Concert Outfit!

(sorry Heather! lol)

EEEEEKKKKkkkk!

We are almost at the 1 month mark!

1 month & 4 days until I am FRONT ROW, CENTER STAGE seeing these guys!!

Ahhhh. be still my heart ;)

So anyways, the reason for this post.

I started putting together my outfit for the show. In February.

My sisters decided we were wearing shorts.

Definitely hope our hotel is super close because we are planning on walking to the concert.

This is what I have bought so far.

No my shirt isn't a XS and my pants aren't a 00 like this picture.

Are people really even that size? If so, F them! jk skinny bitches ;)

I lucked out and missed getting the boots I wanted. They went on sale (40 fucking percent off. Sorry about my language. still PISSED) the day after Christmas.

I happened to get on my phone and look at them on the 26th but couldn't order off my phone & we were headed to Dane's moms house so I didn't get a chance to buy them until that night. They were sold out in my size. Holy tears. I cried. Over boots!!! :((

They were "the one".

I'm starting the think there are no boots out there for me. The past 3 months I've been looking for new boots, 2 pairs that I loved have sold out in my size.

I've been searching and searching for other cute boots, but I'm not having any luck.

That's where I need YOU..

Help me find boots and accessories to go with my outfit!

PLEASE & Thank you!! :)

Christmas with the Lukes

Hey!

I am back to work today after being off a week!

And the time off has been amazing!

I have spent every single day with my family. No fancy vacations to talk about, nothing to wow you..

Just Christmas break with my hubby, kids, family and in-laws!!

Ever tried getting 2 kids to look at a camera at the same time? Impossible.

Christmas Eve we celebrated with my mom's side of the family.

And this is what the kids did pretty much the entire time.

Until it was time to open presents of course!!!

Layla decided to sleep through opening presents, but she loved with Aunt Brandi got her!! ;)

After that party. we headed over to my dads house. (aka Grandpa Dane..yes, that confuses Landon. lol)

My dad got the boys HUGE remote control trucks. And those suckers are FAST.

and when they run over your feet, IT HURTS!!!!!!!But Landon LOVES it!!!

Sister Amber & I

We Finally got home around 12:30 and Santa hadn't even came yet.

So we put the kids to bed asap & got to work!

It was a good thing we remembered to set Santa's cookies & milk out

before going to the party because Landon was PASSED OUT!!!

Notice the milk ring around the cup... yea, it had been sitting there awhile. but damn, those cookies were good!!!!

Santa came!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!

First thing Landon noticed Christmas morning? His stocking filled with candy. Go figure!

Miss Layla and her life size cabbage patch doll :)

Of Course, Handy Manny!!!!

Christmas afternoon we had family over and had a great lunch, and of course more presents!!!

We all had a great Christmas, Landon thanked Santa SEVERAL times.. It was too cute!

He was so wore out at the end of the day that he fell asleep standing!!! hehe

I have lots of pictures of our Christmas at the in-laws,

but haven't had time to upload them yet..Maybe another Christmas post later!!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!!!!!!!!

Santa Baby!

I love seeing what everyone wants for Christmas. I hope that every single person gets everything on their list. Including Jason Aldean for you, Heather! Lol

Here are a few things on my Christmas list. Some I know are not realistic, but a girl can wish... right!

An iPhone. Yes I would like to someday join the rest of the world and own a smart phone. But my contract isn't up until February. So probably not going to happen.

Momma needs a good new bra. And it's one store I am guaranteed to spend the entire card on. Anywhere else I walk out with more things for the kids than myself.

A tanning bed. Ha. kidding. realistically, I would be happy with a tanning package. Pasty is not cute!

New Cowboy boots. Since the pair I wanted is sold out. :(

But Santa, I won't need these if Heather gets her pair for Christmas... I will just steal hers! ;)

A new trash can. Duh, what girl doesn't want a new trash can.

Bahaha. Sorry Cass, had to! ;)

ps. I googled trash can, and I'm pretty sure this is the exact same trash can you got! lol

Most importantly I want both of my babies to be healthy again!!! They have both been sick this entire week, and Lay has her first fever :(

That's all. For now.

I promise I was good! :)

And stopped completely when I got the video camera out. Stinker!!

Here I gooooo...........

I DID IT!!!!!!!

whew. All that rolling over wore me out!!!!!!!

Poor Layla!!!

Ho Ho Ho!

Christmas 2009


Christmas 2010


Christmas 2011



LOVE the Santa from this year. He makes me want to believe!!!!

3 months already!

Miss Layla is 3 months old today!

And this is the only picture I got before she started SCREAMING.

Home girl HATES tummy time.

She has rolled over twice, but I'm pretty sure they were flukes because she was so pissed about being on her tummy that she kicked hard enough to roll over!

But sit her up, and she is a happy little girl!! She is afraid she is going to miss something!

Chillin'

Happy Baby

Ahh. 3 months already!!

slow down baby, slow down!!

xoxo

Love you bigger than the world <3

Confession Friday!

I confess I obviously had a few too many drinks last night.

I can barely function today!

But I had so much fun so it is worth it!

I confess I pumped on my way to work today because my boobs were about to EXPLODE!

and I pumped the most I've ever pumped before!

Score!

I confess I had a 32oz soda drank in 20 minutes on my way to work today.

very dehydrated.

I confess a photographer contacted me about giving Layla's pictures to a talent agency today for a shoot next week. Fingers crossed for little Lay!

I confess I think its hilarious my bff posts horrible pictures of me on her blog...

I think she forgot I still have Cancun pictures!!! ;)

I confess I still don't have our Christmas Cards ordered.

I really don't have a good picture to put on them..

UGH! Idk what to do!

I confess I have more gifts to buy than I have money for this Christmas.

And I refuse to put anything on a credit card.

I'm in over my head and it's not a good feeling AT ALL!!! :((

I confess my computer at work is so slow. I want to throw it through the wall. #$*&#%&^@(#&!!!!!

I confess I love these two with my entire heart and soul.

I confess getting 2 kids to look at the camera at the same time is nearly impossible!

I confess the family tree picture frame I got over a month ago, still has pictures of the store bought family in them. Whoops. I promise I ordered the pictures 2 weeks ago, just haven't got them in the mail yet!

I confess I've had a follower that can't decide if they want to follow me or not.

47...48...47...48.

C'mon people! I'm trying to make it to 50 for my giveaway!!!

1 1/2 hours of work left, I better get caught up!

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!!!

I'm hoping to get a chance to take the kiddos to see Santa this weekend!
I'm sure Landon is going to freak.. so stay tuned for a epic picture!!! ;)

xoxo

It's OK...

It's okay to send a text to your husband that says:

Me: I love the smell of upsexy!!!

Dane: What is upsexy?

Me: Nothin much, you?

bahahaha. still laughing!!

What is OK for you today???

Celebrate!

Ok so not everyone will celebrate with me on this..

but I have officially made it 12 weeks of nursing Layla.

12 weeks = my goal!!!

I never thought I'd make it considering I barely made it 8 weeks with Landon.

If you haven't done it or at least tried it, I don't think you realize how HARD it is!

So here is a gold star for all the mommies who have made it past 12 weeks!

If you have any words of encouragement to share with me that helped you go longer.. please share!! :)

Peace Out!

Weekend Wrap Up

Happy Monday Ya'll!

Mondays are one of my favorite days of the week now. I'm off work and 3 out of 4 Mondays the hubby is at work too. A day of nothing but me and my babies!

But I'll give you a weekend wrap up before we go on to Monday!

Friday night we made plans with my sisser and her family to take the kiddos to Santa's Magical Kingdom. Never been? I highly suggest it! I attached the link to it in case you decide to go sometime during the week (Monday-Thursday) there is a $2 off coupon!

We go to the Shrine every year but SMK will definitely be a tradition. The shrine is pretty, but this is aimed to get the attention of kids. All character themes, dinosaurs, trains, you name it. they got it!

Seeing the lights for the first time!!!

"Wow Mommy Wow!!!!"

pretty sure this was 2.5 seconds before Layla decided to blow out her diaper.. thanks again Lay! ;)

Loving be able to drive the truck!!!

Saturday I got up early to watch Stella & Henry. Their mommy bribed me with Country Kitchen...little did she know, I would have done it for free ;) Henry is just 2 weeks older than Layla, well and Lay was 2 weeks early.. but the size difference in them is crazy! Henry is definitely all boy! Definitely going to be a football player

Landon and Stella actually played good together, there was no crying over toys and they shared. I know, hard to believe. lol

ahh..innocent, true love!! <3

That night I picked up a shift at work. Shelbi came over and watched the kiddos for us Saturday night and I met up with Dane, my sister & her husband when I got off work at 9

.. My cousin Dustin and his girlfriend Sheena decided to come out too. They live in Florissant so they didn't want to drive too far. So we met up with them in Cahokia where I witnessed the BIGGEST bar fight I have ever sene in my life. I know what your thinking, Cahokia? A fight? not shocking. But let me tell you... There are many bars in Cahokia and Dupo that you can go to if you want to see a fight. This bar we were at... is a family owned bar. Everyone is friends. There

were probably 40+ people in the bar. EVERY.SINGLE.PERSON in the bar was fighting except for our table of 6. It was the CRAZIEST thing I have ever seen in my entire life! It was friends/family fighting each other. I still have no idea what started it, but the cops were called, ambulance was called and we got the hell out of there! Back to the bar we probably would see another fight at. lol but nope. we had a great time!!

Since I got my new camera, I hardly EVER carry my digital camera anymore so I never get pictures when we go out. My brother in law tried taking a picture of me and Dane for me........ this is what I got:

Thanks honey for the great picture.............

Sunday we laid around pretty much all day again. And then I seen that Sarah B went to Olive Garden... and that was all I could think about all day. So I made Dane get up and take me. DELISH! Pretty sure I could have ate that entire bowl of salad by myself!!!

Our house is ready on the inside for Christmas. I finally got Lay a stocking and got them hung on the new fireplace.

ahhhhhh... so cozy!

don't mind all the cords... we're working on fixing that.

And since Landon has his own Christmas tree, I had to get Lay one too!

Now if I can only get Dane outside to hang our Christmas lights!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Stay warm this yucky Monday!!!

:)
