3 posts in one week?!?

Yes it's true....3 whole posts in 1 week!

For some reason the link to Kylee's dress didn't work in the post below. Here is a picture of it:

I showed it to her tonight and she loved it. I tried it on her and it just fit...but then I saw her dress from last year and remembered I had gotten it a size bigger. I tried it on her and it still fits...and she likes it better. She is able to spin around in the one from last year. I let her pick the one she wanted to wear and she chose the one from last year. So the one above is going back to the store. Oh well...saves me $15.

That wraps up my interesting Thursday evening post!! It's almost Friday...and Andrea's birthday!

I know, I know

So this week isn't looking much better as far as me improving on my blogging. I am sure I can find something to ramble on about...

I did find this cute dress for Kylee for Easter. I can't believe Easter is in March this year and is coming right up. I am excited to try the dress on her....I love when she dresses up!!

I don't think anything else too exciting has happened this week. Just working and all the usual weekly happenings. I will try to do a couple more posts before Sunday! Maybe I will post those pictures and video I promised a few posts ago...

**Oh and Andrea I wanted to keep the lottery winning a secret. :0)

Oops...

As usual, I was a bad blogger last week...today won't be much better. Here is the short and sweet weekend recap.

Friday:
*Kylee spending time with Garrett's grammy and papa--they got to pick them up at the airport before school and go swimming after school.
*Dinner with Katrina--I am not sure the name of the place but it was a yummy Mexican place in Nampa. Kylee was beat--she fell asleep in the chair. :0(

Saturday:
*Sleeping in
*running errands
*Carson's 3rd birthday party
*Replacing the DVD player--which broke AGAIN
*Cleaning while Kylee was in bed

Sunday:
*Kylee went to her dad's--they went to the park, played with some friends, and went to the Discovery Center
*Lunch and shopping with mom
*Grocery Shopping
*Playing Go Fish with Kylee
*Getting ready for Monday

I promise I will be better at blogging this week!!

No creative heading...

All my creativity has left me for the day and that is as good as my title is going to get. Onto the infamous weekend update:

Friday:
Kylee went to her dad's Friday and I enjoyed a nice evening at home. I ran to Fred Meyer to get some things to make Fajitas--Kylee won't eat them so I only make them when she is gone. I found a cute outfit for her while I was there. Their clearance was an extra 60% off. After I made dinner, I sat down and FINALLY finished my last disc of Lost from NetFlix---now I just have to watch the first 3 episodes from this season and I will be all caught up!!

Saturday:
I started the day with breakfast with my friend Katrina at Cafe De CoCo...I am loving this place! It's a cute little cafe down on 13th street in Nampa. I highly recommend it!! After breakfast I went and got my hair done. One of the girls who works for me also does hair. She put in blonde and some red highlights and then just trimmed my hair. I LoVe it! She did such a good job. She also did moms hair in between mine. It turned out really good. I will try to post a picture later this week.
After my hair, I picked up Kylee from her dads. They had quite the weekend. He took her to the horse expo down at the fairgrounds (wonderful suggestion from yours truly) Friday night. Saturday they went to the book store and then to see Water Horse. They both really liked it.
We then headed over to Ethan's birthday party. I still can't believe he is 1 yrs old already. Christy did a WoNdErFuL job on his cake and the whole party. Everyone had fun.

Sunday:
I will admit I skipped church today. No real reason...just decided to stay home this morning. After we got ready we ran to JcPenneys. I need some new dress shoes for work. Almost all of their clearance stuff is now marked down to at least $7.97. I found a cute pair of shoes for Kylee for $3.97, some shoes that are now a part of Andrea's birthday present for $3.97, new shoes for me--they were on sale but not that great of a deal, a shirt for me for $4.97, and a couple of other things. The best part was when she handed me my receipt and said "You saved a total of $117.11 today" I told her I loved hearing that!
After shopping we met the Foss crew and mom and dad at Blue Sky for lunch. After lunch we headed back to the Foss's and Andrea and I were able to get some scrapbooking in. I will try to post pictures of my layouts (I think I did 8 layouts) later this week as well.
Once we got home, Kylee and I worked on some of her homework. She had to read some things back to me...I was so impressed on how good she was reading. Here is a little video of her reading skills:




I will add another video of her tying her shoes later this week as well!

This week....

This week has flown by! I am not sure what has made it go by so fast but I am liking whatever it is! I was sick yesterday and normally I hate just sitting at home when I am sick but yesterday even flew by.

Last week Kelly pointed me out to this website. They were having a good sale. I found this, this, and this. For all three items my total came to less than $20. I got them all today and LoVe them all! I found a couple more things when I was getting the links for the items I did buy...this could be bad...but how cute is this and this?

Thanks Kelly for sharing the good deal....I am off to see what else I can find!!

The Weekend............

As much as everyone loves it....here are the highlights....

Friday night we went to hang out with the Foss crew. We had some yummy nachos for dinner--thanks! After we ate, Andrea and I ran to Walmart and then my place to grab my scrapbooking stuff. I don't think we started until after 8 so I was only able to get one layout done. Here it is...the pictures are not a very good shot but at least they are something right?!?


Saturday morning we took it rather easy...once we finally got ready I took Kylee to lunch and her favorite place with the purple seat. After lunch we had some time to kill before she went to her dad's. We ran to Barnes and Noble and then she suggested we go to the mall. Once I pulled in I figured out why...I heard this little voice from the back say "Mommy can we go to the pet store?" We spent most of our time there and it was soon time to go. I dropped her off and met Christy at Paper Cottage. We had planned on scrapbooking that evening but the snow and bad roads quickly changed our plans. I decided to head home--the beginning of my interesting evening. First I got stuck on the hill by my house--that was fun and instantly put an end to me getting comfortable driving in the snow. Once I made it home I decided to watch Lost while I did some scrapbooking. I was just getting ready to scrapbook when my cell phone decided to break. I don't have a home phone so I was without a phone until this afternoon. I felt out of touch with the world! So I plug in Lost and sit down to start on my scrapbooking. I can't get the DVD to play. Long story short, my DVD player broke. I scrapped a few pages and then finally called it a night around 1230. Here are my pages from last night:





Now I only have 2 more layouts and I am caught up---with 2006.

I don't know how much snow we woke up to today but it was a lot. My parents went and got Kylee since they have 4 wheel drive. When they got here it was still snowing so they drove me to the Verizon store. I quickly exchanged my phone and we headed to meet the Mungers for lunch. The kids had a blast playing in the play area. After lunch I ran to Shopko and picked up a new DVD player. We got home and I started cleaning---I was able to get all of it done but Kylee's room. Kylee and I ran to Walmart for a few things and now we are staying put for the rest of the evening. She got Dumbo from Netflix and is in love with it!! I plan on watching Lost once she goes to bed. Hopefully I will be caught up soon!!

**I am working on a banner too...it will be up soon!
