HOLIDAY HAS STARTED!

 
Oh happy day! Today was my last day of work for 2 weeks!
 
Christmas Vacation has started! I am extremely excited.
 
We are heading out of town tomorrow and going to Colorado to get the rest of our shopping done. (yes I know..we are procrastinators) We are going to stay the night, and then Sunday is Pop-e's birthday! He will be turning 88! Then it's to pop-e's for Christmas. Christmas eve is my sister's 18th birthday.
 
 
So I am going to try to blog as much as possible, but it might be spotty.
 
I want to wish everyone a Happy Christmas!

Christmas Program!

 
Happy late Hump Day!
 
 
Only 2 more days and VACATION!! I can't wait. This cold is owning me for sure, but tonight was our Christmas Program for our little kiddos so that is why I am blogging so late. I wish I could have taken a video of the program because it was adorable, but we aren't allowed to take pics/videos of the kids.. (enter sad face)
 
 
My day started so nice though. One of my assistants left this on the board for me.
 
 
 
It's the little things in life that mean the most.
 
All day we practiced for the Christmas program.
 
Our program included: toddler group (18 mo.-2 1/2 years), Morning session (2 1/2-4) and afternoon (pre-k) Our morning kids sang this song too!
 
 
So cute! I did get to take some pics with my favorite toddler, Miss Slater, because she is a family friend and mom doesn't mind : )
 
 
 
Slate may have taken the one below!

 
So I also wanted to show my outfit, because I don't dress up often!!!
 
 
Overall it was so adorable! But I am happy that's it's done, its a lot of hard work!
 
Happy Hump Day friends!
xxoo

Holy Monday....Mingle...and Weekend

Hello and Happy Monday! I hope your day's have been great and not the "typical" Monday!
 
 
I am going to start with my weekend rewind....
 
 
Friday: Friday was a nice day. Work was done by one. I got some errands done, and Scott's Christmas party for work was that night. It was an Ugly Sweater theme. My uncle has this great sweater that he let Scott wear, and Scott's mom had one from high school that she let me borrow. She also still had her boots from 1970 that I wore! They def completed the outfit!
 
It was a great time, and much needed with my husband, but since we don't go out much, we were still home by 11!
 
 



 
Saturday: I made breakfast for both Scott and I, and then got super excited because pop-e was on his way to our house. He was our first guest! Milli couldn't barely contain herself!
 
We relaxed with him, and my aunt came over. We ended up all helping baby sit the twins because their dad had his Christmas party. It was a good time! I hadn't got to see them in a while!
 
 
As you can see below they now love making faces!





 
I am super excited because they will be coming to Christmas in Laramie with the rest of us!
 
Pop-e tried out my aunt's beats and I couldn't resist taking a picture!
 
 
Sunday: We all slept in since we stayed up later talking. Pop-e def got a wake up call from his buddy.

 
She knew right where he was and snuggled right in.
 
We enjoyed breakfast, but then pop-e had to head back home. I was sad, but also knew that I would be seeing him this coming weekend for the holidays! The rest of the day my cousin Courtney stayed at our house and I literally had my arm on her belly all day. I felt baby boy kick, and move. I talked to him, played him music... Loved every minute of it.
 
Milli even got in on the action!
 
 
It was such a nice day. She is so much like me and it's great to just talk with her!
 
The weekend was awesome.
 
Monday: Oh helllo..... I woke up with a sore throat, but told myself no worries, this is the last week of school. Suck it up. Well I had shown up to school, and let's just say there was a ton of situations that happened that caused for a very stressful. I had a rough day. I continued to keep feeling sick. I finally got done with school, ran to the store and was so happy to be finally home after my day..and I walked in to this...
 
 
I was not happy about the two stuffed objects she tore up, but the ink is the bad part. That was our new rug for our living room. Blue ink. I am still trying to get it out. She is still in a bit of trouble.
 
After cleaning up Scott tried to help since he knew my day was awful, and cleaned up some stuff in the mud room. Lost his wedding ring....After us desperately looking for it. I found it wrapped in a tarp in the garage he had folded up. THANK GOD.
 
But through it all, even though I am still upset about a few things that have happened, I know that there is a reason for everything. Today I think it was to help me realize how much my husband and I need each other. He had a rough day as well, and through it we just hugged, and got through it. So nice to know I have married my best friend.
 
Soooo I'm linking up for Mingle.
 
Meg's question for monday was:
 
 
What are your favorite holiday traditions?
I have so many!
 
1. We always get to open on gift on Christmas Eve. It's always a nice, new pair of pj's to sleep in. (My grandma started this tradition with my mom and her sisters)
 
2. We always go bowling/ice skating for my sister's birthday which falls on Christmas Eve.
 
3. We open gifts on Christmas Day, go to my aunts for brunch, and usually never change out of the pj's
 
4. Dinner on Christmas eve.
 
5. We still do Santa gifts.
 
I just love the holidays.

Happy Birthday to E!

 
Today is one of my sweetest friend's birthdays.
 
Happy Birthday to Erika. We have know each other for 12 years, which may not seem like a lot, but I moved a lot due to my parents being divorced, so having a friend for this long is something I cherish. We went to high school and college together. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding, and I helped with hers. I love her to death.
 
 
Happy Birthday sweet girl.
 
 








 

 
just a few : )
 
 
I am so excited. Tonight is Scott's Christmas party for work, and it's an Ugly Sweater theme, so I will be excited to share photos with you!
 
Hope you all have a great weekend :)
xxoo

2 Mondays?!? And a weekend

Hello! I feel as if I have had two Mondays in a row... The last two days have tested my patience for sure. Yesterday started with me excited as I only had 10 school days then it's break, well on my way to work my engine in my vehicle shut down 4 times, and almost caused to me wreck because it was snowy and I had several cars behind me. Stressed. I called the dealership where I got it because I only bought this vehicle in March. They didn't help much and told me to bring it to them. I informed them that I live almost two hours away, and taking it on the interstate wouldn't be happening. So I took it to the car place here which the engine shut down again..... They told me it couldn't be looked at tell today... (1st Monday). 
Today.... I was scared to drive my vehicle but had to because Scott teaches at a different school... I took back roads and I'm so glad I did because it shut down twice..... I was almost in tears.... The day seemed to follow that same tone. I got my vehicle looked at after school and something in the engine is clogged bad causing it to shut down.... So I get it back tomorrow.... (2nd Monday) 



So enough of my complaining.... Flashback to Friday!


 Friday: we decided to give Molli a shower to help with the itching she has torn up her neck and it breaks my heart. I had to capture the action....







 She loves the blow dryer so she got treated... You can see her poor neck :(

Saturday: it wasa laid back day. Scott reffed a tournament all day and I hung out with my aunt and cousin. We watched movies and relaxed. We also stopped to see these two dolls! 


Sunday: I couldn't take waiting any longer so Scott finally gave in to go get the Christmas tree. We also got one for pop-e! We drove up to the mountains which is one of my favorite places. 




And honestly I carried both trees haha, I only teased Scott a little about it. We also decorated the house..... I am so excited to have it all festive! 






The weekend was nice! I don't enjoy the 40+ mph winds but other than that great weekend! Oh I a so happy to finally be posting! 

Hope you didn't have two Mondays! 
Xxoo

A late 5!

Happy Friday!
 
It's a late post, but I didn't want to miss another day. I love linking up for 5 on Friday!
 
 
 
 
 
1. The reason I didn't get to blog yesterday is because I was a little behind at work from being sick (finally feeling human again) and I stayed after to work on my door! loved it. I found the idea on pinterest and added a few things!
 
 
 
2. Tonight I went over to my aunt's and my cousin was there.
She is 25 weeks along and having a boy. We all were hanging out and I was super determined to feel him move. I play mumford and sons (my fav) and I finally felt him move! On top of that I found out I get to be his god-mommy. One happy aunt right here!
 
 
3. I am so excited for this weekend...Scott and I are going to the mountains to get our Christmas tree. Pop-e was supposed to come and get one but the weather is supposed to snow...so we will be picking him one up. I can't wait to post pictures on here of the Christmas decor!
 
4. I am excited. I ordered my first part of my photo wall. The first picture is my inspiration. (from pinterest)
 

 
5. I want to end this post on a quote!
(pinterest)

 
Love.
 
Happy Weekend!
