Grins, Giggles & Chaos!

I {heart} these girls!

Yep, that's right! It's National Margarita Day. Who even knew this existed? Now, I love a good margarita. I like both frozen and on the rocks. If I have frozen, I ALWAYS order a strawberry margarita.....on the rocks, I order the original. Why? I'm not sure. ;-) So, which is your favorite?  Frozen?  or on the rocks? Since it is National Margarita Day, I may have to  break out the margarita machine! ha! Go! Go have a margarita and enjoy! 

That's what I said when Rylee first asked me to go see Justin Bieber's movie. ha! What did we do tonight? We went to see it. . . . in 3D, of course! I am not a fan. I keep asking myself, "how do you make a documentary of your life when you're only 16?" He hasn't really lived yet. The movie was made well, but it just proved that he's still a kid. . . . a kid in a GROWN UP world. Remember Leanne Rimes? Making records at 12 or 13. . . . she grew up too fast, and look at her now. I hope he can continue a life of success, I really do.  I just wish he'd slow down a little. {that's the mom in me speaking} BUT, Rylee doesn't understand all of that yet. She just enjoyed seeing his movie.  She thinks he's cute, and I guess at 5, that's all that matters. ;-)

I decided to participate in this weeks Show Us Your Life: Beauty Secrets.  I don't have many beauty secrets, but I will show you some of my favorite products. First, I use Aveeno Baby as my shower gel. It makes your skin so soft and it smells great.  Not to mention, it's cheap!  I wash my face with Dove Soap and use good ol' Oil of Olay for my moisturizer. I've used it the majority of life and probably won't change. I love it!!  For my make up, I use M.A.C. I love their products. My favorite is MAC Cremesheen Glass. Unlike most lip gloss, it WILL NOT stick to your hair. ha! It's fabulous!! Now, for my hair. I have curly, thick hair that is unruly. Seriously, it is OUT OF CONTROL .  I use Moroccan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner. It makes my hair feel so soft and silky and it smells great! Love, LOVE it ! I pretty much blow dry and straighten my hair everyday. It's a chore. {I CAN'T wait to get the express Keratin Blow Out} To straighten,...

Landry Cate, you are TWENTY MONTHS old today!  I know I say this every month, but seriously, where did the time go? It seems like just yesterday you were a teeny-tiny-baby! Today, you are my feisty 20 month old! You have the most, hilarious personality. You LOVE to put on a show. The more we watch, the funnier you are. It's hilarious, for sure! You are talking up a storm.....most words we understand, but there are a lot we have no idea what you are saying. ha! You still go to KDO and love it. You have learned so much. I am so happy I decided to enroll you, it's been great. They teach you one sign {language} a month and you seem to catch on pretty fast. You also love your teachers, Ms. Lindsay & Ms. Kristi, and you LOVE all your little friends. Sometimes when I pick you up from KDO, I stand at the door and watch you play, it's my favorite thing to do.  You are starting to play with your big sister more. {when she allows it - ha!} And also, you have been playing with...

Howdy y'all! Well, it snowed and we've been stuck at home for days. {it feels like weeks} If you know me at all, you know I DO NOT like to be stuck at home. I have been going stir crazy the past few days and the kids have been bouncing off the walls!! Tonight, I made Kasey take us out to dinner and Target. . . . only to find out Target was closed! GULP! So, we went to Walmart instead. It wasn't too terrible bad....we were basically the only ones in there. ha! ;-) Anyway - school is out again tomorrow and it will probably be out Friday as well. {sigh}  I may have to take these kids to Chuck E Cheese tomorrow  to let them burn off some energy!  Enjoy a few photos of our snow..... 

Saturday, Rylee had her first dance competition. She was SUPER excited. {and so was I} Back track for a minute.....  On Wednesday, I took Rylee to the doctor and she was diagnosed with strep throat. We got some antibiotics and she was back at school on Friday. Saturday morning around 2:30 am, she woke up with a fever. Gave her Motrin and within 45 minutes it went from 102.8 to 98.9. Saturday morning I woke her up, did her hair & make up and we were out the door, ready for her dance competition. I could tell she didn't feel well, but she wanted to dance anyway. We get there, get dressed and she danced her first dance. I changed her into her second costume and as we were waiting in the dressing room for the next dance, she vomits. EVERYWHERE. Great! I take her to the bathroom and one of the dance moms {who happens to be a doctor} came to check on her and told me to take her home, give her more Motrin, let her nap until the next dance and she should be fine. We did what she sai...
