My little copy cat.

As you all know I'm pregnant & close to having baby Coleson.

This morning after I got the boys breakfast & cleaned up we sat down to watch

Caillou (Spelling?) on the Sprout network.

As I sat down I said to myself (out loud) man my feet hurt!

My little Gagie jumped off the couch  picked up my foot & rubbed it a couple times, then grabbed the other one & rubbed it a few times.

Then he climbed back on the couch next to me & cuddled in.

It was the cutest thing ever.

I hugged & kissed him & told him what a nice boy he was to take care of mommy.

He obviously watches daddy rub mommas feet (such a good husband).

I am so thankful that my boys have such a good example for a father.

They are such sweet boys & I am so proud of them.

Me and a mini van?

Well it finally happened.

I am a mini van owner!!!

Just over a year ago I swore I would never own a mini van.

But today we bought one!

I love it!

It is so nice & is going to be so convenient when Coleson arrives.

It drives so smooth & has so much room.

I'm not a photographer so my pictures leave a lot to be desired.

But it is so nice & I love it.

I didn't think to get a picture of the front but it doesn't really look like a van it looks more like a durango. (Spelling?)

It's a 2008 dodge caravan.

Taylor Swift

This last Tuesday night I went to see Taylor Swift with my beautiful daughter Courtnie her friend Nicole & my cute cousin Kelsey.

We had a good time (Sorry I don't have any pics this time.)

Taylor was great it was a very high energy concert.

I love all of her songs & she is a very cute girl.

One thing I could do without though is how much she flips her hair.

Other than that I Loved it!!!

I think I loved watching the group of girls around 10 years old to the side of us just as much.

They were so cute dancing & singing & yelling "We Love you Taylor"! 

If any of you get a chance to go see her you really should she will only get better the older & more seasoned she becomes.

Her opening acts were Gloriana

They are new so they didn't really sing very many songs, but they are good.

And

Kelly pickler was suppose to open for her to but she was sick so we didn't get to see her.

We were pretty bumbed about that.

Especially Court she really likes her.

Oh well what can you do?

We had a good time anyways & Taylor was great!

Thanks Court Love ya!!!

Happy Mothers day!

I'm a little late on my mothers day post but I'm still gonna do it.

We had a busy mothers day.

We started out with church then we went to Jer's Moms to wish her a happy day & spend some time with her.

Then it was off to the park to spend some time with my mom & family.

The boys had the most fun at the park we couldn't get them off the play ground.

Kelton was mad because he couldn't figure out how to get up on the plat form to go on the big slide.  Eventually he figured it out & was happy again.

This is my cute little nephew Briggs, he belongs to my sister.

He is 2 months younger than the boys.

The boys are just starting to have fun playing with each other & they are all so cute together.

I had a wonderful mothers day.

My beautiful daughter Courtnie made me this beautiful necklace & earrings.

(I'm sorry for the crappy pictures, but I'm not a photographer.)

My pictures do not do it justice they are really really pretty.

Incase you can't tell the stones on the end are a pastel purple.

I love it & I love it even more because she made it herself.

My handsome son gave me this really good smelling lotion & this sweet sweet card.

He picked the card out special for me, it has real flowers on the front.

My mom said he was so worried about what to write that would be special.  

He is such a sweet boy with such a big sweet heart.

The inside of the card reads:

Mom, Thank You

For all you have done for me.

You are the Best mom in the whole world 

I love you so much I may not always show it but I really do.

You are the greatest I love you 

Love Cody.

I also got these cards from the boys.

They made them in their nursery class at church.

They also gave me one of those little rainbow flowers that go in your garden & spin when the wind hits them.

I am so lucky to have all of my Beautiful children & am so thankful for my family.

I don't know what I would do without my kids.

I am so excited for this next one (Coleson) to get here then our family will be complete.

I love you so much kids you will never know how much.  Thank you for making my mothers day very special.

Oh & if your wondering what my sweet husband got me....

Yep!!!

He bought me a MacBook.

Now I can blog on the go & anywhere.

So far I'm loving it!!!

Thanks Baby, you spoil me & I probably don't deserve it.

I am so lucky to have found you & that you picked me out of the bunch.

I look forward to many more mothers days with you, I Love You!!!

STUPID SNOW!!!!!!!!!

I am so sick of the cold & the snow I could scream!

I'm sick of being stuck in the house with 2 toddlers that want nothing more than to be outside kicking balls or jumping on the tramp!

Where is the sun & the warm?

Are we ever going to see it again???

I want to go to the park & get out of the house I'm tired of being locked up inside!!!

STUPID SNOW & COLD!!!!!

I need some help!

Ok besides the obvious!!!

I am looking for a 36 piece 1/8 inch Steel Stamping Set it looks like this (or one like it).

If anyone out there knows where I can find one please let me know.

I called Harbor  Freight & they are sold out & the ware house is on back order so they won't have them for awhile.

Thank you for any help that you can give me!!!

The Wonders.

I was sitting on the couch today watching my boys play & a thought came into my head.

I am so lucky to be able to stay home with them & watch them grow.

It amazes me how much they learn every day.

The wind was blowing pretty hard & I had the front door open "to let the sunshine in"

the wind was whistling through the screen & Gage was amazed by the sound that it was making.

I watched him walk over very carefully about 2 feet away from the screen.

He was listening very intently as the sound would come & go.

Then he came running over to me & started making a sound like the wind & pointing at the door.

I said yes that's the wind making that noise huh.

He ran back over to the door & listened some more & would come & tell me when it would do it again.

This isn't anything amazing on most levels by any means, but to a momma these are the moments that we cherish.

And I am so great full that I get to be home with them to watch all of these little things happen that don't mean much to others, but they mean so much to me.

I NEED HELP!!!

I think I'm in over my head.

I decided this year that I want to start a team for Relay for Life to raise money for cancer research & education.

I've wanted to do it in the past 5 years but I didn't know anyone that was doing it, I still don't.

This year I decided to just find out the information myself & start my own team.

Yes I think I'm crazy, who does this when they have 2 almost 2 year olds & one on the way?

I guess that would be me.

I'm trying to take charge & do something good.

Have any of you ever done this program or ever heard of it?

If so please help me!!!

I need good DEPENDABLE people to join my team as members or support walkers.

Team members help me raise money & do fund raisers etc. and are 100% invested in the walk as well.

The support walkers are ones who also can help with raising money but they are mostly support walkers on the day of the relay.

The Relay is at Roy High School June 19th and is a 24 hour long walk to raise money for cancer research & education.

One team member or support walker has to be on the track at all times so you do get a break you don't have to walk for 24 hours straight unless you want to.

I will be taking turns as I will be like 7 months pregnant.

We will have a camp site for tents etc for those that want to stay over night.

There is entertainment & activities that will be going on around the clock & a ton of food I'm told.

Everyone that I have talked to so far says that it is a blast & that you will want to do it every year.

So I need team members, support walkers & PLEASE any ideas on fund raisers or ways to raise money that you have.

Get your creative juices going & please help me out.

If you want more info please email me at tinabean1988@yahoo.com

Thank you!!!

Blogging Slump.....

I've been in a blogging slump for awhile now.

I just feel like I have nothing important or interesting to say these days.

That or I have a good idea, but I forget it before I can blog about it.

I'm so sick of winter, the snow and gray sky's.

I need some sunshine & warm weather.

I need spring & summer.

I think I need a vacation where it's warm & I can wear shorts & lay by the pool.

Is anyone else feeling this way?

Please tell me I'm not alone!!!

A New Calling.

I am so excited I have a new calling in church.

They took me out of Nursery & put me back in Young Women's!

My very 1st calling was in Young Women's & I fell in love right away.

The Girls were sweet & ambitious & the leaders I was with were amazing.

I was a Laurel Advisor & then the Secretary before I was put in Nursery.

Now I am the Mia Maid Advisor & I'm loving it so far.

Sometimes I don't know if the girls are learning more or if I'm learning more.

I love to be around those amazing spirits & smiling faces.

I hope that I will do a good job & the girls will benefit from the lessons that I have learned in my life & continue to learn.

2009 is looking to be a very good year for me!  :)

Good News!

To everyone or anyone that reads my blog 1st of all Thank You!

2nd I'm Sorry I've been Absent.

I have been so busy with the holidays and new year that I haven't had time or made time to blog.

That and I'm just getting over a really bad cold that has gone it's rounds through out my family.

So I promise I'm really going to try to post more often.

Oh and one more Big reason why I haven't posted.....

Yep I'm 9 weeks Pregnant and have had a lot of morning sickness.

I think I'm finally starting to feel a little better though.

This is my last little one after my C-section I'm having my tubes tied.

So pray for a girl this time or Court & I are gonna be really out numbered.

Oh and it's for sure just one this time!!!

Carrie Underwood.

I know that this post is a bit late but I'm posting it anyways.

The purpose of this blog for me from the beginning has always been a journal.

I started it to keep some memories (I need to do a better job) so I guess better late than never.

So as you know from my previous post I went to the Carrie Underwood concert with my daughter Courtnie, her friend Nicole & my cute Cousin Kelsey.

We had so much fun Carrie is a wonderful entertainer & she is funny as well as a great singer.

We started the night off with some dinner everywhere we went was like an hour wait so we just went to Denny's.

Then it was off to the concert....

Little Big Town opened up for her & they were really good.

Then the excitement mounted.....

Concert tickets $45.00

Gas about $10.00

Dinner $15.00

A night out with my 16 year old daughter Courtnie

PRICELESS!!!

Thanks Court for inviting me out with you.

I Love you more than you will ever know!!!

I'M SO EXCITED!!!

I'M SO EXCITED!!!

A few months ago my daughter told me that she wanted to go to the Carrie Underwood concert.

Her dad gave her money for a ticket for an early christmas present. 

She called up her good friend Nicole and she brought her money to get her a ticket to go also.

And surprise!!!

She even asked her mom if she wanted to go!!!

I know a teenager actually wanting her mom to go, & not as a driver (because she has her license & her own car).

I said no at first, you know the whole money thing.

But after I thought about it for awhile I thought I'd be stupid to miss out on this bonding time with my baby girl.

So I'm going to see Carrie Underwood tonight!!!

But I think I'm more excited to be spending some quality time with my beautiful daughter & that's really what it's all about!!!

You know God works in mysterious ways.

I have had a few family problems lately, & a few personal set backs.

I haven't felt like myself for awhile now & have been very hard on myself.

I was catching up on my sister Nikki's blog & she had exactly what I needed.

(Thank You Nikki)

I'm not sure where she found this video but it sure made me stop & do some serious thinking.

It reminded me that I cannot be sorry, sad or mad about the things that I don't have or cannot be.

I am ME and I am worth it, I am worth more than even I know & I have to be thankful for Everything & Everyone in my life.

I have found in my life that things happen for a reason & people happen into our lives for a reason.

We may not know at the time why things happen, we may never know, but everything does happen for a reason.

I have been reminded to be Thankful for everything that I do have, and I really do have a lot to be Thankful for.

Maybe this video will help one of you, if nothing else it is so inspiring.
