Welcome to the world

Yesterday At 12:58 p.m. my wonderful friends Jason, Leah and their son Thomas welcomed another son Jack Michael into their family. He was born via C-section weighing 7lbs. 14oz. and crying. When I got to visit them yesterday Jack was nursing like a champ and rooming in with Mom.

Jack Michael.....what a beautiful baby.

Congrats Jason, Leah and Thomas! I am so happy for all of you and can't wait to get some more cuddles in with this beautiful little one.

Meghan's birthday and party!

So Meghan had a slumber party Saturday. Since she is now 13 I am allowing her to wear make up, I had my friend and Mary Kay consultant Jessica come over and show the girls how to take care of their skin and apply make up. All the girls had a great time and learned lots. The other plus is now she know how to apply make up and not put to much on.

All the cupcakes together. The butterflies are made from chocolate. So everything is edible

Kassidy got a new hair cut recently and wanted to show it off.

13 years ago today..............

I gave birth to this beautiful girl...all 8lbs 15oz of her. She was beautiful and still is. I can't believe she is 13 already. I have loved watching her grow and change all these years. She is turing into a wonderful young lady. She is smart(sometimes to much for her own good), funny and kind. She is a passion for animals that I know will stay with her forever.

She hsd blonde hair and blue eyes.

Okay she didn't have a lot of hair but there was some there.

and sister and is always willing to lend a hand.

We Love you!

13 years ago....

13 years ago, my niece MacKenzie Vaugh was born. She had brownish, blond hair and blue eyes. Actually her hair looked like she had highlights done. She was beautiful, and sweet. I loved watching her grow up, she has always mad be smile and laugh.

Today she is smart, funny, caring and an awesome soccer player. She loves soccer and is a natural, at least I think so. Molly and Ryan have really helped her developed her talent,

and have done a lot of driving to make sure she is doing what she loves.

I took this one this morning. As she was getting ready for school I stopped by to deliver some balloons and cupcakes to her. I love the quirky look she has. She knows how to make me laugh. I can't believe that 13 years ago I was holding her in my arms snuggling her.

It is hard to look at this beautiful teenager and not get teary eyed.

She has grown so much.

Happy 13th Birthday Mac!

These are the cupcakes I made for her. Soccer balls of course.

She loved them.

I left a dozen for her and Her family to have tonight after dinner.

Has it been that long....

It has been two weeks since I have been able to update this. Man it has been busy around here. The girls are back in school, thank goodness for that. They both love going to school and I think the 3 weeks off was to much for them. Meghan is finishing up her science fair project for Fridays fair and Kassidy is back into the same routine. The twins are doing well and I am working on letters and numbers with them.

I have been getting up and showered and dressed everyday. The makeup thing has been a little bit harder, I think it is just something I have to get use to. I have also been working on the weight loss. I have lost 5 pounds and have been using the wii fit. So I am starting to workout some. I still have a long way to go. One thing I have done is cut out soda. I had been drinking way to much. I am down to less than a can a day. I am drinking mostly water and crystal light.

Yesterday I helped my neighbor Mandie make cupcakes for her boyfriend's birthday. We decided to go with Pacman. Pretty easy. We made Pacman and the ghost with Chocoloate. Next I will be making cupckaes for Meghan's 13th birthday. I can't belive she is going to be a teenager. Where has the time gone.

The cupckaes all finished.

Back to School

Today the kids go back to school......YEAH!!!!

I am so excited, they have spent the past 3 weeks, yes 3 at home.

The first week was due to snow and the last 2 for winter break.

I am so glad that they are going back, but last night at

about 4:30 it started to snow. I had a bit of a freak out.

I thought "They better be going to school tomorrow."

I didn't know I I could spend another day at home with them.

I love my kids dearly, but after 3 weeks we are all getting on each

others nerves.

I love the start of a new year. We had a quite New Year's Eve

at home. We just hung out, the girls and I were the only one to make

it to midnight. Chris and joey were out my 9 p.m.

One of my resolutions for the new year is to not look like I spend all

day at home being at stay at home Mom.

I get up and Shower, Dress, and do my hair. I also put

make up on. I am going to keep up with this one.

What are your New Year Resolutions?

Please share.

Kimy's new hair

So as you can see in the pictures below this post Kimy has had very long hair.

She use to have bangs, but I got tired of keeping up with the trims, and she would never sit still for me. So after our last battle over having her hair brushed, I told her it was time for a cut. She was not to happy about that. She loves having long hair, but hated to have it brushed. So this past Sunday I took her in and we cut it. It was not enough to donate, but she looks so cute with her new hair cut.

By the way.......She loves it. I watched her toss her hair around all the way home.
She is just the cutest little peanut.
