What Happens in Vegas

I saw this for the second time last night, and I love it!  The humor reminds me a lot of Just Married which I love too.  If you want a fun lighthearted movie I recommend this.  You will get a really good laugh through out the whole movie.  I love Ashton. His sense of humor and mannerisms crack me up.

Since I just found out Brianna started one of these I wanted to share it.  I never saw a post about it on her site and I wanted to spread the word.  She has an amazing talent.  Click here to check out her site. 

P.S. Technically it is tomorrow since I am posting this past 12:00 am.  I guess I just can't sleep tonight. So I didn't break my promise. 

Last one today. {I promise}

Recap for our FFD= Family Fun Day. I needed to get out and do something fun. This hit the spot. We had such a good time, and I think Drake has a new favorite addiction.  Putt Putt all summer long baby. Hope everyone has a safe and fun memorial weekend. Take care. 

I swear he's not takin' a dukey. 

These tulips were gorgeous against this blue. The colors just pop. 

Brandon gets the hero of the day award. We almost lost our ball in the river. He caught it just before it went down the raging falls. 

"Hey mom!" 

How cute is this surfboard.  They had a row of them all lined up.  

Beware!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAGE

My niece SAGE is 4 years old today. Happy Birthday Sage. Wish I could come dress up as a pirate and go on a treasure hunt with you!! Love you lots. xoxo.

Information overload.

Sorry for the information overload yesterday. I am feeling much better today. I don't feel like ripping my hair out and having a pity party for myself today. We took Drake miniature golfing today and it was a freakin' sweet course and to top it off it's free for 3 and under. We didn't have to pay a dime to play for an hour and a half. He just may be the next Tiger Woods ;) I'll post pictures later.

Random Thoughts.

I feel I've been in somewhat of a slump the past few days. I swear I shut out the world when i am like this. I'm like a bottle that can't be opened and I am just ready to explode. I've always had a hard time expressing my feelings and I always put up a wall. Why is this?? Does anyone else share the same feeling. So, in hopes to release something inside of me I thought I would try to talk about it or anything for that matter.

My mom is here with me for the summer! I am so glad to have her here. Growing up there were times I would just go lay with my mom in her bed and we would talk late into the night. We did this again last night. These are some of my favorite memories with my mom. A haven where my world slows down and finds peace. Through out the years I know I have come to peace with my mom being blind. When I was younger I used to pray every night that she would be able to see again. It slowly faded off through out the years, because I know she will see again, but I believe not in this lifetime.

So randomly though, the other night I found myself pleaing and sobbing to my Heavenly Father for my mom to see again in this life. Probably cause I know He is the Master of all things and could return her sight in an instant, but why not? I can't tell you how long it's been since I have prayed for that and it's not even for my sake. I hate having to watch her struggle and feel useless, and worthless. It's been 21 years and she has endured so many things. I have my why? moments, which I am sure everyone has. Obviously I know there is a purpose and reason for whatever challenges we face in this life, but that doesn't mean sometimes I can't just flat out think it sucks.

On another note. My children keep my joy a flowin' that's for sure. They are what keep me wanting to be a better person. It's amazing the feelings that are created in your life when you have children to share it with. They make everything okay. Well, I think this is long enough for today. There is a ton more on my mind, but a little at time. Right? Hope you all have a wonderful Thursday! xoxo.

Took some pictures last sunday while we were hanging outside for mother's day.  Taya is my little niece. She is such a fun, beautiful little girl.  

WOW.

I found this on some random blog. And really I only have one word. WOW! What a woman. Can you imagine having 6 babies. How do they all fit in one little uterus. I am in complete awe. 

The finished product.

And so it is done. For the most part. Yay! As my friend Ashley said, it reminds her of a candy shop.  Yes, it is bright and fun. I was expecting it to turn out a little more subtle, but I love it and Brandon, thank you for all the hard work.  My ideas turn out to be more of a chore for him and fun for me!  Good thing he is a handy man.  I always loved that about him.  

Mother & Son

Just wanted to share a beautiful picture of Brandon and his mom from yesterday. 

Teaser.

I finished some paintings for Ava's room the other day.  We are finally after (only) 9 months finished with the bead board, man that stuff's a pain.  Her room is so bright and fun.  We will be hanging these and a few other things tomorrow morning, so i will post the finished product. 

(This painting with the two little birdies was inspired buy PB kids) Thank you, but I didn't want to spend the money and I wanted it bigger, so I re-created it and added mine own little touches. 

One Request.

Drake had one simple request when he woke up from his nap today. "Mom, I have a cupcake, pleassse?!"  I really wanted to take him to this cute little place called Happy Cakes, but it's a bit of a drive (another day, maybe tommorrow), so we settled for the Target bakery instead. And since I can't resist any dessert, oh and I don't try to either, we ate cupcakes and then drove to this little barn afterwards to take a look around.  

Nothing schnazzy...

Just a few more pictures I liked.  

Oh and I was wedding tagged by Robyn, so if you'd like to see a couple pictures click here.

I had already posted some awhile back.

 

Out of the mouth of Drake...

Last night we went to "Chi chill A" (chick fil-a) and while Drake was in the play place, he kept staring at this older kid that was in there with his little sisters.  When I walked in Drake exclaimed, "Oh NO, mom, there's a giant." (pointing at the kid).  

This morning Drake was saying the prayer to bless the food, and I guess he thought it was a little more important to be informative to Heavenly Father today.  "Dear Heavenly Father, I go poop in the toilet and got a sucker. Amen." 

Windy? Ya think!
