**Weekend Wrap Up**

This weekend was a busy one.. my eyes are burning as I type this because I am just plain exhausted!

Friday--Dropped Mikayla off at school bright and early, Took Harlo to the vet, and headed to Eckerts to grab some apple cookies and apple cider for Mikayla's class ((I'm such an awesome mommy)) just for fun snack =). 

Kennah at Eckert's picking up the cookies

Dropped off the snack at school....came home and showered while Mic cleaned out the shed and planted some plants down our driveway. I picked Mikayla up from school and we headed to the nail place to get our nails and toes did up for the weekend. I absolutely L.O.V.E. my nail place.. they all know me and my girls by name and its just so "comfy" in there! After we were done, we ran to Rural King to grab some bullets for the new 22 Mic got for me  him to go hunting with, came home, ate and headed to the Belleville Judo Club so Mikayla could wrestle her duals. She lost her match 10-2 but she fought her little heart out so I was a happy momma. After duals we stopped at Smoothie King and then headed to Wal-Mart for a few things. Mikayla's best friend Teagan stayed the night with us that night, Kennah went to stay the night with his family and Landon stayed at Namaw and Papa's since we were at the duals so late... Came home from Wal-Mart.. watched TV for a bit and called it a night.

 (he's a little special.. I know, but he always makes me laugh)

Saturday--Mikayla & Teagan were up by 7, playing Nintendo DS and watching TV... I didn't get up until about 8.. I was just too sleepy! When I got up I got dressed, got the kiddos ready and decided to take them out to Steak n Shake for breakfast. Mic and Landon met us there... we got kinda crappy service and Landon made a HUGE mess.. but the food was yummy =)

Here's Teagan and Mikayla at breakfast

After breakfast we ran to Target to get a birthday card for Mikayla's friend Calie.... and I may of gotten a few other things =) 

((I always spend WAY too much at Target.. its my weakness))

Here's Landon in a super cute hat that he wouldn't leave on his head so I didn't buy it =(

After Tar-Jay we came home, I got ready and we headed out to watch Nick ((I call Nick my other son because we love him to death.. he's practically ours during wrestling season)) play some football at the Little Knights

From there I dropped Mic and Landon off and headed to Chuck E Cheese for a birthday party. Mikayla & Teagan had a blast! They had a lot of new games there... it was a pretty good time, I gotta admit.

I met Mindy (Teagan's momma and my bestest friend) and we did a kid swap. I came home and we went out to shoot the girls BB gun in the yard... they LOVE doing this.

We had a little bonfire outside and played this silly game we got at Rural King called "Flickin' Chicken." Came in.. cleaned all my monkey's and they were all out by 9:30 and me and Mic watched x-men... well I slept and he watched it =)

Sunday--Today is 9/11 and its all I've thought about today... I love the way our country pulls together when need be.. and stands up for ourselves.  I love the way NOBODY has forgotten all of those involved in that horrible day.

Here is a picture I took today... I love it.

We took the girls to a Cardinal Game today. It was hot at first but then the shade covered us and it was PERFECT!

We had dinner with My mom and step-dad at Texas Road house, came home and let the kids play outside and shoot the BB gun ((Mic even let me shoot him in the butt...I about died laughing.. he was too dang funny!))

Until it was time for baths... and now ((thank you sweet baby Jesus)) its bed time for all my babies!! Hope your weekend was a great as mine! =)

The Apple of My Eye

Yesterday morning we all got up, got the kids dressed, fed, and Mikayla ready for school. I dropped her off and came home... decided to sweep the floor.. then I decided I should move the couch and sweep under that.. that led to moving the tv and sweeping under that also.. ((in the mean time I had laundry going and ended up completely catching it up)) then I vacuumed the bedrooms and decided to steam mop the hard wood... once everything was clean I got all my fall stuff out.. I was pretty wore out... but because I can't ever sit still, I decided to take the kids apple picking at Eckerts. My mom came with us and we had a great time!

 I love my mommy... she's the best

 Landon loved picking apples. It was so cute.

 So much fun! and it was SO beautiful out!

 Landon wouldn't look up because the sun was in his eyes =(

 Trying to find the perfect apple.

 I LOVE THIS PICTURE!

I bought the little pumpkin planter and the flowers are Eckerts and we planted them when we got home =)

After the cleaning and Eckerts fun I was WHOOPED! No worries though, I came home and cooked dinner, cleaned that up, and then spent 2 1/2 hours in the ER ((thats another story in itself.. but everyone is ok, nothing too serious.. just a little impetigo on Kennah in a not so nice spot on her body)) So I'm hoping today is A LOT more chill.. guess we will see, you never know what will happen when you have three little ones!

I am declaring it Fall!

The leaves, pumpkins, bonfires, trick or treating, chili, and hoodies are some of my most favorite things in the world... sooo I couldn't wait a second longer to put out my fall decor! Here's what I got so far...

I'm thinking Friday I'm gonna head out to get baskets and mums to put in them and maybe some pumpkins, cornstalks, and a hay bail if I can find any yet. Lets hope I didn't jinx this amazing weather =)



Grab Button

ARGGHHHHH!!!

Ok, I feel a little better... I can't flippin figure out how to post a "grab button" with the code box under it. Anyone know a simple way to do this? I got my button made.. now I'm just trying to post it with a code box. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Weekend Wrap-Up!

I'm pretty sure the weather had a huge part in this.. but what an A-mazing weekend! The hubby was off all weekend and we did lots of relaxing and hanging with the kiddos.

Friday we took the kids to incredible pizza.. ate, played games, and rode the go carts.

Saturday.. Took the girls to get pictures, went to lunch at Jefferson's with Mic, the kids, and the in laws.. came home and relaxed (or attempted to... remember I have 3 kids, a husband, and a puppy!) for the rest of the night.. and watched a horrible movie called Win Win. Oh and gave Harlo her first bath!

Sunday morning my dad stopped by to see me and the kids on his way home from work and Mic worked on the landscaping. I hung out inside for the most part and did stuff around the house.... then we went to Texas Roadhouse to dinner, came home and let the girls hit some balls in the back yard. =P

Monday morning we got up and took the kids to the Labor Day parade.. it was the longest parade EVER but the kids had a blast picking up candy.. and they made a haul! Thank god a popsicle broke in the bag and ruined over half the candy so I had a legit reason not to keep all that candy! After having lunch at Margarita's I dropped Mic and the kids off at home and went to get this done

They didn't hurt too bad... but bad enough to be glad its over with! I can't wait till I can change them out. I found these cute ones I want to put in

After I got done at Ink Well, we headed over to Dave & Mindy's house so Mic could do his fantasy football draft and I could see my bestie Mindy. The draft took way longer than I thought it would but I was glad that Mindy and I got to catch up a little and our kids could all play. After we left there we went to Texas Roadhouse AGAIN for dinner =) Came home... baths and bed!



My week had already gotten off to a fabulous start too! Spent my day so far like this

Sunday Love..

-That'S WhaT I LovE AbouT SundaY-

LovE - Weekends with no "real" plans.. things get done when we don't have much going on! The horrible ongoing shed project got worked on, and is almost ready to be wrapped up! and the landscaping is getting finished today! Whoop Whoop!

LovE - Waking up to a gloomy morning with all 4 of my loves piled into my bed... it really doesn't get much better than that!

LovE - The cooler weather... Don't get me wrong, I love summer... but 105 degrees day after day was getting a little old! When I saw this weeks forecast all I could think was ZOO!!

LovE - itunes... I've been a music junkie lately... music in the car, music in the bathroom while I'm getting ready... LOVE it! I've downloaded all these old songs that bring back so many memories and I love getting lost in them.

LovE - Being tan! I'm tanning again... I hate being pasty white and I was starting to get that way. Eck!

LovE - That tomorrow is a holiday and I get another day with my hubby at home!

LovE - Fall decor... this gloomy cool day has got me wondering.. Is it too early to decorate for Halloween??

Love to you all!
