attack of the butter baby

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
