Saturday's Top Five Laughs

I am linking up with The Mommy Chronicles for Saturday's Top Five Laughs!  Here are my top 5 laughs from the week!

1. Sunday night at dinner, Jillian wasn't eating very well so I told her to sit down and eat.  She said "Mommy don't talk to me that way", and I told her I was the mommy, and I was aloud to talk to her that way.  She said "Well I be the mommy and you be Jillian"!  A little to smart for a 3 year old!!

2. We pulled in the driveway one afternoon and Red our Lab. had Jillian's sand castle bucket in his mouth and she said "Oh maybe he wants to play in the sand with me".  So sweet!

3. Hershey our cat was being very pester some one morning while I was trying to get Jillian dressed so I pushed him away and Jillian said "Mommy be nice to my kitty"  Most of the time our roles are reversed and I have to tell her to leave the kitty alone!

4. Speaking of Hershey, our long haired cat, he was beside Wyatt when I was trying to take pictures, and Wyatt opened his mouth as wide as he could and tasted Hershey's hair.  Then made a face.  Not once, not twice but three times.  I finally had to move the cat, yet again!

5. And FINALLY, he said it, Wyatt said Ma Ma!!!  Yay!!  Except he doesn't say it over and over like Da Da, he hollers it when he wants something or I'm not in the room!  BUT, at least he's finally saying it!


This is a blog hop, so if you have funny things each week you would like to share, come on and link up here!!

Noah is One!

Today my adorable little nephew, Noah, turns 1 year old!! I remember being in the dilvery room, waiting anxiously to meet him. As soon as he came out I cried out of pure joy, watching my little sister give birth, absolutely something I'll never forget! The nurse wrapped him up and laid him on my sister's chest, me still crying and she looks up and says "is someone gonna put this on Facebook!". So of course we did!


From this one year ago.....


To this today, at a birthday lunch at Hooters with his daddy!  Happy, Happy Birthday Noah!!

Wyatt turned 8 months old today.  A post to come next week on him.  But for now a look at the past few months, and how much he's grown!


Can you believe how fast these boys are growing?  I know one thing, I'm enjoying every single minute!

Tiny Dancer

Jillian told me that when she grows up she wants to be a ballerina.  I found 2 dance costumes at our local consignment store over the weekend and she's in love.  In love with the dream of being a ballerina.


Not sure about this pose, but how cute is that dress?!?


Now she's got the pose right!


And believe it or not, this leotard/costume is her favorite!


Though you can't tell it on her face, she adores these costumes, and loves to dance.  I guess a certain mommy needs to look into dance classes, huh!

New Year.....New Goals!

Yes, instead of resolutions I am setting goals.  Besides who ever keeps their resolutions anyway?  If you do that's great, me not so much!  I'm setting goals so that I feel like I'm not on a time crunch to get one finished.  And goals can be anything from losing weight and being healthier to trying to be on time more.  I feel like if I can set goals, just maybe I'll meet one of them, before the next New Year!!

So here goes.  My first goal is to lose weight.  Original right?!?  Not only do I want to loose my baby weight, I want to be healthier again, be fit!  The thing is, I know I can do this.  I have done this, twice before.  It's just a matter of getting my mind set.  Finding my will power.  To do this I MUST exercise!  And eat right too!  No more fast food, and more home cooked meals.  I have also "scheduled" my exercise time, 3 nights a week.  If I don't I will always use the excuse that I don't have the time, so now I will make time!  I guess that's really 3 goals.

What else.....I want to try and be better about being on time.  I hate being late, but we seem to be all the time.  I'm not really sure how to improve this, but I'm going to try.

I want to get together with my girl friends more.  Becoming a mommy has consumed me and I love that, BUT, I realize that I need a little me time every once in a while.  My friends and I have had one girls night and I'm ready for the next one!

Get in bed earlier!!  This one may be a little harder.  Only because I have to pump at 10-10:30pm, since Wyatt goes to bed at 8pm and sleeps until 6-6:30am.  But I tend to do my blogging at night before, during and after I pump, contributing to me staying up late.

Get crafty again.  When Jillian was a baby, I started making hair bows.  Since having Wyatt, I haven't made very many.  I want to get back into the craft show scene and add a few new things to my display.  Jo-Jo and I have played with making burp clothes, paci clips and even baby hats!  Will see!

De-Clutter!!  Is that even a word?  Well it is now.  With 2 kids, we have a lot of stuff!!  Not to mention, I have a lot of stuff.  Therefore our house is full!  And since a bigger house is not ideal right now, I want to try and declutter.


Mainly for me, but here they are all together:
1. Lose weight, (baby weight)
2. Exercise
3. Cook more
4. Be on time
5. Me time w/girl friends
6. Get in bed earlier
7.Get crafty again
8. Declutter


Do you have New Years Resolutions, or do you set goals?  Can you keep them?  Let me know!  What are yours?
