Project 365-Week 9

So, I JUST got on here to look at everyones pictures of the week and check my comments and I realized that I hadn't posted. I only linked up. lol Have had ALOT on my plate lately. Sorry. Makes the paragraph under this one really funny. :)

I am getting better at this deadline thing. I am on time. Yay! I had fun this week. Got a good mix of both the girls. I feel like I am taking too many of those two sometimes and not enough of my other things in life. Wait....what other things. :)So, there are actually a couple in here that they are not in!

If you aren't a part of Project 365....you should be. It's alot of fun! Go here to link up if you are. Sara is doing it every week and I am so greatful!


SUNDAY

I ususally let Audrey watch a movie while I get ready for church. I came in the living room and this is what I found. She had drug the swing to face the tv and given Avery her blankie. What a sweet sister.



MONDAY

So, here is a picture of Audrey's new friend. What? You can't see him? He's right there on her finger. Noooooo. On her finger. Yes! That is it. That is "Bird Glasscock". He is her first imaginary friend. He flew all over the house Sunday night and was back Monday morning for breakfast. He perches on her finger and goes everywhere with us. He's yellow by the way.



TUESDAY

We went to the Science Spectrum and Uncle Brenter came with us. They both had to put on smocks before they could play in the water.



WEDNESDAY

Made chicken pot pie for suppper. It's actually one we all really enjoy.



THURSDAY

Avery yelling. She has started "yelling" this week. Not crying but yelling. Maybe I can get some on video soon.




FRIDAY

My DH watched the kids so I could sneak off and finish this blanket. I am making it for a friend who is having a baby. She is having twins so, it's time to start the second one. Whew!



SATURDAY

Finished washing and folding ALL these clothes today. My DH even helped some yesterday. Thanks honey!

Science Spectrum

So, today we went looking for a dance studio for Audrey. We had some luck....but not much. We went to 6 places and only two were open. One we hated and the other one we loved. The one we loved only had openings for gymnastics not the combo classes (20mins each of tap, ballet, and gymnastics)that most places have had and we wanted to do. So, I am going to get on the phone and CALL these places in about an hour instead of driving around all over town with a 3 month who still isn't really fond of the car. I also learned that dance studio hours are usually from 3-8 not 10-5 or something like that (seeing they were all closed).

In he meantime, we are fully enjoying the Science Spectrum! Uncle Brenter even made it out this week with us. We have been going atleast once a week and having a blast everytime. Here are some pictures of our fun:




This is the water part. It is our favorite if you can't tell by all the pictures.





Do you see that Little Tikes car behind Audrey? She is obsessed with it! We have had to tell her she can't play with it before because she wasn't sharing it at all. This is the only thing she has ever been that way with. She will drag it around the room with her just so another kids can't get it!




Spinning the water wheel.




We always wear our smocks so we don't get wet! Even Uncle Brenter had to wear one.




Trying to fill up that tube before it drains.




I think there's a hole in my cup! (There is.)



Looking across the room.



Bubbles are also a favorite. Daddy is REALLY good at them.




Getting the last of the energy out before it's time to go home and take a nap.

Random Dozen

1. Have you ever fired a gun or shot a bow and arrow?
I shot a bow and arrow once when I was little at camp. I fired a gun a little over 3 years ago. My DH, some friends, and I went to a shooting range. I told my husband that I would shoot but didn't want to when we got there. However, he made me and I shot 3 times and cried through the whole thing. lol

2. Do you know where your childhood best friends are?
Some of them I do. Alot of them are still in my hometown but I don't keep up with them. It just seems that SO much has changed since then. I guess I mean that it feels like they might as well be strangers now.

3. Do you usually arrive early, late, or on time?
I am usually on time. It drives me CRAZY to be late (the OCD in me I guess).

4. Are you more of a New York or California type?
Depends on what mood I am in. Would definately love the shopping in NY (though it wouldn't be good for me). But the beach sounds real good right about now, too.

5. Do you have a special ring tone?
Nope. I always use the one that is the closest to a classic ring.

6. What is your favorite type of chip?
I am more of a dip person than a chip person. I guess because of that I would have to pick Fritos or tortilla chips.

7. Best comedy you've ever seen is ....
That's a really tough one. We are HUGE movie people and not sure I could pick a top favorite comedy. Dumb and Dumber always makes me laugh and is a classic I guess.

8. Have you ever cut your own hair? To quote Dr. Phil, "How'd that work for ya?"
NO. I have never attempted this. Never even crossed my mind. Long and grown out always seemed the better option of the two.

9. If you were going to have an extreme makeover, would you rather it be about your house or your personal self?
house most definately

10. Are you allergic to anything?
not that I know of

11. Why is it so hard to change?
Because we are comfortable with what we know and are used to. Who wants to be uncomfortable?

12. One last question dedicated to February love: CS Lewis said, "To love is to be vulnerable." Please share one example of that assertion or share any thought you'd like to about this topic.
Sharing parts of yourself with someone you love that you would NEVER show to anyone else is one way. Doing things for someone else that makes you unhappy/unfomfortable but they enjoy.

Project 365-Week 8

So, I am on top of things this week with P365. It is Saturday afternoon at almost 4 and I am finishing and saving my post. Too bad I haven't posted in a WEEK. So, being finished and ready to link makes up for that....almost.

As I look back on the week I wonder if I favor different kids different weeks. lol Just joking. Avery is in a lot this week though. My husband made a comment that I had not put her in many of the pictures. So this should make up for it :)

SUNDAY

In daddys boots.


MONDAY

Bath time always melts my heart. Any theories as to why a clean, wet, naked baby is just SO adorable?


TUESDAY

Avery can almost ride in the stroller Neena gave her without her carseat attached to it. Yay! Less to get out.

WEDNESDAY

Avery playing on her mat. She can ALMOST roll over.


THURSDAY

I don't have hardly any pictures of ME with my girls as I am usually the one behind the camera.


This is my junk drawer. I was inspired by a fellow blogger to get cleaning.


FRIDAY

We finally put her crib up since she has just about outgrown her bassinett. Isn't it cute?!?!

SATURDAY

We went to the Lions Club pancake festival with Grandad and Linda. Audrey ate almost THREE huge "cake cakes".


Then we got to spend the afternoon with our long lost Aunt Alex who moved to Amarillo in December. We miss her SO much!


Hope everyone had a great week. Sara is the gracious one who hosts every week. Go here to see her blog, see all the other participants pictures, and link up if you wanna join in. Can't wait to see all the other pictures this week!

Project 365-Week 7

So, I am just getting back into the swing of Project 365. I got my camera back this week but not in time to get the whole week documented. Here is what I did get. Have a great week!


WEDNESDAY

My husband surprised me by coming home with this new laptop. He got a GREAT deal on it at Best Buy. I was/am SO excited!


Theres my week (or half of it). Sorry they are late.



THURSDAY

We got some more snow this day. It was really pretty and melted by the end of the day pretty much. Yippee!


FRIDAY

This is my diy double boiler (because I don't have one). I made my husband homemade Reese's Peanut Butter Cups for Valentines Day. There is 12ozs of chocolate chips and EIGHT Hershey bars in there!



SATURDAY

We had dinner at Poppa and C Dawns (Tommys dad and step-mom) tonight. Audrey got to play in the jewelry box after dinner.

Friday Fill-ins

1. Pickles really do make a sandwich complete.

2. I always have one more thing to do when I am at home.

3. The snow is really pretty from inside the house.

4.Fall leaves on the trees are the prettiest thing in nature.

5. It's 5:16 PM; that means I should have dinner atleast thought out.

6. A pair of jeans that fit can be hard to find.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to trading Valentine gifts with my husband after dinner, tomorrow my plans include having lunch with the Sartins then heading to Earth and Sunday, I hope to enjoy a relaxing day in Earth and spend some time with Memo!

Audrey's Birthday!

We had a great birthday party for Audrey. The weather was horrible so most of the people invited didn't make it. The Ball family (who have 8 kiddos) came though. They helped fill up the table so it was far from boring. :) Here are a BUNCH of photos of the party:



I made birthday pancakes for the birthday girl. YUM!



We had the birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese and the Ball family joined us. There was just a little competition at the skeeball.



We had some family there even though the weather was bad. Uncle Blaker and Uncle Brenter made it out.




Everyone had lots of pizza and drinks.




Especially Uncle Brenter




We had picture time with Chuck E. (after much reassurance he was NOT scary).



She was definately the star of the show. Just how she likes it.




We rode LOTS of rides with friends.




She opened lots of presents and one of her favorites had to be the poncho that Mrs. Ball made for her. It matched her friend Amelia's exactly.







All in all she had a GREAT birthday and was completely.utterly.exhausted afterward.
