Ashleigh

About 2 weeks ago she informed me she really likes boots! This was after going through her shoes and her not wanting to claim a pair saying she hated boots. Go figure. So Jake and I were at Goodwill the yesterday and we found these boots. I paid $4.19 for them and then by the time I got to the car had buyers remorse. They are kind of a rust color and I thought she probably will hate them. Fast forward 4 hours. Ash walks in the door from school "Who's boots are those, are they for me? Yes I love boots:)" So she likes them! This morning she comes downstairs and she is wearing bright pink sweat capri pants and a pink and gray sparkly shirt and she goes and puts on her rust colored furry boots. Ummm, yeah you might want to wear those with jeans, was my suggestion. Well that was about the end of the world because she does NOT like jeans. So we quickly dug through her drawers to find something halfway matching and this is what we ended up with. She does however look like she's 25. Which makes me sad. But I guess since I look 50 it should be okay:)

I wish I looked young...

Today we went to the center grove orchard. We were trying to pay to get in and Andy pulled out his wallet. Lady:Oh you're the dad. No your not, you look soooo young. And it continued on and on. Finally I was like, really lady do I look young too? Cause he is actually like three years older than me. She didn't have much of a response and we are probably banned forever, but really, he doesn't look that young.
I'm just a slight bit bitter:) Good thing I just started a peacemaking study, I might need it!

I may be coming back...

In as little as two weeks i may be back to the blog world. I will no longer be working nights. Which means there is potential for me to sleep for more than 4 hours a day:) I'm just a tiny bit excited!!!! So I may be back with some very exciting stuff. I know all two of you are on the end of your seats eager with anticipation:)

Can I tell you how much I LOVE Goodwill!!!!!!!

Today I ran into Goodwill to find khakis for work. Of course I have to do a quick scan of all the racks. I found these jeans...

I've been wanting a pair of skinny jeans to wear with my super cool rainboots. Yes I am 5:)

So to make myself feel even better about my $3.89 purchase (the lady said they felt like pants) I came home and googled the brand/style/fit they are 7 for all mankind and if you want to get a pair just.like.me (cause I'm that cool) you can get it here for....wait for it.......$169.00.

Two days ago I got these jeans...

They came in Long length too. They were $5.89. Which just makes me smile:) I love long jeans, and I love cute heels to wear with them!!! So if you want to buy these jeans(you know so we can match!!) You can buy them here for.....$69.50. You know how Gap even has the date it was manufactured on the label?! It was Hol'09. Yeah! Like not even a year old!

I'm sort of wondering who has enough money to go buy jeans and then get rid of them in such a short period. Then I decided I didn't care 'cause I love them!

I know that it looks like a size zero model in the pictures, but I assure you it's not:) It's me of course! I just look better in photos than in person!

I also got Jake one of those kids cameras. They're made by fisher-price and are suppose to be indestructable (I'll let you know). It was $2.99. I of course had to google that to:) $54.88. I found thee exact model and everything. It is blue camo. It was made just for Wal Mart. So I'm feeling super cool and like the best bargin hunter ever! And it is still a bargin even if you didn't need it right?!

Ashleigh is 8!!!

Ash turned 8 on Saturday. This is the "cake" she wanted. She is my creature lover, and clearly it doesn't matter how scary the creature:) I think it turned out okay, though I don't think I'll be featured on Cake Boss anytime soon!

I just can't believe where all the time has gone. Ashleigh, you are the sweetest, kindest sister, daughter, granddaughter and friend. You are also a fantastic helper all the time. We love you soo much! Happy Birthday!

Because I got really lucky am a fantastic photographer and am really good with animals, I was able to get this shot! Isn't she soo cute you just want one:) Well since you asked I would be willing to part with her:) She chews EVERYTHING insight is really well trained, costs you $120 in two days because she is houdini and magically gets off her lead, never runs away, EVER! She is potty trained and is the cutest thing ever, when she's sleeping. The best part is she's FREE to a good home, just don't ask Jake!!! Please don't you all respond at once!

I've never been so happy to have extra laundry...

except when the extra laundry replaces me changing diapers!

My baby is potty trained! I can hardly believe it. He has done awesome and only had two accidents.

Who doesn't like CARS! Jake is soo proud of his "unies" as he calls them he is always happy to show them off. This may not be cute here in a couple weeks when  he decides to show them off during Sunday school:)
