Sweetest Christmas Present

A surprise Christmas present from my bestist friend/sis and her hubby totally turned my semi bahumbug and sad spirits around. It was hard taking in all the pups then letting them all go. I had puppy fever. BAD!!! But when the day came to let them all go back to their mamas house I was pleasantly surprised when i was told one of the pups was mine to actually keep! My favorite one too!!! :-) Isnt my bestist the greatest! :-) So here she is newest addition to out little family Blondie Bella. And no Bella is NOT from Twilight my husband named her and he hates that movie! So now we have Boon and Bella! Yay! Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! Mine has already been amazing. My family is together this Christmas! Looking forward to 2012! Big things a comin! Yay!

Playing Catch Up!

Okay so I am playing catch up now since I have not written in a while. Life has been pretty busy. While hubby is finishing up his time out at the Wounded Warrior Battalion I am spending a lot more time with my best friend. I love her and her whole family they are good people. I have to admit I am glad that hubby is finally getting this stuff behind him but I will miss him being home. His civilian job does not allow him to be home that often in the evenings with us so I will miss things like this...


So we did our traditional put up ornaments on my in laws tree I snapped a few photos of them playing around and they made a gingerbread house. Figured I would share some with you.

Thursday Throwback & Special Guest.

So I reluctantly get up this morning even though I would have loved to just stay in my nice warm bed. I have gone back from Christmas music... just doesnt fit the feel of my blog posts at the moment maybe closer to Christmas I will change it back. I have had so many things going through my head.. First.. I cannot believe how quickly my children are growing. Babygirl practically gets ready for school by herself... Its really sad to think that one day she wont need me. =( Of course my son cheered me up with a special guest we had at our table this morning for breakfast. As I look up from my tea I see....


Mr. Potato head staring at me with his tongue sticking out at me! LOL! What a silly kid.. But I did get a wonderful laugh out of it. Yesterday I was finally moving mine and hubbys letters from the little shoe box I kept them in to this beautiful keepsake box I had made for us.



Isnt it gorgeous! I love it.. Of course when I was putting stuff in it I realized at some point I am going to have to have another one made. 8 years of memories between hubby and I and its already full. We have many many more years together so yeah another one will be in the mix. I love Tracys work. You can see her Facebook Here! While I was moving stuff around I ran across a couple of old pics I found. Thought I would share them with you!
Hubby and I military ball 2004.

Rebel and I. Mine and hubbies first pup. 
It was a nice stroll down memory lane and OMG I was tiny back then! Sigh.. oh how I wish.. I gotta get back on a diet and working out.. James came home and my working out has continued in a sense but the dieting gone out the window! Starting hardcore on working on potty training Buttercup. I wanna get her out of pull ups by the first of the year. She turned 2 in October so it shouldnt be too hard. Shes old enough. Anyways! Thats all my rambling for today.

Wacky Wednesday

I called this post wacky Wednesday because well its wacky. My kids are, my family is, and our time together is. But our time together is also super fun and I love it! Last week before my mom ran away to Florida to see my brother (Grrr so mad at her I fully intend on going down there to see him when kids go on Christmas break.. juuuust sayin!) We took the kids to the new park they have here. I love it. They have also incorporated a dog park which I fully intend to take Boon to once we have someone to watch the kiddos because 3 kids AND a dog at a park... I think I will pass on that one lol. After spending some time at the park went back to my moms house and ate dinner and roasted smores on the fire! Hubbys sister stopped by and we were able to snap some pics of the kiddies.. please excuse my childrens faces... marshmallows + dirt = my childrens faces! I also spend monday evening with my sister and tried to get some good pics of my nephew but he moves around way too much now that he is walking!! Next time I am taking my camera and getting GOOD pictures of him to post!! I love them bunches! =) Anyways! Thats what I was up to this past weekend when I did not post anything... and I know I have promised before but I will again... I willl promise promise promise to try and blog on a regular basis! =P Im just so busy spending time with my kiddos and family and most of all my hubby I dont have time to blog much. (AKA playing COD MW3 [Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 for all you non gamers] with my hubbs, brother and sister often distracts my quiet time in the evenings but I love it! So much fun!) Oh on a funny note everytime a helicopter flies over he says "Medivac baby" AKA Red Cross in this area! I have to remind him he is home now! LOL! Funny the simple things that make his brain flash back to Afghanistan.. Hes so cute! I loves him! Anyways.. here are the pics I promise!
