All About Macie

This is the newest photo edit that Rob has done of Macie. I absolutely LOVE it! I told him which pictures that I would like to see in a collage and he delivered! :)

Rob Barbee is very reasonable with his prices and flexible with his time. I've had him take the kids pictures for the past two years and have been more than pleased with the outcome. I LOVE the photos and the quality is superior! I couldn't be happier.

You can find his information, galleries, pricing and more all at his website.

Your Cries Have Been Heard

More more...well...here they are:

Keep in mind that these are unedited. He's waiting for me to choose what I want before he does any major work one them.

There's actually a ton of them. I'm sending him a list of ones that I'd like edits done to and he usually posts them for me to check out. I'll post some of those when he gets done with them. :)

Wordless Wednesday

Just a taste of some of the kids new pictures. :)

Pizza, Frogs, BRAND NEW BLOG...You know, the usual

So, whatdya think? New design...all new blog? I think Sharnee did a pretty awesome job if you ask me!

According to Sharnee:
{I offer cheap pre-made blogger designs! Don't pay $50+ for one! If you want something one of a kind then this is the place to look.}

She has pages of adorable blogger templates that run from $10-$25. The templates only work with blogspot, so for all you other users...sorry. Go check it out!

Sharnee did a fabulous job designing my BRAND NEW project blog. I have already managed to post a project and will be keeping it updated with new projects, recipes, anything that I basically do in all my spare time. *wink wink!* Check it out here.



Now on to other important issues. Things like pizza and frogs.

Today Ryan, the kids, and I were eating a supreme pizza at Pizza Hut when Ty pulls a large chunk of green pepper off his pizza and hands it to Ryan and says, "I don't like it Daddy."

Then...after he takes a long moment to study the recently unwanted pepper, he goes on to ask, "Is dat a frog Daddy?" :)

Yep...that's how we like our pizza's. You know...supreme...with frogs.

Hear that?

It's the winds of change, and I'm excited! So, just as a warning, if you pop in on this bloggolicious blog and something just doesn't seem right, have no worries...it will soon be under contruction for a short period of time.

On another note...I'm making a call for help. I am going to be creating another blog to post my projects, accomplishments, hobby stuff...things like that. BUT, there's one little issue. I need the perfect, catchy, you've just got to love it bloggie name. I'm throwing the door wide open, feel free to pepper me with ideas! It will be a trial blog of sorts. I don't want to overload and if it just doesn't work then I'll just go back to using only this one, but I'd like to see how it goes.

So without further ado...IDEAS???

Sleeping Angel

Five Minutes for Mom is hosting a sweet little contest! This is my entry of my own sleeping angel. :)

You can win a super cool bedroom set for you child. I would choose the Summer Breeze set for sure!

Thanks guys for the contest!

Of Scrubs, Projects, and Escapades

"Ooooo...mommy...I think I'm stuck!"

My ornery, stubborn, into everything sweet little girl is quite adventurous these days. Now that she is OFFICIALLY walking all over the place and rarely doing anything else, we have reached a new level of escapades.

"No worries! I'm super baby and have successfully unstuck myself and made it around the Foosball table just fine!"

I have included a few pictures of Macie when she was still crawling just to mark her end to that stage. However, now that she is walking she is into EVERYTHING exploring quite a bit.
She's managed to:

• throw a few of her toys into the toilet,
• open up all my bottom kitchen cabinet doors and strew things everywhere,
• find a stack of index cards and place them neatly *cough cough* around the house,
• and last for this post but certainly not least, her favorite activity of opening the living room cabinet and pulling out all her diapers and throwing them wildly around the room.

Yes, lest any of you should wonder...this is a disaster area in our bedroom. (again, no worries, shortly after this picture was taken the mess was cleaned and neatly stored away)

BUT, Macie took advantage of the endless opportunities this cyclone provided and disappeared under the mass piles of the unknown into the extreme world of "childhood."

She emerged shortly after on the other side of the glider safe and sound. :)

So...yes...I've been doing "projects." Have I mentioned them before? Hmm...I think not.

PROJECT #1:

Center piece for the kitchen table. *still as of right now the USB ports are down, thus I can download NO new pics unless I find a willing person to allow me to download on theirs and send them to myself in an email.*

I set off for Michaels and came home with a small treasure mine full of autumn related items.

After a round of glory with hot glue gun and scissors, I successfully made the awesomest *yes...that's a word here* center arrangement ever!!! I LOVE it! It's gorgeous and definitely doesn't looks just like something I'd make. I can't wait to share pictures of it!!!

PROJECT #2:

Diaper wreath for a friend who is due in 9 days. YAY!

A little hot glue, ribbon, LOTS of diapers, curly ribbon, scissors, pink feathers, sparkly letters and a big pink flower and voila...I had a SUPER cute diaper wreath.

It has already been shown to the mom-to-be and she loved it, which made all the difference in the world! :)

PROJECT #3:

Swap kitchen cabinets.

Yes, I have 4 cabinets. Well, I have more than that but the ones that are importantly related to this tale are the 4 I just mentioned.

So...anyway...I have 4 cabinets. Two of which are completely accessible while the other two are NOT!!! However, my brilliant mind when we moved into this house *because all of you know how clearly you think when you're moving...and yes I know it's been two years and I could have already done this long ago but come on...at least I'm tackling it now* didn't think of putting everything in it's perfect spot.

Today, I was determined to clean out all 4 cabinets and switch the stuff I never used to the less accessible cabinets and the things that I use CONSTANTLY to the more accessible ones.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Oh yeah...and I cleaned out the bottles, bibs, burp clothes, blankets...you know...all the baby stuff that Macie has outgrown and labeled and stored it away, not to mention cleaned out their closet and did the clothing size update switcharoo thingy too.

Project 1 and 2 were done another day.

All the other stuff I did before and after I had to interpret a night class at a local college this evening.

Whew...I actually feel like I accomplished quite a bit today!!! YAY!

___

Scrubs??? Why would an interpreter need scrubs you may ask? That's right folks. I have the opportunity to interpret in a pharmaceutical setting.

Requirements:

• background check *done*
• TB test *doing that tomorrow*
• Drug test *done*
• scrubs *done*

Yay...I get to pretend to look like a doctor. How fun for me! Happy day. :)
