Happy Birthday Timmy

Happy 26th Birthday to my wonderful Husband!!

Seems hard to believe that we started dating when he was just 20 years old, alot has changed since then but all for the better!!! I have loved celebrating 6 birthdays with you with so many more to come!!!!!!!!!!

Just because.....

Seems like I haven't been blogging much and I feel like I have so much to say but then again I don't. Now does that really make much sense? Not really, but that's how I am sometimes!! Here in a few weeks my blog is going to have a new look and I can't wait, I am ready!!! Just because today I am going to do bullets..because I can.

-- My hair is in desperate need of some love right now... majorly. I have an appointment Thursday morning at 9:00. thanks goodness!!

--Thursday is the Hub's 26th Birthday, did we start dating when he was 20? WOW. Not sure what I am going to do for his actual birthday just yet. I ordered him a few presents and they came early and he found them, of course. We never have surprises.

-- Friday we are going to stay the night with my sister Tisha and BIL Matt in NKY with the family to celebrate Timmy's Birthday. We have reservations Friday night at Boi Na Braza, it is a Brazilian steakhouse.. delicious, amazing. Then Saturday we are going to Bass Pro Shop. This is what Timmy wanted to do for his birthday, his wish is granted.

-- I have been thinking that my sweet precious little Brody is never going to want to potty train, he is just not interested. I have tried several times and he just doesn't want to. The past few weeks he has been obsessed with his speedos (undies) and he always wants to wear them swimming instead of trunks. So the last 2 days he has decided he wants to be a big and wear his undies. We have yet to make it in the potty but the floor numerous times but if he wants to wear them, eventually he will go to the potty, maybe.

-- I love summer, love it. I love the heat and the pool.. but I hateto say it but I think I am ready for some cooler weather, not cold but just a bit cooler. I know once it cooler I will be wishing it were warmer, I'm a woman.

-- Brody is waking from a nap and Timmy will be home from work soon so I better get off of here and do my duties :)

Paige's Pastime Review

I know there are so many of us that just love ETSY, and we love finding out about new shops and the great item's they have to offer. Today I am featuring an adorable shop called Paige's Pastime. This shop has so many cute personalized items from vinyl wall clings, personalized tumbler's, personalized pail's and so much more! Head on over to Paige's Pastime and check it out, you will love it!!!

I am doing a review of an item I received and I absolutely love it!! I was sent a Carrier/Tray for whatever I like. I have used it for veggies , fruit, and chips and dip and it is great! Not only is it so cute with the polka dots and my monogram and the adorable leopard ribbon, but it is really handy to have! I was so pleased with this adorable item!

I asked the owner to tell me more about her shop and how she got started and this is what she said.... I guess the jist of it would be that I have always had a "thing" for personalized items, whether it was a name, initial, or 3-letter initial. When I was young, I used to feel so special when I had something with my name or initial on it. Now that our children have left home and completed college (oh, and by the way...they are 23 ,24 and 26!), I wanted to do something I've wanted to for a long long time...start my own business! I've been doing personalized items for a long time, but didn't really put all my efforts into it until my children "left the nest"....I felt like the most important thing I could do for my children while they were home was to BE THERE FOR THEM when they needed me, not have my head buried in an embroidery machine or in a computer designing and creating. Our daughter's room quickly became my "studio"...and I guess, as they say, "the rest is history". I wake up every morning excited to get started on new projects and order and often times, my husband has to MAKE me come to bed at a decent hour! Of course, the holidays and special occasions are killers at times....once people find out what I do, they turn all of their gift buying over to purchasing my items. Someone once told me that I had a "passion for personalization"....and I told them "Yes, I do"...because my husband told me when I first started this business "do what you like and like what you do".....and I absolutely LOVE making things for people that will be come a one of a kind for them!


Here are some other things that are offered at Paige's Pastime. Head on over and check it out!!!!!

Fishing, Swimming,& A Haircut

We have been busy this week doing all sorts of fun things, so busy that I haven't even had my camera out. So these pictures are from my Iphone, thank goodness for technology!

Brody loves getting haircut's, he seriously would get one everyday.

 Brody is obsessed is fishing. He goes to bed talking about it, and wakes up first thing in the morning wanting to fish. We go about 3-4 times a day. Thank goodness we have a pond in the backyard.

Swimming with Uncle Titus

 Hanging out, throwing rocks & fishing, of course.

My Best Friend's Wedding

On June 11th, 2011 my Best Friend and 1st Cousin Lacey married her high school sweetheart, Travis. I have so many pictures that I could add from the rehearsal and from the wedding day but it would just take too long. I went through and picked out some pictures that I loved and though captured the day. Lacey and Travis have been together for 7 years, and they were engaged for a little over a year. They got married on Lacey's parents farm in an outdoor ceremony and reception. I was her matron of honor and Brody was one of her ring bearers. The weather was perfect and so was the wedding, perfect wedding for a perfect couple!

Our 4th of July Weekend!

I know I am a few days late on posting about our 4th of July weekend, but better late than never, right? On Saturday evening we went down to my cousin Lacey & Travis' (Newlywed's-which I have been working on a wedding post, and just realized I never finished it) for a cookout and to watch the fireworks. The girls sat and chatted while the guys played corn hole, Brody joined in and loved it.

 On Sunday we went to church and then over to Timmy's dads for a family cookout and fireworks, which I don't have any pictures from but we had a great time. On Monday we just had a lazy day and caught up on rest and then that evening we went over to my Aunt Jenny & Uncle Dale's for a 4th of July cookout and a going away party for my cousin Kyle and his wife Beth, they both got accepted to the University of Birmingham, AL.

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend!!!! I have some exciting news coming up in the next few weeks, so be looking for it!!! Hope everyone is having a great week!!!
