This Post Will Be Random...

The hubster is a basketball coach.  This time of year he is super busy and going, going, going all the time. 

Thankfully it is a job that we can tag along. 

I make all the home games and try to get to as many of the away games as I can.  However- he really likes for us to ride the bus to save on gas money, but I tell myself that it's also because he loves us so much that he MUST have us with him. 

The kiddos also get a huge kick out of riding on the big, yellow bus to the games with the the basketball boys and dad, so it's a win-win all around.

However, this year this girl's preggo and there probably won't be too many school bus rides for me.

Thankfully they broadcast his games on the local radio station.  He's practically a Star.

I mean he is a Star to me...but I'm talking a famous Star.  Crazy.

We went to his home game lastnight.  He's so handsome all dressed up out there coaching...



He's the blurry guy in the black pants and redish shirt (apparently my phone only takes blurry shots in a gym from far away- who knew).



They won so by the end he was just chillin'...


Little Miss had a big time eating all the food she could find hidden in her daddy's office and running around like a wild hullagun (sp?).  She looks so innocent though doesn't she?...


She found the cheerleaders floor mats all rolled up and just couldn't help herself.  It was like a big tunnel just waiting for her to explore...


My mother-in-law's Birthday was this week.  They don't live too close so we had to send her some love in the form of a really fun picture with birthday drawings, and we also made a Birthday video to send to her over facebook...

WE LOVE YOU NANA!  We hope your day was WONDERFUL!!!

The Smelly Beast is driving me crazy right now with all of her whining! 

I'll take you for a walk in a minute you long eared monster!

Don't look at me like that...

She cheats by looking at me with those sad eyes.

Little Miss Sassy had a friend over the other day.  They had a big time playing dolls and animals and all that girly stuff she can never seem to talk her brother into playing with her.  We did however have to take a break in the fun to take her to the doctor for a physical for school. 

She had to have a flu shot while we were there.

Her friend, the 2 nurses it took to hold her down and give her the shot, Little Miss, and myself are all probably scarred for life it was such a tramatic experience.

I had no idea she was so strong and violent.

It was wild.

I took this before she knew she was getting the dreaded S-H-O-T.

All smiles.

Not so much after the shot.

She survived though, and what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger- right?

I'm taking the kids and going to visit my sister.  I can't wait.  She has 4 kiddos and it is always wild and full of crazy, fun times.

She's the best sister.

I'm Thankful for her.

What are you Thankful for?

Little Man's Soccer...

Little Man had his last soccer game this past weekend.  He did excellent!  He plays so hard and has really improved so much from the start of the year.  When the games are over he always looks so cute with his red, little face.

He really is the man- the Little Man anyway!

His team (most of them)...



Showin' off his crazy skillz...








I just got a new phone that I took all of these pictures with.  It's an android?.  Whatever that means.  HCG something or other, but I LOVE it!!!

It takes great pictures and I've never had a smart phone before, so I am having quite the fun time figuring out all the bells and whistles!  In between games (or maybe when Little Man was out taking a break) I took a few random photos just to play...


Little Miss had a big time on the playground with some of her friends.  She loves to dig in rocks, sand, dirt, it doesn't matter- she just loves to dig and get dirty!  She was all about all the pretty pink rocks she was finding.

She actually loves digging and playing in rocks and stuff so much that the other day she game home from school with her pockets full of little rocks she'd taken off the school playground that she told me were special and she had to keep forever.  Guess where she wanted their forever home to be:  the kitchen counter.  NOT HAPPENING! 

 

They now reside in her little purse.  I keep waiting for the moment she spills them all over the place, but she's happy and they aren't on my counters so everyone wins I guess.

 

 

She's a mess, and you should have seen her after the games were over and it was time to go! She was so dirty! We had to take them both home and hose them down.

It was a good Saturday.

What did you do this weekend?

Random...

After the BIG Halloween Feast I was too tired to bring in all the chairs, blankets, and tables right away.  However, my procrastination paid off because I finally waited long enough that my sweet hubby and little munchkins helped me bring all the stuff in- Plus- they helped me rake leaves and sweep off the drive and porch (which were getting out of hand just so you know!).

We awarded Little Mr. and Miss Sassy with being thrown jumping into the leaves.  It was a pretty wild time had by all, and while jumping into the leaves was great fun they weren't quite as excited about all the crunchy leaves down their pants afterwards. 

We just can't have it all ya know?!

Did I mention that I love these faces?...



Little Miss started pre-school yesterday.  She'll be going 3 days a week.  She was so worried that she wouldn't know anyone and that no one would want to be her friend :(  . 

I assured her that she was totally awesome and that people would have to be crazy not to want to be her friends!

So what a relief when I picked her up and she said, "I made like hundreds of friends!  I love school, and I want to go every day!"

She's a rock star!

I'm so ready for Thanksgiving!

I have so many things to be thankful for!

My Savior- who died on the Christ for my sins so that I can meet him in heaven someday
The Hubby
The Kiddos
The sweet baby in my belly
The Health of me and my family
Awesome parents and in-laws
The list could go on and on!

While I'm really thankful for all the blessings in my life there's also this really hungry shallow excited place inside of me that is totally pumped about the hubster's grandmother's homemade macaroni and cheese, and all the pie I can fill up on. 

Is that sad? 

I mean I really enjoy visiting with all of our family while I'm eating those four different types of pie.  That counts for something right?  It's always really amazing pie and you should taste this macaroni!  It's worth the year long wait every time!!!

I've been working on making some jewelry.  I plan on blogging about it.  I'm also going to make a few aprons, re-do some furniture, and make a baby blanket for the baby.  When I get them done I'll show them to you and see what you think.

Have I mentioned that I'm 28 weeks along and we still haven't named the baby yet?  We can't seem to agree on any names.  The only things we do agree on concerning names is to talk about it later.  That's something I guess.

Have a good day!  I'm off to work at the school for a little while.  Bye!

Afternoon Play Date...

Yesterday Little Miss and I had so much fun!  A friend from high school and her sweet little girl drove over to spend the afternoon with us. 

We ate lunch at my favorite little breakfast/lunch spot, did a little shopping at some of the fun little shops here in town, and then headed over to the park.

While we were out shopping the sweet lady at one of the shops offered to put a glitter tattoo on the girls faces.  The Ruth-i-nator was so excited, she even got to pick her own glitter colors for the star tattoo- pink, blue, and purple.  It was beautiful!

She sat so still and was such a big girl!

Then they had these fun masks, so of course we had to try some of them on (check out her outfit- she's sporting quite the colorful mix of things, and of course no outfit is complete without every beaded necklace in one's jewelry box)...

 

They were soooooo cute together, and had the best time!

 

 

Oh!  I almost forgot- isn't Little Miss Sassy Pant's haircut the cutest!  I broke out the ole' scissors the other night and cut it in this cute, little bob, and then debated for the longest time on giving her bangs.  I finally just went for it, and I am so glad I did!  Isn't she the cutest thing ever!!!

 

 

Have a Happy, Warm, Wonderful, Fall Day!

Brain MeLt...

So this is totally disgusting, but my daughter, who is 4, is a booger eater. 

I know.  It's completely gross.

So anyhoo, the other day I told her that when you eat your boogers your brain turns to mush. 

I know what you're thinking:  "How Could she?!!"

Well- really it was easy.  She eats her boogers People, like she's never had a meal and it makes me cringe every single time I have to witness it.  I love her dearly with all my heart, but Boogers?  Really?  I mean come on.

So yes- I told her that her brain would soon be turning into mush and start running out of her ears with every little green monster that she munched on.

Her brother thought this was a swell little game to play on his sister so he added his 10 cents with the comment that her brain would turn to such mush that she wouldn't even be able to say her name anymore.  She'd only be able to say "ljkjd kjiujid  ljljdi lkjsiuoie." when she tried to say "My name is Little Miss Sassy Pants,"  (her real name was used in the real story, but you understand).

So a couple of days after this conversation I caught her eating her boogies again and I told her that I thought I saw something coming out of her ears and that it was probably her brain since I'd seen her eating her boogers.  She looked at me and laughed and said "yeah right mama!" and then walked around the corner.  Once around the corner she stopped and I could hear her saying "My Name is Little Miss Sassy Pants."

I guess she was just double checking that everything was still okay and that those boogs hadn't caused too much damage.  It was too funny!


Also, I curious about what you think about Miley Cyrus' new do? 

I think I like it.  And let's be honest:  She's famous and if she wants long, brown, flowing locks by next Thursday all she has to do is tell someone and she'll look like her old self in no time with extentions and color.  But I say- good choice on the blond, short, bold look- it suits her features and for sure got her the attention that she was probably going for.  I dig it.

Did I mention that I like the dress too?  Although it is a little too low cut-  It works with the hair.

What do you think?

Birthday Wishes for a Wonderful Little Girl...

This sweet and sassy little mess turns 2 today.

She's energetic and smart.

Full of attitude with her favorite thing to say being- "NO!" OR "MINE!"

Her smile warms the heart.

Her hugs and kisses can make the worst of days turn into the best.

She loves to cuddle, play with her babies, and smack her brother around if he gets out of line.

She goes to bed in a big girl bed, but always ends up in bed with her mama and daddy.

In two years she has managed to make her family super blessed!

Thank you sweet little girl! We love you- and hope you have a wonderful 2nd Birthday!

Happy Birthday!!!

Mama's Little Girl...

This is the face of one sweet little person...

She loves to get into the kitchen cabinets and pull out this red
lunch box and lug it around like an over sized purse...

And she's addicted to tv like a little junkie! I don't let the kids watch much but on the rare occasion that I do turn it on she runs to the couch or floor in front of it like a cheetah on speed yelling "TV! TV! TV!" This is her in her zombie tv state...

She ignored me completely!

Happy Fall Everybody!!!

Happy Fall!
