AZ weekend!!!

Had an awesome time in Arizona!!! Everett loves his Aunt Jen, Uncle David, cousin Taylor and cousin Trevor!!! Here are some pictures from our fun weekend!

NASTY!!

Tonight I drove in James' car and was warned that it was messy. Boy was that an understatement! It was DISGUSTING!!! He has trash all over the floor and empty bottles of water everywhere. He has a couple of coffee mugs in there and a bag of sunflower seeds. Did I mention that he has not one but two bottles full of chewed up sunflower seeds. Talk about nasty. I felt like I needed a hazmat suit to drive the thing.

GET YOUR OWN MONEY JERKS!!!!!

JERKS!!!!

James and I have experienced our first bank account fraud. James noticed some weird charges on our account and sure enough someone has stolen our info!!! NO I DID NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM GERMANY OR FRANCE!!! I know times are tough, but get your own money. Please do not steal ours. Should've gone to Free Credit Report.com!!! James and I would not look good in pirate hats and we would not be nice to tourists in t-shirts.

Is it all necessary or just overkill????

One thing you always hear about when you decide to have a baby is how much stuff you NEED to buy. They weren't kidding. There is a ton of things that a baby"needs". There is the pack-n-play, the crib, the changing table, the diaper champ, the bumpo, the boppy, the playmat, the swing, the bouncer, the high chair and the exersaucer just to name a few. (BTW We have all of these things) My question is, how much of this stuff do we actually need? James and I had this discussion. We determined that our parents raised us on half of this stuff and their parents raised them on practically none of this stuff. I am sure that there will be a time and a place for each of these items, but we haven't found that time yet. We have yet to really use the swing. We put him in it once for 5 minutes and that was it. Will I end up using it, or did I flush a little more than a hundred bucks?? The bouncer we have used a few times and I can see that we will probably use it more in the future but haven't yet. Again, a necessary item or did I waste like sixty bucks ?? The list goes on and on. I know the crib was necessary. We already use the crud out of that. Also, the diaper champ. We really use that thing. It helps keep that stink away. Anyway, I was just looking around my house at all of this stuff and wondering if it was all necessary. It may not all be necessary, but having it on hand just in case my boy needs it might be worth the money. Either that or I am just a sucker!! Hope he doesn't ask us for too much growing up. I know we will cave!!

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY!!!

It has been raining here for what seems like FOREVER!!! It has quite literally been raining all day long today and they predict that it will rain more in the next few days! I thought it was Spring time. A time when the weather is suppose to be beautiful. Not sad and depressing. Stupid April showers! RAIN RAIN GO AWAY and once you are gone stay away. Oh well. At least it keeps me from having to water my lawn.

PART-TIMER

I am officially a part-time cosmetologist. I had planned on going back to work full-time after I had Everett, but James and I have decided that it would be best if I went back part-time. I wasn't sure how I would feel about it but I LOVE IT!!!! I am only working 3 days a week now Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I am so blessed to be able to have a family that I love and a job that I love as well and I get to have a balance between the two. I know that not a lot of people are lucky enough to have flexible jobs so I really feel blessed. There has only been one down side. I am having a hard time getting all of my clients in. They definitely have to either pre-book or call WAY ahead of when they want their appointment. It makes me feel bad, but not bad enough to go back to working full-time any time soon. I worry that I will lose a lot of clients but I don't want to give up any time with E. I am learning how to get in more than one client at a time which is working out well. We will see how it goes!!

My "Guard" Dogs

As many of you know James and I have two vbig dogs Camry and Rory. Our dogs have always been the type to lick a total stranger to death instead of bark at them. This always lead me to wonder whether or not they would protect me if there was an intruder or something. Today I found out the answer to my question. James and I are having a sprinkler system put in (finally - only 6 years late but whatever). I woke up this morning and looked out the window and all was normal. The dogs were in the yard playing and Everett and I were hangin in the house. A few hours later I looked out the back window again and there were flags all over he yard! The sprinkler guy had come out and flagged the whole yard. Do you know what this means? This means that a total stranger opened my back gate (where my two 70+ pound dogs were) and walked around the back yard putting his flags down while the dogs just watched him. They never let me know he was back there! I had no idea! Some guard dogs. Guess it's a good thing we have an alarm system since they aren't good for anything but hangin out, being cute and releasing those disgusting dog farts. Good thing I love them so much.
