Any Ladies Like to Ummmm Fish??


Bret came home yesterday telling me he heard a new country that...
reminds him of me.
I was intrigued....hoping it was a good song,
maybe a love song?
This might be tmi or maybe even a little inappropriate but I laughed so hard when I listened to the song!
I just had to share this!
Here it is...and I guess Bret counts himself lucky lol

New Post...What to Post??

I feel like I need to post something.
 It's been pretty uneventful  around here this week...
Other than the, cleaning, feeding, cleaning, oh ya and some more cleaning and feeding the hungry mouths around me! lol
I did make a trip to the DMV that's always so lovely...so many things to see there, 
and the wait is always so gloriously long!  
I didn't have time to make an appt which meant I sat in a chair for 2 hours....ugh
BUT this time I went with a good friend,
so the conversation was good....which made the time go by faster!! 
We enjoyed conversating on the clothing that was worn around us,
and what certain people looked like....it was fun lol.

Oh we watched Rio this week,
OK good movie!
I love the soundtrack....  
I had to download it and add it to my playlist!
Fly Love by Jamie Fox....I totally love that song! 
Now you go listen to it, and tell me what you think.
You better love it...just sayin :)

I think the highlight to my days lately have been:
Listening to Carson talk his talk,
and walk his walk.
(That kid gets kissed all day long.
I think I'm lucky he doesn't mind me kissing him so much! haha)
Watching Landon play with his G.I. Joes.
(He recently found his lost G.I. Joes.  
Apparently stuffed animals and G.I. Joes play really well together.)
Audrey and Landon playing their forts.
(They are finally playing well together... it's just taken almost all summer to get to this point.)

You want to know my least favorite thing right now?
Listening to Carson screaming!
I think I might just go crazy...
I really need to do something about his screeching scream! lol

What about you?  
What is the highlight to your days???
And your least favorite thing??

Day At The Beach

We finally made to the beach this year!  
To be honest I don't even think we went to the beach last year....I know it's pretty ridiculous!
This summer I think I told my chillins 3 0r 4 different times we were going to the beach,
then hubby would have to  work.
And my chillins would start crying....hysterically!
Hubby would leave at that point for me to console the poor little chillns.
Oh the world can be so cruel to little chillins who just want to go to the beach!
Yesterday was finally the lucky day!
We packed up and headed out.
I'm pretty sure the whole way Landon asked "are we there yet?" or rather " I'm so bored, when are we going to be at the beach?!"
He eventually was told "if you ask that question or say you are bored again...we are going to leave you in the car, you won't be going anywhere near the water."  
Hubby and I are kinda mean like that....but it did work. lol
We arrived in Dana Point and found the beach we wanted to go to.
And had a ton of fun!  
I really don't know why we don't go... like all the time!
It was so easy, the kids were little angels, and Hubby LOVES the water.
We are lame, but I think we won't be so lame anymore.
Beach trips will definitely be apart of our lives more often!!
Here are some pics of our little trip...



Here is our sand castle Bret and I worked so hard on.
I went to get the the camera (aka my phone) to take a pic,
when I go back Carson was destroying it!
And hubby and the other kids were gone off like this..

 I can't believe they left Carson by himself... lol
oh well everything turned out fine.
I'm really just sorry you don't get to see our sand castle in all it's glory...it was pretty awesome!
Here Carson wanted to be in another family.....or maybe he wanted to mash their sand castle!!!



 Audrey and Landon loved the waves....Carson however didn't like the water at all...he's our cautious one...if you can believe that. lol  
All my kids are crazy...or just have LOTS of energy! lol
 Look how happy Hubby is!  It's like he's shouting HOORAY for going to the beach!! lol

 Carson just chillin in my chair.
 Oh aren't we cute??
 Then it was everyone's turn to get buried in the sand...which is a must when you go to the beach.

 I just got my feet buried this time... maybe next time I'll get my whole body buried...yes I think I will!
Yep it was a good, good day.

Pillows Anyone??

Since we got the new couches I had to go get pillows to make them more alive.
OR make me feel more alive... whatever I needed these new pillows.
I went to Pier 1  to find them,
but Pier1 just didn't have any pillow that spoke to me.
I did have a $10 off coupon so I bought these...
Basically they were free since I had that coupon.
So cheers to Pier 1 for awesome coupons!
I headed over to Marshall's and found these..
Can you say love at first sight???
Yes I fell in love with these pillows!
They make me smile...I think decorative pillows should make you smile. :D
So I had to buy them!
Bret and he hates them.
But I don't care...I love them and they are staying!!
I am going to make couple more pillows in gold or yellow...or maybe even zebra to go on the couches too.
I'll show you the pics when they are complete.
But remember your pillows should make you smile lol 

Sometimes Someone Does Something For You, You Can't Believe!

Saturday me and my little family came home from our Pioneer celebration. 
I few minutes later our our friends came over with a pretty awesome surprise!
These...

A leather couch and loveseat!!
Can you believe it??!!!!
I couldn't!!  I still can't!!
Every time I walk in my living room I'm still shocked lol
We did have a couch before these....
but a certain someone sat down on it recently....
and kind of broke it lol.
It wasn't sooo broken we couldn't use it,
but it was  getting uncomfortable lol.
Soooo....
 You see I took care of my friend's children while she was in the hospital.
She was in the HOSPITAL,
of course I am going to watch her kids!
I did it out of kindness....NOT to get something out of it!
She and her husband were soooo grateful,
They bought us couches??
Yes they did.
I feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends in my life.
Friends that feel more like family.
