Today was a happy day...

I had a good session.

Look at this baby's eyes.............................gasp!

.

.

.

p.s........ My birthday minus 4 and counting...........

Purple kicks!

I love our get-a-ways.

Mike got me these Purple converse high tops!

I'm soooo wearing them to church.

We drove down to the gateway, in the pouring rain.

Had to stop and buy a cute Umbie.... :)

This store should be Named after me.

really.

Or I should have been named after it......either way.

ALSO----I did find some white lacy tights {at urban outfitters} like the ones in my previous post..

But----no luck on purple highheals. :(

I might have to get the courage to leave her a message, begging and pleading so I can find them.

Cuz, quite frankly-----I need them.

We stopped and made a haul with Cd's

I got Both Mat Kearney cd's {oh la la}

and Fiest

and Mike got 80'S hair metal music.....LOL!

I can't believe we actually LISTENED to them...and thought tight leather pants, no shirt and ratty men hair and high heal boots was sexy? eh?

ohh----we had fun singing in the car....

I actually feel embarrassed that i still remember the words to cherry pie!

{I had to settle for 3 cd's...altho my stack was HIGH.....a fine frenzy and a the swellseason didn't come home with me. waaaaa!}

BUUUUUT----

We did find two pair of OWL earrings.....i will post them, cuz i like em.....alot!

and so will you!

.

We went to the movies....

We saw "unknown"

OH MY!!

Must see......loved it!

and I loved him! {Liam Neeson}

.

.

Good weekend.

Good food!

good company!

Got spoiled!

:)

The end.

Post It's----

Here is the Picture thats going to be in the NEW ERA.

Im not even sure how to feel right now. :)

This boy is the one who came up with the IDEA...and asked me to just take the pic.

so he came over and we played out what he had in his mind...

and it got picked.

Lucky Lucky us!!!!!!

I wonder how this weekend will play out.

.

.

I let the little ones sleep downstairs last night.

Since Jax didn't have school.

They think its the biggest treat!

Annnnd, makes me the best mommy eva.........

I'm not sure what Time this little girl went to bed last night.

She is a night owl.

And I get worried....cuz that's when the "devil" comes out.

I found her this morning, and it looks like she found a marker.

See her arm?

So-----i had to make a sweep through the house to see what she destroyed through the night.

:)

{yes thats a binki. WHERE DOES SHE FIND THEM????}

I'm STILL trying to learn my guitar.

It feels like the first time I picked up my camera.

It was foreign.

I was frustrated...but I was determined and pushed through.

I ALMOST.......yup almost!..... threw it across the room last night.

Patience is a DUMB word.

Soooooo.......

How will this weekend play out?

Mike and I will be away.

Quiet, good food and shopping will be my therapy.

Abbie is mad cuz I made her go to school today. {really?}

Autumn had a little bit of a sassy mouth so she missed Tumbling last night. So she hated me for 5.8 seconds.

Charlee cried for an HOUR....and hour people!!!

Cuz her hot dog bun broke in half.

and THEN..she broke the plate on the kitchen floor and then says "I dinnt do anyfeen"

{with her hands up}

*sigh*

I haven't packed a single THING yet.

So I took Individual pictures of them all.

We had to refer to plan B...

Soooo----I took them between the two glass doors in the church building.

Only place I could go that didn't make it look as "churchy"

And they loved me anyways. That's really all that mattered. :)

Once upon a time,

9 years ago.

One girl met One boy.

This one boy, is so kind.

So loving and this one girl doesn't feel like she deserves such love.

Like:

Flowers cuz its Tuesday.

Our water heater went out and this boy spent 2 hours heating up pots of hot water so this one girl could relax from a stressful day in a warm bath.

Unexpected surprises just because.

Middle of the night medicine or tampon runs to walmart. :)

Long feet rubs.

Unexpected bubble baths with candles.

Teaches the kids how important integrity and honesty is everyday!!!!!!!

Supports This crazy girls passion for Photography and crazy wacky ideas and hobbies.

She has 109 of them for petes sake!

Daddy Daughter/son dates.

He took on this girls two daughters when they were 4 & 5 and loves them as his OWN!

They call him dad.

.

I have many more to add....

But ONE speaks out to me.

Unconditional love.

He loves me no matter how much I hurt him.

Tease him.

bratty, bad mood and onery.

He still puts his arms around me and tells me how much he loves me.

How beautiful I am.

Wife, mother, friend.

He fills my bucket when I am dry.

I don't deserve him.

I want to be more like him.

He is too wonderful for me.

He forgives me.

.

Im sorry to get all mushy...but I rarely talk about this man on my blog...so Valentines day is OUR day to speak.

This is the man.

I owe him so much!

.

He has a "secret" weekend planned this coming weekend just for us.

I'm too impatient to wait!

.

.

Today was so pretty.

Charlee took advantage and rode her bike outside........

We took the Kids out for V-day and got Chinese. :)

.

Here is Our Fortunes...........

She worked so hard.

She yelled for me to come help her in frustration.

She says "I forgot to spray the pans mom..the cupcakes are sticking"

I said..."umm....Abbie?" "thats what the cupcake liners are for.

LOL!

she was trying to get the cupcakes OUT of the pan and then set them into the paper liner.

I ABOUT DIED LAUGHING!!

she says "Oh!"

I didn't know that.

I was SUPER MAD at first...just cuz time was running out and i couldn't worry about the cupcakes......but i couldn't help but laugh, it was the funnest to see her soOO confused.

She then ran away ....cuz she knew I was going to grab my camera.....
