Who Dat?

Who Dat? My girls and I were so excited to watch the Superbowl yesterday not because it was football but because the Saint's logo is Fleur de lis:) My girls and I love anything Fleur de lis so we decided we needed to support this amazing team by decorating some shirts. They each decided on a different color that coordinated with the Saints team colors. They also added a little bling-cuz' they are obsessed with blinging:) Of course, the game was fun to watch but the commercials were even better-one of my faves was the Go Green Campaign by Audi. HYSTERICAL! I missed the Betty White one and the Oprah one but heard those were good too. The Saints story is an inspirational one and I am so glad they won the Superbowl:)

We got our t-shirt turtorial from this amazing website: Thanks Amazing Mae:)

2010 Word

I'm back and really trying to honor one of my resolutions this year-blog more and blog stalk less:)

Last year, our family word was HARMONY. I loved the concept which I stole from ali edwards and other bloggers. I would have to say that posting our word in a frame on our mantel DID NOT bring more HARMONY into our abode. With three girls, there is a lot of cat fighting so maybe I should have tried reverse psychology and chosen the word DISCORD:)

I'm trying it again this year and for me I wanted to focus on having more JOY in the mundane. Finding JOY in the everyday minutia of emptying the dishwasher, doing laundry, making lunches, cooking dinner, driving to piano and waiting for an hour, driving to sporting events, participating at the kid's tennis lessons, etc. Finding JOY is a realistic goal and one that I hope will get me to focus on the true JOY in life-FAMILY:) So here we go 2010:)

I even anticipated this word because our Christmas card spelled out

J-O-Y:)

Look who turned double digits

My middle child is 10! I can't believe that she is in the double digits. Here are TEN things that I love about Addi Moo:

1. Her tenacity-she sticks with something until she can figure it out.

2. Her intergrity-she is so honest that she will get into the car right after school and blurt out something that she thinks she did wrong.

3. Her kindness-she is so kind and tenderhearted towards others and she has a soft spot for the underdog.

4. Her dedication-she comes right home and wants to get her homework done early and wants to earn all "4's" on her report card.

5. Her free spirit-she loves to sing "Opera" around the house and loves to try new things.

6. Her perseverance-she preserves every day with her diabetes and I admire her for that.

7. Her smile-she has a smile that lights up a room.

8. Her love of hair-she spends more time on her hair than I do getting ready. She will be a perfect hairstylist when she gets older.

9. Her drama-she is dramatic in the most loving sense of the word:) One day she will earn millions putting this talent to good use:)

10. Her snuggliness-is that even a word? She is a great snuggler and I cherish that time with her at the end of the day:)

She wanted to have a late over with her buddies so here are some pics from that party.

Sorry for not blogging for a while. Happy New Years! Hope you all had a safe, rested week! For one of my new years resolutions I want to blog more and keep my readers more interested!

Biggest Loser

So my new favorite show is BIGGESTLOSER.I loved the two Tongan guys, Sione and Filipe. I also liked the father and son, Ron and Mike. So Sione, Filipe, Mike, and Ron made an agreement to not vote each other off. This past week, Ron and Mike called Filipe a liar, and the agreement was knull. Ron also said to Filipe, "I wish you would just roll up and die." That threw me over the edge. But they took it well, especially since they are Mormon. I was so mad when Sione lost three pounds, and Ron and Mike were smiling. Isn't this a game to lose weight not make fun of other people? Sione has lost over a hundred pounds and today wasn't his day and he was sent home:( So I put a poll to see how many people like Ron and Mike or Sione And Filipe. Please vote!

I am finally posting again!!

I am trying out my new signature thanks to Taylor!!
