Sorry!!

You may have noticed my absence around here... I've been here, but I'm so very behind on posting. I promise to catch up soon, but my Google storage account expired and I decided not to renew it. If you've gone to past posts and the photos are MIA, that is why. I'm in the process of moving them and rehoming them, but it's taking awhile! Bear with me. I will get a new post up tomorrow, I promise!!!

Day 327 - 333 - A week behind... Again.

I think when this P365 is over, I'm going to switch to P52. And do it weekly ;)
Anyway...
Day 327 - 
Remember how I said that Monster was sick? Well, it was a rough night, so I needed this when I woke up:

I love my new Buddy. His name is Jamu ;) In the afternoon, I decided it was time to do a little Easter decorating... SO I changed out the warmer in the study for Easter Egg!

The hubby was excited to come home and see it. Easter is his favorite holiday! :)
Day 328 -
Today was an interesting day.... While I was waiting for Monkey to get out of school, I took this photo of the back windshield of the car in front of me. I love the way the reflection looked!

 Now this photo has a long story to tell. We went into Walgreens today to pick up a photo and Monster walked into the back of this man. Turns out, he was an Army Vet. He and Monster struck up a conversation and Monster told him his Daddy was a soldier as well. When we were ready to leave, the mans wife grabbed my hand and gave me a $5. She said, "From one Army Wife to another, treat your boys to ice cream from me." And that is exactly what I did as soon as Monkey got out of school! I've never had that happen before and I thought it was super sweet!!!!

Day 329 -
When I went to Houston, my Scentsy director got me hooked on Smoothie King. The only one I know of is way out by Camp Bullis here, so last weekend I told the Hubby I was going to get one when I took him to Drill... But it was closed all day Sunday! I've been wanting a Smoothie every since and finally remembered there was a shop near the gym! So today Monster and I stopped and got one!!

Day 330 -
Spring has apparently made it to Texas... The flowers are in bloom:

 And it was time to get Monkey some new shoes! ;)

Day 331 -
I got super sick over night again (darn you MSG) but as I was getting home from getting Monkey from school, I snapped this photo from our driveway.

Isn't he beautiful?!Day 332 -
It's Saturday which means it's Family Fun Day! For todays we decided on lunch at Chick-Fil-A and a trip to the Library! After lunch, I talked the boys into going across the parking lot for an impromptu Bluebonnet photo shoot!
Here is Monkey:

 And Monster:

 And my amazing family:

We'll have to redo these... Maybe earlier in the morning or later in the evening when the sun isn't so bright!
Day 333 -
Today was "Celebrate the Hubby's 30th Birthday kinda" day... We had lunch together and I made brownies... And he and Monkey did a little Target Practice!

Day 325 & 326 - It's the weekend!!

It's the weekend which is awesome for 2 reasons... One, I mean, it's the weekend. Two, this is the final Drill weekend my husband will be attending as a Member of the United States Army Reserves. In just a few weeks my hubby will be a full time civilian again. I won't pretend to say that I'm 100% glad we're out. Yes, we have a horrible Unit but I loved the time we served in the Army. :)
Anyway...

Day 325 - 

The hubby took this photo of Monster in the backseat of the car this morning:

 There is so much win in that photo it's hard to pick my favorite part, but I'm gonna go with his hands! lol... Shortly after that we picked up Monkey and dropped off the hubby, and then the boys and I came home to enjoy the day....

Day 326 - 

I'm sure you know that my husband is Irish. He's only like the 3rd Generation here from his family, so it's kinda fun to celebrate his Irish culture (which is the main reason for the Irish theme we had in the kitchen) We got up and while the boys were still sleeping I ran the Hubby to Camp Bullis and came home and got a shower before anyone else in the family woke up! Soon it was breakfast, dressed, and off to Church. While we were there Monster started to get very clingy. When service was over, he fell asleep in my arms and slept like 4 hours! On the way to get the Hubby, he got sick in the car and was sick on and off the rest of the night... In one of the times he wasn't feeling well, we enjoyed some warm time outside where I snapped this photo!

Now I'm off to wait for the Hubby to get home from work... Good night all!

Days 314 - 324 - I must not get behind again!

Day 314 - 
Monkey was "sick" today but really just wanted a day of no school I think! lol... We met a friend for lunch at Chick-Fil-A so the kids could play!

Day 315 - 
Today was a Mommy/Monster trip to the Zoo with our new membership!

Day 316 -
We're working on a "Bunny Army" for the RAs to sale at their next craft sale... And aren't they cute?!

Day 317 -
Finally... We finally got to throwing our pumpkins away.. And would you believe they still weren't even starting to rot?!

My aunt is out of town and has asked us to get the eggs from their chickens... Here are the boys with their collection!

Day 322 - New Do's! The boys have both needed new hair cuts for awhile... And today was the day! (I like Monkey's longer, but Monster's is super cute short like that!!)

Day 323 - 
Monkey, Monster, and Dino having fun in the sun at Sonic. We're soaking up the high70s and sun shine during Spring Break!

Day 324 - 
My kiddos before the boys left for their RA Lockin!

And hurrah! We're caught up again. Now I just have to keep it that way!!! :)(On the plus side, I know I'll be back tomorrow or Monday to change the blog layout, so I should at least update it for the next few days! lol)

Days 303 - 313 - I have to play catchup... again!

I have no idea what is going on with me lately. I keep thinking, man I need and want to sit down and blog, but then something happens and it doesn't happen... And now I'm way behind again! Since I'm playing catch up, I think it's a quick post per day and then once I'm caught up, back to the regular scheduled blogging! ;)
  
Day 303 - 
It was a I'm going to take my boys to Orange Leaf because we all deserve some FroYo kinda day! ;)

Day 304 - 
'Twas the weekend before Monkey's birthday and wouldn't you knowo Mommy was making a cake into a lego!"

Day 305 - 
I made the hubby take us to dinner tonight. We wanted Big Lous, but it was crazy busy so we ended up at CiCis instead... Someone left a bunch of money in a machine, so the Hubby played it out!

Day 306 - 
My migraines have gotten crazy bad and I finally realized it was because I needed new glasses (Plus Monkey broke my sun glasses!) So here are the new ones!

Day 307 -
I took Monkey to school this morning. At a red light, I looked into the back seat and saw this... Cutie!

Day 299 - 302 - Catch Up Post 3/3 {YAY}

Day 299 - Dairy Queen
Monkey had school today so Monster and I ran an errand with GG. We treated her to lunch and of course Monster enjoyed his free ice cream... (And can I mention that I love that DQ gives ice cream instead of stupid toys)!

Day 300 - Lunch with the Girls
I recently reconnected with some of my friends from High School via Facebook. (I think that's one of the best things about FB. Finding long lost friends.) Since we almost all have kids now, we set a date and make a lunch outing for the kids. They had a GREAT time and so did I! It was nice seeing everyone again and I can't wait until we do it again!

My friend E.S. went with us, and afterward I ran an errand or two... Monster keeps wanting a new hat, so I tried this one on him... But he decided he didn't want it. :/ I thought he looked really cute in it! Better than in his felt one.

Day 301 - Cat & Service Project
The hubby needed new glasses and I was able to get him in to the eye doc this morning. Since I had to wait around in town for a bit I went to a place I've been wanting to go and get some fresh produce. It's called Straight from the Crate and it was awesome. I can't wait to go back after we eat everything I got. (Prices were awesome too!) When I came home to put the food away, Reeses decided he wanted to play in the car, so he jumped into the window!

At GAs tonight, the girls did a service project... Here is a sneak peek of it!

Day 302 - My sons are super cute!
This morning I took the Hubby to Fort Sam and dropped him off for his FTX... I then went to Church for crafters where Monster somehow conned my Aunt into playing a game with him. He had a BLAST!

The Hubby told me there were more things he needed so I grabbed Monkey from school early because I was afraid I wouldn't make it back to get him in time... We got the gear to the Hubby and then we had lunch late at Chick-Fil-A. I snapped this photo of Monkey while he was looking out the window...

I can't believe in just a few days he will be 8. He's getting so big and he's so handsome. :)

Day 292 - 298 - Catch up Feb Post 2/3

Day 292 - Spring Sprint
Today was Scentsy Spring Sprint.. .My friend A.R. and I rode together and made a day of it. We had a great time!!!

 

 There was the most amazing stories, some funny dances, and lots of stuff to learn as well as some sneak peeks for the new products which I can not wait to share with you all! (So a new Scentsy blog post will be coming soon! lol)

On the way out, I snapped this photo of A.R. in front of this SUV... She things her husband should let her do this with her car! I can't see that happening! lol
Day 293 - Lazy Dog
Mina is so spoiled. I was getting ready to do some laundry and she must have gotten cold. Next thing I knew I found this on the kitchen floor...

Day 294 - Playdates & Valentines
Monster had a play date this morning. A.R.'s son D came over for a visit. Monster LOVED having him here. I haven't heard so much laughter from my backyard of kids under 4 in a LONG time! ;)

I finished the Valentines for Monkey to give his class. I taped a glow stick to the back and he signed it there too. I think they came out so well!

Day 295 - Happy Valentines Day!
Today is the day you are supposed to celebrate your love for people... Normally we don't celebrate at all, but this year we had a little extra play money so we set a $5 limit and got each other gifts... This is what I got for the Hubby:

 Monkey's teacher had asked me to come up and help with the class party... Here is a shot of my sons in Monkey's classroom. They really enjoyed it!!!

 And here is the gift the Hubby got me. He fit me perfectly! A card with glitter and a flash drive!!! <3 He knows me too well!

Day 296 - Sunrise and wood
*Sigh* Are y'all getting tired of seeing my sunrise photos all the time? I really hope not because I can't help but take them. There is something about a sunrise that makes my heart happy. I think it's the knowledge that no matter how bad the day or days before it, this is a new day and full of the possibility of amazing things!

A few weeks ago, my Dad got some wood from a friend at Church. Her tree died in her front yard and she asked us if we wanted the wood for our fireplace.... It was such an old tree, it's a shame it had to be cut down....

Day 297 - Church Chili Cookoff
This morning was our first Chili Cookoff at Church and I have to say, it was a roaring success! We set up board games all over the inside, and all the outside stuff was set up too. Monster was standing against the wall behind the soccer net watching the youth play... But it kinda looks like he's in a cage in the photo!

When the judging was over, I was awarded 3rd place for my "Are You Kidding Me" cake! (Linked to the recipe in case you haven't seen it yet.)

After eating, a few of us sat down to play some games. I have a new favorite domino game called either Chicken Foot or the Mexican Train Game. I'm not all that great at it (but I'm still learning). I can't wait to have enough people around to play it again (since I went out and got my own set! lol)

Day 298 - Rodeo!!!
Thanks to Operation Homefront the Hubby and I were blessed to get 2 tickets to the Rodeo and Kip Moore Concert! It was awesome. The Hubby had never been to a rodeo before so it was really exciting for me to see him so happy and to get to enjoy it with him. He's already decided that we need to take the boys next year!

 We had some amazing seats and had the best time ever....

I can't wait to go back next year! :)
