How does your garden grow?

The kids have started a garden ...

So far we have peppers

Watermelon

Sunflowers

A bunch of zucchini that we already picked! There are a few more things growing, but I can't remember what else we planted, so we'll have some surprises pretty soon! =)

Honest Scrap Blog Award

*Blushing* ... OH.EM.GEE, me?! I'm so excited, thanks, JoJo! Before I can officially accept this award, I have to pass it on to others and say 10 things about myself that not everyone knows!

1. I get really nervous when other people drive me especially on the freeway and when there is traffic! I think I need medication for this problem, hehe!
2. I've never seen most of your 'classic' movies like, Steel Magnolias! I did finally see, Pretty Woman though! Just not a movie person, I guess?!
3. I hate reading!
4. I 'wear' glasses, or I should say I'm supposed to wear glasses. I've had glasses since I was in 4th grade! Wish I could do contacts, but those kinda freak me out!
   
5. I never used to eat meat except for Chicken, but then I started having babies and wanted them to get all the right nutrients, so that no eating meat thing went right out the window!
6. Can't stand animals unless they are in a tank, but I'm becoming a little partial to our doggy!
7. I'm really shy, but wish I was more outgoing!
8. I played softball for over 10 years and I miss it lots!
9. There are so many dreams and goals I have left to pursue!
10. One more, one more ... ugh ... ugh ... I'm sleep walker and talker, although I haven't walked in my sleep since high school!

Blogs I nominated ....

I was supposed to nominate a couple more, but I wanted to give an award because I thought they deserved it, not just for the sake of giving one! ;)

Yay, I officially have my first award! I feel like I should give an acceptance speech now, lOl! Kidding!

Pop tops

I don't actually call soda, 'pop', but it makes the title sound better! Hehe! Kailee and I made a bracelet today using 'pop tops'! It's so very tween~ish and totally trendsetting [hmm]!



We also went to the zoo today, but I'm totally blogged out! I'll post those tomorrow!

I want ...

THIS

OR THIS

OR THIS

OR MAYBE ALL OF THEM, LOL!

Leaning towards the third one though! Cuteness!

Could ya . would ya . ain't ya goin

I can't...
Say the word squirrel
Stand whining
Survive without sleep
Hold a grudge

But I can...
Do cute hair do's
Text using T9 [woo-who]
Be 21 for the rest of forever

I won't...
Allow anyone to take advantage of my fam
Bungee jump
Lick my finger to clean my kid's faces

But I will...
Stand up for what I believe in
Always try to keep in touch
Always remember how lucky I am
Never let my hubster [or the forehead champs Kai & Allie] win a forehead war

I shouldn't...
Ever let anyone stand in my way
Be a people pleaser
Stress, everything always works out

And I should...
[Hopefully] finish going to school before I'm 80 [I mean 21]
Have my own reality show, haha
Win the lotto [I'll have to start playing first]
Travel the World

Happy Hump Day

Sure these will brighten your day!

P.S. I bet the boys are going to love the pix in the jeep when they are older ... hehe!

Excited or Nervous

Well, I've been super excited to go to Vegas, but now that it's almost here I feeling more and more nervous! I'm guessing it's probably because we've NEVER left the kids! They have spent the night with my parents here and there, but we were always right around the corner [literally] and it was never even a whole 24 hours! We haven't even left yet, and I already miss them, lOl! I'll be fine once we get there, I'm sure! Since we've never left the kids, this is of course the first time Ray and I have ever gone anywhere without them, so it'll be nice for it to just be us! Gotta keep telling myself that ... no diapers, no crying, sleeping in ... ok, I think I can deal for a few days, lOl!
