This is my 300th post...and I have maxed out my memory limit on Blogger!  I have mixed feelings.  I have been using blogger for the past 4 years...and I'm sad, but excited to attempt something new.  We now have our own website.  It's still in its initial stages, but that is where I will be blogging from this point forward!  Thank you to all my loyal readers

Child's dream...mothers nightmare! Finally the Toys R Us has opened at Triangle Town Center..and it's very much too close to our house. Precautions will be in effect next time we are in that area. I let the girls explore the new store, and became quite overwhelmed with all the choices in toys and the racks that layered all the way to the roof full of...everything!!! Prices...haven't done much

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE when it's girls night!!! I have some of the bestest friends a girl could ask for ;-) this months challenge: the wreath!!! After some magnificent chili, corn bread and snickers salad...and a lot of patience (mostly from my friends...me...I'm still learning what this word means)...we created these super cute wreaths! Can't wait to do it again!

We joined forces today with the DWM team and Habitat for Humanity to help build a home for this family.  I have to be honest by admitting I was entirely petrified of working on a house.  Electric saws, heavy pieces of wood, nails, hammers, ladders, heights, etc.  All these things kind of scare me. But I was bound and determined to suck it up and go big...because I wasn't going

Last Wednesday night, Halloween, we pushed the pedal-to-the-medal and flew home to prepare for our night of anticipated trick-or-treating with Grandma Janice and Papa Keith.  Originally Kelsey was going to be Olivia and Ashlyn was going to be Francine...but with the shortage of pig accessories, I decided to keep them in the costumes I purchased last year.  Kelsey was Bat Girl and

Love the fall and all the festivities that go along with it.  Today we went over to the Coachman's Trail Halloween Bash and the girls had so much fun.  Ashlyn mainly walked around stealing the golf balls from the Put-Put station while saying, "Yum-ME, Yum-ME" (accent on the second syllable) followed by a quick stop at the snack table.  She's an eater!!! Kelsey was excited to

From the beginning...3 kids from daycare suddenly had a bad case of the croup.  I knew it would be a matter of time before Kelsey or Ashlyn would get it...so I was prepared for the phone call, which I received 3 days later (which was last Tuesday).  Ashlyn had 102 F fever and had to be picked up from daycare.  Being the cautious person I am, I decided to take her straight to the

As I was driving home today, I found this small little pumpkin patch by Mrs Judy's house.  Because there wasn't anybody else around...not sure why because its a pretty busy street... we really got to explore all the different types of pumpkins...bumpy ones...white ones...big ones...small ones! Ashlyn ran around most of the time, but Kelsey was quite intrigued.  After much

Using my best movie trailer voice:   "In a far-off land. Where nothing is as it seems. One toddler will risk everything To prove she can be a ballerina. That the simple act of putting on a leotard Can be done...through the leg hole."   Phew...daddy saved this little ballerina's life today!!! Not only was she trying to put it on through the leg hole, but it was

Brushing her teeth...it has to be one of Ashlyn's most favorite things to do!  When I tell her its time...she will get so ubber excited that she will run in place...kind of like a football player...with the biggest of grins and will race to the bathroom.  She only likes to do it if someone is holding her (we are working on that). She mostly chews on the

Yep...I think I finally pulled it off!  A few months ago, I decided that a surprise birthday party was a def must for this amazing man in my life.  He's so busy, but never fails to make our family feel loved and supported.  So I got busy making his invitation (totally copied one I found on pinterest...side note: LOVE YOU PINTEREST and your lovely ideas)! Lying for 2 months (which

Was reading my blog from back when I started blogging 3 years ago and came across an old memory that I would have forgotten if I hadn't written it down. Pictures say it all ;-)

Life has a strange way of bringing people into our lives when we least expect it.  These sweet little girls were born in the same hospital within a few hours of each other over 4 years ago.  We haven't seen them since...until Kelsey started swim lessons in July.  Only 5 kids were signed up for each session...and somehow Kelsey and Riley have made it back together.  They play

Ashlyn is all over the place these days...trying to hang with the big kids...trying to be a big kid. So her newest milestone (I guess that's what it would be) is climbing...up on chairs. On Sunday, as she was climbing into her standing position before she sits, she somehow fell onto a toy and whacked her eye. That makes 2 girls...2 black eyes...in 2 weeks! I'm starting to think the #2 is bad
