too true

Why Having kids is Like Being at a Frat Party

10. There are half-full, brightly-colored plastic cups on the floor in every room. Three are in the bathtub.

9. There’s always that one girl, bawling her eyes out in a corner.

8. It’s best not to assume that the person closest to you has any control over their digestive function.

7. You sneak off to the bathroom knowing that as soon as you sit down, someone’s going to start banging on the door.

6. Probably 80% of the stains on the furniture contain DNA.

5. You’ve got someone in your face at 3 a.m. looking for a drink.

4. There’s definitely going to be a fight.

3. You’re not sure whether anything you’re doing is right, you just hope it won’t get you arrested.

2. There are crumpled-up underpants everywhere.

1. You wake up wondering exactly how and when the person in bed with you got there.

Jade's Haircut

this is Jade's new haircut, I'm not sure the pictures does it justice but essentially the cut is a super textured shag, we didn't take anything off of the length there is just a ton of razored layers through out. It is way cute!

Furry Worm

So we were at Walgreen's and they always have fun Spring/Easter novelty toys, of course I rarely go to Walgreen's so they may have fun things all the time, anyway Gemma found this little critter that she just had to have, but there was only one and Jade likes to have things be equal in her favor at all times. So tough decision, do I assume Jade also would like a Furry Worm or get her a Hairy ball??? In the end Gemma got the Furry Worm and Jade can make her own choice when I take her to pick one.

16 Years!!!

Hard to believe but it's true, James and I went on our first date 16 years ago on St Patrick's Day. Honestly I am sure he doesn't remember but then again that's for the girls to do. He was actually the first date that I allowed to come pick me up at home, I usually met my date's so that I had the freedom/ control to leave when I wanted or when I was done, which I took advantage of frequently ;-). Anyway He took me to The Pie Pizzeria, that was the "IN" place to go, & we went for a drive out to what is now called 5 Mile Pass, ironically, then again maybe not but we now live 10 minutes away from where we went.
He liked to go look for wild life,(still does) So it was pretty cool that while we were sitting there a couple of HUGE Bull Elk wandered by, with Antlers even. For me (I am not what you might call an outdoor girl) it was memorable!
Thank You for a very Memorable first date, 16 years together and I look forward to many more to come.

"He went to Jared"!!

Jade is very much a Girly-Girl, she loves jewelry, make-up, primping, dressing up cute and doing all things girl. Her Uncle John-Paul went to Jared for her Christmas gift this year and she was sooo excited to receive new earrings (she got her ears pierced last year) but not just any new earrings she got diamonds! They are just perfect and she adores her earrings!

Christmas Photos

Since we did Christmas a bit different i don't have many pictures of Christmas, the above one is at my in-laws with Tinnielle.
My mom got the girls pillow pets they were so excited, Gemma got "ling-ling" She is in love with panda's and he is a very loved addition. John-Paul gave Gemma some new dresses that are just beautiful.
Jade also got a pillow pet, a new Unicorn!
