Marker Madness

My friend had a trunk show of her new spring children's clothes last night, so Landon I decided to go. Jason worked late so I ended up taking Landon with me. While my friend and I were talking, this little girl came up to us and said "there is a little boy in there drawing on his face", since Landon was the only "little boy" there I knew it was him. I rushed into one of the kids room's and this is what he did.



I didn't have a camera with me so we came home and took pictures of his masterpiece. The blue is from my friend's house that he got into and the red is from making valentine's day cards for grandparents.




He even managed to get some in his ear. BOYS!!


Today is my birthday and we are going to this:



Romance and Roses is an event for engaged or married couples our church hosts to celebrate love and marriage. This will be our 4th Romance and Roses. It is always around valentines day so this year it happens to fall on my 28th birthday. Jason and I are doing birthday and valentines day tonight. We are going with our small group and we are looking forward to a date night and spending time with each other.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and Happy Valentines Day!!

Birthday, Valentines and new TV

Friday is my 28Th birthday. Tonight Jason, Landon and my parents took me out to for an early birthday dinner. Afterwards we came back to our house and ate this:

(Landon and I ate mostly icing as you can tell)
I LOVE strawberry cake with strawberry icing. My mom made the cake for me and it is SO GOOD!!

These are Landon valentine's for his friends at MDO and his teacher's. Gold fish and Teddy Grahams!!


Our new TV was delivered yesterday. We bought a 47' Vizio LCD flat screen to hang over our living room mantle. We will be hanging it up on Saturday.


Every year our church host's an event called Romance and Roses for engaged or married couples. It is always around Valentine's day and this year it happens to fall on Feb. 12Th which is also my birthday. This will be our 4Th R&R. So we hired a babysitter for Landon and we are having a DATE NIGHT. YEAH!!

I will be back on Friday for a birthday post.

Bye Bye Highchair

For the last few weeks Landon has not been wanting to sit in his highchair to eat at all. He kept trying to climb up the bar stools like he was wanting to sit and eat at the island. One morning for breakfast I sat him at the table and he LOVED it and ate his entire breakfast. That same day for lunch I sat him at the table with us and again he ate like a big boy. Looks like were saying bye bye to his highchair.

First time sitting at the table to eat




Lunch time

Living room

We have completed the painting of our new living room and I received my curtains FedEx this afternoon.

Jason bought this:



to go over this:


We bought a 47" Vizio LCD flat screen to go over our mantle. It should be here and the mounting hardware this week. Hopefully we can get it up this weekend. We are possibly switching cable provider's so we might not be able to enjoy our new TV and room for a few weeks.

I had some paint left over so I decided to paint our downstairs bath with new white trim as well. Not sure on the decorating of this bath maybe instead of brown and green I will go with black, silver and green. The woman who lived here before us painted it mustard yellow with bird border (I KNOW YUCK!!) I have been living with this color and border for 3 years so it just HAD to go.

I just wanted to throw in a picture of my little man. This is all we did over the weekend since we were snowed/iced in for several days.

Snowed In!!

We have been snowed in for two days now and looks like tomorrow as well. Smyrna got 3-4" of snow and ice yesterday. Seems like every thing is closed due to the bad weather and the streets are covered in ice. Last night we had chili for dinner and today we played in the snow and took naps. Here are some pictures of us snowed in.

He had to eat every last bite

Snowed in fun!!


We tried to order a pizza for dinner tonight and the wait was 2 hours. So we cooked chicken nuggets and vegetables instead.

Hope everyone has a great snow day

Dancing Queen

My YMCA zumba class was asked to dance to 1 song at the MTSU women's basketball half time show. Of course I said YES!! We had about 40 women from our Smyrna YMCA come to dance. Zumba is a Latin dance class I have been attending for about 1 year. I love it and it's a great workout. I contribute a lot of my weight loss to Zumba. Here are a few pictures of us on the basketball court.





I had a BLAST!! I hope we get asked to Zumba again.

Not many days like today

Here is what we did today and it was wonderful

Hour 1


Hour 2


I love this sweet boy


Landon took a 3 hour nap today and this is what his hair looked liked afterwards. I just love all those curls



We normally don't get Saturdays just to stay in our PJ's and lay around the house, but today we had NOTHING to do. We didn't even get up and go to the gym this morning. I'm not even going to cook tonight. ;o) I just LOVE days like today.

Have a great weekend.
