Getting to know YOU!

1. Would you rather bungee jump or sky dive? In my opinion there is no difference between the two, ha! I wouldn't do either.

2. When using a public restroom to you squat over the seat or sit? I've been grossed out by public restrooms for as long as I can remember..I usually either have Clorox wipes or baby wipes in my purse so I wipe down the seat and if there are toilet covers I lay one of those down!

3. Favorite flower?

4. Pedicure or manicure? hmmm..I love acrilyics but I do love me a nice relaxing pedicare resulting in nice feet and toes!

5. How many siblings do you have? 2 younger sisters.

6. Do you pee in the shower? (gasp!)I have done it, as I am sure EVERYONE has so don't lie! ha! No, but I usually go potty before I get in the shower..just thinking about taking a shower makes me have to go! :P

7. Bikini, tankini, or one piece? oh gawrshhhh! Sadly I will never be able to wear a bikini again, my children have clawed and destroyed my best asset, my tummy. I have to stick to tankini's here on out. And that's brave just putting on one of those! :P

8. Where do you hate to shop at, but go there anyway? Walmart. I use to work at a law firm and most of our law suits were against Walmart, it was unbelievable reading about some of the incidents and I told JJ we will never give them our money anymore! So now we don't do our grocery shopping there but we do go there for our products..cleaning supplies, diapers, etc. Only because it's twice as much at our grocery store.

"Take my hand - take my whole life too,
For i can't help falling in love with you."(He burnt me a love song CD when he asked me out! ha! Anyways "UB40-I can't help falling in love with you" was one of the many songs on there and kind of became our song!

So..I was going through my emails earlier and came across JJ's folder...there is about 60 emails in there! I read this one again today and it just melted my heart..I miss reading these emails from him when I got home from school in the afternoon or when I would sneak on the computer on 2am to chat with him on MSN Messenger and hope that my mom wouldn't catch me..resulting in getting my computer privileges taken away! :/




Court,

If u'r serious on what u jus wrote me in that e-mail bout how u wanna be with me and all, then I think I should tell u this, I feel like I am ready to mellow out and be with the one that I will marry soon, I feel I need to do this because I am so close to bein out in the world discovering new things and frankly I don't wanna be alone..... As of this moment in tyme, where I stand at..... I feel as if u'r the one I want with me goin over seas and to different places with different people and seeing what only u'r wildest dreams could carry, exotic islands and great countries all around the world and I would luv to bring my kids with jus kuz I didn't get to go when my step dad when he was in the Marines and I was very disapointed in that matter, but I need to know if u want to be that person, that person that would dedicate her life, luv, and well being towards me as I would do the same. Court I really care alot for u in such a matter that I've never felt this way towards another female in my life and I can only hope u feel the same, if u do and we stay together for tyme to come, I will be that person that will get down on my knee and ask u to marry me, I will give u and me the greatest kids we could ever ask for, I jus thought I might tell u how I feel about our relationship, this was suppose to be if all goes well, believe me I haven't felt like this in all my years, let's put it this way, "I feel great when i'm around u and even when I think of u". That's all I have to say so please write back.

Nothin but Luv, u'r Romeo

Yay Yay


Awwwwww, brings back soooo many feelings from the past!
LOVE IT!

Toothless Taylor!

Other than a dimple in a cute little chin,
What's more adorable than a toothless grin?

The girls had spent the night at my mom's house Saturday night while JJ had some guys over for a poker party and I went to a friends house.
I received a phone call at about 1am, it was my mom saying I needed to pick up Piper..she was screaming and wanting to come home, so we just went and brought both girls home since my mom lives 15 miles away.

We got home around 3am..the girls were wide awake and weren't ready to go back to bed...grrrrrrr. So we sat up watched some TV, ate a snack..and Taylor decided she was sick of that tooth just dangling in there and being a nuisance so she went and got a Kleenex and pulled that toofer out!


I seriously have never seen her more proud, look at that face! Red and all! ha!


Rinsing it out..the blood was a little worry some for her!



...Awwwwww, look at that proud smile! :)
Her adult teeth already grew in behind her bottom baby teeth, which was scary at first but I guess it's slightly common..it's called "shark teeth." So she really doesn't have a toothless grin yet!


We wrote a little note to the tooth fairy...and she must have lost some of her fairy dust onto the letter...it was all over the place! :P

Not me Monday!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

My children have not been soooo well behaved lately and this mama is not going crazy, of course I can keep my cool and just shrug off and ignore all tantrums and attitudes!

It was not my 5 year old daughter whom came running up to me with a bloody mouth and a tooth in her hand, my little oumpa would not be that brave to do something like that, not my child!

My little turkey was not sitting on the couch with daddy watching shows with him when suddenly she secretly reached in her diaper and pulled out some poo and handed it to him, him not knowing what she had her hand, ha! Not our little Piper, she knows better then to play in her diaper and hand the present to daddy!

My sas a fras did not just come in the house from school, drop her back pack off and run back outside saying "mom, I'm going sledding, I'll be back!" not my child, she knows she has to ask before going anywhere, let alone me having to go with her to the hill!

...She comes inside and does not track in about 10 foot steps of mud, not knowing she's doing it and does not say "mom, look my boots are muddy!"
Which I did not scream "throw those outside NOW!!!!!!!!!!

Ughhhhhh...my children would never act anything like the above statements, nope not my children!

Salmon patties.

..My family is extremely picky when it comes to what they eat...well just Taylor and daddy. Piper and I will eat just about anything! ha!
So, a couple years ago I first tried these salmon patties and they were a major hit..one of their favs. so I tend to make these about once or twice a month.
Which is nice to get some omega 3 in their diet! :P

Here's what you'll need..

First off let me start by saying, I kind of just made these ingredients up myself, just a bit and I don't measure anything! So I will try my best to give approximate measurements!

*canned Salmon(1 can makes us about 6 patties)
*saltine crackers(about a whole sleeve of crackers, finely crushed
*eggs(2-3, whatever your preference....sometimes I use 2, sometimes 3!)
*mustard(ummm..maybe like 2tbs.)
*garlic(I use 2 cloves, that's because garlic is like my favorite vegetable!) :P
*dried onion(you could use regular onion(yellow) but I like Tone's dried onion for a fish dish)
*salt & pepper (for taste)

-Mix all the ingredients together and make patties out of them, like you would to make hamburgers.


-Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

-Heat up a frying pan with oil or butter, whatever your preference.

-Place patties in pan and brown for a couple minutes, until they get a golden brown color, and little outer crunch to them.



-Then place them in the oven on a cookie sheet and bake in there for 20-30 mins.

I made homemade mashed potatoes, rice pilaf, and sweet peas with the salmon patties for supper tonight. MMMmm..all such a fav. around here!

...seriously..they sat in the kitchen the whole time as I was making supper..it really is their fav! They were like little puppies, begging for food! :o)


And I would like to give a special thanks to my photographer, Taylor...for helping mama in the kithchen! XOXO.

Five Question Friday!

It's Friday! whoop! whoop! Again, I have sooooo much to do this weekend, well all tonight actually! JJ decided to invite over 15 guys for another poker party, which is nice for him to get some "man time" but I feel like I have to be a mom to these guys...making them food, picking up after them..ahhhhh, MEN!
And JJ works this whole weekend, so we need to find the time to grocery shopping...he needs to come with because he would never trust me to do it by myself...haha, I wouldn't trust myself either! ;)
There seriously is not enough time in the day for a mama!



1. Have you ever hit an animal with your vehicle?
I've never ran over an animal myself but have been in a vehicle while others have numerous times! I'd have sooo much guilt for the rest of my life if I ran over and killed an animal..or I'd be thinking is it suffering...I'm such a compassionate person, over the littlest things!

I usually just pull them off, same with tags..I'm too lazy to get the scissors! ha!

4. Would you rather wear the same thing for the rest of your life or eat the same thing for the rest of your life?
...That's a toughie! Well actually...no it's not! Who am I kidding..I love food wayyy too much, I would much rather wear the same outfit everyday!


5. What was your favorite TV show as a child?
My mom didn't allow us to watch TV a whole lot...BUT I do remember watching Saved by the Bell A LOT...that's what I looked forward to most.. coming home from school or watching it in the morning while eating breakfast!
