We baked Santa's cookies and made Jesus a birthday cake. We had to be at church by 6 o clock! The day wasn't as rushed as I thought it would be. I even got a little nap in there somehow! I had planned very well and had gotten things done before we left.<br />
Cassidy helping with the sprinkles on the cake:<br />

I want the kids to understand that Christmas is also a time to spend with family. As they get older, I want them to understand the importance of getting and being together. So, I reserved a room at the Omni Hotel downtown. It was beautiful. Unfortunately, Cassidy ended up feeling sick and throwing up once. But, after that, she was feeling much better! We started off the night by taking them to the hotel and surprising them. They had no idea! We let them know our plans for the evening. We check out our room and then went to the mall. I loved that the hotel was connected to the mall. We didn't have to go outside nearly as much! We ate at the Spaghetti Factory and checked out the Christmas lights downtown! We told the kids we could go on a carriage ride, but they didn't want to. So, we headed back to the hotel and went swimming! That was their favorite part! We went to sleep after milk and cookies. I hope we can do this every year before Christmas. It was such an awesome evening!<br />

I really miss coming here and going over my days! We have been busy with so many things and getting so much accomplished. I am hoping that next year will be a fun, stressfree year! We have done so much remodeling and just getting this house the way we want it and updated a bit. We also hope that it will make it easier to sell when the time comes!<br />
So, here are some pictures to get everyone updated!<br />

I would love to live in a small town with lots to see! We live on the edge of the city, so we see both worlds. I would rather live a little further out. <br />
Our town has some awesome things going for it, but I feel it doesn't get noticed. This past weekend, they had an art fair! It was nice to walk around and see all of the people mingling. There was even a booth set up with what they want for the town. It looks fabulous, but I think it will take a long time to get there. We probably won't be here that long. But, they are finishing an awesome trail that we will get to run and rides bikes on! I can't wait!<br />

He has been asking for a guitar for awhile and Toys R Us had them on sale a few weeks ago! Jaden used the money he got from helping Jeff awhile back. He was so excited! We are hoping to get him into some lessons soon. If anyone knows of someone in the Indianapolis area, please let me know.<br />
So, here he is with his guitar:<br />

We finally got our fence and we love it. It has the look that I was really wanting. It took the guys 5 hours to do it and we are just thrilled that we didn't have to do anything. We are so used to doing everything ourselves. It was nice to have a break and have it done right! <br />

I hope to post more on all of the projects that are going on. Today, we took a break and saw Toy Story 3 today! It was awesome! I cried so hard at the end. The did such a great job with that movie. We felt that the 3d really wasn't needed in this movie. So, save yourself twelve dollars and go with the basic movie!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

I really can't wait for some 75 degree weather again and dry grass! I have been so busy getting things done around our home. We are almost done with school. Jaden has to finish his Spelling and one book he has been reading. I can't wait until we officially begin Summer Break! I am also looking into some preschool curriculum for Cassidy. What is your favorite?<br />
Jeff will be on vacation next week and we are already getting our calendar full. We have several things planned! <br />
-our new fence will be installed on the 30th<br />
-shopping with a friend on the 29th<br />
-Creation Museum<br />
-Zoo<br />
-Toy Story<br />
Those are just a few of the things we have talked about. We are unsure of what we are going to do to celebrate the 4th. Jeff is working and it will be on a Sunday. I hope we can find a way as a family to enjoy the holiday. Also, Jeff is going to start traveling more for work. He will be gone in a few weeks to Philadelphia for 7 days. We are going to miss him so much. I really need to get some things planned for that week!<br />
All in all, our summer has started out wonderful.LeeAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10647105175843558260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080976886262560471.post-25528836359571674882010-06-15T15:07:00.001-05:002010-06-15T15:08:19.348-05:00Summer!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>It feels like Summer around here! It has been very warm with several pop up thunderstorms. I love those kind of days! Our family loves a good thunderstorm. Even Cassidy begs for lightening. I love to light the candles in hopes that our lights will go out.<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So, inbetween the rain, we have been having some fun. We made it to the Talbot Street Art Fair and PBS Kids in the Park on Saturday. The kids had a great time. It was very warm. I am just so happy to see the kids have such a good time. Cassidy got her picture taken with the Cat in the Hat! They also enjoyed some ice cream and some role playing.</div>Pictures from the weekend:<br />

I think I was the last one on Earth with "just a cell phone". I did not have any email services or web browsing! Everyone couldn't believe when I would tell them I didn't have a phone. I pretty much just gave it up the past few months. What is the point of having a phone when it's not cool? Oh yeah, emergencies! </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So, I told Jeff I wanted the Sanyo Incognito and................. he delivered it! Woohoo! I am so excited. I love everything about it. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UT0ofq20INo/TAsEnzFOBhI/AAAAAAAAEjk/TLPkbpox_Zc/s1600/phone.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" height="112" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UT0ofq20INo/TAsEnzFOBhI/AAAAAAAAEjk/TLPkbpox_Zc/s200/phone.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Of course, I am now hooked on texting and checking facebook. But, don't worry, not while driving!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Tomorrow, we are headed to my parent's house to celebrate my dad's birthday that was last week. They were in Myrtle Beach for his birthday! I am sure it couldn't get any better than that!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">We have a very full week next week. Monday is dentist appointments, Wednesday we might have a playdate, Jeff is off Friday so we can get our new air conditioner. We will also be dropping Jaden off at a campground to camp with my mom and dad. He is really looking forward to this. We are praying that the rain stays away!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Ack!<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I have been slowly gaining some of my weight back. I knew this would happen. I have been feeling very down and I seem to find comfort in food. We have also had a lot going on, and that makes being creative with food seem to never happen. So, there has been a lot of ice cream and pizza going on here. I haven't had much time for exercise either. Which, probably leads me to feeling depressed. I know that when I am running and being active, my mind feels better. So, starting tomorrow (June 1st), I will be active and aware once again. I really can't wait. This is something I need for myself. I want to be the best wife and mother that I can be. I can't do that when I have extra weight on me and when I feel bad about myself. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So, with that being said, here is the plan. I am going to start on my very own cereal diet that got me down 80 pounds before! Well, it got me started! I didn't do it the entire time, but it kicked off my weightloss. I will be eating cereal for two meals and having a decent dinner. This also means that I will have pizza, if I would like, for dinner. I never try to avoid the things I like, that leads to my downfall. For exercise, I will stick with what I love. I will be running and doing yoga. I really like Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper's yoga dvds. Those will really help!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So, I am going to treat this as if I am starting over at the beginning. I want the same feeling I had when I was 247 pounds! I knew I had to get the weight off. So, I want to go into this with the same frame of mind.</div>On to family news:<br />
We finally got a playground. We have been waiting to find one at a good price, and we think this one will do! The kids are so excited. <br />

So, it is time to get serious for the rest of the year. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I just bought this:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UT0ofq20INo/S_k-cELPkOI/AAAAAAAAEic/N3ar94Oi460/s1600/unnamed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UT0ofq20INo/S_k-cELPkOI/AAAAAAAAEic/N3ar94Oi460/s320/unnamed.jpg" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>and will be doing it almost every day! I am even going to start running again. I will start off small, then start running more miles later. I really hate that I took such a long break. But, we had so much going on, I just didn't have the time or energy to do it!<br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We have been so busy remodeling our house! But, the results are fabulous! We finally have our wood floors in and I refinished the dining room table. We still have so much to do, but I feel like it is finally coming together! We picked out a cherry floor so, I stained the top of our table a red color. We love the look of it. It is by no means perfect, but I was thrilled with my first staining job!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So, here is the dining room table, before and after:</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

I am excited with the way it is looking. The next step is to get the new countertop and sink! I can't wait! The countertop will be very dark! I think it is all going to come together nicely! Now, if someone wants to donate, or sell very cheap, some ss appliances..... ;)</div>LeeAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10647105175843558260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080976886262560471.post-67370687374343716892010-05-02T09:12:00.000-05:002010-05-02T09:12:14.826-05:00A Cinderella Birthday Party!I have had so much fun buying things for Cassidy's birthday this year. She was just so excited! She decided on a Cinderella themed party. She invited all of her friends and they had a great time. This had to be her best birthday yet! And, her birthday isn't until Monday, when we are going to the zoo! I hope the rain will hold off.<br />

She got this name when I was hoping to get a female chihuahua and said I would name her Stella. Since then, she has liked that name! We didn't think we would be getting another dog for a long time. But, this just happened to be meant to be! I noticed a Bichon for sale on one of the dog sites. Yes, I check this all of the time, even when we are not looking for a dog! I guess that is just another way I waste my time! I saw "Lola" and she just looked so darn cute! I called and found out she was just a few miles from here and came from a rescue center. Lola was officially bought at a pet store and the people realized they could not travel overseas with her, so they got rid of her. How sad! She is only 9 months old! So, we went to meet her and fell in love! Especially Jaden. He prayed all weekend that we would get her. On Sunday, it was official. The lady ended up dropping her off at our house that evening! And, get this, the owner of the rescue center's name is Stella! Amazing! <br />
Cassidy has ended up naming "Lola" Stella! She is doing great and Nacho even loves her! I can't wait for many more years with both of our new kids!<br />

Yesterday, we had to go to Cincinnati for a wedding, so we made a whole day out of it. We surprised the kids by taking them to the Newport Aquarium. I don't know if it is because our kids are so spoiled or what, but they didn't seem very excited. Afterward, we had bought them a penguin experience. We got to sit in a room with them and pet them! It was very exciting. One actually bit Cassidy's leg! Poor thing! The penguin was even put in time out! After the aquarium, we headed to a local mall restroom and changed our clothes into our wedding attire! Yes, we are classy people! I am sure we are not the first people to change in a mall restroom in Kentucky! We got to the wedding and our neice looked beautiful. Everyone seemed so happy! It was great to see family again.<br />
So, before our penguin experience, I was taking pictures of the kids by the river overlooking Cincinnati! Jaden decided he wanted to take a picture and dropped my camera! Ack! Needless to say, it broke. We had to buy a disposable camera for the penguin experience. :(<br />
Later, we stopped at Best Buy and bought me a new camera. I really liked my old one, so I stuck with the same brand. It is a Sony Cybershot. <br />

We have started remodeling part of our house. I am finally working on painting our cabinets and we got our new hardwood flooring! I hope we can get it put in soon, but Jeff is working more hours this week. So, it will probably be a May project. I love how the cabinets are turning out! I will be sure to post pictures. I have also been enjoying the Spring weather. We have been planting flowers and Jeff just starting dig the sod up for the garden! I can't wait<br />
Jaden has been doing well in school and Cassidy is growing like a weed. She is practicing adding numbers together. She just amazes me with all of the things she knows already! <br />
Our Easter was wonderful. My birthday fell on the same weekend, so we had a busy weekend. Here are some pictures to get updated!<br />

"Fish Sticks" from Family Fun Magazine<br />
Ingredients <br />
<br />
Cornflakes <br />
Sugar wafer cookies <br />
Peanut butter <br />
Green taffy candy (we used green apple AirHeads) <br />
Seedless strawberry jam <br />
Instructions <br />
<br />
For the fish sticks, place a couple of handfuls of cornflakes in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Cover 2 sugar wafer cookies with peanut butter, then toss them in the cornflake crumbs to coat.<br />
<br />
For the peas, tear off and roll small pieces of the taffy candy into balls. If the taffy is too stiff to work with, microwave it for about 6 seconds.<br />
<br />
For the ketchup, use a fork to stir a few teaspoons of the jam until it's smooth.LeeAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10647105175843558260noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080976886262560471.post-85208097944174008412010-03-29T10:00:00.000-05:002010-03-29T10:00:30.681-05:00Sorry, it's been awhile!<div style="text-align: center;"><br />

The geese have started making their nest, so we have to be very careful when we go down there!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UT0ofq20INo/S7DAFp_3ioI/AAAAAAAAEcQ/edRVxL9mY98/s1600/DSC01404.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" nt="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UT0ofq20INo/S7DAFp_3ioI/AAAAAAAAEcQ/edRVxL9mY98/s320/DSC01404.JPG" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I have changed it up by substituting the oil for applesauce and the flour for whole wheat flour.<br />
<br />
2 cups all-purpose flour<br />
<br />
<br />
1 cup white sugar<br />
<br />
2 teaspoons baking powder<br />
<br />
1/2 teaspoon baking soda<br />
<br />
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon<br />
<br />
1 teaspoon salt<br />
<br />
1 cup buttermilk<br />
<br />
1/4 cup vegetable oil<br />
<br />
2 eggs<br />
<br />
2 teaspoons vanilla extract<br />
<br />
2 tablespoons white sugar<br />
<br />
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon<br />
<br />
2 teaspoons margarine<br />
<br />
Directions<br />
<br />
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9x5 inch loaf pan. <br />
<br />
2.Measure flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, salt, buttermilk, oil, eggs and vanilla into large mixing bowl. Beat 3 minutes. Pour into prepared loaf pan. Smooth top. <br />
<br />
3.Combine 2 tablespoons white sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and butter, mixing until crumbly. Sprinkle topping over smoothed batter. Using knife, cut in a light swirling motion to give a marbled effect. <br />
<br />
4.Bake for about 50 minutes. Test with toothpick. When inserted it should come out clean. Remove bread from pan to rack to cool.LeeAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10647105175843558260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080976886262560471.post-5137663031785626132010-03-11T12:10:00.000-05:002010-03-11T12:10:26.441-05:00It's almost Spring!Wow, the weather was wonderful yesterday! It got over 60 degrees! We spent a lot of time outside. The kids played and we walked to the playground. I am ready for the weather to stay this way. But, it is raining today, so we are stuck inside again. Thank God, it is not snowing! We are done with the snow. <br />
We have been busy the last few weeks. Just catching up with school, going on playdates, and starting our Spring Cleaning. I clean out the kids rooms and their closets. I also got their Spring clothes out! I haven't officially taken out their Winter clothes yet. It still gets pretty chilly in the Spring. I usually don't put those away until closer to May.<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I have gained so much weight over the long Winter! I am ready to lose it now! I am weighing so much right now. So, I just need to watch my snacking a little more. I think that is where I get in trouble. But, I am doing great on the exercise front! Here is a new video I am doing:</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UT0ofq20INo/S5kjDiW9uDI/AAAAAAAAEbw/L9odI4ZoBHE/s1600-h/JIAM55DVD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UT0ofq20INo/S5kjDiW9uDI/AAAAAAAAEbw/L9odI4ZoBHE/s320/JIAM55DVD.jpg" vt="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">I don't actually have the dvd yet. It is free right now on On Demand! If you haven't checked it out you need to! It's awesome! I am going to buy the dvd when they take it off of there. I want to make sure I don't get tired of it before then. But, so far, I love it. It is a very hard workout! I am still running too. I am going to try to run a 5 mile run once a week and then run a 6 mile before April. I don't really LIKE running, but I love pushing myself. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">I hope everyone is having a great week! If you haven't stopped by Starbucks lately, you need to! They have a new Dark Cherry Mocha! It is too die for! Make sure you swing by and get one this weekend! Maybe before church! Speaking of church, we are trying out a new church this weekend. We still love the one we have been attending, but we are looking for some more kid's programs. I hope everyone has a great weekend.</div>LeeAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10647105175843558260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080976886262560471.post-68209262807429352692010-03-05T22:10:00.000-05:002010-03-05T22:10:10.821-05:002010 Birthday Wishlist!I love this time of year. I saw my first Robin Red Breast of the season the other day and I am so thrilled to see the sun again! It has been quite dreary here! Today, the sun was shining and the temperature was 10 degrees above freezing! I am ready for all of the fun things we do in warmer weather! The kids are so excited to get the trampoline set up and to run through the sprinklers! I am ready to run outside! We are also getting our fence this Spring, and I am ready to do some landscaping in our backyard! Do you feel the same way when Spring comes?<br />
This time of year also brings my birthday! I really do look forward to it every year. There is just nothing better than your family pampering you! So, like always, I am going to come up with my Birthday dream, um, I mean, wish list! ;)<br />
