About a week ago, Deana from Country by Marriage awarded me the super stylish blogger award. I must say I was surprised and humbled. If you guys haven't seen her blog then you must go over and check it out. I'll wait while you visit. I just heated up some hot cocoa so I don't mind waiting. ;-) BTW....congratulate her on #3!

I'm so glad that you guys stopped back by. Its ok. You guys can absolutely tell me what a smartass I am. I'll probably thank you for it. Sorry...in that kind of mood. My head started hurting while I was taking my prescribed Mom-time bath. What is up with that? Ugh. So I digress {again}so without further ado here's the skinny on the award:


You're supposed to thank the person who awarded you. Thank You Deana! Share 7 items about yourself and then award 15 other super awesomely amazing blogs. Pretty easy....so lets get this motor going. :)

1. On Tuesdays, I think I'd like to have 3 kids. I flip flop on this. Some days I'd like to return the two I have. Other days they are pure sunshine and angels. :) 
2. I've been really bad about taking pictures about things I'd like to blog about. We've been organizing our kitchen and I have not taken one picture. Bad me.
3. I have so many projects on my plate that I have trouble deciding which one to start next. 
4. I am really really annoyed at my dogs right now. For some reason they are being uber-annoying and just won't sit and be. Their nails are clicking non-stop on the hardwoods and I can't hear anything else. I know this is not their fault, but the car is clean and I don't want to fur it up again by taking them to get their nails clipped.
5. We may {may} have decided on a tile for the backsplash. I don't want to jinx it, but I'm very hopeful! 
6. My master bathroom is still really bugging me, but I hung up two pretty candle holders today and now its not completely awful. 
7. Dev and Harrison are going to their Great-Grandmother's this weekend and I cannot be more excited. I know I'm going to be working on organization projects, but still. I can sleep in!

Okay so here are the other terrific blogs that I'm sharing this award with! No these are not in any particular order. :)

I've received another Versatile Blogger Award. I really don't know what to say other than that I'm honored. So lets do this again with all new things you don't know and 15 new blogs that I love.

Thank you Pregnant with Power Tools!

1. I once had to put my sewing machine in for repair because I put the needle down through my thumb and shifted the needle's center point a 1/4".....I guess needles and bone don't mix. 
2. I didn't learn to drive a stick shift until my grandmother called me a wuss. I guess that was motivation enough :) 
3. Harrison is driving me up the wall right now. HE WON'T LEAVE THE DVD PLAYER ALONE! argh!
4. I have posts lined up for like the next two weeks. I'm that behind in projects. 
5. I was in a car accident 10 years ago and broke my left arm. My left arm is now an inch shorter than my right arm. 
6. When I was pregnant I loved cheddar cheese and sour cream potato chips.....now I think they're just gross. 
7. When I asked Stephen what my last shared item should be, he said stubborn....then beautiful. Hrmmmm.

I've been awarded my first blogger award from Thrifty Ba. Its the versatile blogger award! You guys should definitely check out her blog. She's funny and I love how she writes. Also her background is orange, and if that isn't enough to get you guys to go visit then I don't know what is. I have a small love affair with orange. So visit!

1. Devlin's name came out of a cheesy romance novel. It was the hero's name and I loved it! Stephen did not, until my Mom mentioned Kincaid. Devlin Kincaid has just got presence. :) 
2. Harrison's name was supposed to be baseball related, but I really couldn't wrap my head around any baseball names, but I do love the name Sebastian Trot right now :) Maybe I should use this as enticement for a 3rd baby and this time keep my promise  :) 
3. I honestly think I have coffee and milk running through my veins instead of blood. 
4. 27 seems to be a theme for Stephen's and my relationship. His birthday and Dev's birthday are both on the 27th day (of different months) and we were married on 9/27. 
5. I cannot sew with shoes or slippers on my right foot. Left foot can stay covered but that right foot is usually bare, or has a sock on it.
6. Sometimes the only way I can deal with a situation is to laugh, even if it seems inappropriate, because its either laugh or cry and I hate to cry. 
7. Last but not least! I have failed miserably at the Power 90 workout routine. I keep meaning to get back on that horse, but there are just so many better and more fun things to be doing!

Oh and just cause I want to....Here is Dev and I a little over 4 years ago!
Dev was 6 months old, and this was at Dana's wedding. I was so happy to finally be able to hold him again. I wasn't allowed to hold him until after the ceremony, because of his drooly teething :) Altho, its kind of a forced smile....Dev weighed a slight ton. :)
