Spring Dresses











I have to admit when it comes to the princess and her wardrobe I can't help but go overboard. I think it's a good thing that we only have one little girl at the moment. Brian and I need to hurry up and get done with school, so we can afford many more beautiful things for our girls. ( Praying that we get are adopted daughter soon.)

Valentine's Day
















My wonderful and sweet, sweet husband sent me these beautiful red roses at work on Valentine's Day. Brian is the sweetest man I have ever met. This is our 9th Valentine's Day together so here are nine things I love about my husband.





1.) He is the meaning of unconditional love





2.) He loves the Lord





3.) He tells me he loves me a million times a day





4.) He still holds my hand in the car, and cuddles with me on the couch.





5.) He is a wonderful father to our beautiful children.





6.) He starts the car in the morning for me, and makes me coffee.





7.) He helps with the kids, including homework.





8.) He thinks I'm pretty, even when I'm not.





9.) He is my best friend, and my biggest fan.





Happy Valentine's Day to my sweet love. I hope we get to spend 100 more with each other.

Superbowl Party




This is the first year everyone got together to have a party for the big game. Usually it's just a few of us, so while making the yearly itinerary I made sure to schedule a Superbowl party. I know some of you are probable wondering why we have a itinerary for family events throughout the year. See, if you are asking that question you don't understand every one's schedules so I'll give you a quick run down. My parents have eight children, four of them are married, three of them have kids. Alison and Eric; Taylor, Kalli, Ryan, and Mylan, Jennifer and Brian; Hunter, Harrison, Hagan, and Haven, Clayton and Kim; Skylen, and Keaton. Then one of my brothers is away in the US Marine Corps ( "Hooray") Justin. My sister Crystal lives one town over and works as a vampire at the CKBC strange hours. Plus did I mention that we have more adults going to school then the children in our family. My mother Kim and myself ( RN to BSN) if we can pass statistics...lol, Brian ( nurse practitioner), Alison( RN), Eric ( surgical tech), Kim #2 ( going to college), and hopefully Greg and Angelica will pursue their 2nd degrees and become RN's. So now you see why we have an itinerary. Now that I've told you all of that you see why I don't have time to talk about the party itself, so here are the pics, I have to get ready to go to hell;I mean statistics.......

Snow Angels
















Well if you read my last entry about the midget lady you know it snowed last weekend. While I was trapped at work all weekend Brian and the kids enjoyed playing out in the beautiful snow.

The Midget Lady

It's been awhile since I have made a posting I have been so busy lately. Last weekend we got a nice winter storm that left behind 6-7 inches of beautiful white powder. I had to work all weekend so Mom, Amanda, Greg, Angelica, and myself stayed in Lexington in a hotel. We shared one room with 2 queen beds, you heard right, 2 queen beds!!! That was all they had, so Mom, Amanda, and myself slept in a bed; and Greg and Angelica slept in the other. I had a wonderful night filled with 4 feet, 2 on each side of my head, since we could only fit two at the top and one at the bottom. Mom snored the roof off and Amanda grinded her teeth all night. Once when I woke up I was in a position that looked like I was in stir-rips getting ready to push out a baby!
The next night I thought I would attempt to sleep with the newlyweds, and to my surprise we had a lot more room. Before we all fell asleep we were laughing at the story I told about the last time we stayed up there and right after I fell asleep I thought I saw a midget lady run across the room to mom's side of the bed, I jumped up and yelled " Mom, there she goes!" Mom knew I was dreaming and told me to lay down and shut-up. We all fell into a much needed sleep until Angelica, Greg, and myself were startled awake by a woman's blood curling screams. We all 3 ran over to the window to see what was going on. When we looked out we saw a woman running across the yard to a house and banging on the front door. A car sped off down the street as soon as the owner of the house came out. As the 3 of us are figuring out what is going on Mom and Amanda wake up. Mom yells over there " are you 3 looking for that midget lady?" We start laughing and then we tell them what's going on. Soon the place was covered with police cars and we all tried to get some sleep. Needless to say it was a very long and tiring weekend.
