New fashion ideas for my THIRTIES!?

I just went OUT like this..leggings, warmers, toms... I'm laughing with hope that it works.??

Secret is out. I REALLY want leg warmers to work into my wardrobe. 

And I'm determined.. Some say lose the Toms, add some boots? Others say Rock it? Just something fun for me to get a little proud laugh at myself for.?! 

Carry on.

Hey Mr.?

First of all. Did January even exist? Seems to have come and gone with a blink. Hello February, the month with an extra "r" and extra love. Also my last month in my TWENTIES. OWE, owe!! I'm fine with it..Just saying.

Since this is my 1st post of this "LOVE" month- I may as well give some random facts and happenings about my One and Only Love Mr. Dave. Right? Right.
And, ready, GO!

*Mr. Dave is now an official Weblo scout master.
Pretty sure he's enjoying himself. He says he was never "into it" as a kid so he's learning about all the book requirements and what not right along with the boys. Also, Mr. Mike, his co-teacher-master has become one of his really good friends.
Here are the boys gathered around the Ipad for an educational vid.

*Mr. Dave is a home owner which equals handy man in the making!
This picture cracks me up every time I see it. Good man.!
He had or should I say chose to fix a leak in our front hydrant pipes, that runs on house water, and, well, it was "one of the worst/hardest things" that he's ever had to do. (Is how he described it.) Frozen ground, muddy everything, corroded, brittle pipes and working against daylight. I left to my grandma's for the day so him and Mike (proof of a good friend) could ice pick at the ground. I hadn't heard from him all day and everyone was wondering how things were going. Right when we were talking about it, Dave sent me this picture. I started half laughing and making crazy exclamations, gramma made a gasp and Beckham was begging to see. I leaned down to show Beckham and with all seriousness he asks everyone ---"HE'S DEAD?"

These next vids may or may not work.? Sorry if not.
*Mr. Dave is AKA #1 dad! duh.
He absolutely loves being around the kids. Fish braids Roma's hair. (That he learned from YouTube..haha) Wrestles with them even when he's beat tired from working two jobs. Carries Harper around the house and wakes up at night with her.
The other night while waiting for Dave to get home, Beckham said that he "missed dad so much that his head hurt and his eyes were watering because of it." It was sweet.
Dave researched and found this little 1/10th violin for Beck and Roma for xmas. He has his own violin that he messes around on. Hopefully the kids will get the music/singing talent from him. Apparently Roma can already play Book of Mormon Stories...haha. As seen or not seen on vid.



*Mr. Dave is also teaming up with Beckham to get the total P90X body.
It's pretty intense. Beckham will do an entire workout with Dave or on his own. It's classic!

And, last but not least..
**Mr. Dave is still NO doubt, down right, perfect for me! I am SO much better with him than I've ever been without. Oh jeez, Cheese. I know. But it can't be denied. Happy FebRuary. Go do something special for someone special. Xo

The End.

Just talked to Dr. Tayler. We get to go home!!! Soon. So glad. She's doing better.

Finally a night of rest.

She made it through the night WITHOUT a treatment.
Yes!
So far soo good. Her last Epi. treatment was last night at 930p. They also gave her another steroid shot and some Tylenol.
It's 545 am and she just had a 6oz bottle and fell back to sleep-breathing fine.
Going on NINE hours now.

The light at the end of this little hospital visit is in sight. We'll see how she does once awake and moving around for the day...

Harper Lee Update

Through breathing treatments, a steroid shot, chest x-rays and careful evaluation, it was determined that Harper has a pretty severe case of Croup. It started early Monday morning, ER visit on Tuesday afternoon, ending with them admitting us Tuesday night. It's been a rough go for our sweet baby. . And really all of us, to watch her struggling for air.
She is a strong trooper and in good hands. If you're not familiar, Croup affects the upper airway/trachea. It causes swelling and can constrict the airway in some patients, like Harper. She responds immediately to the epinephrine breathing treatment that they give her and becomes calm and has easy breathing. There are times between treatments that she's even been upbeat, smiling, crawling on the bed, drinking and eating her baby food. All great and a sense of comfort..but they are short lived. For the most part she has gone about two hours and then the meds wear off and very quickly she goes back into a struggle for air. Her chest and neck concave with every breath, she breaks into a sweat and . . Well, Dave and I, begin to give her reassuring words, which I'm not sure if she needs more or us?.
What a horrible thing to watch your baby suffer. So much goes through your mind and you wish you could do anything to take that pain away. I am indeed thankful for her over all health and my other two children's health. We really are blessed and I know she will fight through this yucky virus. For now it's just been a lot of restless hours in the hospital.
The Doctors want to keep her another night because she is still unable to maintain comfortable breathing on her own. They want her to go at least six hours after an Epi treatment without needing another. All yesterday and last night she would make it about 2 hrs. Since this morning she has gone about 4 hours. We will see how tonight goes..As nights tend to be rough for most sicknesses.
Friends and family are super supportive and great in helping out with Beckham and Roma, food, phone calls, texts, ..etc.
I'll give the updates here on the blog for those that have been asking. Lets hope and pray we're out of that claustrophobic room and back at home by tomorrow!
Here are some pics that my pops and Shell took today while up here spending the night and visiting our sweet little Harper Lee.

"Simple" ideas..?

Good. I finally fixed my blog so that I can once again update via phone. These days I am RARELY at my actual desktop or laptop. Run, Running, around my house and playing with kids. It gets hectic.
I'm coming up with some different ways to help make my life easier and more productive.
Yesterday I called Dave at work to sarcastically, yet with all seriousness, tell him my couple ideas and then to see if he had any to add.
He laughed and said he'd be thinking.
Here are some of mine. Easy, complicated and those that will take some trial and error.
-An accordion file for all my bill stuff. I save the stubs for power, gas, mortgage, hospital bills, etc and I'm not 100% sure why I save them all but I think it's a good idea. So, having them in some sort of order makes me feel less clutter brained and better.
-Sell our Honda civic and get rid of our 295$ car payment. !! Lately I think car payments are such a waste. I'm ready to get a bigger yet "crappier" car that we can save a bit monthly.
-Turn down the water heater
-Plan out a 2 week dinner schedule and shopping list. ---THIS is the tough new one for me. I am excited to see how I do and if I like this idea. I'm using the Food Nanny cookbook and website. This website lets you pick your recipes then it creates a shopping list for you. It's been a couple days is all and I love that I KNOW what's for dinner. Not something that I already did or cared about.
-Buy a gym pass. Not just for me to use but me and the kids LOVE going to burn off energy and practice our sports skills. This rec center even has a golf putting green, drive range area, and batting cages along with the other basic goods. "Getting out" is key to a good day-especially if it's physical. That's my book though:)
SO far that's what I'm working with.

P.S. Harper Lee is crawling full on and eating all and everything. She is a hand full of lovin.

Was anyone else in Razz Ma Tazz ..

..when they were little??
Roma loves dressing up and watching my old vids! Her hair is definitely so long like mine was, just a couple shades darker. That's me with the platinum fluff in the background.
