Conversations in our house

So these are some of the conversations that happened in our house this week.


Bella: Mommy can we say hate?
Me: I'd really rather you not. 
Bella: Well, I just hate stickers. They crawl on me, and stick to my face, and go to sleep, and don't move.
Me: Um, yeah, cuz you put them there.
Bella: no I don't.

She has an infatuation with stickers, so I'm not sure why she suddenly hates them.  She also has started blaming things she does on ghosts.


And another one, the night before the dentist appt.

Me: Don't forget you have to go to the dentist tomorrow.
Dakota: Aw man, are they going to use that gas stuff?
Me: Yes, they have to fix a tooth. Why?
Dakota: I love the gas stuff, it makes me feel awkward.

Seriously, I have no idea where they come up with this stuff.

I will get better

Yes I know, I have officially sucked at this whole blogging thing.  Well on the personal side anyway. :P  I'm going to try to get better.  So just a few things that happened last year. 

We tied the knot!

Bella Turned 3!!!


The kids started school!

Halloween!

Disney on Ice

Santa & Christmas program

Christmas.
The niece & nephews

All of us siblings with Dad except for Daniel.

SNOW!!!!! On FREAKING CHRISTMAS DAY!!!! Seriously epic!

There are the highlights! I promise I will try to be better about updating this thing. 

Best Party Ever

I just want to say thank you to our friends for making our bachelor/bachelorette party so much fun.  And thank you to Dad and Laura for opening up your house to all of us crazies.  It was a night full of laughs and fun.  Even though I was the first to take me leave and go night-night.  I had a blast.  Here are some pics of us girls. :D

The first pic is sober Trina.  The rest, well you can see for yourselves.  :P

Laura also gave me this beautiful ring for my "something old" for the wedding.  It means so much to me for her to pass on such an important item to me.  I feel so honored.  I will cherish it, and one day pass it on to Bella.  I'm so blessed to have you as part of my family.  I love you!

Something blue....

I finally got the shoes in from Converse. I absolutely love them. What do y'all think?

Does this count as a workout???

I think so!!!!  So this weekend we set out to put new flooring in our living room.  And wow, it was a lot harder than I thought it would be.  But we got it finished, and I absolutely LOVE it.  I'm glad we got rid of the carpet.

Before:

During:

Taking a break to call Grammy

Before the furniture was moved back in:

With the sofa in:

I even got my own little reading/crochet nook!!!!  I'm pretty stoked. :D

There wasn't much frustration until the end.  But like I said we're happy with how it turned out.  Now to find the energy to finish the kids bathroom.  I've been saying it's going to happen for months, and yeah that's a negative.  Maybe that's what I'll work on this weekend.  

My 6 in 6 goal!!!

So I mentioned in an earlier post that I would be trying my damnedest to makes 6 shows in 6 months.  Well......  I've got my tickets to 6 shows.

This is who the bestie & I saw in January.



There aren't any in February or May yet, but There are doubles in March & April.

We will be seeing these two great bands in March.





Here are our April Shows:

Apparently The Black Keys heard my silent pleas about playing in Dallas...  They will be here for EdgeFest 22!!!!  I seriously can't wait.  Not to mention The Features (above) will be back then too!!!!  It's gonna be a great show!



Then one of the honey's fave bands.



Just days before our wedding in June we'll be seeing Foster the People with Kimbra & The Kooks.




So all in all, I'd say that about covers my goal.  Now Gym Class Heroes needs to hear my mega loud pleas, and come to Dallas!!!!

Wedding things

I have found everything I need for my veil. I'm thinking Bella will be wearing a birdcage veil too. Maybe on a headband????
