Blog Challenge

Well, I should be in bed! I signed out and everything but decided, I better get this done while I have peace and quiet, because tomorrow once the girls wake up, it will be run riot again 🙂 So, I will do it now…

Here is my challenge:

Here are the rules to follow
Go to your photo folder in your computer.
Go to the 6th folder of the photos.
Go to the sixth picture.
Put the picture on your blog and a description of it.
Invite six friends to join the challenge.

and here is my picture:

This picture cracks me up… This is my little one, 1.5 years old. She was standing on her head like this and every time her sister or my neice Alexis would run up and tap her on the bottom, she would just start cracking up, laughing so hard that is sounded like her tummy must hurt from laughing so hard! So I ran over and snapped a picture of it.

She is just so adorable. I’m sure you are wondering… where are her pants? Well this is somthing we go round and around about, I put ’em on, she takes ’em off, I put ’em on, she takes ’em off… and yes we do this all day until I give up sometime after noon, when it just isn’t worth it anymore. So we have lots of pictures of her running around in a top and diaper. This little babe, she likes to put stuff in her mouth, anything that doesn’t belong there, she likes to try. I really have watch her! She is super lovable, gives BIG hugs. She kisses my eyes so soft and gently, her older sister taught her that. So cute! She is SUPER gentle with animals, but not so gentle with her sister. She is ALWAYS eating. She calls candy Nonny and sissy sometimes sounds like tseetsee, she says nyet instead of thank you (and signs it too), and she likes to play with babies and dance to mozart. She LOVES to go to bed when she’s tired, YAY! So, now that you know a little more about my daughter’s personality, I challenge you to do this little challenge too. What a great idea, to pick a random picture and talk about it… Maybe I will try this in a layout too, rather than always going for the perfect ones!

One more thing, I just finished up my portion of the HOPE FOR MCKENNA charity kit (yes that is why I’m up sooooo late) we are doing it for www.scrapoutsidethebox.com owner Dani, her neice is McKenna. The kit is a fun and flowery-ish and I’m sure many of you will love it, but if you have time, please just stop by and meet McKenna, at the blog Dani made for her: http://hopeformckenna.blogspot.com/. I will post more as soon as the kit becomes available, I was just hoping you could stop by and read about this sweet little baby and her family!

Okay, have a great day/night!! Time for me to go fall down into bed! … If I make it that far!  🙂

Hey, we have crops and chats at ScrapOutsideTheBox all the time!! If you’ve never been to one, you’d be surprised at how fun they are 🙂 Sometimes it’s hard to stop laughing long enough to read, lol. Why don’t you join us??

Here is a CALENDAR of events at SOTB 🙂

What we’ve been up to…

Well I haven’t written anything personal in quite a while so I thought I’d give you a little update. We had been sick there for a couple of weeks between me and the kids with our sore throats… Somehow they got Croup, yikes, and they were miserable, then I was miserable, ugh. As you can see in the superbowl pics, we have half of our tree still up. No, we aren’t still celebrating, we have just been busy and sick and been feeling lazy about it. But I do have to get the stuff up before we have no more bulbs left. We’ve got our tabby cat (Chevy) crawling all thru it and my little one trying breaking them left and right!

So, now that we are feeling better, and I can actually (maybe) think, things are a little nicer around here 🙂 Being able to think is nice! Ha! Let’s see, we’ve  been to the doctor (3 days total) The first day I went to see our family physician, that took 2 hours, just to be seen so she could order an ultrasound. The next day I went to take the kids to the Pediatrician and get their perscriptions, give them treatments. Thank goodness my Dad volunteered to go with me, made it so much easier with the kids to have another adult around. The next day, went for my ultrasound, that was like an all day event. Had to drive 40 minutes across town for them to tell me they didn’t have time for me, then they decided to take me an hour later and rush the whole thing. They guy who did the ultrasound was  a total ass, wouldnt’ answer any questions about it, didn’t let me see what he was doing on the screen, so I barely got to see the baby, wouldn’t let my husband in the room because he might ask too many questions and slow him down, couldnt’ figure out the sex of the baby, felt like I was on the table for WAY too long, took only 3 pictures of the baby (pretty much ones that were no good) and finally couldn’t even tell us the sex of the baby… So, Jason scheduled me to go to another ultrasound later that night, we drove accross town to do that, found out IT’S ANOTHER GIRL! and got pictures. We got  3-D pictures, which look totally freaky to me, but he likes it so whatever. I felt bad, this ultrasound came with a dvd and we never got on for my littlest baby, so she is the only of the 3 that doesn’t have ultrasound video. Oh well, hopefully she will understand when she gets older.

What else?… We went to the Springs Preserve here in Las Vegas, NV. That was really cool, we have a pass and this time of year is THE BEST time of year to do these things. It has lots of exhibits that are fun, like archaealogical digs with fossils thru the whole place, information on Las Vegas Fault Lines and geological information, aquafers, nomads and settlers, Paiutes, Mohave Indian pueblo… It shows about the springs in Las Vegas, on a huge big screen and all the exhibits are interactive and make the boring stuff interesting, somehow… The whole  Springs Preserve is ALL about living GREEN. They have tons of classes about living green and exhibits that tell how to live green in easy ways. They show how trash is turned to treasure… plastic bottles reused to make carpet, an art show made of only junk, glass turned into decorative rock for around your house or made into gorgeous countertops. They have tons of stuff re-made into building materials for homes, they show how to make air passages into homes that actually promote cooler air in winter and warmer air in summer. They have walking trails down to the spring. They conduct all their own electricity with solar panels that also act as parking shades for cars. There is a huge amphitheater section for concerts and performances, a desert botanical garden. I think you can bring your own food and drinks in and make sort of a picnic day out of it. There is an old fashioned train displaying early life in Las Vegas and video games that you win by being water smart, a small park for kids to play at and the building structures, fences and the architecture is beautiful. And, it’s practically in the center of town. There’s so much to see that you just can’t see it all in one day, but you can make such a relaxing day out of it and not rush around. They even have the Wolfgang Puck cafe, it has a wonderful outdoor patio that looks over the whole preserve.

Anway, not sure what else we’ve been doing… but right now it’s lunch time, so I’ll talk at ya’all later! 🙂
