Conversation with Scarlett

I was getting the girls a granola bar this afternoon and I was telling them that they had to give me a kiss and tell me they loved me first. Hawley did it and ran away after I gave it to her. As Scarlett was waiting for me to open hers, I said "I love you."
"I love you."
"I love you more."
"No, I love you more."
"I love you so much."
"I love you so much."
"You are super cute!"
"I know. I am super cute."
I just laughed and told her it was true and let her run away with her granola bar. Somedays are just crazy and I don't think that I can make it through another 5 minutes and then they say little things or do something that makes being a mom worth it all!

Little Tidbits

While we were at Jenna's yesterday, the girls were all in Zoey's room cleaning up so we could go home. Well Dan went in to see if they were almost done and this is what he found...

It is a bead up Scarlett's nose. I guess it is true "Like Mother Like Daughter". I put a bean up my nose when I was little.

I totally forgot about this day. We had gone over to help Ali pack up her things and the girls started to play on the treadmill. It was so hilarious! While we were watching this video, the girls kept saying that they wanted to go to Ali's to "play with it". Ali we miss you and hope that you are having fun in good old Spain.

I thought that you would all like to know what a calm version of Zoey is like, today at least.

Twenty What????

Another year down and many many more to go (hopefully). Today I turned 29. Can you believe it? Me either. Time has gone by so quickly for me. It seems like just yesterday that I was single. Now I have three beautiful little girls and an amazing husband. Crazy crazy!

Sarah took me to dinner yesterday to Applebee's and I'll just say that it is a good thing that we like each other and we can talk forever, because that is how long it took to get our food--FOREVER!! It took about 30-40 min to get our food (which we ended up getting for free. What a good present. :) YEAH!!!) and then the lights at our table blew out, so it was really dark. I guess it just wasn't our night. It was fun though and I'm glad that I was able to go. Thanks Sarah for a fun night!

Yes I have a nasty cold sore!
Today Dan took me to finally see Twilight, which had the potential to be good, but was just alright and then to eat at Goodwood BBQ. Jenna and Dustin watched the kids for us and then we had some brownies and icecream at their house.




Jenna got me a new purse (like 2 months ago) which I love. Thanks Jenna. I got a coat (that I fell in love with awhile back) from Dan, Morgan, Sarah, Kim, Shai and Mom and Dad Brooks. Thanks all of you. I really do love it. It was a wonderful day and I'm so grateful to have the family that I do have. You are all AMAZING!

Just wait til next year when I turn 30--holy crap!!!!

New Stuff

Yesterday we went to the mall with Morgan and Cody. They had come up for a company Christmas party and stayed the night. While at the mall we ran into Ryan while the kiddos were riding the cars.



Then we did a little bit of shopping. I got a new dress and some shirts and a couple pairs of shoes. I went into the store to get one pair and ended up getting two because they were having a sale. It was a great sale too. They are actually the same shoe, but in black and brown. I love them. I am going through a phase where I want more and more shoes. I have never really had a thing for shoes, but lately I have been wanting more and more of them. I guess that it is about time for it, because I have gone through phases of necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc... The girls' stockings are new too.


Scarlett likes wearing my dress.


Then my friend Sarah and I went to our Spa's Christmas party. I got my eyelashes tinted (I've wanted to try it out for a while) while she got her brows waxed. The best thing about it was that it was free! I'm all about free! I am not going to take a picture of them because that will be way too close to my face and you all don't need to see that. But I think that I will really like it.
Thanks for everything Dan I love you so much and I'm glad that you like to hang out with me!

I hope that you have all had a great weekend! Start your week out great and smile!

Dan's Crown

This is the man that I love so much!



I guess this is the way that manly men wear them! :)

In case you can't tell, it is an upside down tutu. I have been making them for Christmas presents this year. The girls are in love with them and I haven't even gotten around to making them one. If anyone is interested in buying, let me know what size waist and what color and I'll sell them to you for $10 a piece.

Decorations, Santa, and Thanksgiving

I've been behind on my posts lately and that is probably because I don't feel like writing anything. I haven't been feeling well the past week or so and I am using that as my poor excuse to be somewhat lazy!
So to catch you all up on what has gone on in our lives. We put up all our Christmas decorations and the girls had a blast decorating the tree. As you can see a lot of the decorations are on the bottom and I will leave it exactly the way they decorated it. I love it!





The day before Thanksgiving we took the kids to the mall to go have a visit with Santa. All day I had been telling them that we were going to go see Santa and sit on his lap and tell him what we want for Christmas, because 'Santa gives us toys on Christmas'. They were so excited to go. When we get there, they see him sitting there and get all excited saying 'Santa Santa'. Zoey went first and she did awesome and then it was the girls' turn and they didn't do so well. I walked Scarlett up to him and she just started crying and didn't want to get anywhere near him. Dan was holding Hawley and she was doing the same thing. Finally Santa slid over so Dan could sit by him and hold the girls. Hawley went first and she told Santa what she wanted and was very excited to get some candy. Scarlett was hesitant to go even though she would be able to sit on Dan's lap, but she did and she talked to Santa for a bit and then got her candy. They waved and said goodbye and were happy as can be. Silly girls! Sorry about these pics, they were taken by Jenna's camer and she doesn't know how to work it.




Thanksgiving was a good time. We went to Delta and just hung out with family. We stayed until Saturday so we could go to the tree festival and then we came home. I didn't take any pictures, because I am so scatterbrained and completely forgot.
So there is an update of what is going on in our house. Nothing to exciting, but as long as things aren't crappy, I'll take it.
Oh by the way I am so excited because I am completely DONE with my Christmas shopping! YEAH!!!!!

Mad Skills

Do any of you have any mad skills? "You know, like nunchuck skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills... Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills." Well this girl has some way mad skills. Talk about impressive! What is your skill?



I have none.

My Day Just Got Better!

I don't know if any of you know, but I am very very easy to make happy! Just the littlest of things make my day. I have had one of those days. My silverware drawer has been the most disastrous thing ever since we moved into this shabby house. Here is the embarrassing proof...




Many of you are probably wondering why I don't have a silverware holder and I will tell you why. The drawers in my kitchen are such small weird little areas and a holder wouldn't fit. It isn't on the top of my list, so whenever I go to the store I always forget to look for something.
Well the other day I was getting a frame or something and I happen to glance down an aisle and there they were. The perfect containers to hold my silverware and on the plus side--they were only $1. When I got home, I immediately arranged the drawer and can I tell you how excited I was. Like I said before, the littlest things make me happy. It is such a magnificent thing to open that little drawer and not have to dig through the mountain of spoons, forks, knives and sporks. My day just got better!


YEAH!!
