Top Ten Tuesday!

First time participating in this one but it seems really cool! If you want to join go over to Riding The Roller Coaster and link up!

I chose...

The Top Ten Reasons Why I Love Being A Mother!

1.) Hearing Rylee say "MOM" or "MOMMY".

2.) Hearing her laugh. If you haven't heard it, click here.

3.) No matter what, Rylee always makes me smile.

4.) Rylee and I have a special bond. I'm the only one she slaps in the face and pulls out hair. It's ok, I know you love momma.

5.) I have something to look forward to every day after work, seeing her precious face!

6.) She makes Tuesday and Thursday mornings so much better, we listen to Barney on the way to the sitter's house.

7.) I would not have anyone to spend my money on. She HAS to have new shoes every other week right? And that super cute shirt matches her pink pants so well, she must have it.

8.) She teaches me something daily.

9.) She wants only me when she's sick or hurt. She loves me! She really does! :)

10.) I can appreciate my mom and how much I put her through, I was a horrible child, so they say.

What are your top reasons?

Week 1 Of This Or That?!?!

So this is the first week for This or That over at The Winey Mommy's Blog.

To play along just copy and paste this scenario to your blog then choice this or that! Ok this week's scenario is...

You show up at a party of an acquaintance. It's an evening party and you don't know very many people there. For whatever reason you decide to show up alone--and pray that your friends will indeed make it.

Would you rather show up under dressed or over dressed?

For me, I would much rather show up over dressed. For some reason I think that if you show up somewhere under dressed people look down on you like you do not own anything nice. Even though I hardly ever dress up I would try to make myself look presentable for a group of people I did not know.

Which one would you rather do??!

I Am SUPER Pumped!!!

So this pretty little thing will soon be in my backyard!!! YAY YAY YAY!!! It's Rylee's Easter present. Well I was going to buy it for her anyway but since Easter is a couple of weeks away I thought I would throw it in there. I am so excited to plant flowers in the flower boxes and play in the kitchen with her. I can't wait to see Rylee's face when she sees this!! She will be so happy!! We also got her a bubble lawn mower because the child loves bubbles and pushing things.

Then for me for Easter, we got a fire pit. Since we had to use the heat from the grill to make s'mores when Andrew was in town (that's ghetto grillin'!) we decided to invest in a fire pit. It's going to be sweet! I'll have pictures posted as soon as it gets in.

Giggles :)

It has been awhile since I put videos on here, so here are a couple of them! The first two are Rylee laughing. She fell last night while trying to go out the back door and when she fell she landed on Bella's food and water bowl and it went everywhere. So distract her, Aaron started imitating what she did. She loved it! Her laugh is so cute! The other videos are Rylee singing or playing music. We recently got a drum set and Rylee loves to sing in the mic while Aaron plays it, she likes to play too!

Now enjoy some pictures of Rylee playing with Abby last weekend. It was so nice and Rylee got a new ball so she had to go out and play!!

These are those steak and shrimp things we made the other night. Yum

Cutie Rylee!

Wordful Wednesday Hey Ya!!!

Hello my lovely friends!! I hope everyone is have a great week so far! I know I am! Today is going to be 70 degrees and sunny (after the rain moves out). Bring it Spring!

Also, I took my Western Civilization test yesterday and I'm pretty srue I passed. I mean I think I missed like 2 questions. Which is awesome considering I got a 9/20 on the last test. Yeah that is F-. I decided to buckle down and study the night before and continue to go over my notes during the day before the test, shoo it paid off!

I aslo took my midterm for my Monday night class and I think I passed that as well but that's not the good part, the good part is that I do not have class on Monday night for the next two weeks!! What in the world will I do with my life??!!! I'm excited! Class is 5-7:30 but my teacher loves to talk so we usually get out around 8:00 or so.

Over the weekend Aaron's mom and sister came in town and stayed with us a couple of days. Abby and I went to my volleyball tournament a local church. It was fun and my team came in 3rd place out of 6 teams. Half way there! Go team!

This week Aaron's brother is in town and staying with us. Last night we broke out the grill and make steak and shrimp kabobs (I think I spelt that right.) I have pictures on my camera at home. Sorry. But let me tell you, there were as good as they look! MMM Dang those were good.

Rylee played outside yesterday too. We brought out her ball and push car and ran around the yard for awhile. Our driveway is gravel and she kept bringing rocks to me. The fun never stops! It was a good night all in all.

Oh yeah, I entered in a contest to win John Mayer tickets. Ok not just tickets, but front row seats, meet & greet, and a signed gutair from him. Like we need another gutair around my house! To enter you had to tell the radio station something CRAZY you would do. Well I'm not that crazy, (right), so this is what I said I would do...

I told them that I would dress like Jessica Simpson and Aaron would dress like John Mayer and we would go to a local bar or somewhere that kareoke is offered and sing our hearts out. This seems crazy to me because I can NOT sing at all!! Aaron is pretty good so he would sound great. I thought that would be funny to see Aaron and I dressed up all crazy singing to lame songs! Well I'll hear today if I won or not. I hope I won but I really don't want to follow through with it!

AND, in about 2 weeks we're going to see Disney Princess on Ice!! Prince Charming is waiting on me!

Have a great Wordful Wednesday!!

Enjoy your award ladies!!

OK, so let me make a confession (my guilty pleaure). So I have never been into the Twilight scene and the whole Edward vs. Jacob thing. BUT I will say that I have started to read a book and I am hooked! It's about vampires. Don't judge yet!!

I'm sure most of you have heard of the True Blood series on HBO. Well that show is based on these books. The first one is Dead Until Dark and dang is it good! I never really understood the vampire idea or whatever. But this book makes it really easy to understand.

So that is what it looks like. I got it at Walmart for like 5 bucks. Not bad. If you like reading and LOVED Twilight, this book is perfect for you. Don't think I'm lame!!

Friday Follow!

I am SOO happy it is Friday!! After playing three volleyball games last night and getting beat up by my team members, (not really beat up just got hit in the face with the ball, hit my knee head on with someone else's knee, and got head butted in my arm) I'm ready for a peaceful weekend! But tomorrow I'm playing in a volleyball tournament all day! Gotta love it!

I hope you guys have a great weekend!!
