Sisters! Sister!

I'll sing to Belle and Whitney at times "Sisters, Sister. There were never quit devoted sisters!" from White Christmas! (My favorite Christmas movie of all time!) But I'm so glad they have each other. 'Cuz trust me, life is harder without one. But with all that love comes a little bit of hate! LOL Belle over all is great with Whit but she'll have her times of hurting her. I'm sure you've seen it in pictures already (Vacation for instance). I should have know better then to try and do it on my own, but I need photo's of the girls together for the grandparents. I got all of two, one horizontal and one vertical. That was it out of the many others. Belle didn't want to sit with Whitney or even just still, she didn't want her in front, she tried squeezing her head off, and any other excuse she used it! Well just look and you can see it really wasn't any fun!

The Krazy Coupon Lady!

Yes you've seen them on TV and NO I'm not that bad but I'm couponing!! I tried to coupon about a year ago and it just didn't work. I had no idea what I was doing and like an idiot I tried to do it on my own! Then about April for some reason I was bored and Googled coupons! Low and behold there is so much information on the world wide web about it! I did see one of the Krazy Coupon Lady's on the show and looked them up. They're awesome! I started small like they say and now am proud to say I think I've converted!! I'm still a little shy when it comes to Kroger but over all my shock pile is looking great! Belle is even excited about it! When ever I tell her we are going to town she'll ask "To coupon mommy?" She wants to help cut them. Maybe Santa will put kid scissors in her stocking! More cutting More coupons!! LOL I did add a photo display on the left side of the blog. Whenever I do a great trip I've been documenting it with a photo (that Belle just has to be in! She's so proud too, it's precious!)! Everyone can come and see I'd love to show you may saving!! I should add that Blake is so supportive of this. If you know Blake he's supportive of any saving of money but more then that I think he sees how much fun and love I have with it!

And NO I am NOT buying things I don't use! We are trying a lot of new things with it. Like the huge Indiana Popcorn that I got for $0.99 (family bag)! It's awesome! And I've taking the pictures with my phone so the photo's might not look as good.

First Big Hawl!

Remembering 9/11

I can't believe that ten years has gone by that fast. It's also hard to look back and see how much in my life has changed in those ten years! I graduated from high school and college, meet the love of my life and married him, bought a house, and became a mother to not one but two beautiful little girls!! It only makes me more excited and nervous to see what God has in stored for me in my next ten years. But today I am remembering what happened that day ten years ago! September 11, 2001 was a typical day for me. Taylor and I were driving to school. We were right by the jail turning onto the road that is the ramp to get on the highway there at Farmington Rd. and the radio said that a plane hit the world trade centers in New York City. I was a little freaking out and Taylor was like "where's that??" "The huge, tall towers in New York!! Idiot!" When we got to school the second plane hit and that's when I know it wasn't an accident! National Geographic had a great series on Remembering 9/11. It had from former President Bush's and Rudy Gullian's point of view from their day and other things that were quit interesting to me. To look back and see how I changed from that day and now to see other peoples stories and how I can put a face with a name of some one's loved one who was killed that day has forever changed me. I would be going crazy if I was talking with Blake knowing he was more then likely going to die, then to see the tower falling knowing he's gone and there's nothing I could do. I couldn't be there holding him or going with him. I'd go crazy!! I still really can't understand how someone, who has never meet you, would hate you so much as run a plane into your work and want to kill you? I think I'll never be able to rap my head around that kind of hatred!

So today I look at my beautiful family, give them all a big kiss and an "I Love You!!", and remember how precious life is. How quickly it can be taken from you. And remember those beautiful souls, the brave firemen and paramedics, the Innocent victims in their offices and on the planes, the brave that fought and gave their lives after, and know that God is good! God is great! And I'm incredibly blessed!

Family Night

These are just photo's from a family night we had. Our family nights consist of us staying at home and just playing around. Nothing to exciting just being with each other! Blake loves to tickle Belle or hold her down to make her laugh! She hasn't laugh so hard she's pee-ed her pants, not yet at least! And now with Whitney crawling all over the place it's a busy house. The photo's of Whitney are like picture by picture of her pulling herself up. The photo's were taken right when she started pulling herself up, so she was still getting the hang of it. You can see how she had to work at it! But now she's up and down like crazy!

8 Months

Little Whitney really isn't little anymore! She is getting so so big! She will pull herself up, crawl like crazy every where, and has two teeth coming in! YES! Two teeth! She knows how to get mad and let everyone know she is but is so loving will also give you a kiss! She's just like her sister a big lover! The photo's were really taken at seven months but she really hasn't changed much! LOL
