Photo Challenge, Fail

I've tried, I really have. I thought about going back and making up the days I missed, but changed my mind. Here are the days I did get. Hopefully, it will get better.

Feb. 26: NIGHT

Little precious slept on the couch while I finished up laundry

Feb 27: MONEY

What a weird thing to take a picture of? I got to thinking, I am pretty sure someone took a picture of their debit/credit card. Smart? NOT!! I thought about it, but then realized the world would have my number, hello!! I took a picture of this $2 bill. This $2 was sitting on AK's dresser. She got it in a Valentine's Day card from Grano and Grandaddy. Growing up, we always got these from my grandparents for special occasions. I love that they continue this tradition with my girls.

March 1: UP

I had to include 2 pictures for this day. I knew on this morning exactly what my picture would be. I want you all to see Mike's plane. It is ginormous and really just awesome!! It would be perfect because I would be going to the AF base for a BBQ that afternoon and I could get a pic up close and personal. Well, umm yeah right. Apparently, the AF does not want you taking pictures of their flight line. I kept coming up with great ideas of how to take a picture, but Mike assured me we would both end up in jail. As I was driving home I spotted one flying right over head, perfect!!! I pulled over and pulled my phone out to snap a pic. Yep, that little speck in the sky is the huge plane. I obviously wasn't fast enough. I will try again. My 2nd picture is of something I couldn't wait to see when I found out we were moving here. Maybe it's just me, but when I think of Charleston I think of moss hanging from trees. I couldn't wait to see this!! It really is not as all over the place like in pictures, but it is here, and I love it!!

March 5: SMILE

There's nothing better than this girls smile!! This picture is right after her first softball practice.

March 6: 5 PM

My favorite picture, thus far!! Our suitcases full of clothes to go home to TEXAS!!! Yeehaw!!!

And the winner for the biggest blog slacker goes to......

ME!!! I have started to blog several times and it just hasn't happened. Life has been super exciting in our house lately. Way to exciting to tell you all about it in one post, so be expecting several posts here soon :)

Chuck E. Cheese for a birthday party

Hat day for Dr. Seuss week :)

The weather has been beautiful lately, so we have been spending a lot of time at the park.

Of course I had to try the broom trick, craziness!!

My 2 littles

Happy Birthday Nana!!!

Today is the birthday of one of the very most important people in my life. I am the person I am today because of the guidance of her. There is no way possible way I could have survived the last 10 years of life without this God-fearing woman. She has made such a huge difference in my life. I am so glad my children will know her, they are so lucky. I am thankful everyday for you, Nana!! Thank you for every single thing you have done for me and my family. We are who we are today because of you! I love you so much!! Happy Birthday!!

In 100 years.....

Audrey Kate came home from school last week, it was like any other day. I started looking through her folder, when she pulled a paper out of her backpack. She took it out and said she had forgotten to give it to me for the last couple of days. Honestly, I was scared thinking she had gotten in trouble or something of the sort. I unfolded the piece of paper realizing it was one of the most amazing and precious things I would ever read.

In 100 years, I would like to go to heaven.

I would like to go in 100 years.

I will be older then I was before.

I will die in 100 years.

I would like to meet God in heaven.

I love God with all of my heart.

I will be very happy.

It will be good.

I will be with God.

I will be with my family.

I cannot even begin to describe to you the emotion that took over my body. When her classmates were writing about flying cars and bicycles, AK was thinking of eternity. How blessed am I? This child continues to amaze me with her kindness, her gentleness, and her heart. She is such a blessing. I am so proud of her for so many reasons, but most of all for her love for the Lord.

The picture of the day for this day was supposed to be of handwriting. I cannot imagine any better handwriting than that of a child.

Thank you Lord for the blessing of Audrey Kate.

Feb.21: FAVORITE PICTURE OF YOU

This is def. not my favorite picture. If I could pick any picture it would be a picture from my childhood. I do however, love this picture. We took it before we made our very first salt dough ornaments. This is a tradition we hope to keep for many years.

Feb 22: THE PLACE I WORK

I am so beyond blessed to be able to stay home with my girls. I've got some pretty demanding bosses, but the best ever.

Feb. 23: SHOES

I have been accumulating some major hours in these kicks. As I am writing this, I can hardly move my legs.

Feb. 24: INSIDE YOUR BATHROOM CABINET

I first thought this was quite strange to be taking a picture of such things. It then occurred to me I could tell you about something I am really loving. First, this is super embarrassing so bare with me. I have issues with deodorant, I have for many years. I hate to smell someone's deodorant, and I can always smell mine. I have always been self conscience about this. Every time I have to buy some I try something different, with the hope I can find something that works. I saw a commercial about some that supposedly worked better the more you move. I was intrigued and thought I would try it. While at Target, among 100's of deodorants sat this thing I thought could change my life. It is expensive, like ridiculous. I took it out of my basket several times before I just bought it. Ok, it's like $12 but for deodorant, that's expensive. Let me tell you, IT WORKS!!!! I am so excited!! You know me, when I like something I tell everyone and do my best to convince them to use it. The longer you wear it, the better it smells. Worth every penny!!

Feb. 25: GREEN

Yesterday, I had to attend a class for the key spouse program at the AFB. It was all day, and I learned so much! They did drawings for prizes and I won this fern as well as a gerber daisy. I never win, it made my day!!

Here are some random pictures from our week. The 2 crazies in our family!

Since HG has had an ear infection and Madelynn a URI, we have been low key. We finally got out of the house to get one of our favorite little girl's a bday present. MP thought she needed her picture taken.

The weather here has been insane. Hot and humid. Can you tell

by someone's hair?

10 Months

Oh this little princess!! I love her so, so much!! She is really turning into a "little person" these days. I love it, although I kinda want my baby back!!

I think her eyes are finally changing :( They seem to change based on what she is wearing but seem to be the prettiest of greens.

Her hair, well it is slowly coming in. The good news is, is that it is curling around her ears.

She still only has her bottom two teeth.

She is now only taking bottles, eating baby food, and some table food. No more mama :(

She still doesn't sleep. I know she will, but soon would be nice!

Her new thing is saying hi and waving to every single person who crosses her path.

I love this girl!!

HG had her first ear infection this month. Sweet girl tried to tell me for 2 days!! We did lots of laying around because she just really didn't feel good. She was weighed at the dr. so we have an official 10 month weight. 25.8lbs!!! You better believe it!!

Do you see the curls?

We finally got out of the house today, finally. It was absolutely gorgeous!! I am so blessed!!

Lets play catch up

I know I have been MIA. I just happened to have a birthday over the weekend, and it was wonderful. Let me start back at the beginning. Mike and my friend Meggan had planned a big dinner for a big group of us to celebrate my special day. Thursday evening my 2 littles got sick. Mike took them to the walk-in the next morning, and left with antibiotics and breathing treatments. We canceled the dinner, and I have to admit I was very sad. Since there would be no going anywhere Meggan and her husband came over and we had dinner. It was kinda nice to celebrate with great friends and stay in my sweats :) On Saturday (my actual bday), Meggan took me to get a manicure and have lunch while daddy held down the house. Saturday evening, she came back over and watched the girls so Mike and I could go to the movies. It was a wonderful weekend filled with love, phone calls, texts, and fb messages!! I am so lucky!!

Feb 17:TIME

This represents the amazing TIME I had for my birthday!! Belinda, Memaw, and Grano and Grandad sent me cards. Thank you!! Meggan and Robert brought me this awesome cake and balloons. Look how cute bday dessert is at PF Changs!! It was some amazing carrot cake!

Feb 18: DRINK

I realize you can't see this very well, it's a DP at the movies. It was delicious!! I haven't been drinking any soda for quite a while, so this was a special treat!!

Feb. 19: SOMETHING YOU HATE TO DO

My laundry situation is completely OOC!!!

Just because: Audrey reacting when Mike showed her the pizza lunchables he found on clearance. She has been begging for these for months. This picture cracks me up!! She is jumping up and down! Poor HG!

Madelynn takes my phone any chance she can sneak it away. Here is one of her pictures :)

New Phone

I bet you thought I got a new phone, didn't you? Come on, admit it (mom)!! I sat here for 10 minutes trying to think of a title for this post, nothing. This was the best I could do. The challenge pictures for yesterday and today are of your phone and something new, hence the title. I pictured my mom and dad sitting down to read the blog. Here is the reaction I imagined (and I know this is how it will go). "Ah, Jama got a new phone !?", said mom. "No she didn't", said dad. I know them so well!

Feb. 15: PHONE

There are two things I would like for you to notice about this picture of my phone. 1. If you look in the top left hand corner you will notice a dirty spot. Well, it's hair color and it's driving me nutso!! 2. Do you see my cute new wall paper? I downloaded this cute freebie!! You can find instructions on how to get your own at this great site.

Feb. 16: SOMETHING NEW

Aren't they so pretty? Mike got them for me for Valentines. He gets major, major props!! He went on my Pinterest board of the things I really like and found them. Isn't that just precious?!? I love him!!

Just because I love all of you, you get to see another new thing. My hair. I got the back combing brush involved and now, I love it!! Sorry for complaining!!

Mike also got me these beautiful flowers that I did not include in my Vday post. I am such a lucky girl!!!
