Whatta Daddy !!!!

Now this is a good Daddy... Aydann drug out her tote of dress up clothes, and poor Justin ended up being the one all dressed. Notice she gave him two purses, a baby a princess wand, and a head scarf. I had to bribe him to take these pictures (I have more), and he cursed me the whole time. :) I can't wait to scrap them.. ha.. :) His dress was a bit small so it kinda became a shawl. Don't you love the old lady print. So gross.. :) Aydann sat next to her daddy and read ABC books to him for almost an hour. To bad in this pic you can't see the ugly white gma high heals she had put on him. (He is gonna kill me if he see's this.. :) )

This weekend...

This weekend started with Justin going to work, (blah) I downloaded some new songs to my Itunes... Sorry to say I am really digging some of the new PussyCat Dolls stuff and I have noticed I have a fair amount of Justin Timberlake.
All that Itunes music has come in handy for going to the gym. I went by myself on Sat a.m. Generally I go with someone else, but I don't want to socilize or visit. I put my earbuds in and rock out while I try to die from lack of oxygen. The kids like the daycare, Jax cried the first couple of times.But he is just fine now, since there is a pretty young brunette that is there sometimes. :) Such a womanizer.

Of course any day wouldn't be functional or even normal for that matter if I didn't have my coffee. We got smart and just started buying the big container from Costco.

Of course since we have a billion projects going on it wouldn't be normal with out a trip to the old home depot. Justin and I discussed putting bead board and a chair rail in the kitchen so off we went to choose and price. I'm excited and since this is one of the smaller projects I am hoping that he will get it done soon. I'm thinking next four days off. :) We are doing the first egress window the weekend of March 21 and then our roof begin's the following weekend. Amen. I am so excited for the final outcome. It will certainly seem like a whole new house.

Yesterday while Jax was sleeping and Justin was at work Aydann and I went outside, she trucked around the yard and driveway in her Barbie Jeep while I cleaned out some plants from the flower beds that I don't care to keep. The woman that lived her before must have LOVED bulbs. There are hundreds of them all over the place. Some will stay, some will be moved. I have no idea where to start. Of course it won't happen till they are done with the siding and roof. What would even be the point.

Last night while Justin watched T.V and the kids were in bed I spent some time in my scrapbook room, I got some new flowers at Micheals this week. They were in the bridal section, I can't stop using them. They came in pails of different colors. Next trip to Micheal's I will get another pail. They were cheap and are pretty awesome.
These pic's are OLD, my very first Mother's Day when Aydann was only 12 weeks old. And my paper is from that Costco pack everyone got for real cheap.

Today ended with a visit from some cute new guy. :) This picture is from yesterday when he was here. This is Mr. Brayden Coy... he is so darling. Aydann thought he was 'super cute' and Jax was mesmorized by him. Courious to know who he was and why his mommy was being all snuggley with him. Next to Jax, Brady seems tiny, and Jax seems so big. But when Aydann was holding him you could see his true size. So weird. :) I get to watch him a bit after his mommy goes back to work when gma is on her rotating shift. :) Justin is thankful, he thinks that will kill the instant buzz I got to have another baby. Uh Oh!!!!!!!! (not going to happen, just the mommy hormones)

Speaking of Jax, he took a several steps the other night without holding on to anyone or thing. He thought no one was watching him, and bam sat down as soon as his dad caught him. :) He has been walking more today without help. So I imagine it just being a few short weeks before he is really trucking it around here. Lord Help Me! And I now know what they mean when it's referred to as being eatten out of house and home. Holy Cow... Last night for dinner he ate 7 turkey sticks (the gerber ones) 4 oz of carrots with rice cereal, a 1/2 can of mand. oranges, some gold fish crackers (whole grain of course) and then finished it up with some cow's milk. But then procedded to search under his high chair for 'left overs' And about an hour later he was very eagger to nurse. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I thought I had a few years before this happened.

My Room, A Party, New Baby!!!!

This is my lil space, actually it isn't to horribly small. I have a room off of the family room in the basement. It's still very much so unfinished, I am painting the third brown wall today the fourth wall won't be done until next month after the new egress window goes in. And then that wall is PINK!!!! I know, awesome huh. :) I have to decide if I want carpet or hardwood in here, and I can not make up my mind. If I choose carpet it wont be done till this summer when the family room get's carpet. I am thinking mess wise that hardwood would be smart. I have another table in my room in case I have anyone cropping with me, right now it's piled with other stuff and unfinished projects. Everything has it's place and it makes for easy scrapbooking. And the best part is that my husband doesn't complain about the mess. He just shuts the door but that however leads to the fact that he can see my twilight poster on the door.. Ha, :) (ya, I'm that lame.)

Aydann's Party Pic's..

Finally pic's from Aydann's birthday party. She had alot of kids show up and I think everyone including the parents had fun. (I know I did. :) ) Thank you to all my friends and family who came to help us celebrate Aydann's birthday. She loved it. And yes there were over 200 pics taken at the party. It took me forever to upload just the 25 to this slide show... I'm sure I missed some of my favorites.

Newest Cousin!!!!

Welcome to the newest little cousin.. Brayden Rene Brink-Coy was born on the 18th a bit after midnight... This 'tiny' guy weighed in at 9lbs 8 oz and was almost 22 inches long. (His Papa Brink is a very tall guy, maybe he is taking after him ) Brady's mama Jenn was a super trooper she labored for well over 12 hours and (bless her heart) she pushed for 3.5 hours. Brady truely could have had a lead role in the movie "ConeHeads" :) Mommy, baby and daddy Brandon are doing good, but I did just hear through the gravevine that Lil Man Brady has his days and nights mixed up!

Happy Birthday Aydann!!!!

Happy Birthday lil girl of mine. Today your turn three! Amazing you are, I love you unconditionaly. At only three years old, you are taking dance class, you are potty trained, you can count to 20 in english and 10 in spanish, you know your ABC's and your letters, you can write the letter's A, O, T, H and sometimes an L, you are a big sister and a wonderful cousin, you love to dress up, pretend to drive and fly, you know where mommy keeps the gum in her purse, you sing, and want to be a ballerina, you are obsessed with TinkerBell and Princesses, you love to scrapbook and color with mommy, create crafts out of felt and buttons, just love glue and paper, and to take pictures, you think it's funny to shake your bum when you dance, and insisit on chapstick and lip gloss (you know the difference), you are willing to snuggle and hug good bye, you know not to talk to strangers, but to say Hi when it's said to you. You sometimes freak out over little things, and not always listen to your dad and I, sometimes talk back, get excited in the store and become impossible to control, not always eat your vegetables, often beg for a drink of my coffee, want to call your meema just because and then only say Hi Meema, you are the only brown eyed person in our family and your hair is the most beautiful red, (someday I hope for freckles), this list could go on forever and every bit of it we love and wouldn't change. Happy 3rd Birthday Jelly Bean!!!!
Love Mommy and Daddy

(*Today is my lil girl's third birthday. I have so much I should be putting in this post but I have no energy. Today was just not long enough. We had a fun day of shopping and playing with cousins and ended it with the usual strawberry shortcake. She has changed so much in just a few short years, this morning Justin dressed her in a pair of jeans that she was able wear just fine 4 days ago and they were high waters past her ankles and when we went shoe shopping she is up almost a whole size. She is growing to fast for me. This first picture of her is from her 8week pic's from her dedication and the bottom one are from her 3 month pic's we did at my first Mother's Day. I have some of the cutest pic's from today that I will get posted tomarrow*)

SuperBowl Bow Shoot

Last Saturday was the Superbowl Shoot, last year it was held in the Orchards on Burrell. This year it was Hells Gate State Park. Made sense, there is quiet a few people that participate. Of course we went with the Aiken's. Wouldn't be as much fun with out them. But my sister and soon to be BIL tagged along on the second half. They both have recently accuired bow's and wanted a feel for a shoot like this.



I shot like garbage this year, I was thinking about all the drama involving my grandma and her stroke. But I still had fun.

Yes this last picture is blurry. I was laughing pretty good at these dorks. One small comment about humping on the jackellope and the packs came off. Why am I not suprised. It was pretty funny. I have a couple of Ryan that are way more 'involved' with that bear and terribly inappropriate. So Hilarious...

First CHA order.. FANCY PANTS!!!

The first CHA order has arrived at the store. The motherload of all... 10 or 11 boxes full of amazing Fancy Pants embellishments, chipboard, ribbon, buttons, albums, crochet flowers, stick pins, stamps, rub ons, hmmm I may be forgetting something. It is all so awesome, when I saw it my brain was on instant "I can use this for.." mode. I love it ALL... and it's not just one season or holiday. It's ALL there.

For you I have...

Someone awesome sent this to me. I love it. I dedicate it to Andrew and Vicki.... Wonder if they would like me to make them photo copies.........
