Guess who's back!?!

Holy Hell I haven't been on here in almost TWO months! I've finally accepted the fact that I don't have time to be a regular blogger, so I'm just gonna update ya'll and blog when I get a free second (haha)

So... quick update

*Mikayla turned six in July... wrestled all summer at wrestling camps and is now a big FIRST grader!

*Makennah did gymnastics all summer and is now in three year old preschool at Zion Lutheran and she absolutely LOVES it! She's such a big girl now!

*Landon turned one in July and is walking running everywhere now! He's so flipping amazing! We started the little gym today and it melted my heart to see how much fun he was having.

This summer we swam a lot... went to parks.. hung out at the Dowdy's lake house down on Lake Egypt, went to story times, and got a new puppy. It was nonstop! I'm so ready for fall! Football, chili, Sons of Anarchy, Halloween.. I love that time of year! Hope every one's been good! Gonna go read everyone else's blogs now!

Thinking Happy Thoughts

I can't begin to explain how stressed I am about things that are going on in my life... I don't think I've ever felt this amount of stress before.. so I am going focus on my **loves** today, instead of the negativity that is trying to drag me down.

I love that no matter how down and out I am feeling... my kids smiles, laughter, and innocence always makes the struggle more than worth it.

I love that I am fortunate enough to be able to by my daughter what she wants for her birthday... today I wrapped her gifts and thought about how lucky I am to have a healthy, happy, perfect little girl who is about to turn 6 on Saturday.

I love that even though I am outraged at the verdict of the Casey Anothony case... I can still rest easy knowing that someday she will become face to face with the ultimate judge... who knows all.

I love that my little guy walks more and more everyday.. and its so flippin cute to watch him try to keep up with his sisters!

I love riding the Harley with my husband. It's the one thing that we do without the kids.. and I really enjoy it.

I love that Kennah gets the staples removed from her head tomorrow (after splitting it open last Saturday) and I can try to forget that feeling I felt while watching her hang onto a piece of wood for her life.

I love that I am going to Vegas in only 28 short days!!

Pheww! I feel a little better! Hope everyone is having a good Thursday... One more day till Friday!!



Long time no see!

So... Gotta new look on the spot... ya like??? Our family pictures turned out pretty good =) It was a stressful fiasco (like pictures with three kids always are), but well worth it. I will blog later.. I gotta get in the shower.. last time I messed around and blogged while Landon was sleeping.. he woke up right after I finally got in the shower, got off the bed, crawled over to my bedroom door, opened it, and came out in the living room looking for me.. thank god Mikayla was home to pick him up and bring him in the bathroom so he could cry the entire rest of my shower... **sighh** so I'm gonna shower now since he just went to sleep! Talk at ya soon!

Confessions

1.  I really need to be in the shower because I promised the girls I would take them to the park... Landon's finally sleeping with means perfect opportunity to shower.. and here I am.

2.  I am really mad at my husband right now. He's been such a jerk the last two days!!

3.  I started taking Phentermine again... I WILL lose this extra 20lbs before Vegas... and so far so good... I'm down 4lbs in 4 days =)

4.  We got family pictures last night.. and I'm DIEING to see them!

5.  I signed Makennah up for prek at Zion... even though Mic said we need to talk about it first. (He still doesn't know yet) But I have my mind set on it and he kept putting "the talking about it" off... so I did it anyway.

6.  I confess that I am pretty pathetic because I can only come up with 5 real confessions... Geeze I've turned into such a good girl!! ... kinda makes me sick =)

Have a good weekend all!!

It's Official!

We are going to Vegas!! August 4-7 we are going to celebrate our 5 year anniversary! My brother in law, and three of our bestest friends (Trisha *Steven, my brother in law's girlfriend & my best friend for the last 13 years*, and Dave and Mindy *two the the sweetest people I know*) are going with us! I can't explain how excited I am! EEK!!! =)

Our Hotel!



Can't Wait!!

*Stylish Award*

 So I was totally shocked and excited to see that Sarah gave me the "Stylish Blogger Award"... how sweet of her to think of me! I'm thinkin she just wants to see how random and crazy I really am ;-) Here I go (oh and by the way if you are under the age of 18, don't like to hear how things really are, or are easily offended... stop reading now haha jussst kidding!)

1.  I hate being pale... I feel so disgusting when I can see where the hair on my legs grows even AFTER I shave! I know how bad skin cancer is and I've weighed my consequences.. and for now.. I'm gonna keep tanning =P

2.  I need a vacation... like r-eally need one. My kids have been driving me absolutely crazy and I need to get away.. but only for a couple of days.. so, I planned a little get away for our anniversary in August.. and I can't wait!! I might even get tipsy!

3.  Now.. please don't tell my husband this... but I think I'm addicted to online shopping. I order something almost daily! (today I didn't!!... making progress with this addiction.. until tomorrow when I can think of something else I can order!) I try to stop myself... "no Stacy, you don't really need this.. crap, shit, damn... ok just this time!"

4.  I'm a clean freak... I hate hate hate clutter and mess. I am constantly picking up. When we have people over I get somewhat self conscious and worried that people are wondering what my problem is.. I can't just sit down and enjoy company because I am too busy cleaning up after my kids, their kids, them, myself, and my husband! It's horrible... I even annoy myself!

5.  I still love the color pink. I thought that was something little girls out grow... but not this one! If I have options... I always go pink... Just can't help myself. Must be my inner princess!

6.  My favorite thing in the whole wide world to drink is Sweet Tea.

7.  I am completely content with my family and our three children and I am done having babies! =)

So now I'm gonna pass this award on to Jackie over at Itza "Life and its Ours."  I'm passing it on to her because she is a first time momma and she is doing one hell of a job at raising her sweet baby girl Loreli <3
