Well she is at it again...
And it is good news! Taylor racked up all A's this semester, my smart girl, I'm sooooo proud of her!!!

Ella got her new bunk beds!
We had a complete mattress rotation here! Me and Jamie got a new mattress, so Tay got our old one, she is in a big queen size bed now!!! And then Ella got Tay's old mattress, and we bought one more for the bunk bed.
Ella was so excited that she had to sleep on the top, and now she is ready for Gramma to come for a sleepover cause she has a bottom bunk for her!

A little conversation at my house this morning...
Jack: "mommy apple juice peeeeas?"
Mommy: "of course, since you asked so nice"
Ella: "he wants peas? like I was for trick or treating when I was a baby"
These silly kids!

"mommy house me" Jack always wants me to go into the Rose Petal College with him. Trouble is I don't quite fit, hehe! So I have to open it up, and sit half in, half out. So Jack is in there, laughing, cracking up, being silly, and I think, oooh maybe I can get a happy pic for once! NOPE! Look at that stinker, the camera comes out, the pooty lips go on, hehe! Never mind the nonmatching clothes!

I just finished 2 more of my frames today!!! The first one is a custom made one for my sister in law for her cousin that is having a baby (my first sale by the way, thanks Sheila!!!).
The 2nd one is going in my etsy shop! The crown and "diva" are all glittery!!!

Guitar Hero!!!

Being that the kids were constantly arguing over who got to play when (ok, so maybe me and Jamie got in on that to), we decided to invest in another guitar!!!! Now we can play together, 2 at a time! So half the arguing!!! I was cracking Taylor up trying to get her to pose for me. And I caught Cam's look of concentration, always with that tongue sticking out!

Yes Jack smiles! I know this is a question on some people's minds as every pic I seem to have of Jack he is pretty much pouting. Well when the camera comes out, Jack makes the normal, I am not interested in having my picture taken today face! But here he is! Smiling! He was doing something he shouldn't so he was all happy lol!

What am I up to???
Well after being told by friends and family how much they love my cute little handmade frames, I decided to try to sell some, besides I do like making them!
So I opened an etsy shop... http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5633335 They are all on there, but I will update here as well when I get some done! Also they can be custom ordered!

Mommy brag time!!!!

My little Taylor, 14 in less then a month, and in the 8th grade, and smart as a whip!!! I just got her MEAP scores, and they would have any proud mommy beaming! She placed advanced in all but 1 category, and in that 1 category, she was 1 point away from advanced! 1 POINT!
She is in advanced math, and on her last report card? All A's!!! Such a smart girl! I'm so proud of my Tay!
And can I just add that she is also quick whitted and as pretty as can be? (Don't worry, she never looks at my blog so she won't be embarrassed! hehe)

I could make this post about all the puking and runs that our family is dealing with here, but instead I'm going to post Jack's hair cut update!

I was liking how Jack's hair was laying flat being a bit longer, so I held out on a haircut, then all of the sudden he started looking scruffy, there was no more waiting! That hair of his has a mind of its own! So here are some before and after pics...










Funny little Jack story... We are at the haircut place and there are 3 people in front of us. Jack is not a patient boy. He was running around, getting into the shampoos and things, screaming when you tried to get him away from things. Jamie says, maybe we should just get his haircut another day. I'm determined, he has been good for both of his haircuts so far. I know the girls there aren't looking forward to him, he is acting crazy! But sure enough, he gets in that chair and sits there, doesn't move! He was just wanting it to be his turn!!!
Oh and the funny eye closed pictures? That is what Jack does when I tell him to smile and show him a big smile by me, I swear I don't close my eyes hehe!

Well after 6 looooong months, and they were looong... IT IS DONE!!!

Can I just say how much I LOVE my new and improved bathroom make over? The master bath was so bad that plaster had turned to powder behind the tile, and tiles were falling off the walls left and right. It was just nasty, dirty gross! We were worried about structural damage, so down came the old, in went the new!
Jamie did all the work himself, there were very small amounts of help from me when I could, but for the most part it was Jamie. So without further ado, here it is... my new and improved master bath!
