I'm going to learn how to sew

I'm so excited! My aunt called me today & said I could use her sewing machine for as long as I wanted (or until she needs it again). I can't wait to start learning how to sew! I'm a hands on learner so I think I will catch on pretty quick! AHH!! I am heading to Hobby Lobby the first chance I get! My BFF is going with me, too, whenever I decide to go. She is going to help me make my baby boy a birthday/4th of July shirt using iron on letters and what not. She's awesome at making T-Shirts. She made our shirts for the Lady Gaga concert in Nashville!

excuse my expression...I'm not sure....lol

Since Tucker was born on the 4th of July, I want his shirt to be American themed and say "Hey America! It's MY birthday, too!" :) Wouldn't that be adorable?

We are going to make Kenzie's 3rd birthday shirt to go along with her tutu I will make her. Her birthday theme this year will be Willy Wonka [she LOVES both versions of the movie!]. So her shirt will either have a chocolate bar or a lollipop on it with some sort of "Wonka" themed quote. Or maybe just a "Kenzie's 3!" lol.

Hoo Are You! [Tuesday blog hopping]

I found this cute little blog hop through In Him We Live. It's hosted by Night Owl Crafting! [And of course I had to do it because it has an adorable owl on it!] It's hosted every Tuesday. Check it out and link up!

Here are this week's questions!

1.  What is your favorite thing cooked on the bbq?

2. How do you celebrate Memorial Day?

3. Do you like your handwriting?

4. Do you still have your tonsils?

5. Do you unite your shoes when you take them off?

 

My Answers! 

1. What is your favorite thing cooked on the bbq?

Oh my...so many things I love!!! I'm going to have to say bbq bologna. Yes, I know. Some may say YUCK! But around here, it's the norm. haha!

 

2. How do you celebrate Memorial Day?

We usually have some sort of family or friends cookout. Sometimes we even go to the river. But probably not this year.

 

3. Do you like your handwriting?

Sometimes. ha! When I was in high school, I loved it. It was big and bubbly and girly. Now that I don't write too often, I guess I've lost my handwriting charisma. ha! 

 

4. Do you still have your tonsils?

Yep. I never had any issues with them when I was younger. Or now, for that mattter.

 

5. Do you unite your shoes when you take them off?

I'm going to assume that "unite" is supposed to be "untie" haha!!! In that case, no. #1- I rarely wear any type of shoes that need to be tied. #2- Untying them would be too much work :) 

Monday Schmonday ;)

Today is a blahhh day :/  It rained hard last night so I don't think we will be doing anything outside today. So that means, organizing, cleaning, and getting ready to move! I'm SUPER excited about this new house. I have so many ideas for it! :) See for yourself:

This will be the bookshelf in the kids playroom!

I'm so painting my wicker furniture green!!

I'm sooooooooper [lol] excited to get my diy on!!! :)

Things You Should Know About Me #1

Things You Should Know About Me #1

I graduated high school in 2007. Therefore, I am NOT in high school anymore. THEREFORE, I left all drama behind.

see. proof.

My kids mean the whole world to me. 

Don't talk about my family.

When I'm mad, I shake and cry. [lol]

My all time favorite movie [which I can watch NON stop everyday...and I have] is Fried Green Tomatoes. If you have not watched this movie [gasp!!!!] please do so now. :)

I tend to get on Facebook way too much.

Pink is my favorite color. Turquoise is 2nd. [I also love shoes. See below]

I am addicted to sweet tea. And I just recently perfected it!! I boil 3 Luzianne tea bags in about 2-3 quarts of water. After it comes to a boil, I take it off the heat for about 5 minutes or so, then pour it into a gallon pitcher. I add cold water to the pot with the tea bags still in it and "drain" the rest of the tea out of the bags and fill up the gallon pitcher. I also add 2 cups of sugar. I know, I know. That sounds like a cavity in a cup. But its the southern thing to do:)

I'm trying to be a better person in my life and that seems to be working out for me! :)

My best friend, Raven (who needs to get her internet back so she can blog again!!!!!) is my ride or die. I love this girl<3 At first we thought we were totally different. Turns out, we are a lot alike! And in a good way. AND her boyfriend is also my best friend and my hubby's best friend! And when us four get together, my abs tighten from all the laughing we do lol.

Raven and me:)

I love weekends:)

I look foward to Saturday & Sunday when I wake up on Monday lol. Now I love my kids more than ANYTHING in this world. Seriously. They are my loves! But....I also love when my sweet mother-in-law comes to get them Saturday nights. Now that I'm a SAHM again, I get a little stir crazy. There's only so much parks and crafts I can take in 5 days lol! But I suck it up and do it for the kiddos:) Because I know my weekend isn't too far away.

Last night we went to a friend's party. It was so fun:) 

Then today my best friends, Jason & Raven, Keith, Doug, and me, all went to the grocery store and bought enough food for a feast lol. I made pizza dip for an appetizer (which lasted about 2.4 seconds ha!) and cake batter blondies for dessert (PLEASE make these!). Raven made grilled peppers with Sweet Baby Rays sauce on them, a HUGE salad (that I'm sure only us girls will be eating lol), & sauted onions. The boys are grilling Italian sausage links, BBQ bologna, potatoes with onions and butter, and corn on the cob. Wow. That's a lot of food lol. 

My MIL is bringing the kids back soon and will be eating with us. I'm HUUUUNGRY! :)

Did I mention I LOVE weekends? :)
