What I Wore Wednesday!

This is my first time joining in! Okay I wasn't too good at this. I only got one outfit this week! Ha! What can I say, I love my sweatpants & t-shirts!!! Plus I felt weird taking pics of myself and I really don't have one of those fancy shmancy cameras either. So here goes nothing...

 Shirt-Catos free from mom, tank-Walmart $1, jeans-Levi's free from sister's friend, shoes-flats from Walmart $3, bracelets-from A Quarter to Ten (local shop) $1.50 = $5.50 for whole outfit!!! Can I get a "High Five"?!

Love the flowers on this shirt!!! I'm linking up over at Pleated Poppy! If y'all are here from there thanks for stopping by and hope y'all take a look around! Happy Wednesday y'all!!!

My Birthday!

Yesterday was not only Friday the 13th, it was my 32nd Birthday!!! Is it weird that I'm really enjoying my 30s?! Ha! We decided not to do any thing too big, we just went out to eat.


We went to this new spot over by the house called Beyond Burger. It's kind of like Fudruckers, but the burgers are waaaaayyyyy better! I got the bison burger and it was delicious!!!


My friends Amanda (who got me a cross & little sign, love it) & Adriel met us up there too. It was so nice. After we ate the boys played arcade games and we just sat around and talked. Poor Justin, he had to endure girl talk and miss the Rockets game all at the same time. Wow he really must love me! Ha!


After dinner we came home. The boys (big & small) played xbox and I played on Pinterest! It was a great birthday!!! Hope y'all have a great weekend!!!

Need a Laugh?!

Let me tell y'all what this lovely momma did last night...

After dinner I decided to make a batch of Triple Chocolate Chuck Brownies. Sounds good right?!

Well I mixed everything and called the boys into the kitchen to lick the beaters & bowl like I normally do, and that's when Ethan said, "Mom this taste funny." So I dipped my finger in the batter and...OMG...Gross!!! I recognized that taste...I had mistakenly added used grease instead of vegetable oil to the brownies. YUCK!!! I had to dump the entire dish down the drain. What made it worse is that I didn't have enough ingredients to make another batch. My crew was not happy with this momma!!! Luckily I had a stash of candy to make everyone love me again!

Hope y'all have a great Thursday!!!

HATtie's Party!!!

This Saturday night we had my birthday party. It was sooooooooooo much fun. It was a "hat" party and everyone was supposed to wear a hat.


My favorite was Justin's brother Tony's. He got it in Galveston earlier that day!!!


So many of our close friends and new friends came to celebrate. It meant so much to me. I even got some really great gifts. There was some really interesting dancing going on and a ton of laughs!!!


I've had a pretty amazing birthday this year. I am loving 2011 so far. I can't wait to see what the rest of the year will bring. Hope y'all had an amazing weekend and happy Monday!!!

More Birthday!

Yesterday was my birthday and we went out to eat with my mom and step dad. We were going to go to Gringo's, but ended up going to La Brisa's (I like their mango margaritas better).


My mom had three gifts for the boys to give me. I got a jacket, necklace and some earrings. It was so sweet.


I also got a beautiful card and some money from my mom!!! My best gifts this year were... a yellow ring Jaxon gave me (which he found on the playground at school), Jonathan doing amazing at his basketball game, Evan not throwing a fit (ha!) and Ethan telling me (just out of the blue) that I was a good mother! He just melted my heart!!! God Love Him!!!


I had an wonderful 31st birthday. Now I can't wait to have my "hat" party tomorrow! Hope y'all have a great weekend!!!

It's My Birthday!!! Ha!

I think 50 Cent said it best...

"Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go shawty
It's your birthday
We gon' party like it's yo birthday
We gon' sip Bacardi like it's your birthday..."

Insert Margaritas where it says Bacardi! Ha! Yep that's right it's my birthday and I'm the big 3-1!!! Lawd I don't feel that old. Tonight we're going out to eat with my mom & step dad at Gringo's (my fav Mexican restaurant). Saturday we're having a "hat" party at the house (hat b/c of my name, clever right?!). I can't wait to see what everyone wears. Hope y'all have a great Thursday!!!

Sniff, Sniff

Well this is not how I wanted to start the New Year!!! I've had a cold since Sunday and it just seems to be getting worse. Poor Evan has it and I had to keep Ethan home from school today too. UGH!!! At least I was able to get the Christmas decorations down. Every time I start to feel better and try to do something my head starts pounding! This ugly snot monster that has taken over my house needs to leave!!! Hope y'all are having a better Thursday than me!!!

Birthday Weekend

Well my birthday was back on the 13th, but my brother in-law and his girlfriend had a party for me at their house this past Saturday! We had a blast! They made me some cupcakes...They looked so yummy, but I forgot to have one.


They got me a little birthday headband with candles on it, but it was a little to small and started to give me a headache so I had to take it off!


They also got a foam finger that everyone took pictures with.


I got some cute cards and a beautiful necklace from our friends Llyod and Adriel. Adriel told me Lloyd picked it out himself. Ha!


The best part was that after everyone sang me happy birthday (luckily the house didn't burn down w/ all those candles) they all attacked me with silly string. I even woke up the next morning with it still in my hair!


Thanks everyone for an awesome 30th birthday!!!

The Big 3-0!!!

Yesterday I turned the big 3-0!!! I'm sooooo excited to start this new journey in my life. When my sister called to wish me happy birthday she asked if I felt older. I thought about it for a minute and told her, no, I feel smarter! ha! My day was amazing except for one thing...

It start out with Jaxon telling me happy birthday, but he couldn't tell me what he got me for my birthday. I told him it was okay because it was my birthday. He said no that he couldn't tell me because he didn't get me anything!!! I did end up getting something from Justin...


They were beautiful and smelt lovely!

I made pot roast with mashed potatoes and we all sat at the table together to eat. It was so nice. Then for dessert we had cupcakes that I made. Yum!

Jonathan then called me to wish me happy birthday and to let me know that they had won their basketball game. Oh how I wish that he was here with us. That would have made my day perfect!


Right before bedtime Jaxon gave me my gift from him. He spent a lot of time trying to come up with something all day.


I got earphones and a flashlight. What more could this mother want? But then he had to come to me and explain that he had to take back the earphones because they belonged to Ethan. Oh well I was happy with my flashlight!

Now about the one thing that went wrong... the toilet in the boys bathroom is clogged. The only thing we can figure is that someone under 3 feet flushed something down it, but no one will confess! Well I'm off to battle the stinky toilet!
