had a bad fall, she is going to be fine no broken bones just needs time to heal. She is pretty sore and badly bruised but as soon as she woke up this morning she was begging me to go riding. Nothing stops this girl. The swelling has gone down a lot in the last 24 hours so we are thankful for that. Below are some of the pictures I have taken of her.
