Looking good! (or at least try to)

So recently I have decided that I need to dress a little better, more like a girl so to speak. No more jeans and t-shirts and flip flops :( I sure do love my flip flops! My awesome friend Carla has also told me that I should try and dress better(in a nice way though!) so I am trying to take her advice. I feel like all I do anymore is shop though!! I mean don't get me wrong I LOVE to shop, but now it's a little different when I go shopping cause I'm looking for clothes I wouldn't normally look at or I would look at them, but not think about trying them on! I am stepping out of my comfort zone a little bit, TRYING to step out!! So I have bought some cute clothes lately: a purple pair of skinny pants which are SO cute, a couple of plaid shirts, I totally love plaid and am so happy to see plaid in stores again, it's been a while, some leggings, last year I so wanted to wear leggings, but I was WAY too self conscious about them, I got gray, blue and black, and I also bought a really cute dress. The dress I bought I can wear with or without leggings! So enough about what I've bought now I have to WEAR them!! Till next time!

what up!

Audrey finally had her first soccer practice tonight! This was supposed to be her third practice, but they kept getting rained out!! SO this was the first night of practice AND the first game is THIS saturday! Crazy, I know! They did add one more practice for this friday evening just so they can get to know each other better and figure out how to play as a team! Audrey really needs some practice, she has fun, but she doesn't GO for the ball. I think since this was the first time they all interacted with each other she was a little shy, so I think she will get better!

Anyway! I totally need to be a little more, well a lot more outgoing or I may never meet anyone special!! So there was a cute boy at church this past sunday and I should have said hi or how's it going or something! Guess what? I didn't, because I am what you may call an introvert, I always have been especially around boys! I can talk to the other sex after I kinda get to know them a little better. If I'm just thrown out there I tend to clam up or just try and blend into the wall or something! I have to say it is one trait about myself that I would LOVE to change! So about this cute boy, I had a crush on him when I was younger and he is still so good looking! And from what I hear he is single too! Whatever, I just couldn't make myself say hi! I mean he doesn't even really know me, so why would I just go up to him, my former crush, and say hey how's it going?! Not that he is the ONE for me or could have been the ONE for me but I blew it, I just could have practiced talking to a cute boy! OH AND I even dressed pretty Sunday! I actually had on a cute dress, which if you know me does not happen very often! Okay I think I've vented about how crazy shy I am enough! So now I have to try really really hard to climb out of my clam shell and just speak!!
So that's what is going on inside my head tonight, sorry it is a little middle schooly(is that a word?) but I do need to vent and get things off my mind sometimes!
Later tater!

Introducing my new niece Franchesca!

Weighing in at 8lbs 4ozs and 20 3/4 in long! She is such a pretty baby, and I'm not just saying that because she's my niece :) she really is! Mom and dad are doing well and the little sis is doing well so far, she likes to hold and kiss "her baby"! My brother has such a cute family, it's hard to believe he has 2 girls now! I'm happy with my 1 girl, I can't imagine having 2!

Pretty girl

Samantha and her girls!


So this one I played around with on photoshop and I really like it!


I played around with this one too and it looks pretty good if you ask me!

So I went on a little trip to a little place by the name of New York last week with my bestest friend Carla and her children! I had a really good time there and can't wait to go again, hopefully next time us ladies can go with no kids! Or with the kids again, it doesn't matter to me! I had planned on posting about it and posting pictures, but the baby came along and so I may not post pics of the trip. Anyway I had fun seeing what parts of the city we did see and meeting Carla's family, I know she may not have enjoyed herself as much as me, but I'm very thankful that she asked me to go with her! Thanks friend!
Till next time-

Don't know what to do?!

VBS started tonight and I have nothing to do! How sad it is for me to have no idea what to do for a few hours without my lovely child! So tonight I'm going to go eat with my folks and maybe try and update my blog with pictures! I know I will at least go eat, may not get to updating the blog with lot's of pics, but I'll put a few on here. Oh yeah, I do have to shop for my baby girls birthday, it's this weekend!!!

We finally got a picture with the sign!!


Audrey and Eric in the water at metcalf bottoms.


Audrey looking kinda goofy.


Another kinda goofy picture of Audrey.

So there are a few pictures to enjoy! Post more later!

Been busy!

I promise to update my blog sometime soon! For now I'm just going to say I have been working everyday all day, 9-5! I really want to go on a vacation!!!

Just some photos of recent weeks!

Audrey and Penelope "cooking" together. Whenever pops comes over she always wants to "cook" with Audrey. It's something that Audrey started with her and she loves it! They get bowls, cups, spoons and use water and soap to "cook"!



The Goodes were in town for a short time, so we went to dinner with them one evening. Audrey and Simeon are so cute together! Audrey has ALWAYS loved being with him, and he is always so sweet and nice to her. Whenever they come to visit those two act like they've never been apart!



Audrey with Kelly. She still loves "her Kelly". That's what Audrey always called her!


The gangs all here!


That's it for now!

I can't wait for MY love story!

Ok, so my friend Carla told me about this site The Pioneer Woman. Well on her site there's all kinds of stuff to read and look at. There's also a love story about how she met her husband. I started reading it last night and I want me a cowboy now!! I have to say there is something about a cowboy that is a little sexy. Maybe it's the tighter jeans, the hat, the boots, I don't know, just something about them! There is a guy I see at lunch at least once a week and he is def a country boy, wranglers, boots, big belt buckle, big truck! He's also not bad to look at! ANYWAY, you got to go read it! I've not finished it yet, but I will. So until I get my own love story I will just read everyone elses!!
