sorry life has been crazy

SOOOOO I HAVE MISSED MY BLOG!!


Even though most days I don't have much to say its still so nice to write things out in the blog world.
I have missed it!

Well this past weekend we bought a matress.... we went all out we got a KING size bed. This meant we had to get a new bed spread and sheets so the works. We spent most of our weekend laying in beds to see whether or not we liked it. I never realized how tiring that would be. On Sunday we decided that we weren't going home till we had a mattress. I can't wait to get it on Saturday!!!!!


Then we decided we needed to buy a nice camera . SO off to Best Buy we went. We came home with this bad boy!

My cousin who has been out of town for a few months came back into town and it has been so nice seeing him. He is such a handsome, smart, loving and brave man! He has had his ups and downs but he is trying and he looks amazing!! We all got together at my mom and dads and had lunch and just hung out. He finally got to meet his newest nephew. 

Then we all headed to one of my favorite places and ate Mexican to get together before he headed back home. 

Of course I had to have chips and cheese

Harper and Baby Jaxson

I am so blessed to have such great family in my life!!

Snow day Thursday

Well today was an unexpected day off and even better because my love came home this morning.

This is what my day consisted of:

YES I am obsessed! Why didn't I watch this before?

I believe I am only in the 3rd session but its getting good.

Then I made this lovely mean for dinner 

Thank you pinterest!!

It is so easy and so delicious!

One package of cream cheese

I use two chicken breast the recipe calls for four

2 cans of cream of chicken soup

1 packet of zesty italian seasoning.

Throw it all in the crockpot together on low for four hours shred chicken and eat.

\\

and of course I had to take a nap today!

So to change the subject a bit.... a workout update...

I haven't been doing much as far as working out.... I know I suck. It has been a crazy emotional 2 weeks which I will be talking about later.

I promise to myself to try harder to eat healthier and at least do 30 minutes of cardio 4 times a week again. No more excuses.

I use to go right after work and just pushed myself to go even when I didn't want to. It then became routine to do this.... I want that again. I need that again. I have a lot to look forward to and I need to be the healthiest me I can be. 

Hope everyone was safe today if you had bad weather. 

I am going to enjoy and nice fire and my husband while we watch our DVR shows.

Friday I spent some me time at the store. I headed to the mall and target.


On Saturday we made pizza with his mom and sister . We played games and watched movies.

Plus I get to spend the whole day with my love and got my car back!

Valentine's Day Update

Yesterday was so much fun! It was one of the best days I have had in a long time.

FIRST part of the day we had  our class Valentine's Day party. The kids were so excited to bring their friends a Valentine and a treat.

For snack we made pink rice krispe  treats in the classroom and we all loved them..

We had so much fun cooking, decorating our treat bags and dancing! 

I was so lucky to have 40 sweet little Valentine's!

One of the books we read today in class was a book we read earlier in the week but they all requested it. This make me laugh because its a book from my childhood.

but they love it and can help me read it.

One of my presents I received is from one of the sweetest little boys I have.

He picked them out himself and wrote and drew a beautiful card.

Proud teacher right here!

Well after receiving these flowers and telling my husband I got flowers today and he had competition..... little did I know in about 10 minutes I received a beautiful bouquet from my sweet husband at work! I have never got flowers at work!

Great Job Nick!

Then I had two pretty cute ladies as my Valentine's that evening. My mom and I took my grandma to look for a new coat. JcPenny's has all coats for 24 dollars.

Then of course I had to try on some too!

Then we headed to Olga's for dinner.

Love these two ladies!

soup salad and snackers 

Couldn't have asked for a better day since my love was working!

Ash Wednesday

Oh fat Tuesday why did you make me eat so much!

Today starts lent and this will last until Easter! Usually we strive to give up something for these few weeks . It is usually something most days you cant live without. On Fridays we also give up meat.

Well today isn the day. Its Ash Wednesday and we give up meat today so I guess I will have PBJ for lunch.


This last few weeks (well always) I have a lot to be thankful for. I am lucky to have great family, great job, a roof over my head, food on my table and a wonderful husband. I feel especially thankful lately.


Usually I try to give up soda, junk food, sweets or fast food but I am not really sure what I will do this time. I usually try to give up something and then try to do something to better myself such as being more aware of birthdays, being not so cranky, sending something nice to someone but this year I have no ideas,


Maybe I should give up my electronic devices while enjoying time with my husband
Maybe I should give up eating out and always cook at home
Maybe I should give up procrastinating on my house
Maybe I should give up spending money
Maybe I should give up eating carbs
Maybe I should give up chips


WHAT DO YOU THINK?


Ok time for randomness:

I really want to take a Yoga class

I really want to eat meat today since I cant have any? WHY IS THIS!

I have a Valentines date with my Mom and Grandma tomorrow. My husband is working.

I have been craving waffles so I made some this morning

Monday night fun

Good mornimg💤

Last night my husband and I talked about what our kids would look like.
I thought our kids would have red hair considering my family has red hair and so does his. We also looked to see what eye color our child will have . My husband has blue eyes and I have blue/green eyes

Well we googled that and what we found was our children will not have brown eyes. Well we decided there had to be an app that would morph our faces and give the faced of our children.

Well here it is!

What do you think?

weekend update

                                                          www.samisshenanigans.com


Hello weekend was all I could think about on Friday....

Friday I went and ran some errands right after work. I stopped by my sisters and saw this cute little thing.

Then I did a little shopping and scored two Nike workout shirts for 6 bucks.

Saturday we got up early to pick up my husband and headed to breakfast before Mardi Gras.

We parked a little bit away but we stood right where the parade started so not the heart of the festivities! We got there early and it was cold!

Sunday we did some major grocery shopping and got plenty of fruits and veggies.

and a healthy shake for lunch

Then I had to organize our tupperware cabinet!  I know I lead an exciting life!

Friday

                                                  http://www.thesweetseasonblog.com

Dear Friday: Thank God you are here! You took a long time to visit us this week. It has been a stressful crazy week. I am hopeful after this weekend everything will settle a bit. PLEASE! 

Dear Mardi Gras: I am excited to be spending all of tomorrow downtown for the Mardi Gras festivities. I went last year for the first time and we had a blast. I cant wait to see all the floats, to get beads, to drink, and to freeze my butt off.

IT will all be worth it.

Dear Finger nails: I promise to get you filled in the weekend so you don't look like crap

Dear hair : I promise to get you done or at least figure out something to do with you this week.

Dear Country music: you are the only thing that gets me through my working lunch break. THANK YOU

Dear blog friends: thank you for reading my non sense. I cant wait to be better at this!

Dear Car: Please get fixed soon and don't ever get broken again... OK

Harper's First Blues Game

Yesterday afternoon as I was leaving work my phone rang and it was my husband...... he doesn't usually call or chat on the phone.
He wanted to know if we wanted to go to the Blues game.  Well  DUH! We were watching Harper that evening since Maggie works the hockey games so I was very hesitant to say yes ! How could a 19 month old sit through a Blues game. Well........... a 19 month old could sure run around a sweet during the Blues game. You got that right we sat in a SUITE last minute.

WE were able to have free parking, free tickets, free food and free drinks all thanks to my mother in law. We decided we would be nice and invite my brother and sister in law

sorry didn't need the flash

We had so much fun even if they didnt play the greatest! 

Sorry Harper I didn't bring you to a winner!

Veggie tray

Chips and dip

Forgot the picture of the dessert cart!

OH MY GOSH was all this delish!
