Day 47--Camouflage or Pink/Purple Day

Today they got to choose between camo or pink/purple. Well, even though Lauran's daddy is a Marine and an avid hunter, she has no camo, but she does have plenty of pink and purple.

Day 46--Favorite Character Day

Today is Favorite Character Day and Lauran chose to go as Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)....although I hope she doesn't decide to sleep in class today.

Day 45--Crazy Hair Day

Today is Crazy Hair Day!! WOW!

Day 44--Pajama Day

It's Spirit Week this week at Lauran's school. They are doing this in support of Relay for Life. Today is Pajama Day!!!

Day 43--Sweet Strawberries

These are probably my all time favorite fruit. I love them. I am trying to eat healthy now days and I could probably eat my weight in these. My children love them too. Especially Lauran. So, I took some and washed them and put them on a plate for her with a bowl of sugar...mommy didn't have the sugar though and she went to town. MMMMM.......the sweet red goodness!!!

Day 42--ALOT BEHIND....

My life has been a little crazy the past few days. I haven't had time to sit down and do the blog. I haven't given up on it, even though I am sure my husband must think that I have. I am jumping back into this...full force. I have alot of things to write about, so I am looking forward to getting caught up.

Day 41--Women's Ministry Spa Party

I go to an amazing church with amazing women. Last year, a few of us ladies decided we wanted to start a women's ministry and get together monthly for a devotion, mission and a little fun. Last night we had a spa night and talked about the virtuous woman. I feel as though I have alot of work to do to become that kind of woman. I am doing pretty good, but I have a long way to go. So, one of the games we played was a blind makeover. Me, being the crazy fool that I am, decided that I would play guinea pig and get my make up done by someone who was blindfolded. Prior to this game, I had my makeup already done, so I had to go and remove it all. I don't normally like the way I look without makeup, but I thought this was a pretty good picture.

Me and my makeover partner, Deanna

Day 40--This Man Is My Forever!!!

I am truly the most blessed woman on this Earth. I married my best friend and the love of my life. This man is truly my FOREVER!! I love you Daniel!

Day 39--Little Fashionista

My 6 year old has decided that she wants pictures of all her outfits....heehee. I used to buy this child nothing but Gymboree. She has now decided that she has enough Gymboree and wants some other kinds of clothes. She still likes Gymboree but likes other things too. Did I mention that my child looks just like her Daddy? Craziness......looks like he popped her out instead of my. So, anywho....outfit 1 is compliments of Justice and outfit 2 is compliments of Old Navy!!! I think I have a model on my hands....or maybe she is just a little ham.

Day 38-- My Crazy Kids!

I love my babies!! They are my entire world.....even on the days that they drive me nuts!! I love to catch them playing together nicely...........even though those moments are few and far between because of their age difference. We were all outside playing the other day and I talked them into jumping off the deck so I could get a picture. Well.....I guess their faces in the picture shows just how much enthusiasum they had.....lol. I guess they get their adventurous side from their Daddy.

Day 37--Jumping For Joy

So, we got the mass communication call today to stop sending mail to our hubbies because it would be redirected back to the states. WAHOO!! This call means that we are one step closer to our homecoming. I am so excited and so ready to see him. YIPPEE!!!! I just want to jump for joy!

Day 36--Shutter Speed

Photography is probably one of my most favorite things to do in my spare time. I like to take the most random pictures. My favorites are the ones where the person is not paying attention and I catch that moment. Well, I have been trying to figure out how to get the shutter speed on my camera to take action pictures without making them blurry. I finally did it!! My cousin Jason was my model that day and this is what we did..........

Day 35--A Little Behind

So, I am a little behind on my blogging. My computer crapped out on me the other day and I have been super busy and just haven't had time to do it. So, with that said....stay tuned for the newest photo blogs!!!!

Day 34--Frustrated...GRRRR!!!!!

The picture should sum it up pretty well!!!!

Day 33--Is It Over Yet???

I am so sick of this deployment already. All I wanna do is wrap my arms around my husband and never let him go. I can't wait until I get that phone call with the homecoming date and time. I know that it is right around the corner, but jeeze...hurry up already. I miss my husband and I want him back now. I am ready to see my kids happily and anxiously awaiting the planes on the day of his return. I can't wait to see them run and jump in his arms and say Welcome Home Daddy! I am ready to fall asleep and wake up next to him again. Praying for a safe and speedy return. I love you husband!!!

Day 32--Soccer 2011...Go Little Heat!!

Soccer has officially started for the 2011 Spring Season and my baby is a Little Heat this year. She played her little heart out today. She only played defense in 2010, but this year her new coach wanted to let her play both offense and defense and she did an amazing job at both. Sitting on the sidelines....all I heard from other parents was that she was so good and she had a leg on her and some awesome kicks. That's my baby girl. I sure wish that her Daddy was here to see her play. I can't wait until the fall season when he is able to be here to watch. She is gonna be a fantastic soccer player if she keeps this up.

Day 31--At A Stand Still At The Bottom Of A Mountain

I close my eyes and try to picture it. Try to picture me. The way that I want to see myself in a few months. The sad part is.....I am so far from that picture. It isn't even close to being within reach. I cry about it and I get mad about it. I scream and I stay silent. I am at a stand still and I can't seem to find the drive or the will. It has dissappeared and I am constantly trying to figure out a way to get it back. I feel like I am at the bottom of a mountain and my goal is to get to the top. I want this so bad. I think that I want it more than I have wanted anything in a really long time. I want to be proud of myself. I want my husband to be proud of me and to be smiling from ear to ear when he walks with me or when he introduces me to people. I think I just need a good swift kick in the ass to get me back on track. Maybe just maybe......I can only hope and pray that I am able to accomplish this. I am going to work very hard at it and in the end when it is all said and done, I will be able to look back and say.....See....I told ya so!!!

Day 30--Tanning Rocks!!

After only 2 visits to the tanning bed, I can already see a difference. I love laying in there to tan....not only to get dark, but it is the most relaxing 15 mins of my day. AHHHH!!!!
