happy valentines day!!

happy valentines day!! :) the holidays are my favorite. and no matter what i promise to ry how i wont spend way too much money and time on presents for the kids- i somehow always break those promises. the babes and i had so much fun making their valentines. { thank you pinterest }

this year kennedy really wanted a paul frank blanket. luckily target had just the one. and jagger is too young to care what he gets so the dollar aisle is my favorite. cars and sippy cups and the kid is happy for days.

and the husband came home with roses and a blank card- i asked him why he didn't write a love laced poem for me and sign it, and his respons- 'why would i write in it when you already know it's from me?' he's so romantic.



he's the granola-ish type so i got him smart water ;) jagger saw it in the aisle and yelled DADDY!!

dont be fooled- the cupcakes are totally mine.

to help make up for the lack of present from him ;)

kidding.

happy valentines day everyone!!

i am so excited to show you all-

the best and i decided to start a blog. yes we're that cheesy. but we needed somewhere to write down all of our blabbings. and of course her crafty side :) so grab the button- and enjoy

time for a change

i saw ry's sister the other day and her hair was so cute!! she had the cutest bangs. i decided i needed a change. i went home, you tubed how to cut your own bangs, and chopped away. i am already sick of them- but they'll be fine until they grow out :)

a little change is always a good thing.

i know i wouldn't ever cut it shorter or even go way darker so-

whaaa laaaaa

here's to a good week

i had another epiphany.

last time i did- we packed up our little house, rented it out, and moved back to my parents :)

everything has been so good and we've been more than blessed to

have this opportunity to be able to save money to get into our almost dream home.

2 days ago i told the hubs i think we should just sell the townhouse {we're not making enough money off of it to keep it as a rental }instead of keeping it and having to deal with tenants and being landlords.

i'm crossing my fingers that the current tenants will let us break their lease early

and we can put that baby on the market and get it

sold.

i don't even care if we dont profit off of it at all.

all i'm hoping is that we break even.

if all goes as planned, we'll be able to have an FHA loan instead of conventional

have to only put 3.5% down instead of 5%

and not have $30 something thousand in reserves.

sounds like a much better plan.

there is a very small part of me that is so emotionally attatched to that townhouse though :(

so- here is to a week of GOOD news and happy thoughts.

happy monday everyone :)

girls night

everyone needs a good girls night once in a while. the best and i went to a friends and had such a blast. it was so good to see everyone and catch up :) tiff is such a doll and i can't wait to see her again when jagger

gets his mullet cut off ;)

i'm sore from trying to show everyone how i can't even do 1 push up.

nice.

the classic-

driving in the car picture.
i really am one lucky girl to have such great friends in my life
xo 

my driving home conversation

Kennedy- 'ma, do you like tuna sandwiches?'

Me- no not really. why?

'because one of my friends at school likes them, and me? eh- I'm not the biggest fan of them.

Really? Why do I feel like she skipped being a kid.

And then driving home from cheer I told her I just need two minutes of silence.

She lasted 30 seconds

kennedy rian

.and while i'm on the subject- how adorable is kennedy?

she went on a trip to st. george with one of her best friends for 4 whole days. i missed her like crazy!! 

 and when she came back i got her a new outfit :)

she instantly wanted a photo shoot.

man. where would i be without this little girl

perspective

kennedy had mini cheer tonight. my wonderful mom took her and the babies to go watch her practice. i got off of work late and got there around 7:30. i walked in sat next to my mom with the chick-fil-a to keep the babies entertained and looked around for kennedy. instantly the cutest little girl stood out to me- i noticed she had a prosthetic leg. and i smiled- it humbled me. then i noticed her arms were short and she couldn't reach far enough to even touch her face. and there she was dancing and cheering like all of the other girls. she was so happy to be there and to be dancing. i looked at my mom and started crying. sobbing crying. it makes my heart so sad even now to think of the difficulties she is going to face. it's not fair for a darling little girl to have to go through that. i wanted to take that hurt away from her. kids are so mean. i noticed girls staring- but it didn't phase her.  it hurts my heart to know what she is going to face in her life. and then my kennedy, looks at her and smiles and at the end gives her a high five. after cheer, i thanked kennedy for being so friendly and nice to that sweet girl. she looked at me and said- 'ya mom :) '  i have been so immensly blessed to have such amazing babies. i couldn't be more proud of my little girl. she is going to do amazing things

just dance

how ridiculous do we look? but man. if you ever need a good work out- just dance

is the way to go! i literally can't get through one full song.
i love my sister for telling me i look really good when i dance

my first celebrity

the best and i saw the first famous {well kind of famous} person i've ever seen in real life. bentley from the bachelor! i have never gotten into any of the bachelor or bachelorettes so i was excited when she said it was him! but- then she told me he was a loser and not go ask for a picture with him. this is the best we got. we're such creepers

that's him in the veeeeery back in red. i need to really meet someone that's actually famous
