Tagged

Well, not quite. I don't think it's legit to tag yourself, but I'm doing it anyway. I seen one that I thought would be a good way to get acquainted. Since I won't be tagging anyone, I'll leave out the rules....

7 things.

1. I love frogs. I have a collection of frog "Quarry Critters". (Check them out if you don't know what I mean http://www.quarrycritters.com/ ) I also have a real live tree frog. He goes by the name of "Bruce".

2. I was born in Abilene, TX.

3. I LOVE reality TV. It drives my husband nuts! I watch the "Bravo"channel constantly. Some of my faves are, Real Housewives (both OC and NY), Top Chef, Project Runway, Flip This/That House, Property Ladder, Moving Up,House Hunters, Little People Big World, Biggest Loser, and now I'm trying to catch up with Jon & Kate Plus 8. The list is longer but I won't bore you.

4. I have performed CPR several times. With the use of a defibrillator I have saved peoples lives. EVERYONE should KNOW how to do this.

5. I was an art major all through high school and college. (This explains my horrible spelling and grammar.)

6. Up until this March of this year I was one member of 5 living generations. I am incredibly proud to tell people that my children met their Great-Great Grandmother, and were graced by her hugs and kisses.

7. I love to organize. You wouldn't guess this by looking at my house. I get excited when I see little containers to put things in. My dream is to have a room where all my sewing and craft stuff can be well organized and easily accessible.

Breakfast for boys

Thank goodness my kid likes eggs! He gets them often due to the fact that he is picky in the protein section of the food pyramid. And yes, he LOVES bacon. And YES, I let him have it. I'll give Xander anything that will fatten him up. With all the climbing and falling he does he needs some padding!



No, that piece of toast is not half eaten. It has been cut with my new favorite kitchen tool. A bread shaped sandwich cutter that cuts one piece of bread into two dinosaurs. I am enjoying it more that my kids right now! Don't make fun of our camo plates either. They were a gift. The boys love them, including Bob.

How does your toddler eat breakfast? Mine takes care of business. Yep, that's his phone. He talks on it and makes very serious faces while conducting business.

Benny, on the other hand goes for a morning stroll and takes naps at will.

We just continue around him. It's sure to be a short one.

My handy dandy dictionary...


Here it is. Ain't it purdy?

Hello Blogging World!

So, with inspiration from some of my new friends, here is my blog. This is a whole new world for me. Please feel free to give suggestions for content and ideas to make this a more pleasurable place for visitors. I aim to please!
I Have horrible spelling and grammar. I am completely thrilled to see that there is spell check at the top of my posting screen. I always have my trusty dictionary at the computer side for help. Granted, it is from the dollar store, but it has a thesaurus in it too. Bonus for me, because I am quite challenged when it comes to writing. I'd love to share it's beauty with you, but I have yet to figure out the uploading of pictures.=(

Okay, that's it for now. Momma duties call....
