HOOOOOOOOO ARE YOU?

I found this super cute blog while looking for a new blog design and I thought I would play along with her. I hope you will play to!! It is fun to get to know eachother!


1. What is the most physically painful thing that has ever happened to you?

When I was about 7 I decided to be a stunt dare devil and show off to my little brother on my bike. I was wearing mind you only my swimsuit and I rode my bike to the top of the hill by our house. Then as fast as I could I rode my bike down, then put my butt on the back fender of my bike and put my feet on the handle bars. WOW, what was I thinking?!?!?! I flipped my bike and my mom had to bring me to the hospital. I don't think I rode a bike for a VERY long time!

2. What would you name your next child or if you don't have any your first child?

I don't know if I can handle anymore children. But if I was to have another and the baby was a boy it would be Aiden William or if it was a girl, Hmmm, that is a tough one it of course it would have to be an a name.

3. If you could add one feature to your car, what would you choose?

A built in DVD player. When we travel it is so nice but using the portable one is a pain but it works. If it was buily in it would be so nice!!!

4. If you named your house (or car or computer) what would you name it?

Perfection!!! I love my house so much!

5. What is your dream occupation?

I love being a stay at home mommy but my dream would to be able to open a scrapbook retreat / scrapbook store / coffee shop.

Miscellany Monday (or my day of randomness)

Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters

ONE - Family time - We have a family tradition every year around Halloween we get together, carve pumpkins, roast pumpkin seeds and just hang out. This year Zander was so cute and wanted to do everything himself.  It was so much fun!!!

(This was the best picture we got as a family)

TWO - Oral-B Professional Care Toothbrush - We got new toothbrushes this week and all I can say is WOW, WOW, WOW!!! I have never been a fan of brushing my teeth but I LOVE this toothbrush!! I know it really sounds silly but it has to be the best tooth brush I have ever used and the cupcakes even love using it!!! MY TEETH FEEL OH SO CLEAN!!!!


THREE - My guilty pleasure of Fall, can you guess?!?!


YES, Carmel Apples with chopped walnuts!! Every year we make them as a family and they are oh so YUMMY!!! They are all eaten up, I think we need to make more!!

FOUR - The change of seasons also mean the changing out of clothes in the cupcakes dressers. WOW, having 5 now means a lot more work. I also need to change out sizes too, they seem too be growing so fast and everything we have been pulling out does not fit. I pulled out a long sleeve shirt for Zander and it was size 18 to 24 months not sure how that happened. HEHEHE He now wears a 4, I guess I better get to work!!

FIVE - Did you know I have a scrapbooking/Craft blog I share all of my fun creations?? Click HERE to go to my other blog. Oh and I have an Etsy to sell my creations too. Click HERE to go to my Etsy store if you want.

Five - I am so far behind in my scrapbooking I need to get on the ball and get busy in Zander's album!! I really want the Boys will be boys Cricut Cartridge before I start back up though. I am praying I can finds it for an AMAZING deal!!


SIX - No school today, I am trying to figure out what else we can do?!?!?! They have played games, musical chairs and now I think they are off to play McDonalds. I was thinking maybe a little later a craft and starting there Christmas lists. Did you see the cute Christmas notebook I made for my sister in law??


Happy Miscellany Monday!!!

About time I catch up!!!! (Photo Overload)

I have missed you all. As I was talking to my parents the other day, I had a revelation. My parents actually check my blog and I also realized I have neglected my blog long enough!! I love how blogging makes me feel connected in some way to my family and friends. I did not realize how much I missed it and all of my sweet blogging friends till yesterday. I just kept putting my blog on the back burner and making excuses, so enough excuses. I want to keep my blog as updated as I can and share what is going on in our little lives with all of my sweet family and friends!!

First lets start with pictures October 2nd (better late then never) from Zander's 4th Birthday. We went out to eat at the Olive Garden, Played Chucky Cheese, opened gifts and just had a very FUN FUN day!!!!

Birthday Morning, the sweet birthday boy trying not to smile. We have a tradition in our house, they get to pick what they have for there special birthday breakfast. This year Zander wanted a sprinkle donut and chocolate milk. He was so cute he just sat there. I asked him are you not going to eat your donut and he said I am waiting for my chocolate milk.

He got lots of cards and money for his Birthday. This card he got from Grandma and Grandpa Burton had super cute Toy Story stickers and he loved them!!!

His card from Grandpa and Grandma DeMar was almost as big as him and he loved it!!!

Zander opening his gifts from Aunt Melissa and Uncle B. Cowboy stuff and the girls love playing with it to as you will see in the next picture.


Silly fake smiles at Chucky Cheese and is sisters and Daddy playing games behind him.

After lots of fun but we are missing Alyssa in this picture. She had gone ahead to go get seats at Olive Garden so she missed out on the pictures.

Olive Garden

The silly 4 and yet again missing Alyssa.

Wow is it hard to get a good picture of all 3.

I think this one is my favorite.


Just had to share this sweet smile.

Happy Sunday!!!!

Miscellany Monday....

Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters
1. Fall or Autumn - How every you want to say it. It has to be one of my favorite times of the year. I have always thought summer was my favorite season but I think I love Autumn even more. Not just because it is the name of my sweet baby girl but because of the crisp air, the beautiful colors, the smells (pumpkin spice and fresh air from the windows being open) and of course homemade carmel apples, YUM YUM!!! There is something about the windows being open and the breeze through the house after being closed up all summer in the stuffy house with the air conditioning on. And those colors of fall, my FAVORITE and wow my new Pumpkin Spice Latte's, Oh so good!!!


2. I spent most of the weekend making hair bows. I think I forgot how much work they are but I do love creating them!! I am still in the process of finishing them. I am hoping to have some of them posted for sale on my etsy store and to have some down town to sell by Thursday. That is my goal for the week.

3. Autumn is crawling and sitting up..... She is crawling sideways, backwards and almost forwards. She can get wherever she wants and wow does she love the tile. She is sitting up when she wants too. She really has a mind of her own!!  It is so fun to watch her and each an everyone of my children grow and change everyday..... I am so in love with my beautiful children!!!! God has truly blessed me!

4. Coffee, Coffee, Coffee.... WOW how I love the taste of you!! Going to get another cup!

5. I just realized I never posted Zander's Birthday pictures. Oh you have a lot of pictures in store for you tomorrow. I can't wait to share so I will just share one of my sweet 4 year old opening his beloved gifts. I need to bring him birthday shopping this week. He got money for his birthday and it is burning a little whole in this little mans pocket!! Trains, leggos, cars, clothes, puzzles, dino's, what will it be?????


Happy Monday sweet blogging friends!!
