weekend part I




It's been a very busy but fun week. Here is rehearsal for Mya's Christmas Program  at our church.

 




Nothing makes me happier than to hear sweet babes singing about Jesus.

 




Soooo we do have a Chick-Fil-A addiction don't we???

 



Ms. Matthews, Mya's teacher was so sweet by letting Emmy and David help make cookies at their Christmas party on Friday.

 



He's just as sweet as his cookie

 



Ms. Matthews 3rd grade class at CCA..

 

So I'm a copycat and took this fun treat from another blogger. They are sooo easy to make. All you need is pretzels, rolo candies and M&M's or nuts. You put the pretzels and rolo candies in the oven at 350 for about 2-3 minutes.

After you take them out just place M&M's or nuts which ever you prefer on top and hey you have and easy but tasty treat.

They look and taste awesome can't wait to share with our friends at the Polar Express party tonight. Can't wait to post those pictures. Have an amazing week sweets!!!!

Rewind it back

So this is a totally random post. This is my sweet friend Ruth. She will probably call me 15 minutes after I post this to tell me she does not like this picture. Oh well, I talk about her all the time so yes friends this is my sweet friend that keeps me grounded and is sweet as sweet can be!!!

Christmas 2009

I posted this picture of last year's party at my friend Michelle's house.

She has a party every year and she sends out an email to her son's classmates and has us all over for a Polar Express Night. What a blessing this is to all of us. We love coming together to enjoy our time with our sweet friends.

Here's sweet Dave last year!!

my curly girls

I did this on purpose because we have the party this coming Sunday and I ran into these pictures tonight.

I cannot WAIT to post Sunday night about another Polar Express fiesta!!!Mya will probably be wearing the same P.J's you know that's how we ROLL!!!HA!!!

Christmas cheer

Today was a busy day. By 9am I did most of my errands. I was sooo impressed. Three Scentsy deliveries, grocery store, met up with a friend and all before 9. WOW!!!

Mya came home with a gift for us. She is sooo sweet. She said it was from my sweet kids, that is just so thoughtful of her.

It was a beautiful ornament with a picture of my mini-me (i mean Mya)

A snowman on the back CUTE!!Can't wait till tonight. Both girls will be part of the Christmas Musical at FCCC (our church). They have been practicing sooo much and can't wait to see our family there enjoying the music and the performance.

I'm Baaacckkkkk!!!!

Scentsy Buddies

My favorite stuff!

             So sweet friends I've been sick. No really SICK. Don't know what I had but it was bad. No energy, possibly strep??, Flu???, bad cold??? These are pictures from way before my illness. I have been sooo behind.

Well my name is Scentsy!!HA! This is a pretty good size delivery last week for Christmas. Have I told you all how much I love this stuff???Probably so!!!

Sweet David getting haircut. He is soo my child!! The girls get haircuts anywhere well they really don't even get those pretty curls cut but my Dave gets the cute little haircut at the place with the movies, the cars, the train and so on.

 

Peppermint Bark experiment.

Sooo not good. My problem was the pan I used. The flavor was good the pan not so much. It was way too thick!!Oh well I tried RIGHT??

Sweet Mya helping mama!! I over did it with the peppermint too. I should have just gone to Williams Sonoma like I first thought.....

Have I told you how much I love this little man???

but I love my big man too!!!Sunday afternoon nap. Gotta love them!!

Well sweets gotta go  laundry, picking up this house, Christmas cards you know it... it's busy around here.

Mya and Emmy have their Christmas program practice tonight and a party WHEW!! I'M TIRED ALREADY!!!

going to the ball and no raisins for me....

Sooo today has been a good day so far. Excuse Emmy's unbrushed hair this morning but I had to get this picture of her eating her oatmeal.

These are the raisins she was pulling out one by one because apparently she does not dig them...

Since I have been on the phone with three of my friends this morning in long conversations they dressed themselves up because they informed me they were going to the Ball.  I love my angels they have this amazing imagination.

Emmy dressed him!!!Tie and all. I believe that tie was when he was a year old a bit short but hey it will work HA!!! We'll soon start getting ready for lunch with my sister-in-law can't wait to catch up!!!

Oops almost forgot. You've probably seen this pic on facebook and stuff. Well it was one of my favorite pictures we took at the studio and so we have made Christmas cards out of it.  They should be arriving today. I just wanted to point something out. Years ago I probably could have spent hundreds of dollars dressing the babes for that one perfect Christmas picture but we have gotten smarter (more frugal) lately.  David is wearing a hand me down sweater from his friend Chace and the girls are wearing $7 tees from Target. My whole point is the kids make the picture not the outfits. Sweet friends let me know how you have cut down your spending this holiday season I would LOVE to hear from ya'll;)))

Have a great Tuesday!!!

Where's your church located????

So these are the finished ornaments. They were so proud of their work.

David's train changed from blue to red to green!!!

My sweet Emmy and I getting ready for church this morning.

Sweet A looking so handsome. Sooo the title of this post is different. I was so inspired this morning by our Minister Ronnie's message. He spoke about when people ask him where his church is he says well????

Phyisically it is on First Colony Blvd. in Sugarland, Tx but actually my church is at a dentist office in Sugarland, a home in Greatwood with a mother getting her kids ready and dressed. It is in high schools all over the city and in Downtown, the Medical Center etc etc.....

WOW!!That is sooo right!!! Jesus wants us to be like him and we should take his message everywhere we go. Not just here at church but our schools, our work, our homes.

And so he mentioned Proverbs 11-10 When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices;

When good things happen to good people it benefits all. That is such a wonderful message. Hope you guys had an awesome weekend and will continue to have a great week!!!

My sweet friend Danette's daugher Isabela!!!She is such a precious girl and her sister is too!!!Wishing my sweet friend luck she is about to bring another sweet babe into the world!!!

Sweet Emmy being sooo good!!!Well friends this was a little random blog wasn't it????

We had a very busy weekend and back to work in the morning.

A bit messy and potty training

Sooo here is my sweet Emmy with her very cute shirt we made last night

As you can tell Mya is not wearing hers we had a bow problem but have no fear I will go to WM and get what I need to fix it.

Here's David I know he somehow always looks like this messed up hair, thumb in mouth and with his Mr. Nigh

I have always said I don't potty train my kids but then recently we realized our little big man has no interest in it. So off to WM to get him a CARS potty. We'll see how that works.

Here are my sweet girls getting their ornaments ready for painting.

Pink for Emmy, I mean what other color would this girl use????

David trying to be really careful. OY!!

My sweet Mya worried about the colors matching and if it would turn out ok. She reminds me sooo much of me.

the paint ended up on my angels faces

Angel #2 with paint on her lips. Don't laugh at her teeth.

Beautiful art work!!!Must admit it was a bit messy but what matters is that they had a blast. I did too I don't even recognize myself!!!
