Be Prepared: Next month is my Birthday month!!

Just so that my little blog-o-sphere knows...
next month is.....





MY BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

yes ...i take up a whole month!

So I thought now would be a pretty good time to start making my birthday list....I made one last year...but then forgot that I had when I was bombarded with the question "What do you want?"
When I get asked that question...I automatically freeze like someone just asked me to make the most important decision of my life.

Well....this year....I will remember...and I will have a list ready
in face
I might make copies and hand it out to all my family and friends!!

yes
i think i will!

Alright enough wasting time....lets get to it!!

I have always wanted an outside patio! I don't want anything grand and fancy...just some small tiles that me and my husband can put down to make a little area for outdoor furniture.

So there is two things:
outside patio tiles

outside furntiture

Then I wouldn't mind having new pots and pans....my husband won't buy me stuff that I use around the hosue for my birthday..I have to pick something "for me"...but I'm the only one that uses those dang things!!

and to go with my new pots...I would love to finally reach a decision about how I want to decorate my kitchen...so i think maybe a gift card to somwhere might work...

Then I want some nude shoes (NOTE: be careful when you put that into Google to search...not good for children)...but hopefully you all know that I mean nude COLORED shoes....
like this:

last on my list for tonight...
is a digital scrapbooking software .. I love to scrapbook..but getting out all those little pieces and setting up my layout just right is to much work for a two year old to run in and destroy 45 minutes of planning and thinking in 2.3 seconds....so I figured i would go digi!! and I am so super excited...if i get none of these other things....i really hope I get this!

Now...I know what your thinking...
hmm..not alot on her list...


I'm not done!

I am done for now...because it is way way past a little girls bedtime and tomorrow at school is movie and popcorn day...so we need our rest!!


to be continued............................

Alot of updating

Here are some pictures of some events that happened while I was on my bloggy hiatus(aka..getting redy for preschool graduation)...ha ha!
I crack myself up!

I just love this old picture of Gregg and I ...this is when we were still dating. It was Christmas time at his mom's house.

Here are a few pictures from Easter...Miss Lyla got four Easter Baskets.
One from Nanny Norma
One from Nanny Carol
One from the Easter Bunny
and one from mom and dad!!
Can we say S P O I L E D!!!

Here is Lyla trying out a new ice cream shop in town .... I think she approved!

We had to doggy sit for a few days...it was so cute seeing Lyla with a puppy...but oh bless her heart we dont' need a puppy...This is Lyla and Trixie.

This is my view at our dinner table...and I love it! I especially love hearing her say her prayers before we eat. What a blessing!!

First 3D movie!!

Gnomeo and Juliet...very cute movie...very cute little girl!!

I actually enjoyed it...about 15 minutes in Lyla took her glasses off

Rainy Day...Supper was Arby's!

OMG..please don't look at the DISASTER behind her..but this is her new way to dress up like a princess...don't we all wish we could pull something like this off!!

At Nanny's house watching Spiderman 2...Lyla kept calling him Snowman

ha ha

I don't think Spiderman would appreciate that!

Alright....supper is done cooking...so I am off to say our prayers and eat....then I might be back with some more catching up!!

I WUV my new look!!

I love love love it!!
I love the little girl up there...
I love the memories
I love it!

I love that the girl and I are both wearing white shirts..... sorry that was my OCD checking in!

I am so excited to get back to blogging...

Blogging means editing my pictures....
which means i have to take pictures...
which means i need a new one so i can take good ones...

ARE YOU GETTING THE HINT HONEY???  (just in case my husband is reading this)

Well it is already way later than the time that Lyla is supposed to be in bed....(bad mom moment)....
So I just wanted to pop in and say HI!

and will be here tomorrow...

I think I got something about organzing floating in my head to post about tomorrow!!
and of course some LONG OVERDUE pictures!

Lyla started summer preschool!!

Wednesday Lyla started summer preschool with me!

She is going where I teach now and I have to admit I was truly worried how it would all work out. Would she cry every time she seen me or heard me? Would I want to check on her ALL DAY? Would she like it? Will she have fun?

I guess the usual "Mom worries"

I do have pictures of her dressed in the morning and on our way out the door but at the moment she is playing on my Iphone ...so I can't get to my pictures on my Iphone...

Thank goodness that she has Ms Jennifer...I love her! She is nice but firm. I like that! And she has a smaller class. I was really hoping that Lyla would have her so she would have all summer to get used to such a big place before Big school starts in August.
(In August..she will be in my classroom...ha...we'll see how that works out!)

She is the only little girl in her class...but she has a kitchen and baby dolls so she is good!
The first day we had a bounce around...what an awesome first day! She did great! I checked her through out the day and it never bothered her...she would just tell me that she was having fun!

I was secretly jumping for joy on the inside!!

Today we had cotton candy..I think she was the only kid in the whole school that didn't want to eat it!

So far So good!!
I am so excited!!

Maybe tomorrow when I can sneak my Iphone away from my two year old I will upload pictures!

So excited for Summer!!

I hate hot weather!
I hate sweating!
I hate sun burns!

but I am so excited that it is summer time...

Summer time means relaxing...

We start our summer program at school tomorrow...no more hammering letters and numbers on little kiddos...now we get to play and have fun! So exciting!! I know we already have bounce arounds scheduled...cooking days...bike days...craft days...movie days...yay!!
And starting this summer my little Lyla is going to school with me!! This could be a good thing or a bad thing...but I am excited and so is she!

Then after work and school we can go HOME! and actually have some kind of after school routine...clean up the house...cook supper...play outside...bath and bedtime! I love love love routines...and here lately with Lyla staying up at my moms..it has been hard to have any kind of routine.

It is actually past nap time at the Brewer household so I am going to lay Miss Lyla down for a nap then come back and start catching up on some blog reading...posting some pictures...and setting a plan for some major fun this summer!!

So glad to be back!!

Have you heard??

Have you heard of the new updates to Blogger....????
I am so super excited!!!

Zero

Zero!

That is how much time I feel like I have had to sit down and actually be able to think about a blog post!

I had a little event going on with Lyla's preschool...every day i would drop her off she would scream.
I know ..I am a preschool teacher myself...i know that there is a transition time...i know it takes kids a little while to get comfortable with thier surroundings..but something was different. Lyla talks very well and she would flat out tell me..."mom, i dont' like that playground, i don't like that teacher, i want (my old teacher) back and i don't want to go back"
What do you say to that?
I kept telling her that she will get used to it..and she will love it even more than the baby room...
but after a good amount of time ...she would still scream in the mornings...something just wasn't right in my heart and gut to make her keep going.
Obviously something wasn't right with my moms gut either because she called to tell me to take her out until I can enroll her where i work at and she would watch her in the mean time.

so i did

but now after work i have to drive an hour to my moms to pick her up and of course we spend every moment we can at nanny and poppa's house so we don't usually leave until dark...long story short....i don't see my house in the daylight!

But...in June!
In June...Lyla will go to school/work with me..and after work...we can come HOME!

I love her having time to hang with grandma and grandpa though!!

so now it is the weekend..and i am sneaking a few minutes to update....because we fixing to head out to look at a house in the country...
that we can't afford

but praying that if we are supposed to have it....
God will work his miracles.

if not...
i like our house

i would prefer not to move

but for some reason i keep looking down that road everytime i go get Lyla from moms

and i just keep thinking about it...

so we are going to look....check it out

pray

and see what happens.
