Not emotionally ready...

I cant believe its over and all that is left is a hellish and cold winter. Well not yet because I'm at home and the weather is lovely. Its too much for me to think about going home and taking down my Christmas decorations. I want to be one of those ladies that keep their stuff up all year...I'm serious, I see how you could get into that kind of thing. However...I did decide I'm going to go all out for Valentines day this year (even though I'm not a big fan of the holiday) this year I'm going to deck my halls for it.
I had such a great Christmas this year, it was so much fun to watch my nieces (they make it so much fun) and be with my family. I couldn't love it more.
Happy New Year...

yo-yo or should i say ho-ho!!!  big up dawgs heres the crizle all dizzled!!!

c-ya wouldn't want to b ya

Spooky...

I thought I would put some photos of my house from Halloween up before I take it down in the next couple of days. As you can tell I should have had sister take the photos...forgive me. Boyfriend didn't know what to say when I told him today that it was Christmas time...

Oh ya, and I got my new furniture. you cant tell how cute it is and I don't have pillows for it yet but I love it!

A crazy lady...

I think I've gone bananas...I have forgotten all about Halloween and like a crazy lady moved on to Christmas. Amy and I have been making some very darling things if I don't say so myself. One day I will blog some photos, I need to take some of my Halloween decorations before I take them down and start on Christmas (which will probably be sooner rather than later) So, that's the scoop going west. Boyfriend has a blog...adamharward.blogspot.com who would have thought...not me.

You dont want to get mixed up with a guy like me Dotty...

Is anyone there..? I doubt it. I really can't believe I still don't have my computer...or cable for that matter. My family has been in town for the past few days for Simone's blessing. It has been the best couple of days I have had in a long time...love these people more than life itself. My mother, where do I start...M is for the many....We went to Park City and had the best damn dinner ever, yes I swear AND go out to eat on Sundays.

Im back baybee!!!

Just kidding, I'm not but I thought I would blog while I was by a computer that isn't a Mac and I somewhat know how to use. Is the photo of Jr. in the hospital the saddest thing you have ever seen? Seriously, I don't know how people do it...have and raise children. I think the fact that I have a twin sister that I am so close to ...I HAVE SEEN TOO MUCH. My heart breaks too easy I think. Not that other peoples don't but I don't think I am capable of seeing a child suffer emotionally or physically. Having a family is my goal...its just the getting myself to actually do it that is going to be the hard part. I see Pookie and Jr. and I love them so much, I just don't know what I would do if anything ever happened to them, children of my own would be even more to freak out over. I hope that doesn't sound bad because I don't mean it that way at all. Anyway, the other photo is Adam, Granny and I at Seaport Village in San Diego a few weeks ago for my brother Walkers graduation, he got his masters and I'm very proud of him.

whats new...

It has been a crazy last few weeks...I am the worst blogger in the world. I still don't have my computer or cable for that matter. I wish I could say its because I'm not into that kind of stuff and I think it rots your brain...but I miss it terribly and I don't think it rots your brain...I mean you can learn a lot of life lessons from Big Brother. So anyway, the whole thing with sister and Simone almost sent me into the nut house. Maybe one of the worst things I have ever had to see people I love go through. The thought of something happening to that tiny helpless baby was more than I could handle and seeing sister in so much pain (physically and emotionally) was like a knife in my heart. My mom and I were just trying to be so stong for her...but the second she left the room we were crying our eyes out. I dont know what I would do without faith. BUT things are good and she is an angel. Our house is good but still having issues with the downstairs bathroom...two holes in the ceiling and they set my sink off center and now they might have to rip my wallpaper off to fix it...but I think it's real cute and I like being in my own home so much. My mom has been here forever and she leaves tomorrow and I'm so so sad. I really have tons of photos to blog...I just don't know when I will do it. I kind of miss it a little bit.

Punkie...

This little girl is such a bug! So, cute and such a good baby...you should see my Pookie with her, so sweet and loving, Im not going to lie I thought she was going to drag her around by her hair and both physically and mentally abuse her...but no, such a good big sister. I cant belive sister has two babys, its just crazy to me. I feel like I dont need to have kids because I already have two. Its been so fun to spend so much time with Pookie, she is an Aunties girl. Love her so much...might kidnap her.
How bad do I suck blogging, I still dont have my computer up. Not much going on anyway...

My girl...

My sweet little baby girl had her 2nd birthday party today...she is such a doll. I made her this little birthday hat, you cant see the whole thing but it had a big white pom-pom on top. She mouthed the words to the birthday song as we sang it, I love that little girl. Amy and I were almost crying our eyes out because she is such a big girl. It was really a fun day and so fun to all be together. I love days like this.

Dumb...

Every post sucks worse than the one before. I have been up at Amy's house a ton because my cute mom is in town and I have been wanting to blog but to be honest with you I dont know how to work sisters computer AT ALL. I found a bunch of old photos I forgot I even had from when we first started working on the house. One word...GROSS. Anyway, its almost done...even the outside is almost all the way painted. What will I blog about when my house is done and Im all settled. We will be getting our computer set-up in the next week or so. Not much has been going on just working a tiny bit and trying to get the house in order. Im so excited to have my family here. I love being with them. My dad comes next week for Estees birthday party and I cant wait to see him. He doesnt come as much as I and he wish he could. Hes so cute. Then on the 17th my dad and I fly to Las Vegas for "daddy daughter" weekend. We do it every year and it is so much fun. Too bad sister cant come this year, well, with her being knocked up and all. Ill miss her but seriously cant wait to get away.

2 years ago today...

I was there when my perfect baby Pookie came into this world. She has been one of my biggest blessings. I love her more than anything. I hope some day she knows just how much i love her!

HELLO THERE...

I am the worst blogger in the world. We STILL dont have our computer set up. Our house is almost finished, we have been working really hard. The outside is almost painted and then its on to never ending landscaping. I has been one thing after the next though...the other day after I got out of a short bath upstairs, the ceiling in the downstair bathroom was leaking. Things are going pretty good, its really nice to be in my house. I NEED to put some photos up but it has been crazy these last couple of weeks between the house and some not so very nice people in my life...but I wont even go into that. Hope everything is great. Some day I will blog like I use to.

Oh dear...

So...just when we think we are close to being done with the house...the next problem presents its self. Today I went into the down stairs bathroom and it was flooded with about and inch and a half of water...all the way into my closet (that just got all of the shelving and drawers 2 days ago)...there was no water around the toilet, just coming out of the drain in the shower and the one in the closet that our washer and dryer will go in. Anyway, the plumber came and basically pulled out a towel, a t-shirt, roots and I'm not going to lie...a few tampons.( I don't know, is that to much info?) But no...the humiliation and suffering didn't end there...our pipes had two breaks and its going to be $4,000 to fix. I personally can think of about 500 other ways I could spend that money. I guess that's what happens when your house was built over 70 years ago. I think those pipes in the front yard were about the only thing in the whole place that we didn't replace. I am however, so very happy to be in my little house. I love it so much. Well, that's about it...

Hello...

I sill dont have a computer set up...i miss blogging a little! Sorry you cant read this...but I thought I should post something...just in case someone still looks at my blog. I HAVE to post some photos of my house im loving having all my stuff in...hope everything is good for everyone... here is just a peek...

My house...

I hate not having a computer so much! Not to mention I dont know how to work Amys computer AT ALL, so I know you wont even be able to read this because of the color. Anyway, everything is going pretty good. Adam and I are moving into the house... FINALLY! Our carpet came on Saturday and so our bed is in and we stayed the night there for the first time last night! I cant tell you how great it was to be in our place and to have our own space. I cant wait to get everything set up...we still have so much to do and I feel like I will never get it all done. I am dying to post some phots but I have to wait until we set up our computer or I bring my camera here (to Amys). Im so happy with the way things are looking. Its almost weird to see our furnature in the house, because it has been empty for so long. I have had all of my stuff (except my clothes) in storage for so long it was like getting new everything. Well, Im going to try to put some photos up soon...Hope everyone is doing good!

Sunday...

Amy and I were ROLLING while we were taking these photos on her computer, I mean like my stomach is still killing me. I don't know why but we thought this was maybe the funniest thing ever. I love that Amy still looks pretty in hers and I look like teen wolf. It has been forever since I last posted because the computer at my in-laws in broken so we came up to Amy's for a very delish turkey dinner and I thought I would post. I have some photos of the house...our downstairs bathroom is almost totally done. the subway tiles on the wall turned out darling. Adam was over there ALL day on Saturday. Anyway, I didn't bring my camera so I couldn't post them. We are very excited though...the plumber comes on Thursday to put in all of our fixtures and then on Friday they install our carpet...at least that's what they say. You cant really count on that kind of stuff because it never happens when they say it will. Other than that nothing much has been going on. I hope every ones weekend was great.

Lunch...

Today I went to lunch because our friend Joni is getting married at the end of the month. It was fun to get together, because I don't get to see these girls very much....especially just the girls. These are Adams very best friends wives and I'm lucky they are so cute and sweet.
I obviously don't have anything to post about...this is cute boyfriend. I cut his hair last night and I think I did a pretty dang good job for never cutting a guys hair before. Although, he did tell me today that there were a few "stragglers"...but when he tried to show me these "stragglers" they were no where to be seen. Before I cut his hair, I looked up "how to cut a mans hair" online and the only thing I could find was this gal named Liz, owner of Liz's salon in Hollywood, Fl. and it was this play by play video of her cutting this greasy mans hair...but for some reason they had split this haircut up into like 10 1min. videos and at the beginning of every one she would say who she was. I think she did this because she was THE Liz and she owned Liz's beauty salon in Hollywood Fl....she was very proud. Anyway, I watched her broke-A video and when I stared to comb Adam's hair before I cut it he said "no one has ever combed my hair like that before" so I ditched Liz's techniques and threw cation to the wind. I think it turned out O.K., the only problem is I think he might try to make me cut it every time now.
This is us after a hard days work...I have M&M minis in my hot little hands...I like those O.K. I think I'm wishing they were kissables.

Happy tears...

Our darling little niece Ceciley (Adam's sister Angie's little girl) had a very special day today...her Dad Trent adopted her. I was really so great to be in the court room and see this little family come together. Angie and Trent got married when Ceciley was 1 and so he has raised her and loved her like his own. Her father NEVER was around but decided he didn't want Trent adopting her so they had to go to court...but he never showed up to any of the court dates. So, after a long legal struggle it was made official today. Trent even bought her a very special corsage, and she was very proud. I thought this was very cute, every year on this day he is going to take her out on a date, just the two of them.
When I was taking photos of Ceciley today tears started rolling down her cheeks, and when I asked her if she was o.k. she told me, "they are happy tears Auntie". I almost lost it, it was just such a great day and such a happy ending for their family! This is Ceciley with Adam and I, Shes quite the little doll.


Trent and Ceciley outside of the court.
on another note, things are coming together at the house!!! Finally i feel like when Adam say 2 more weeks this time he might actually mean it.

hip, hip, hooray...

My granite is in and I love it! You cant tell in the photo how beautiful the colors are. The upstairs is almost all the way done...I'm so excited the only thing left is installing the sink and toilet.


Meet boyfriend...
This cracked me up (no pun intended)...sorry if it o-ffends.

Missing home...

The problem with going home is coming back. I had such a good time with my family...the only person who wasn't there was my brother Walker (we missed him)! Marlo was a doll and so cute in the dress my mom made her, she looked like a little angel. This is my cute sister-in-law with Marlo, they are a darling little family!
Look at sweet Granny, it doesn't get better than this...Love her!
How cute is Marlo? VERY cute...she has big blue eyes and olive skin...quite the doll. Not to mention she has the sweetest disposition ever.
I know I said I would never put another pair of booties on again...but I lied. These are the greasy little numbers I made for her blessing...they were quite cute on. So what if I like ruffles and whatnots.
I love this one of my beautiful mom and Marlo. It has been so amazing to watch our family grow...It just keeps getting better. Now if we only lived closer to each other.
Not much has been going on...I started work yesterday and worked today. Its really nice only working 2 times a week. The house is going pretty good. But not good enough because I'm not in it. The granite guy was supposed to put the granite in today but of course they didn't...the up side to this is that I won a Million dollars...I'm a millionaire. I bet Adam that they wouldn't come and he was positive they would. This is the biggest problem we have run into working on the house...no one sticks to what they say. So, they say it will be in tomorrow...we will see about that. I will post some photos tomorrow...I got my fixtures and they are darling...and hopefully the granite!
