Harlee Got A New Ride

2010-04-13T18:03:00.003-05:00

We have been trying to teach Harlee how to ride her bike without training wheels. The bike she had was so small so Sunday we got her a new bigger bike, hopefully this will entice her to want to ride without the training wheels :)

Spend the Night Fun at The Heard House

2010-04-13T17:57:00.002-05:00

Friday night Harlee had her first friend over to spend the night!! They had SOO much fun. She is the sweetest most well behaved little girl (the friend, not Harlee), I really got lucky! And I got a big surprise when I went to pick them up from school that day, the little friend had lost her first tooth at school!! WHAT??!!! THE TOOTH FAIRY DOES NOT COME TO SPEND THE NIGHT FRIENDS HOUSES!!! And the sweet little girl was fine with it!! THANK GOODNESS!! So on with the fun and playing!! This will be the first of many I hope.

Happy Easter

2010-04-13T17:50:00.004-05:00

We had a GREAT Easter, hope you did too!! Every Easter, I cook and everyone comes over to our house, we eat and have an egg hunt for the kids>>>>well I just DID NOT want to do that this year!! I didn't want to do anything, except enjoy my family, and that's what I did! I will say, it was the best Easter that I can remember!! Oh and as you will see in the pictures, the Easter Bunny brought Harlee a pair of white gloves (yes she wore them to church) and a bunny(she wanted a real one, but the Easter Bunny can't bring live animals :) )

Fishing

2010-04-13T16:48:00.003-05:00

Last Saturday was so beautiful we went fishing, a few weeks ago Stewart bought Harlee a "big girl" fishing pole so she was so excited to use it!! We had a great time!!

Jewlery Day/ Best Dress up day of the year????

2010-04-13T16:42:00.004-05:00

Almost every Friday this year Harlee has had a dress up day at school, I think her favorite one so far was jewlery day!!! But this Friday is Western day, so we shall see!!

Mother Goose Parade

2010-04-13T16:33:00.005-05:00

Every Year at Harlee's School the Kindergarten has a Mother Goose Parade, all the children dress up like a Mother Goose Character. Harlee was "Mary" as in "had a little lamb". All of the children were SOOOO excited, all the parents came and the children got to "parade" around the block of the school. It was so cute.

Happy St Patricks Day and Other Randomness...

2010-03-17T15:34:00.002-05:00

Hey everybody, sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything! I can't say that I have been busy doing anything special or amazingly fun, I wish that were the case HA! I have just been BUSY!! Stewart has been working 24/7!! He has been out of town for the last 2 weeks and then on the weekends when he was home he was still working, busy busy tax season! So Harlee and I have just been trucking along doing the usual day to day stuff!

This week is SPRING BREAK!! WOO HOO!! And today is St. Patrick's day, we are not doing anything special today, except wearing green, of course. But this Saturday we will be going to the 28th annual Mal St Paddy's day Parade!! and we are so excited, it is one of our favorite days of the year, the parade is so much fun!! This year our Besties from Birmingham, The Pearson's are coming so that will make it all the more fun and special!

I hope you are all have a good Spring Break week and a happy St. Patrick's day!!

Snow Day

2010-02-12T12:06:00.005-06:00

We Finally had some REALLY good snow, not that yucky stuff like we usually get! The weather people had been saying that we were going to get between 4-6 inches of snow on Thursday night, I thought NO WAY! We NEVER get that much snow, well WE DID!! IT IS BEAUTIFUL!! We have had the best time playing in it!!

Cutee Patutee Designs

2010-01-19T09:45:00.001-06:00

Some of ya'll know that I LOVE to sew, well I have REALLY started sewing, and I am sewing alot now and I have a blog, I have 3 dresses on there now and LOTS of fabric, that I am in the process of making into dresses!! The link to the blog is over to the side it's Cutee Patutee Designs! Go take a look if ya'll want!

It's Time, I Think??

2010-01-18T06:52:00.003-06:00

Harlee is 5, well 5 1/2 if you ask her! I still have all of her baby stuff! I have given some of her clothes (like starting at 2t) to my best friend. But all of her baby stuff, like strollers(2), carrier(1), carrier base(2), car seats (2), exersaucer(1), pack n play (2) and all the OTHER baby essentials! I still have, well I am selling them, I can't beleive it myself, but we have a bonus room that we can't even finish because it is so full of stuff like this. Yesterday Stewart and I went upstairs and went through everything I was suprised how well I did, I only got emotional once, when I thought about bringing home my sweet little angel in her little carrier. Then I thought, she will never use this again, get rid of it!!! I must say this does feel good to go through and purge, now I need to work on the rest of the house. Slowly but surley I will be organized...ONE DAY!!

Thawing Out

2010-01-09T07:57:00.004-06:00

Well we are still in the 20's here in Mississippi! Hard to believe that it has been this cold for this long! Yesterday Harlee and I braved the cold and went to the grocery store, you probably wouldn't have recognized us because we were so bundled up in coats, hats, scarves, and gloves(love it). Anyway, the shopping trip to save money, went fairly well, I will tell you saving money is hard work, and it takes alot of time!!! I think I got some good deals, so overall I am happy, maybe I will have better luck next week!!

Today I have to get out and run a few errands and go to the gym, hopefully we won't freeze to death! haha! I am SOOOO ready for warm weather I can't stand it!

I hope you have a great weekend!

Thinkin' Thursday

2010-01-07T17:13:00.004-06:00

So it's a new year and I am making some resolutions!! I am going to SAVE MONEY!! I am going to try and cut back on how much I save on groceries each month, I have been looking at some web sites trying to get ideas on coupons and all of these fancy money saving ideas?! I have never been one to clip coupons and try to shop for items on sale each week, but THIS TIME I AM GONNA DO IT!! When I announced my plan to my friends at work....well they just laughed at me, I did not think it was funny. So I am asking if any of you that read this know of any secrets that you would like to share with me I would appreciate it!! I will be going on my first money saving shopping trip Saturday!

In other unimportant news, it's FREEZING here! It's been FREEZING here since Monday, on Monday we had SNOW flurries all day but of course nothing stuck, it was just cold and miserable. Tuesday and Wednesday were cold, today the meteorologists were predicting the Arctic Blast (whatever that is) was going to bring all types of horrible weather to our state, I work for and Ophthalmologist, most of our patients cancelled, schools were closing, and guess what....NOTHING, just some rain and cold weather. Tonight the low is going to be 16, tomorrow the high is only going to be 26! We will definitely be staying in tomorrow night! But for the kids sake I wish that it would snow and snow ALOT!! Personally I am ready for summer.

Before I go, does anyone watch Real Housewives of Orange County? If so, tonight is a new episode!! I have to go so I can get supper ready and the kitchen cleaned before it comes on!!

Christmas Morning

2010-01-06T18:12:00.003-06:00

Whispering Canyon...Last Night

2010-01-06T18:03:00.006-06:00

Our Last night in Disney, we ate at the restaurant in our hotel, Whispering Canyon, Brittany had recommended this, so I knew it had to be good! We were exhausted, the temp had dropped about 20 degrees that day and Harlee had gotten a Jasmine costume that day, so she HAD to wear it to dinner that night, so it was best that we stayed in the hotel! The restaurant was sooo much fun, first, somebody asked if we needed ketchup we said yes and then someone from another table brought over like 25 bottles of ketchup, so then when someone else asked for ketchup we had to take all of our ketchup to their table! It was alot of fun! They also have stick horse races for the kids, it was fun to watch all of the kids run around! Oh yeah the food was Delicious!! This is another one that we will eat at again!

Future Moviestar...REALLY

2010-01-06T17:56:00.004-06:00

When we were at Hollywood Studios we were waiting for the parade to start and these two men were walking around talking to people, being funny, acting like they were famous talent agents looking for kids to be in movies. Well Harlee Heard saw this and wanted to be right in the middle of it. So they picked her, they would tell her to do something, like make a silly face, or a mad face, well she is sucha drama queen, she had NO problem! she loved it, IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!

Wilderness Lodge....Our Hotel

2010-01-06T17:50:00.003-06:00

When we were planning our trip, my dear sweet travel agent(Brittany)Hahaha!! Suggested many GREAT things, one of them was this hotel, the Wilderness lodge. One of the things that sold us on this hotel was the fact that we could take a boat over to the Magic Kingdom, and most of you know how much we love boats! haha! Well we DID love riding the boat over to the MK, but we also loved EVERYTHING else about this hotel, we will definitely stay here again! Thanks Brittany, for EVERYTHING!!

Coral Reef

2010-01-06T17:40:00.002-06:00

When Stewart and I went to Disney World on or Honeymoon 9 years ago, we tried to go to the Coral Reef to eat but they were full, so that's the first reservation that I made for this trip! We were SOOO excited, we had a great table right next to the window so we could see the fish swimming by, and Harlee LOVED that! There was one sting ray that came and stayed right next to our table the entire time, we told Harlee he was her boyfriend!! The Coral Reef was one of our favorite restuarants!

Disney World

2010-01-06T17:37:00.003-06:00

Stewart and Harlee at Mickey and Minnie's Houses and on the Mary Poppins Carousel. Who knew that Mickey liked to play ping pong??

Christmas At Our House

2009-12-26T08:28:00.006-06:00

Ok, first of all, YES I do have Disney pictures but, I have had pneumonia for the past week and have not felt like doing anything, so I will post pictures very soon I promise!

I hope that you and your family had a wonderful Christmas! We have had a great one, and we still have one more! Harlee has been so much fun this year, and I have enjoyed her presents too. She got so many things that I had when I was a little girl, like an Easy Bake Oven, a remote Control Barbie Corvette and my favorite the Barbie Townhouse!! I love them! She also got that crazy Fur Real cat Lulu! That thing is crazy! We have had so much fun with everything...But our favorite is a Karaoke machine, we all three LOVE it!

We have had a great time spending time with family. December 23, is Stewart's birthday, so we went out to eat with his parent's and had a great time. Christmas Eve we went over to Stewart's parent's house, normally we go to church for communion, this year we did not, we just went and ate dinner and visited and then opened presents. There are 4 grand kids 2-6 so it's ALOT of fun! And then we came home and got ready for Santa!! We left him Oreo's and milk, which Harlee told me she was disappointed that we did not make him homemade chocolate chip cookies, once again, I have been sick, we were doing good to have cookies!!! We also left the reindeer some food. Christmas morning we opened all of our gifts from each other and Harlee opened her Santa gifts, then we ate breakfast and played with all of her new toys. Then we went to my mom's house for lunch, and more presents. Then we came home and took a LONG nap! Tomorrow we will go to my daddy's house for our Christmas with them.

Today I am taking down all of my Christmas decorations! I can't wait to clean and organize my house! I feel like a tornado has hit my house!

It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas

2009-12-13T07:26:00.002-06:00

Hello! Well as some of you know we ave been in Disney World, we had the BEST time! We got home Friday night, and boy have I been busy!!!! I left Saturday morning at 9:30 to go run a few errands, and got back home at 2:30!! More than an hour of that was spent getting the 600 pictures developed from our trip!!! Then I came home only to wash all 17 loads of clothes, wrap presents, and cook supper!! Today I am going to rest, after we go to church, go to a luncheon to celebrate Stewart's parents church's 50th anniversary, and then try to finish up our Christmas shopping...whew! Is Christmas this hectic for everybody? Tonight Harlee and I will start our baking, I am trying something new this year, so let's hope it turns out well!

I can't believe that Christmas is in less than 2 weeks, this is my favorite time of the year and it always goes by so fast! Harlee only has one more week of school and then will be out for 2 weeks, how fun! Our Best friends from Birmingham are coming this weekend and I am so excited!

I hope everyone has a great week, and I hope that everyone, including myself can/will slow down enough to remember the reason we celebrate Christmas.

A Visit From The TOOTH FAIRY

2009-10-15T17:50:00.002-05:00

Harlee went to the dentist a few weeks ago where we found out that she had 2 loose teeth!! Well now you can make that 1!! Yep, Saturday night while we were brushing her teeth, one of those sweet little teeth just fell right out!! I couldn't believe it, I mean she just turned 5 in August, isn't this kinda early?? I think so! But she couldn't be happier, and if by some chance you happen to run into us, (or already have) she will show you "HEY I LOST A TOOTH".

Broken Bones and Broken Hearts

2009-10-15T17:24:00.004-05:00

September 29, 2009

I had gone to a Sunday school party, I was on my way home and called Stewart, he told me that Harlee had "hurt" her wrist. I asked "well is she ok" his answer "yeah I guess"!!! I get home, and Harlee SEEMS ok, she goes to sleep, but wakes up about 10:30 complaining that her wrist hurts, but she goes back to sleep. We get up the next morning and I ask her no less than 1000 times does her wrist hurt and each time the answer is just a little. So I take her to school and tell her teacher to watch her and let me know how she does, thinking that as soon as I leave she will forget all about her wrist hurting!!! About 8:30 I get an email from her sweet teacher saying that Harlee is STILL complaining....WHAT!! So we get an appointment at 1:00, meanwhile Stewart picks her up from school and I meet them to eat lunch, and the sweet baby won't use her arm(right) at all :(
After doing the X-rays the sweet Dr. announces that Harlee has a BROKEN ARM!!! Good Lord I am sure DHS has us on speed dial!! for sending her to school with a broken arm, and then waiting until 1:00 to take her to the doctor!! But don't any of you worry, she is now the proud owner of the Strawberry Shortcake house! Guilt present from mom and dad!!!
Good news is she only has to keep the cast(hot pink) on for 3 weeks, and she has done great! Tuesday is the BIG day, she is getting it off!

Goodbye Fred

2009-08-24T20:16:00.002-05:00

Fred was 11 years old, he had been through so much with us. Stewart had Fred when we started dating, we had him when we got married, bought our first home, built our first home, he was with us when Harlee was born, Fred was part of our family. Now he is gone.... I have been trying to get rid of him for years, but Stewart wouldn't have it! If Fred got sick we took him to the "clinic". Finally today Stewart came to the decision (by himself) that it was time to let Fred go. Today was the last day for Cash for Clunkers and we did it!!!! WE HAVE A NEW CAR!!!!! Fred was Stewart's truck!! He drove that truck "until it died" literally we were scared it wouldn't make it back to the dealership, and part of the terms for the clunker is you have to drive it on to the lot...it BARELY made it!!!! We got a Honda Accord, and we love it! Stewart is so excited and I am so excited for him! Problem is, now I want to drive that and he can drive mine!!!!

Best Husband+Best Friends=Best Birthday

2009-08-18T19:35:00.005-05:00

First of all last Wednesday, August 12 was my birthday and I kept joking that it was my 21st birthday. On Wednesday night we went to eat Sushi with our friends the Cutrer's. Afterward's we came home and to my surprise Stewart had gotten me a birthday cake that said "Happy 21st birthday Amy" you gotta love that man!! He also got me a NEW CAMERA!!!! And my sweet Harlee got me the most beautiful ring. I am so lucky to have them!!

On Saturday night we went out to eat with friends again, this time to celebrate my birthday and my friend Lindsey's birthday, we had a great time. I am truly blessed to have such wonderful friends and family!!

First Day of School

2009-08-16T15:04:00.004-05:00

On Friday Harlee started 5 year old kindergarten, we were excited and sad! She was SOOO excited, the children only went for 2 1/2 hours mainly to meet the teachers I think. Harlee did great, and I hardly cried!!! Tomorrow she will go for a full day, that means she will get to take her lunch, which she is very excited about!

Birthday Celebration Round 2

2009-08-06T07:51:00.002-05:00

Harlee's real birthday was Monday August 3, she wanted to go eat pizza at Mellow Mushroom(good choice). We had another cake, and assured the waiter that this was NOT the only birthday party that she was having!! We all had a great time! Our Friend's Samantha, Charlie, Laurie, Kylee Grace, and Kyle joined us, thanks ya'll for making Harlee's 5th birthday so much fun!!

Happy 5th Birthday Harlee

2009-08-04T19:48:00.000-05:00

We had Harlee's 5th birthday party Saturday, she wanted it at our house! The kids had a blast, and the rain managed to hold off until about 5:00 so everything turned out great!

I can't believe that my sweet angel baby is a big 5 year old, I swear she was just born yesterday. Harlee is the most wonderful child that I could ever ask for, Stewart and I were truly blessed by her, and we thank God each and every day for her. Everone told me these days would go by fast, but I had no idea that it would be this fast!!

Point Clear.....Awe Struck

2009-08-04T19:26:00.005-05:00

A few weeks ago Stewart and I went back to Point Clear, Alabama. We had a great time! Friday night after dinner we went to Bucky's to the piano bar (our fav) the piano player, Dave Ellis went to Southern Miss, and we LOVE him!! Anyway while we were there the two nicest people came and sat beside us, Sis and Milton. After a few minutes they got up to dance, and I was awe struck at these two, they were AMAZING! They danced to a slow song, a swing song and then they did the twist!! Everybody in the place gave them a standing ovation when they were done. When they sat back sown I asked Stewart to get some water for her and I started talking to them. Sis is 78, Milton is 82, they have been married for 54 years have 7 children, 14 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren!! I loved them, we talked to them all night, I took so many pictures of them other people thought they were my grandparents!! I think these two are absolutely amazing, I bet you do too!

They Should Put Warning Labels On These Things!!!

2009-07-22T10:45:00.005-05:00

***THIS IS A NON PICTURE POST(KEEP READING, YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHY)***

Monday night Stewart got home late and sat down to eat, a hamburger that he had cooked on the grill. Harlee and I had already eaten, I was outside in the backyard, Stewart comes and gets me and tells me he has something stuck in his throat??? WHAT?? We go inside and I look with a flashlight into his throat, I see nothing, he looks and tells me that he sees a piece of metal stuck in the back of his throat!! I look again and there it is, stuck in the side of his throat (best way I can describe it is in his tonsil) he decides that is is part of the metal scrubbing brush that he uses to clean the grill before cooking. It looks like just a small piece, so he tells me to get my tweezers and "just pull it out". Now for those of you who know me, know that I love stuff like this, so I gladly get out my tweezerman tweezers, clean them off with alcohol (of course) and start to try to get this out, well not so easy, we try for about 20 minutes, with no luck. We then decide that we are going to have to go to the Emergency Room, where we have been 3 times in our combined lives (all for him I might add). Ok 3 hours later, after sitting in the waiting room at River Oaks with the other ER goers, we saw the Doctor, who after 30 LONG minutes pulled a 1 inch piece of metal out of Stewart's throat, remember, we thought it was just a small piece, imagine if my little tweezers had grabbed hold of that!!! We were very thankful!! The nice Dr said Stewart was lucky that the metal had gotten stuck in that location because if it had gone down further it could have lodged in his esophagus or he could have swallowed it completely. So If any of you have these scrub brushes at home, THROW THEM AWAY!!!! I am very sorry that this happened to my husband but I am VERY glad that it did NOT happen to my child!!! Stewart is totally fine now, no lasting effects, thanks heavens!!

Sandestin

2009-06-29T17:52:00.003-05:00

One of my FAVORITE places is Sandestin, I love everything about it. We just got back yesterday, and had a great time, we are all well sunned and relaxed. We stayed at the pool every day, except for one(I know we should have been at the beach more, but the pool is soooo much easier) and the the beach the other. Harlee played at the playground in the Village every night for about 2 hours, and then we went to dinner.

We didn't do much of anything else, and that was fine with all of us!!

I finally remembered my camera, so I got a few pics, I want you to notice the one at the beach where Harlee is in the chair covered with the towel, this is how we started off, she slept for about and hour and then you can see in the other pictures, she livened up and had a great time! THANK THE LORD!!!

Hope you had a good weekend...We sure did!

A GRAND time was had by all

2009-06-16T20:31:00.002-05:00

We are back from our weekend getaway to Point Clear, Alabama to the Grand Hotel! We had a blast (sorry no pictures, as in true Amy style I forgot my camera). We laid by the pool, visited with old and NEW friends, ate ALOT of GREAT food and mainly just relaxed. It was nice to be able to eat whenever WE wanted (HG was not with us) and do whatever WE wanted! But we were both glad to see our baby girl Sunday!
Now we are back to the real world! I hope everyone has a good week!

Camryn is a 5 year old little girl, one week from today she will undergo her SECOND bone marrow transplant. Her little brother Wyatt, who is 2 is the donor. I don't know this family at all, but I think about them all the time. What a long, hard road they have been through, and still yet to come. You can see their blog/story to the right under my friends, Camryn Lee is their blog. Please keep this sweet little girl in your thoughts and prayers, as well as her entire family. I cannot even begin to imagine what they are going through.

2009-05-24T08:14:00.002-05:00

On Friday Harlee had her 4K graduation, it was such a sweet program. All of the children sang a sweet song and then said the alphabet and knew all of the letters in sign language!!! We were really suprised. Harlee also got the Most Friendly award(for those of you who know her this is no big suprise, she has never met a stranger). Stewart and I are so proud of our precious daughter. After the graduation we had a party at Pump It Up, all of the kids had so much fun playing. We have had a great time at St. Paul, and Harlee has made lots of great friends, we are sad to be leaving, but very happy and excited at what next year and a new school will bring.

Softball....Harlee Style

This is how Harlee plays baseball!! LOVE THE OUTFIT!!!

Supper Club

2009-03-16T18:40:00.001-05:00

For many years I have wanted to start a supper club, or just be in one. I could never get anybody to commit to one. Well that has all changed! In January my two BFF'S, there hubby's and Stewart and I finally started a supper club. We have SOOO much fun! This past weekend was my night, we had a blast, the guy's played ping pong and we talked and laughed. I can't wait until next month!

Just like my daddy

2009-03-08T21:27:00.001-05:00

I know she looks like him, but she acts like him too. Stewart has been gone all week, and will be leaving again in the morning. Harlee was so excited to get to see her daddy this weekend that she actually chose to go play golf with her daddy, over going to a birthday party at Pump It Up!! She is so much like her daddy.

To me this is the sweetest picture, I hope that Stewart and Harlee will always love being together this much. I posted earlier that for Harlee's 4th birthday, Stewart got her her own golf clubs. Stewart loves golf so much, and it looks like his baby girl does too.

I don't think that Stewart ever thought he would have a daughter, I also don't think Stewart EVER thought he would love somebody as much as he loves Harlee.

How does a princess sleep?

2009-03-08T21:23:00.000-05:00

Ok some might ask what is this, but some will say omg how sweet. Harlee loves to dress up, probably more than most, she even likes to sleep in the dress up clothes, shoes and all. To me this is the story of my life, this is how my princess sleeps. I hope all of you sleep well tonight. goodnight.

What am I thinking

2009-03-08T21:16:00.001-05:00

Several months ago I posted some pictures about "sleeping Arrangement's" in our house. Mostly the dog's ruled the bed, until I was fed up! That's right I kicked them out, well into the laundry room. Sissy has done great, Bud hates it, and will get into the bed any chance he gets. Bud loves Stewart more than anything in the world. Stewart has been gone ALOT lately. This is what happens when DADDY comes home, notice the hateful look on his face(i think he thought I was gonna move him). Really this is so sweet to me!

Bud & Sissy

Happy Birthday Bud

Dixie National Rodeo

2009-03-08T21:02:00.000-05:00

We love going to the rodeo. Harlee has the BEST time! I think she likes dressing up the best, what do you think??

Not Again

2009-02-23T18:15:00.000-06:00

Well, Harlee has strep throat AGAIN, this is the 2nd time in 1 month!! She has had fever for 2 days, a cough since Saturday, a VERY BAD sore throat, and to top it off an ear infection. Harlee is tired, feverish and not herself, I hate it. I hope that the penicillan shot, the antibiotics and the ear drops will make her feel better by tomorrow, with hopefully NO FEVER!

I have been up since 3am, so I have had alot of time to nose around on other blogs(self confessed blog stalker). Anyway I came accross a family who has a little girl, Camryn Lee, she is 4 years old(same as Harlee) and has just been diagnosed with Leukemia for the second time, she has had a bone marrow transplant. I want you all to pray for her and her family through this difficult time in their lives.http://dynamicmikelsduo.blogspot.com

Happy Valentine's Day to You

2009-02-14T12:50:00.000-06:00

We have had a BUSY week getting ready for Valentine's Day! Harlee's school has a 50's dance for Valentine's Day each year, which means she get's to wear a poodle skirt!! Here are just a few pictures, hope everyone has a great weekend.

Cora McClenahan

2009-02-08T20:11:00.000-06:00

Last Sunday I posted about being thankful, tonight I will post about prayer. Please pray for the parents of 11 month old Cora McClenahan, she is the baby that on Jnauary 25, went to the doctor for what was an ear infection. Turns out she had Neuroblastoma and today, she is with God. Please pray for her family. You can find her story at themcclenahans.blogspot.com. Over on the side you will find a link for a playground they are building to honor this angel, all donations go towards the playground.

Being Thankful

2009-01-31T20:24:00.000-06:00

There are no cute, fun pictures tonight. This time I want everyone to just be thankful, be thankful that you and you family are healthy, be thankful that your children have been outside today enjoying this beautiful weather. Be thankful that you have your loved ones close and around you. Be thankful for everthing you have. I have read so many blogs of children that are sick and in need of miracles. I feel so sorry for these families that I don't know. I think of how many times I have said "If I hear my name(mom) called one more time I am going to scream" after reading these blogs I am SO THANKFUL that I am able to hear myself called mom, what a blessing God has given to me. I think so many times we go through life and never realize how wonderful we have it, I think we should all just thank God that we are so blessed, no matter how tired, rushed and overworked we feel. I look at some of these mothers in these blogs and can only hope that one day they will hear their precious child say their name 1000 times. Tomorrow I will wake up and hug Harlee and tell her how much I love her(I do this everyday), but I will also think before I yell at her for playing on the way out the door for church, before I scream "quit splashing that water" while she is in the bathtub, for I should be grateful that I have a child who can play and splash water on the floor.
Ok I know this is so not my normal happy post, but I have such a heavy heart tonight and I think that I take SOOOO much for granted, and I think that I need to step back and look at how great my life is and how blessed my family is and say THANK YOU GOD for all that you have done and all that you continue to do.

Easely Amused

2009-01-24T07:33:00.000-06:00

My friend Lexy and her friend Bridgett opened the neatest place, it's called Easely Amused(link on the side). It's in Ridgeland. They have classes where they show you how to paint a canvas, last night my friends Laurie, Lindsey and I went. We painted Poppy Don't Preach. It was sooo much fun. We were a little nervous at first considering none of us can paint, but Bridgett is so good and it is so easy. We had the BEST time and for $25 we got an "ORIGINAL" painting. Ya'll should all go and check out there blog. It is a great girls night.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEWART

2008-12-21T14:49:00.000-06:00

Stewart's birthday is December 23, so everybody is always so busy and his day always gets overlooked. He always makes sure that I have a fabulous birthday, so this year we went to dinner and out to Shucker's, he was so surprised!! He thought just the two of us were going out to dinner, HAHA we surprised him by going over to David and Lindsey Taylor's, where they had Champagne and balloons. Then we went on to Ely's(absolutley delicious) where Kyle and Laurie Cutrer met us. We had a blast. Then we headed on over to Shucker's. It was a great night, and Stewart had a blast. Thanks to the Taylor's and the Cutrer's for making it such a great night!! Don't you love GREAT FRIENDS! Happy Birthday Stewart Heard I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Happy Birthday Stewart

Harlee update

2008-12-09T20:19:00.001-06:00

As some of you know, Harlee has Pneumonia, she has been sick for about 4-6 weeks, and was finally diagnosed lasted Thursday, much to my horror! Luckily no hospital, just antibiotics and lots of breathing treatments. I had to share with you some pictures of her, she has been such a trooper through the breathing treatments. Today she feels MUCH better, PRAISE THE LORD!

About the Music

2008-12-05T21:29:00.000-06:00

Just a quick hello with an explanation of the songs that I have chosen. Dolly Parton, Hard Candy Christmas, has been probably my most favorite Christmas song since I was like 7. All I want for Christmas is you, who doesn't like this song. And the last one, Merry Christmas from the Family. Stewart and I LOVE this song!!! I know it is strange, and at first you may think "what in the world" but after a few listens you will all be singing along, thinking of how it reminds you of your family, hahahaha.

Merry Christmas

2008-12-04T19:49:00.001-06:00

I made this outfit for Harlee this weekend, I think she is too cute in it!!

Slacker

2008-11-17T11:37:00.001-06:00

Ok, I know that I have been slacking on the Blogging!!! We have been really busy, last week went by in like 2 days. Also my camera has been acting up(maybe sweet santa will bring me one).

We went to the last USM home game Saturday. We had a good time, But who knew that at 55 degrees you could freeze to death?? Within the first 10 mins of the game we had been shopping, we got a great Southern Miss blanket, a head warmer thingy for Harlee and of course a stuffed eagle baby for Harlee. Harlee and I sat through most of the game, totally wrapped up, gloves on, but they had a fire pit at our tent, so that was a no brainer for me. Stewart sat through the ENTIRE GAME!! he is so dedicated! Harlee had so much fun, she loves playing with all of the other kids. And there is always a dog or two, this time it was a 3 1/2 month old English Bulldog!!! He was so cute and sweet.

Sunday we had our Christmas pics taken by the sweetest girl, Amy Bates, she did so good and it was so fast, nobody had time to get cranky!

I bought this really cute Christmas Advent calendar that you put together and decorate, so I thought it would be fun for me and Harlee to put it together yeasterday....hahahahahaha.. it is in no less than 5000 pieces!! you have to sew each individual piece-part together. I will tackle this project over the Thanksgiving Holidays. Let's all hope that it makes it to the wall and not into the garbage can!

P.S. (one for the road)
I am going to tackle putting up Christmas decorations this week, everyone pray for me!! This is usually the only time Stewart and I fight, some of you will remember the year I mentioned wanting a new tree, a big tall one, but my sweet(cheap) husband suggested that we could just put our current tree on top of a big plastic rubbermade container, I said no it will look horrible and it will fall off, before I would say another word out came the duct tape, He Duct taped my Christmas tree to a plastic box!!!! He thought it looked great, I was in tears, Still every year he suggests doing it, that he sees nothing wrong with it. So everyone keep us in your thoughts.. oh yeah we also have new puppy Sissy who likes to eat anything and everything, let hope not my tree or it's ornaments.

New Fabric

2008-11-09T20:11:00.001-06:00

New Fabric

2008-11-09T19:58:00.000-06:00

I am so excited, I found a new place to get fabric. I have gotten some samples, and I tried to take pictures, some turned out better than others. The fabric is really cute, if you like one or want to see a better picture of it I can give you the website, just leave me a post with your email address on it and I will be in touch. I hope you enjoy these as much as possible. The black and white is so cute with a red monogram on it with a red shirt. I have some other orders this week, and I will be posting pictures as soon as I can get the dresses made.

Appliques

2008-11-09T19:51:00.000-06:00

Okay I have become totally obsessed with sewing!!! I love it! I have been hard at work this weekend learning how to do appliques, I can do initials, or shapes whatever you want, the red and white polkadot dress would be rally cute with a green Christmas tree. This dress with the applique is only $40. You can see how cute it is with a pink shirt and pink leggins.

Sleeping Arrangements

2008-11-04T20:59:00.000-06:00

Isn't it nice to see all of my family sleeping, notice one person is missing....ME!! Do any of you remember a good, long night sleep??? I don't. I say all of the time that my family, Stewart, Harlee, Bud and Sissy have a conspiracy against me to not let me sleep. For one reason or another one or all of them will wake up at some point in the middle of the night. I am one to not go back to sleep, so no matter what time they wake me up I am awake the rest of the night. I also want you to notice in the picture of Stewart and Bud, the small space to the right of Bud, that is where I sleep. Any further questions?
I hope every one had a good election day. Today is our 8th anniversary, after Harlee's gymnastics class tonight we did our favorite thing we went to Mellow Mushroom for pizza AWW HOW ROMANTIC!! Happy Anniversary Stewart, I love you, and I love our life together.

Jumpers

2008-11-02T18:55:00.001-06:00

Most of ya'll know that I started making jumpers, and I have started selling them, well here they are. The red and white polkadot with the lime green lining is so cute for Christmas, it really looks cute with a white turtleneck under it. The dresses are $40 for sizes 1-6. I hope ya'll like them. Have a great week.
