hiding

I hope everyone had a great xmas,,, we really did!! It was an extended one.. lasted a week. Reese doesn't know what to do w/everything. Having a bday this close to the holiday makes everything blur together. I also have a heavy heart, thinking about the Reidle family and what they are going through, I just can't imagine.
On a lighter note.. Reese and I were playing hide and seek, and I was walking down the hall and spotted this....

this is her favorite place to hide. I just HAD to get a crack picture!!

I sat down last night to download all my pictures ( 158 of them) And the sad part is I really have no good ones. Reese is a shit about getting her picture taken and I have lots of the back of the head, side profile pictures. Very disappointed. I need to ask Amber what camera to get that doesn't have ANY sort of delay. If anyone has a camera they love,, please let me know!!

play date

this was Reese after the play date.She was EXHAUSTED!!

Trying to get 2 two year old's to smile is a challenge

Reese hugging Ella

We both had a great time!!

And Ella is Jenn's little girl who makes all the fun stuff.She made these clips for Reesie also, I love them!! They stay in great, and Reese will wear them because she knows they came from Jenn.



Her new fav place to talk on the phone

He remembered our anniversary :)

We are now trying to have num-num's only during sleep time ( they are all in the basket). This is her during her nap

Poor thing,,,,

birthday girl

Monday was Reesie's bday.
She has her own drill now and LOVES it.( I am so proud)

That evening we had her friends over for a little party.

Mikayla Ann came over after school, and then we took her home. Reese REALLY likes to play with Mikalya

(And my friend Jenn made the hat)

gingerbread house

Sunday we did a little gingerbreading.. Reese had fun.. I did too!!:)
This is the finished product, notice the ram ontop.. no clue why she put it there. I guess she thought it needed it:)

eating as much as she could

she was very serious when we first started!!

cooking panties

So today this darn computer is working,, I would love to post pictures of Reese's first, 2nd bday party,but last Mon. when I downloaded them, the computer crashed again,, and now I can't find them. I'm trying not to freak out,, I have faith in our computer guy that her will find them. :)

The pics are of 2 kittens we thought about getting,,, but we have decided to wait, cause Bob hated them.

Them the others are of R and new new kitchen that she loves!! She found a passy that day we were playing and you would have thought she found gold!!

random pictures

Thank you Gary for the computer fix and tune up!!


Jayton was a cutie @ tgiving as always. Reese even fed him!!

busy week

It has been a VERY busy week.
First of all,,,, a big PRAISE JESUS that our house is sold and we closed on Wed.!!!
I wish I had the energy to tell the whole story, but to make a long story short,, we put an offer on a house Sept.15th,,, closed on the house Oct 15th, and sold ours Nov. 19th. We didn't even have to list our house w/ a realtor!! All in the worst time ever.
It is like we were the chess set and God was moving things just where they needed to be.

I am also super excited for Reese's bday and xmas.,,,,,
She will have so much fun this year,,, and it is so fun to shop for her. She likes pretty much anything, and it doesn't have to be expensive. LOVE the dollar store!!!

SO here are a few pics from the past week or so.:)

One of my fav. outfits of the year. I love crazy clothes!!!




This is my cat bed I was talking about earlier. Green and brown.. love the two colors

Mikayla and Julie came over last Sun. We made turkeys w/paint.

last weekend pics

Last weekend we watched Tody while mom & dad went to Tenn.
Reese loved his bed.. ..

And everyone enjoyed Toby being here

Reese's first Tea party w/ her dolls

I'm not sure what she was doing, but I think she was teaching the pony how to eat with a spoon.

Tagged

I got tagged by the lovely Amanda
http://littlemankingdom.blogspot.com/ (sorry it has taken me a week).
So I have been thinking,, 6 random things

1. I play piano/guitar for our praise band on Sunday nights,, it is truly a highlight of my week, (or every other) even though there are times it is a pain in the butt to get there.
2. My Reesie is a bad sleeper. I got 5 hrs last night. 3 then 1 then 1 hr. The doc keeps saying one day she will grow out of it, she is just like her daddy and doesn't require that much sleep. It is amazing what your body can adapt too when it has too. :)
3. Before i was married and had Reese I work as a Salon Educator for a large manufacturer. I got to dress up in the hippest clothes, the COOLEST, HIGHEST shoes, and got to travel from New york city (where our salon was in Rockefeller center) to L.A. where our corporate offices are. It was a different life, sometimes I forget I even did all of that,, like today when I was at Target, excited because I found a 9$ holiday shirt. It is very mommy-ish and I only got it cause Reese likes it.Not something I would have chose before,, but oh what we will do to make them smile. I wouldn't trade this life for a million $$!!
4. I truly believe the reason I took that job, was so I could re-meet Christopher. If I wouldn't have been on the road traveling we would have never ran into each other. ( It is amazing what you can find at a truck stop) ;)
5. I bought a cat bed also at Target and like the colors so much I may decorate my living room to match it. Is that just wrong or what?!?!
6.Even though I am a hair dresser, I hate to do my own hair. I would rather do 5 other peoples hair than have to fix my own. I think it is because I can never get it to look as good as someone I do., or because I am just lazy.

I do not know who to tag,, so hope everyone is staying dry and warm,, have a good one!!

I finally got this on video :)

The Fall

These are a few of the many reasons I love our new house. These trees. The colors are just so vibrant this year.
This tree just started turning this week.
This one is my fav. and I get to look at it from my shop windows :)

Then we have the BIG Oak tree.

It has lived a good life, but there are parts of it starting to die. I hope It holds on for a few more years. I have an arborist friend, and he said it was 80+ years old. Just imagine what all it has seen.:)

hair cut

I know as a hair dresser my kid needed a hair cut..a good one. She got her first cut @ like 3 months. ( she was a little monkey)
So I finally layered up her hair. I cut all the stringy shit off. It does look thicker now,,, but boy her ponies are short. :(
And it has a bit of a red tint today:)

Groser than grose

Last night we were making dinner, I just turned around to grab the camera to take a pic of Reese making potatoes when I saw this...



She took a chuck out of the butter!!! AGH!!! Like 2 Tbs!! She then ate it and asked for more.

Before that,, Reese was being silly eating applesauce.

Andy Man

Today I had to put our Andy man to sleep. I took him in to get fixed, and his shots since he had now made our new home his too. He spent the day time outside, and at night he would come in and sleep at our feet. He just started to sit with Reese and I at night when we would rock. Andy loved Reese, you could tell.
He had the feline leukemia and aids.
He couldn't be around any other cats, so I had no other choice.He was such a good cat. You may laugh, but he was special. He looked after Reese. He would follow us when we took walks just like a dog. I hate this. I hate we can get so attached to animals.
I had no clue I would miss him, or even cared this much.
I hate this

picture info

Thanks for all the comments!!
I got the picture at a florist/decorative shop here in town ( Evansville, In)
It is called Gailhouse florist. You can pick from an assortment of different pictures, and then they have the frames there too.
I don't know if the have a web site. Probably not but it is worth a try to find something online.
If anyone wants directions to the store let me know.:)

computer nerd

Ah,,, I have created a computer nerd already!!:)

She is actually trying to play a game. Hasn't got it yet, but I am sure it will be soon
