What I'm Lovin'

You should link up with Jamie right here



weather
I am loving this crazy Alabama weather. Right now at about 11:30PM, I have the windows open and letting the fresh spring like breeze in. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if we have tornado threats sometime soon..well just because it is Alabama.

clothes,clothes, & more clothes
I have been doing some second hand shopping for Kent here lately. I didn't realize how low he was getting on clothes. I was able to find brands such as GAP, Children's Place, Osh Kosh, POLO, and many more for either in exchange for some of the girls clothes that they don't wear anymore or less than 2.00 a piece. you can't beat that now can you? These aren't all of them because he has worn some of the items before I was able to get a picture of them all.
-He also got some new jammies that he wanted to wear tonight- I may not ever get them off him ;-)






boutique
I also did some actual online retail therapy for all 3 kids. Even though my mom has an emboirdery machine, she isn't that big into it yet. So I go to a friend of mine that owns her own home business doing this stuff. She just lives down the road so I don't have to pay shipping. Check out her facebook page @ Polka Dots and Flip Flops

-I spent a total of $161 (I know that's alot) but I got 5 shirts and 2 pairs of shorts for Kent, a tote basket and a beach towel for Steph, and a shirt and beach towel for Dallas. And they come with monogramming if you want.-


oh baby
On Valentines Day, my family welcomed in a new member to the world. My niece(more of like sister to me) had her 2nd child/first girl. Her name would so happen to be Kenlee Danielle Ray. She is just absolutely beautiful. I can't wait until I can go to Bibb County next month to see her. I have already bought her a few bows and a bow holder for her.

I love the picture of her sticking her tongue out. She does have her mommy's attitude!




the dress
We found Dallas' pageant dress on Saturday!!


shoes
I got me some "new" Yellowbox sandals the other day for again, a great price.



he's gone counrty
Robert got a "new" truck on Friday. I have been trying for years to get him to get a truck. So Friday night, he came home from work in this "new to us" truck. It's a '98 z71, but at least we don't have any car payments :-)




Happy Wednesday!

Thankful Thursday

Light colored wall paint. Before this color, my laundry room was Tangerine Orange. It was pretty, but not for my tiny laundry room. So with new paint and decorations, I have a "new" laundry room that is bright, cheery, and inviting. I actually enjoy doing laundry now! Oh, and the peice of wood with clothes pins on it is a pinterest find that is for lost socks.

Valetines was pretty good this year. Although I had to spend most of the morning at the doctors office, I got spend the evening with my husband and 3 amazing kids. We went to eat at O'Charleys, well because it's one of my favorite places and kids get to eat FREE! On top of that, our waitress didn't chrage us for the kids drinks, or our soup & desert upgrade! I didn't get anything but hugs and kisses and the 3 sweet words "I love you", but that's the best gift I could have recieved though.

This weekend is a 3 day weekend! I think most everyone around here is pretty excited about it. I know I am just because I have a busy weekend ahead of me that includes Saturday going to the UAB/Tulane basketball game with 3 basketball teams! I'm not sure if the thought of being around that many kids at one time gets me a little antsy or if it's the drive to downtown Birmingham in the dark not knowing where to go. Either way, it's going to be fun because I will be with my kids and they will be with their friends.

The girls pageant is coming up at school in a few weeks and we already have got Steph fitted in her dress, but we are still looking for Dallas. We have a few choices in mind for her, but finding the right color that doesn't make her look flushed is going to be difficult. We will find the right one though and hopefully they will be coming home that day with the crown!


Happy Thursday!

Today I am linking up with Jamie right here



I am loving that it is Wednesday, which means we are just a couple of days away from the weekend. I will be glad to see Friday afternoon come around bc the girls have had alot more homework this week for some reason.


I'm also loving my church family. That includes the old and new church family that I have. My new church family is showing the meaning of "pray without ceasing" or however that saying goes.


I am loving the thought that Steph is getting her iPod touch Friday afternoon. It's a complete surprise for her because she thinks she isn't getting one until her birthday this summer.


Loving my pinterest finds this week....











Happy Wednesday!!
