Friday Walk

 I love Aubree's looks that she does when she's posing for me. She knows exactly the look that I'm going for.

It finally warmed up to 55 one day and I have been itching to go outside and take some pictures. I was halfway down the rode when Aubree caught up to me and wanted to go. I told her if she was coming then I was going to make her pose for me. (wondering how I was going to do that with the hot pink shirt, purple sweat pants, and hair that hadn't been brushed in days!) Luckily she grabbed her new sweater as she was running out the door to catch up with me!
So these are some of the pictures that I got.

Merry Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year!! Aubree did throw up early Christmas morning, but I think it was just nerves. The girls woke up at 11:30pm and asked how much longer. Ummm...like 8 more hours!!! I told them they could open up presents when it was light out. So from 4am on they would come into our room "How much longer?" (I don't think they went back to bed!) Finally when they saw some daylight, they burst into our room "Okay its time!!" I told them not until Austin was up. SO 30 seconds later they burst into our room again."Okay he's up!"  I love it.

The girls begged and begged to have their own room so we finally gave in and moved the office downstairs. After all of that work with taking apart the desk, setting up Addie's bed, hauling everything upstairs or down.....THEY STILL SLEEP WITH EACH OTHER!!!!! SO they have their own rooms during the day and Addie sleeps with Aubree at night...ridiculous!
I found this fram at DI with the weird Jesus painting and thought it would be perfect for a chalkboard (since their was no way to get the canvas print out anyways!) I bought the pom pom's from Martha Stewart and they were pretty easy to put together. I hauled the doll house bookshelf upstairs that I had painted blue to match the playroom, but Addie needed something else in her room and it wasn't getting much use in the playroom. Theirs still some odds and ends I want to add but its done for now.

Treated myself to some Florabella actions for Christmas. Just messing around.

Blue Man Group

David and I saw Blue Man Group last night and it was so cool. Aubree was going to go with me, but built a new fort that day so she wanted to stay home and play. She totally missed out and would have loved it! It was so funny!!! If they are in you area I would highly recommend them!

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things....

 My camera. Oh how it has changed my life.

 My lens:) My new best friend. Don't ever buy a kit lens...EVER!

PINTEREST :) Addicting is my word and THANK-YOU to whoever invented it!

NEED  TO  BREATHE! My new favorite band! The opened for Taylor Swift and now the whole family is hooked! Its all we listen to in the car. Check out "Something Beautiful" Austin knows all the words (in his own little way) and sings along.

 Unbroken was the only book I read this year that I gave five stars to. I haven't done that since Hunger Games.

My favorite blog right now is I HEART ORGANIZING 

This is my favorite picture right now. Another favorite is the Vanilla Black and White filter from FloraBella Designs

My favorite cleaning supplies are MRS MEYER. YUM! My favorite scent is Basil and Lemon. You can buy it from Amazon or Target and sometimes Wal-Mart.

The last thing on my list is Shutterflys new custom path. You can finally do what you could only do in Photoshop (which takes a PH.D!) . Its the closest thing I've gotten since I quit paper scrap booking. You can now customize your page EXACTLY how you want it and their embellishments and papers are a lot better. The only thing I wish is that I could have that layered paper look, but right now you have to use their page ideas.

Killing Lincoln Review

Killing Lincoln: The Assassination that Changed America Forever by Bill O'Reilly

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


We listened to this on the way home from Arizona. I love history and their was a lot I didn't know about the assassination. Okay basically all I knew was that he was assinated. Even Aubree enjoyed listening to it!
