One Last Time!

Hello everyone. I am putting together an order for MaryKay this week. This is your last chance for MaryKay at cost. This is the last order I will be doing before I go. So if you would like some...LET ME KNOW!

All the same rules apply. I am selling it to you guys for the same price I pay. I make no money. NONE! Not even a penny. If you want something then go to the website www.marykay.com and look. The price you will pay is exactly half of what it is listed for retail. You will just need to add tax and then I will divide up the shipping between everyone. I need to get the order in ASAP (since we leave in 3 weeks!) so either write it here as a comment or e-mail me. Just let me know somehow.

TA-TA!

Thinking about moving brings to mind this recent picture of Samantha. Yes. Shoot me now. I hate moving. We have been trying to get things ready to go. I seriously am not looking forward to this.
If you haven't yet read Katie's most recent post, I highly recommend following her link. Talk about a weepy read. Sheesh, I cried and cried. It totally makes me grateful for my kids. So here's a recent pic of the two of them. I can't imagine life without them.
Sorry for the mushiness. Now don't go to sleep everyone. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
In other recent news, Samantha had her first taste of rice cereal. Oops! I forgot a bow. Cover your eyes!
That's much better! She loves eating from a spoon. Samantha has also recently been sitting up all on her own! CRAZY!

I Smashed My Toe



Look! Yucky isn't it? I was riding my bike last night with Samantha in the trailer behind me and Logan was riding his own bike. I was riding really slow to let Logan catch up.

There is construction on the road by our house and there is a fence right next to the sidewalk to keep people out of the construction. This makes the sidewalk really narrow.

I was stupid and being goofy with Logan while I showed him how I could turn around on the narrow sidewalk. Yeah, well I hit the bump where the sidewalk meets the grass and lost my balance, so I stuck my foot out to steady myself and my huge ol' toe caught on the edge of the sidewalk.

It is still throbbing today. This could be due to the numerous times it has been stomped on throughout the day by unsuspecting children.

VENT!

I need to vent. What better place than my blog?

Why is it that we don't help each other out more in this life? If I know something you don't know, or the other way around, then why don't we help each other out and share the information. I mean, if it has taken me a while to gather this information and I see that you are looking for the same thing I just figured out, then why not share the knowledge I have?

Is this making any sense? I am aggravated!! People are so SELFISH! And this goes for sharing of recipes (why wouldn't you want to help me be a better cook? My poor husband).

COME ON PEOPLE! Let's try to be Christ-like and stop being so rude to each other. SHARE!

I am sorry if this is offensive to anyone. I had a bad experience in a bow making forum. The ladies in there were so rude! They wouldn't share their super secret ribbon suppliers with me. RUDE! ;o)

I'm really not that upset. Just mildly annoyed. It's just ribbon after all.

Four Months Old

It's weird to think that Samantha is now 4 months old. Time is flying by. I took her in for shots 2 days ago and she is now 16 pounds 2 ounces! I was shocked. I guess she started out big though. She is also 25" tall. We love having her in our family and love her sweet personality. Sami has also just started sleeping through the night and I am in love all over again. What a good baby we have been blessed with!
