Soooo... My best friend Jenny (since elementary school), her lil one Alyssa (also my Goddaughter), and her mom Carolina came to visit!! They planned a stop here in AZ on their long drive from Washington to Texas... It was such a nice feeling being able to see some familiar faces and have them meet Jordan! I wish they could have stayed forever... well, just until we head out for the summer... which is actually just around the corner!

*****We got our blinds installed today! Whoo hooo. What a big relief! I got so creeped out thinking that people can see right into our house all the time!!

Loungin' the day away.....

I have been getting everything ready to do my taxes today and have had two very snoopy yet lazy cats to keep me from working. They are just too cute sometimes, I can't resist but to take a picture. Some people dislike cats and I just don't get why.... they are sooo cuddly and cute!! :)

Here they are.... loungin' away while soaking up the warm sun!

Here are a few pics from my birthday... Jordan is so sweet and planned a get together at our house. He surprised me in the morning with a kitchen fully decked out with a banner, and balloons... there were about 10 small balloons, just the blow up kind, scattered on the counter tops. They aren't in any of the pictures because by the time I got my camera ready to go, JERRY our cat, popped all of them! He is a little stinker. He even ate a few... which to my surprise, came out in the litter box the next day!

Birthday Madness

February is a big month for birthdays in my family.... and not to mention Valentine's day! So I always look forward to this month!

My little sister's birthday is Feb. 19th- she's turnin' 8 this year and my little bro's birthday is Feb. 21st- he's turnin' 6! They are two years and two days apart... and 15 years and 7 days before Parker, on Feb. 26th I was born. It's too bad I couldn't be there this year to celebrate with them :( I miss those two so much. They are growing up so fast!!

Have a Happy <3 Day on Saturday!

I’ve always liked Valentine’s Day because I love giving little “I love you” cards and gifts to people that are special to me. I posted a few of the homemade cards I sent out this year. All you need are a few stickers, some construction paper and whaa-la .... a love filled card made from home.

Super Bowl Sunday....

Wow, I’ve never seen a town light up so much in the last few days. It’s been a riot here with the Cardinals making it to the Super Bowl this year. I am not a hard-core football fan; I usually just watch it if someone else has it on, never really going out of my way to find the game on TV. I guess I don’t know too much about the sport, or I would be a little more interested. I did take stats for the football team at my high school during my senior year, but it wasn’t really that informative.
I am excited for the team and it is cool to see everyone around here all decked out in their jerseys and stocking up on snacks for the big game. I was getting my hair cut, just chatting with the stylist, and she told me the Cardinals have never been to the Super Bowl (unless you count back in 19 twenty or forty something when it wasn’t actually called a “super bowl”), and pretty much aren’t that good. They are the underdogs in football, but to the people here they are more like inspiration. Go Cardinals.
