Thanks Stacy!

I was nominated by a friend and fellow blogger, Stacy for the Liebster blogger award, this is for new bloggers who inspire, and I have been challenged to a few questions from Stacy.. So here you go!

1. What do you consider the most extreme thing you have ever done?
I would have to say the most extreme thing I have done is become a parent, I mean your thrown into this "extreme" lifestyle and you know nothing about it until you actually do it, but like in all good extreme activities your adrenaline kicks in and you go into survival mode. You basically do what you have to do!

2. Name your favorite band or singer.
To royally embarrass my husband I would have to say it's a toss up between, UB40 and Michael Jackson, haha.

3. Name your favorite song.
I mean Red, Red Wine obviously, that or Dirty Diana.

4. What would you do with a million dollars?
I would definitely give money to all my peeps so that we could hang out together without having to worry about money, what's fun about having all that moolah if you have no one to hang with and spend it with!

5. What did you make for dinner last night?
I made San Francisco chicken, corn on the cob, and peas, the chicken is my hubby's fav. and it's super easy to make, which is what I'm all about these days.

6. What is your favorite color?
My favorite color would be blue, although if you asked my mother according to my wardrobe it would be gray, black or white..thanks mom.

7. If you could live anywhere, where would you pick?
I would live somewhere in the south, anywhere that is a quaint little town with awesome food and the weather is nice almost year round, I love seasons but I dread the cold more and more each year.

8. What's one thing you hope to accomplish before you die?
One thing I hope to accomplish before I die would be to have a house full of kids/grand kids and tons of awesome family traditions and memories. To me there is nothing better then a bunch of wild kids running around the house and lots of yummy food.

9. What's one thing you hope to accomplish before the day is over?
Definitely it would be vacuuming this house, shew the dog hair is never ending, and I'm OCD about it at this point.

10. What's the last book that you read?
Sadly, I have not had a ton of time to read even though I love it, so the last book I read was one to Harper, "The girl who wouldn't brush her hair."

11. Why did you start blogging?
I wanted to be able to do something that was for me and I could take a little time of my own to work on something that was fun and I could reflect on memories, what we were into at that time, and other cool aspects of our life.

Thanks for thinking of me Stacy, this was a fun blog post for sure, and got me using my brain! Be sure to check out Stacy's blog Life in the Fast Lane,  Here!

Baby + Boots

We are going strong almost a month in with Crew, and it seems like he has always been here, he fits right in! Even though he must not be aware of how his family likes to sleep, but we will let him slide--well maybe only for another week or so we need our sleep..Harper helped pick some of her own back to school clothes, and my girl has style. She definitely knows exactly what she wants and that includes, dresses, dresses, and only dresses. She is not a pant girl, which is fine by me dresses are easy and super cute. Not to mention she has some of her mother's high dolla taste because she and her cousin both agreed they needed "tin" aka "twin" matching hot pink ugg boots. So obviously, we couldn't let these fashionistas down. They will be rocking their twin boots in the two year old preschool class this year! Enjoy.


He's Arrived!

To give a brief summery of the last month in our house, it goes a little something like this, nine months pregnant, a month of kidney stones, a crazy two year old, sleepless nights, and excitement as we waited for our sweet, sweet boy. Even with the last month being a little bitter, the sweetness that arrived on July 22 made up for it all. To say the three of us are obsessed would be quite the understatement. Russ, Harper and I are over the moon for Crew, and we did not know what we were missing without this perfect boy. Harper has been completely in her element, as she tells people "you can just hold my baby, because he is mine." We knew she would be a great big sister but we didn't know she would be this great, it's amazing to see her face light up every morning. As soon as her eyes open the first words out of her mouth are, "where is my brudder, I need to go kiss my brudder!" This little man is well traveled and he has probably been more places then most 40 year olds and he isn't even a month old. We don't let giving birth slow us down in this house, no sir! We were able to have the baby on a Tuesday, make it to the zoo by Friday, the last night of the state fair on Saturday, newborn photo shoot and roughly 25 restaurants in the last two weeks. Russ and I are trying our best to wear out all our little people, so we can have a little shut eye at night, although the littlest hasn't caught on to our antics yet! We are doing our best to make the best of what is left of our summer, as our favorite girl Nana returns to work, and Harper starts nursery school we are looking forward to fall. Crew has fit right in to our brood, and we are happier than ever. So pardon us while we brag over our favorite boy!
