My baby girl is 5!! :)

She woke up feeling sick, but after a little medicine and some rest this morning she's acting more like herself... :)

How did this happen?? She's getting so big so fast! :)

Par-Tay!!

Today we had a little party to celebrate Hailey's upcoming 5th birthday. It was so fun!! We limbo'd, played balloon volleyball, scavenger hunted, ate cake, and had the best time! It was the most simple, but most fun birthday party yet!

We love you Hails!! :)

Thirty-Three!

Happy 33rd Birthday to my hubs!

We love you, Toddler! :)

A few random pics...

Why aren't these random pics of your children, you ask? Maybe because trying to get them to hold still long enough for an "un-blurry" shot is nearly impossible these days. And since my camera is still dead I'm trying to take shots with my phone.

So here are a few of my current favorite things in our new home...

Firstly, Owen's big boy bed! I love how this room looks. It might be my favorite room in the whole house at the moment. It's just a happy place... :)

Here is my newly organized pantry! We've only lived here for nearly 2 months...and it was time to organize since I kept buying duplicates of all of my canned goods. ;)

Here is a picture of my dining room with my beautiful white mirror!! I just love it! We got it for a steal at a garage sale and then had a heck of a time figuring out how to paint it, but in the end just love how it turned out. The dining room is about to get a little makeover in the very near future. Very excited about that. :)

Speaking of this dining room makeover, were you thinking I was leaving these red snowflake chairs in here?? No sir. I'm going to make an attempt to re-upholster them myself. :/ Let's be honest, I'm probably going to have to call someone and pay to have them finished, but I'll give it the 'ole college try anyways.
Imagine this beauty with a fresh coat of glossy white paint and some new grey and yellow fabric on them. I'll let you know how it goes.

And I promise to keep making attempts to get some sort of kid pics up!

We are Alive!! I promise!!

We are alive over here, I assure you! :) between the exhausting task of moving and getting settled, Hails getting settled into her pre-k routine, a laptop with a crashed hard drive and misplacing the charger to my camera blogging has been difficult.

I will, however, be getting my fully functional laptop back tomorrow and will order a new charger for my camera soon...maybe my sister has some pics I can steal, er...I mean borrow... ;)

Oh, Mikey...

Here's Mikey...as a horsey...or maybe a pack mule?? At any rate, the kids had a blast playing all together on Sunday. Here's the action shot...
Ah...good times. :)

I drank the Kool-Aid... :/

Or at least that's what Todd and my dad keep saying. ;)

My sister recently started selling Norwex products and to support her new business I hosted a party.

It.was.awesome.

Here is the pile of things that I got FOR FREE just for hosting.

Who'da thought I'd ever get this excited over housework?? It's magic, I tell ya! ;)
