Life, with art

The Boy had his first music class today, which was a great success. He had a great time, even though he did not want to dance by himself. He also has an obsession with the fish tank at the studio. I am excited for next week already. If you would like some info for classes in your area, here is the link: www.kindermusik.com

Tonight is our YM group. We are updating some scrapbooks from 1944-present. I love to look at the old photos and newspaper articles. It is so interesting what used to make it to the Society pages of the local newspaper. There are even some pictures of yours truly circa. 1980 or so, looking prim and proper in a blue dress with lovely white knee-high socks. I was all the rage in fashion.

I am bummed that I missed American Idol last night. If any one has some clips that I should check out, let me know!

Life, with shopping!

Today The Boy and I are having Miss C over for playtime(and naptime)before Mama C and myself go shopping. We even get to go shopping for fun stuff, like scrapbooking materials and photo albums(and cat food).



We are doing this fun shopping for our Young Mothers meeting this week. We have lots of pictures from the past 60 years that need to be fixed in nice new albums and scrapbooks. The Young Mothers group has a long history and we want to preserve it for years to come.

I had a Pampered Chef Cook and Book meeting last night that was a good time. I have not been doing as well as I would like at the buisness and hope to get it "kickstarted" this year. Ther are so many great products and the new Spring ones are awesome, I can't wait to show them. We even have some new shows and recipes to choose from.



Today also brings another episode of American Idol. I wonder what awesome clip I will be able to post tonight!

On tap for today: Almost all of the above, and driving the church van and Bible Study. I get tired just reading it!

Life, with God's love

We had a wonderful day today. We belong to such an awesome church. You can really feel God's presence there. I am so fortunate that my husband loves the Lord with all of his heart. It did not happen overnight, but he has dedicated himself to growing and learning. Every night, he reads the Bible to our son, who in turn holds the Bible to his chest and hugs it. It is so precious to me.

Life, with The Boy

How is it possible to love someone so much? The boy has been the light of my life for almost 2 years now. I cannot believe how quickly he is growing up.

Then:




Now:



Today we had a lovely lunch with my mom and stepdad. The Boy was energetic to say the least. It is awesome to watch him become his own little self.

I love you, Scooter Bug!

Life, with a stalker

This was the highlight of my American Idol experience last night. Scary-awesome!

Life, partying with a 5 year old and Simon Cowell

Today was my god-daughters birthday and we went to see Chuck E. Cheese.




We had a great time. This was The Boy's very first time there and it was such fun to watch him run around and play and watch the amazement of it all on his little face. We will definitely be going back.



Tonight starts my favorite time of year; American Idol time!


So far, it is pretty par for the course as the auditions go. They always show the crazies and some of the really good ones and it sucks me in for the season.

My favorite "bad" people of the night:
Alexis- The glitter girl- she really was not that bad, but WOW!
Milo Turk- No Sex Allowed- WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

My favorie "good" people:
The mom of the little girl with Rett's disease.
Kristy Lee Cook -Amazing Grace- Such a pretty voice, and she loves horses!

Here is to the new season!

Life, over the weekend

Good Monday morning!

We had a very eventful weekend here at the homestead. Saturday morning both John and myself worked out of the house while The Boy had some quality time with his Nana and Papa.

In the afternoon, John relaxed at home watching the Seahawks, who unfortunatley lost their game; while I attended a baby shower for one of the girls that attends our church.

Saturday evening we had our monthly Young Adults meeting here at the house. Our theme was "Spiritual Resolutions" for the new year. We had an awesome time getting to know some of the new members a little better and everyone went away blessed hearing all the testimonies.

Sunday around here brings church, which we love. God is such a real presence in our lives and we love to gather with other believers and worship him. We have both morning and evening service at our church, and I am part of the worship team.

We returned home after the evening service and put The Boy to bed. John and I watched "Scott Baio is 46 and pregnant" to top off the night.

I hope that everyone else had a great weekend!

Life, with Polly Pocket

There are a whole lot of these in my futute this evening. I am on my way to a 5 year-old's birthday sleepover. Wish me luck!

Life, in pictures

Life, with a new haircut

Now, I know that some of you are wondering if I finally cut The Boy's hair again. I mean John refers to him as "The Hippie" because of his flowing, blond locks.




I just have not had the chance, besides just look at them peeking out from under that hat...

The following is the haircut I am referring to:


Enough said?

Life, back in the saddle

So, obviously I have not posted. Life has its way of putting things on hold. Looking back, I probably should have continued to blog, but I was so frustrated and confused.

In my last post I was anxiously awaiting my first OB appointment. Well, at that appointment we found that there was no actual pregnancy, but what is called a blighted ovum. So basically I waited and waited for a miscarriage that never came, which in turn caused me to need a D&C.

I have healed well and look forward to getting pregnant again. I am waiting on God and his timing.

In the meantime, I have decided to blog just my life in general. There will be laughs, tears, screams, and sometimes a combo of all of the above! Put on your tinfoil hats, it is going to be a wild ride!
