With my two favorite people

Image
This past weekend, we stayed indoors and at the end of the weekend I felt terrible that we didn't leave the house and have some fun. I felt really bad for Megan. So I told Jaime if we could go to the park so that Megan could play. This semester has been horrible and I know that I have not fully been there with Megan. Ive spent a lot of my time studying so I owed her this. We had a great time, we had a little picnic with the damn seagulls. They were ready to attack our food. Then we fed the ducks and Megan spent some time playing on the pirate ship boat. Megan really enjoyed herself, we played capt. hook, and two princesses. It was so much fun. Then Mr. Jaime made me get into this little tiny hole that is for kids and surprisingly I fit! Well kind of:)

Life. Music.

* looks like I forgot to post this last week. Oh well, here it is:) Im not sure if this is just me but do you ever think to yourself. Hmmm..have I already posted this picture already? And then your there looking back at all your posts. Yeah, I totally do that sometimes.    I think I posted yesterday that Jaime was part of Career day at Megan's daycare. Well, the next night Miss Megan and all her friends were in the newspaper. I received the text message late at night about the paper and jumped in my car to get the paper. I was pretty excited to see Megan on the newspaper=) It was just a little story about the daycare having Career day, but it was still so exciting. My mom also bought the paper and put it up on her fridge. I'm pretty sure I have posted about Mr. Jaime was in a band when he was in High school. The music in him has never left him and still loves to play when he gets the chance. For a couple of months he has been begging asking for an acoustic

I still make him nervous=)

I wanted to write this down while it's still fresh in my head. (..Posting a week later.) So I am washing dishes and Jaime and I are talking about the presentation he is going to do for "Career day' at Megan's daycare.So he is talking and talking about what he is going to say.Then I say "hey, do you want me to go". And he says with a chuckle "Ugh, I knew you were going to ask that." He said "I dont want you in the room because I would be nervous and if I mess up I dont want to be embarrassed." All I thought was awww. Its 5 years later and I still make him nervous Honestly, I would feel the same way if he was in my classroom and I was teaching.   For whatever reason, this photo isn't turning.

Book Reviews(sort of)

Image
“I guess there are never enough books.” -John Steinbeck The Matched Trilogy was pretty good for teen books. The only thing It really lacked was the romance. I would have wanted to see more romance. It had some romance but I'm more of a romantic book reader. It did have plenty of action. It reminded me of The Giver and The hunger games all in one.  I am currently reading, Heart of the matter followed by A grown-up kind of pretty. I'm not sure how many books that is so far, but Im pretty proud of myself that I am taking time to blog and read and keep up with all my classes. I just had to eliminate t.v. from my life but its worth it. Oh, and for all you book worms, The Elite is released TOMORROW!

This & That

Ive seen a couple of bloggers doing this kind of post, and I just wanted to write a quick post on what has been going on in our lives lately. 1. I think we are so close to finishing out porch. The last thing we want to do is put in a colorful mat for the front door. I added another plant to the front door. We only had one plant at the time so we bought another to have on the other side. I made the big "G" and Megan did her own "G" on the other side. It looks more like the number 6 but she's pretty proud of it.   2. We bought a new bed set. Yay! Its been 6 years since we bought this set. We were incredibly uncomfortable, Jaime thought the floor was so much better to sleep on, so I knew it was time to buy a new bet set.  Our new bed is pretty amazing. Its a memory foam bed and it is so comfortable. Jaime said this morning that he felt so well rested. It was pretty funny when we were putting our new bed set together we realized that it was amazingly t

Outside play

Image
 Outside. I don't think we are outside enough. First off, I stay inside when Jaime works, our private fence is not fully closed off so I don't feel like it is totally private where I can be in the back and no one can see us. It is just one of those over protective things I have. Secondly, it is effin hot. Hot, Hot, Hot. That's the only thing I hate about Texas, that when the summer comes its not just hot..its fuggin HOT!   The times when we do go outside to play its fun and so laid back. On this particular day we were planting some flowers, which Megan has really started enjoying. We still have plans to plant some flowers in the back of the house but that part is still in the works.   Megan seems to like being outside but we don't have plenty of outside toys.  She has a small slide,a little tikes car, and a water table. I have saved up quit a bit of money to buy her a swing set. We are waiting for Jaime and my dad to finish my parents private fence so tha

That time I was a "Handy Woman" (Megan's room)

Well, not really. I did work for a small... tiny....little person named Megan. The process to making Megan a "Room" is still in the works. I know I am going really slow but we are in no rush and things are doing along smoothly. On Tuesday I started working for Megan. She needed some curtains to hang, and I kind of made it a point for me to do Megan's room only. This picture does not look pretty on how we handled the whole curtains but we bought these pink curtain years ago, I think about 2 years ago in hopes that one day we would use them. The only problem when we moved in here was that we only had two curtain and 3 windows, so I knew that at some point we would have to buy new curtain for her. I asked Megan what color of curtains she wanted and she asked for purple. So the next day, Jaime and I go  to Anna's linens and we buy some purple curtains. I had the rods ready to go and Jaime had the "driller" thing ready for me to go. I did sweat and It was

Baby talk,yet again.

So here we are, a couple of months till baby making  and I keep getting comments such as "Where is baby #2?" or "Are ya'll going to have another baby soon" or "Your daughter, I'm sure is lonely" or "Where is the other, your getting older." The last one is pretty terrible.  Thanks, I had not noticed I was getting older. My response is always same its either " we are waiting till next year " or " we are waiting till I graduate ".. Then I smile and turn away. I could go on and on why we would like to wait till next year. There are even reasons to wait for another 2 years, but if we don't do it next year,  I think the idea will go away and it will just be Megan. Aside from all the questions of people . Baby fever is at it's all time high. If you follow me on Pinterest, you will noticed so many pins on baby stuff.  All I can think of are bow ties and hair bows.Someone please help me. I think I need to take car

To my Parents....

Dear Mom and Dad, I don't know what I would do without you. I know so many people say that all the time but it is the truth. I don't know where I would be without your support and great advice. You both make me feel like I can do anything in the world. I know in my heart that you would have probably punched the daylights out of the person who hurt me this morning. Especially mom:) Thanks for always being there for me even if it's just encouraging words. I love you mom and dad.

This morning didn't start so great. Jaime locked his keys in his truck which meant I had to drop him off at work and then I had some trouble at the tax office with some papers. Then I had to wait for 30 minutes for my mom because her clinic was having a meeting, so I had to wait for awhile. I am just waiting for something else to go wrong. So that is why What I'm loving Wednesday is a must this week. I am Loving that Jaime and I are starting to eat clean. It's something I think we should have started doing a long time ago. I am  Loving the Introduction brochure I had to do for class. The finished product looks a lot better. Then I had to make a website for my pretend classroom. I'm not going to lie, it was pretty fun. I am Loving the New Paintshop pro I bought a couple of weeks ago. Its a lot more faster and it have more tools to use. I'm still learning how to use it but since I have the Paintshop pro x3, I decided to get the fifth one just because I th

Easter Fishing Picnic

Image
Hmm I could have added commas to the title as well. :) Our Easter started off at 5am. That's right, 5am! We had planned an Easter "Fishing picnic" with my family. The only problem was that I had not seen Jaime in 2 days so I was planning this fishing picnic with my family and just texting Jaime the details. So we started the morning, and at 5:55am we were at my moms house waiting for everyone else to get ready. We left at about 6:30am and It was still dark out. Megan kept telling me it was night time but I had to explain to her that it was just really early and the sun was going to come out to play any minute now. When we got to our Fishing location there was already a ton of people who had camped out there. So we found a small area we could "set up camp". The only problem was that there were bee's. A lot of them. So many that I didnt feel comfortable having Megan there. I just wanted to be safe than sorry. So we left to a different spot
