Finally Get Caught Up!!

So we have been quite busy the last couple of weeks. First we had a retirement party for Matt's Uncle that we went to. The weekend after that Layne and I went up to the cities while Matt went deer hunting. This past weekend was spent being lazy. Plus Layne has had his first cold...a doulbe ear infection :( So besides all of that I haven't had a whole lot of time to post pictures.

Layne at daycare one day a couple of weeks ago. He just loves being on his tummy!! (Note: I know his outfit doesn't match. He was being a "fireman" while Grandma changed his diper and peed all over the onesie that he did have on. lol)

Wedding Story...

As I am up early this morning, while Layne is obsessed with trying to roll over. ( We haven't slept much since he has been trying to roll over). I found the clips from the news story that Kelo did on our wedding that I thought I would share with you. (Note: I look like complete shit in the video)

My Weekend Plans......

So this weekend I'm going to "attempt" to accomplish some things. I hope to organize the kitchen as my cupboards are a complete mess and i can't find anything in them. (oops!) Matt and I are also going to clean out both of our vehicles as they look like bombs have gone off in them. And for the best part of the weekend...We are going to go see the movie W, which I'm very excited to go see. It looks like such an amazing movie!! I'll have more about it later this weekend...

We're on a Roll Now!!

A little over a week ago we finished landscaping. That however was not the only project we were in the process of doing. We have had our ONLY bathroom torn up for over a month!! At last however it is FINISHED!!!!!! I am so excited!! The walls are painted, the new tub is in, and the bathroom door is finally on again! The only thing left is some trim!! I can't wait to be done with all of our projects. The last thing we have left is the hallway floor needs to be finished. Then our whole house will be complete!! yay!!!

Landscaping

I finally got around to taking a few pictures of our recently completed lanscaping project. These are only pictures of the front of the house because I was too lazy to walk around the whole house and it would of been very repetitive because it all looks the same.

Wedding Pictures...

So I was going through the photos on my computer and I found my wedding photos. I thought I would post a few of my faves. Enjoy!!

Yay for Skittles!!

I love how my dress is blowing in the wind!
I absolutely loved how the cake turned out!! It was truly amazing!!!

A long days work....

I don't know what was with all the daycare kids today. They sure were naughty!!! Jack was into kicking and biting. He also discovered that if he takes some of the toy buckets out of the closet that he can crawl into the closet and hide. I had to crawl into the closet after him a few times!! Tyler would not listen at all today. He especially wanted nothing to do with cleaning up. Instead he tackled Jack and kicked him in the nose. He got a long time out for that one! I absolutely love doing daycare but it's almost hard to believe how naughty these kids can be sometime! On another note, Layne is getting pictures taken tomorrow! I'll post some of his pictures once I get them back. I know they are just going to be adorable!

Organizing My Life...

The past couple of weeks I've spent time trying to organize everything...from the house to how I do things in general. I've come up with the idea of making a menu plan each week so that I don't waste so much time trying to figure out what to make every night for supper. Since I started this blog I thought I would share my menu plan for the week.

Here it is:

Monday- Beef Taco Bake
Tuesday- Scalloped Potatos and Ham
Wednesday-Savory Pot Roast
Thursday- Chili
Friday- Ravioli Lasagna
Saturday- (lunch)- Taco Baked Potatos
(dinner)-Sloppy Joes and Cheddary Pouch Potatos
Sunday- (lunch)- Homemade Pizza
(dinner) Chicken Noodle Soup

Planning what I'm going to cook every week helps me keep better track of what I need at the grocery store. Then I'm not running around the store trying to figure out what I need. Needless to say it makes shopping a lot faster which is a good thing since I absolutely hate grocery shopping!! I've also started using the online bill pay system that my bank has to pay all of our bills. Let me tell you it is amazing!! So much quicker than having to make tons of phone calls to pay all of the bills. If anyone wants any of my recipes just let me know and I will gladly give them to you. I'm also open to any new recipes so if anyone has any good ones let me know...

Thank God for the Skid Steer....

This weekend we spent it landscaping around the house. ( Or should I say Matt spent the weekend landscaping...I spent it watching Layne and doing laundry.) If it wasn't for the skid steer we rented Sunday afternoon, the landscaping would NOT be done. The landscaping turned out great!! I will post a picture of it later for everyone to see... Matt and Layne in the skid steer.

Sunday Fun or maybe not so fun...

We are in the process of landscaping around the house. Let me tell you it is alot of work, even if I haven't helped a whole lot. (Someone has to watch Layne.) Anyways this morning I thought I'd bring Layne outside for a little bit while Matt was getting ready to start working on the landscaping.

Matt took a little break to pose for this picture with Layne. Aren't they cute? They almost have matching sunglasses.

He's trying to be just like daddy! So cute!!

Hopefully we won't be landscaping forever...as we have other projects to work on too, like finishing our bathroom that is torn up.
