Oh hey there!

Hi Friends!

I haven't blogged in a long ass time. I miss everyone.

Life is pretty freaking crazy right now.

But I don't have the time, energy or strength to even being to explain right now.

Just hope you all are still here for me in the end!

I've been working crazy hours at work, and trying to get/stay happy.

I could really use some girl time..if anyone is open, let me know! ;)

I've started planning Landon's 3rd, YES THIRD, birthday! Only 2 months away!

CRAAAZY!!

He started soccer last week.

Let me tell you, that is the only place Landon listens at!

He does everything the coach says. and he's GOOD.

Momma is PROUD!!!!!

Layla turned 6 months!!! She is starting to push herself up and scoot a little bit.

Slow down baby...

She loves being outside and love EVERYTHING her big brother does. Landon jumps and she laughs for 5 minutes. It's hilarious and so damn cute!!!!

And lets just say, having 2 kids is SIMPLE when you have a older kid like Landon!

He loves to do everything for Lay!

This is the conversation Landon and I had last weekend driving down the road..

Landon: mommy, i love her.

Me: you love who?

Landon: Layla. I love her.

Me: Aww, she loves you too!!

Landon: I know, but I love her soooo much. she's my best friend.

Seriously. TEARS galore!

Love my kids so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll try not to wait so long until my next post. We'll see!

Warning. This post is as hormonal as I am.

Hey Y'all!

Long time no see! This past week has been one hell of a roller coaster ride for this girl. Lets just say I hope this is the hormones finally leaving my body completely and I'll be back to normal soon.

hopefully.

Lets play catch up.

Thursday. the kids and I hung out at my girl friend Debbie's house. Lots of girl talk and Landon running around being a crazy kid.

Friday I worked then went on a much needed road trip with my BFF.

Seriously, I don't know what I'd do without her. Our conversations get so deep, then 2.5 seconds later we are laughing so hard it hurts.

Saturday the fam went shopping and had lunch at my favorite restaurant, sakura. then this momma got a new phone.. PTL PTL PTL.

I finally got my iPhone. and let's just say I am IN LOVE.

I tried taking a picture of Landon as soon as I got it.. instead of saying "cheese" like he normally does.. he says... "Hey, it flashed"

Not use to that are ya buddy! ;)

Then we headed to a birthday party at the bowling alley for Shebi. After that we had dinner at my moms house.

Sunday Landon woke up saying "wanna go bowling" since we didn't get to bowl at the party, we knew we had to take him.

He had so much fun. And he's a pretty damn good bowler. Well, when he is not kicking the ball down the lane.

Monday I went shopping for new jeans with my sister. 4 kids at the mall is no fun. but we managed. I found a pair of jeans that fit. and I'm going to brag for a second and say they are 2

SIZES SMALLER than the jeans I bought on NYE. Eeek. 15 pounds to go!

and because I was so excited about my jeans, I tried on a dress. And the second I put it on Landon said "Pretty mommy". This kid has never said a word about my clothes before, so I had to buy it.

here it is. now only if it would warm up so I can wear it!!

Then Dane and I went to the drunken fish to get our sushi fix. OMG. By far the best sushi I've ever had. I've been there a few times and let me tell you, they must be doing something different because it was fabulous! Or it could have been the bottle of wine I drank by myself.

:)

Today Landon and I made cookies for his class.

They were suppose to be simple, but I sent Dane to the store to get things I needed... and well, he just sucks at grocery shopping. So I ended up making homemade sugar cookies and homemade frosting. And even though I had to go to a neighbor to borrow an egg, everything turned out great. I had awesome help! :)

I gave him a spoon of frosting and he kept licking it and shouting "I like it mommy, I like it!" haha love him! :)

Nana's party was of course awesome as usual. She always has so much fun things for the kiddos t do!

even Daddy stopped by the party for a minute!

Well you are basically caught up on my life the past week.

Nothing too exciting, but been busy busy busy.

And I have to add this.

I dropped a word on my facebook yesterday that I hate. HATE. But I truly felt it was the only word that was necessary for this person.

I don't want drama.. it gives me headaches and grey hair.

But if you mess with my children, you will unleash a person in me that you wish you'd never met.

Sayin'">

you're doing a pretty damn good job so far on your own.

and well, I don't want to end this post on a bitchy note, so here ya go.

(i wanted for you to post this Cassie, because you didn't, I am. lol)

HAHA! I laugh EVERY TIME!

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!

xoxo

Annnnd the pictures they took!!!

Ekkkkk!!!

seriously. This weekend couldn't have been more perfect!!!!!!!!!!

xoxo

Amazing sister weekend!!!!!

Hey Everyone!

I feel like I've been gone for a month..when actually it was only a day. But holy cow did I miss my kiddos!

But let me tell you a little bit about one of the best weekends I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!

As you have heard me say over and over again whether if be from here on my blog, on Facebook or in person.. but my 2 sisters & I got meet & greet passes through the fan club and had amazing seats.

So after a very FUN ride to Champaign Saturday morning, we make it to our hotel, start drinking & getting ready.

Then we headed to dinner and had a waitress that didn't know how to handle having 4 tables on her own. Ridic.

Anyways, Once we arrived to the Assembly Hall we got in line for will call to pick up our meet & greet passes. After standing in line for about 15 minutes we finally get up to the window and they don't have our name on the list. or any of the other 15 people who won tickets through the fan club. I was || <--- this close to crying. So we get in line to go into the arena and start PRAYING our tickets we not fake. (since we bought them from a scalper)

Whew. CLOSE ONE!

So instead of going to our seats and ignoring the fact we paid to be a fan club member and got SCREWED on our meet & greets, we go to where they are and grab anyone who will listen to us talk. (I mean c'mon, what man is going to ignore 3 girls in booty shorts???) HA! Not anyone who is with Luke Bryan's team!

So after standing around for about 30 minutes, they tell us to go on down. WOO!

I don't know how I held myself together so well... beer& deep breaths

(Could be because the guy taking the picture was SO DAMN HOTT!!!!!)

.. sorry honey... lol

Boo for blurry picture. Can't wait to see the picture they took!!!

So he read our shirts, loved them, signed them. We chatted for a few minutes and it was time for us to go because the show was already running late. & they told us they would see them again soon.

We grabbed a few drinks and headed to our seats. HOLY AMAZING!!!!!

or Amazeballs as my bff says.

Luke took the stage & of course ROCKED IT. The 3rd song came on and guess who was walking up to me... the hot camera guy who was backstage.. woo. lol

He leans in and tells me my song is coming up next. (the song that was on my shirt)

Whaaat? You had to come out from backstage to tell me this??
Whatev, I'll take it. lol

We did not sit down the entire time Luke was singing. Amazing!

After he was done playing there was about a half hour intermission. We headed out to the bathrooms and everyone was staring at us. Umm... WHAT??? is what we wanted to say to all of them. Then next thing we know, we were bombarded with guys coming up to us telling us to keep doing what we're doing down there. They had us on the jumbo tron several times. OMG, embarrassed? a little. but Hilarious!!!!! We had no shame, and Luke was loving it... he announced to the crowd that he had 3 country girls down in front shaking it for him! ;)

Before we knew it, Jason was up on stage doing his thang!

He put on an amazing concert.. & of course we danced the entire time too!

I swear I burned 5000 calories during both of their performances! Amazing!

As Jason went off stage LB's crew came and told us to stick around. Next thing we know we are going backstage. holy freak-out.

Unfortunately we were not able to take pictures, get autographs, or anything backstage. but it was a blast!

Definitely a night I will never forget.. well, my sister won't allow me to forget anything.. Lol

Don't worry..the fun isn't over yet. They are coming to St. Louis in September. They have our names, phone numbers & email addresses. We will be seeing them again!!! ;)

Proud mommy moment!!!!!

go Landon go!!

he was so excited!!!

and Layla was of course along, too!

rambling & a confession or 2!

Hey Everyone! Happy Friday!!

I am down 2 more pounds.. that's a total of 31 pounds so far. 20 more to go!

I'm getting ready to set these mofo jean's on fire.

Never again will I wear them!!!

AND I colored my hair back to black. Can't tell much of a difference from this picture, but there is a difference. LOVING it!

I feel like a new person when I have a new hair color!!

But

Enough about me.

I still can't believe how big my baby is.

Slow down Landon!!!!!

We have had 4 successful nights of him sleeping in his own bed, upstairs in his room. He doesn't put up a fight as long as he has his crack. aka Handy Manny.

Ms Layla is rockin' this baby food stage!

Home girl will eat an entire jar with every single meal.

I couldn't shovel the bananas in fast enough the other morning, she ripped the spoon right out of my hand and decided to feed herself.

And Landon is such a big help. I never in a million years would have thought he would have been this big of a help!

I haven't confessed about anything lately, so let's see what I can come up with!

I confess I know you're probably sick of me talking about the concert, but it's NEXT WEEKEND. 8 FREAKING DAYS!!! and as excited as I am to go... I'm nervous about leaving my babies. My first overnight trip from Landon & Layla.. (well, 1st away from Landon other than when I was in the hospital)

I confess as much as I love being home with my babies most of the week, I am going to start looking for full time work again. With what I'm making and the cost of daycare, it isn't worth it. Anyone know of anything??

I confess Mardi Gras is coming up, and I've only been at night when the party is pretty much over. Anyone going this year or want to go with me?

Please :)

I confess I've got 3 birthday emails this week with coupons or

a % off my order. My birthday is in August, but thanks!

I confess my tanning package ends today. I might cry.

I confess I really think we should plan another BNO. Like soon!!

Maybe BNO Mardi Gras?? Heeyyyyy! ;)

Hope everyone had a chance to read my guest post on Kati J's blog this week, if not.. it's not too late. go on over & check it out!

Have a great weekend!
