Dear Mason,

You have been such a sweet little snugly, cuddly bug lately.

Some fun things that you and Mommy have been doing lately:

1. Getting the car washed... You love to see the big brushes washing away. The whole time you point and speak in Mason language telling me all about it!
2. Seeing the new baby kittens. You are not really sure what to do, you just stare at them and say "kitty" while patting there bed a little too hard. Mommy has to tell you to do it "easy..."
3. Helping vacuum the floor. Mommy bought you a vacuum of your own and that is not really good enough, you want to use the big one just like me... It really is the cutest thing.
4. Trying to go down the stairs all by your self. I do not know how you do it, but every single day you find ways to grow up and it is very bitter-sweet for me. Pretty soon you will be driving... OK, lets not get dramatic...
5. Trying to ride Gabby. She is not really too much into this, but you think it is pretty fun. It is a good thing that she is very patient, because you have put her through the ringer...

Fun things you have been doing with Daddy;
1. Wearing a hat. You just mastered it. Daddy is stoked that you like to wear a hat just like him. It is just one more thing that makes you just like him.
2. Working on stuff. You would work on anything you could get your hands on and so would Daddy. If he is working on the car, you want to be right there with him... Cute
3. Playing hard. Because that is what boys do best, right? You and Daddy are the best at playing, I know you two will have so much fun in the future playing with all of your toys...

I love you little man. Do not grow up too fast, there is no rush, I am enjoying you just the way you are...
Love Always,

*MoM*

New Members....

So, as of 5 am this morning we have 5 new members of our family. Beesley was busy licking my face around 3am, which she never does, and so I put her in the floor... I still needed to sleep. Around 5 I heard some extra meow's, and I started looking for Beasley to see where she went to. I looked under the bed and she was having her kittens. To my shock Gabby was laying there staring at her. She was actually helping Beesley. I am not sure if she thought she was going to be getting something out of this or if she really is a great big sister. I made her go out side and I finished helping Beesley have her babies. I must say she is a natural. She knew just what to do. She was so tired so I set her up in the guest bathroom and let her rest with her babies. I tried the laundry room but she thought that was way too loud and definitely not safe enough for the new babies. She made me move them and we settled on the guest bathroom. I am not sure if they are boys or girls, but we have 2 orange, 2 black with orange stripes that look like tigers and 1 completely white one. I will post some pictures later.... Sadly we did have one still born kitten. That was pretty sad for me. Mason will be very excited to meet his new friends. I am still thinking on how I will do this. He is pretty rough.... Maybe I will show him after we get back form Dallas.

Update

Feeling much better today. Yesterday I went over to Kacey's house and played with the twins, Mason and Ryder and magically my head ache disappeared. So nice the effect that little munchkins have on people, almost magical. We walked around the neighborhood and gave Ry and Mason snacks. They had pop corn and loved it. Ruby Jane snuggled me and little Linc squealed a lot. He is very vocal. I just love babies, we had a great time.

Today is BEAUTIFUL. I am going to get off of work and go home and spend time with Curt and Mason. Curt leaves for PCB tonight. My soon-to-be brother-in-law is having his bachelor party over the weekend. I am so jealous of Curt, he will be at the beach and I will be in Murfreesboro... I will pay him back in a few weeks when I head off to Dallas... Ha!

I hope you all are having a great day as well. Let me know how things are going your way...

Head Ache

I have had a horrible, lingering head ache for 2 days now. I have done everything I can and it still will not go away. It stinks. If it is still here tomorrow morning, I guess I will see a Doc... I hope Mason uses his "inside voice" today.... Doubt it.

My favorite things...

MY FAVORITE THINGS around the house

My favorite thing in the kitchen is... Clorox wipes... not sure what i would do with out them... with mason always making a terrible mess, they are right there for me...

My favorite thing in the bathroom is... the bath tub... it is rather large... now that i think about it, it might be nice if i still ever got to enjoy. it currently is full of bath time toys... mason has taken over...

My favorite thing in the bedroom is... our snugly bed... it sure is nice to crawl in and snuggle up... and, yes, Amanda, sleep is awesome and it is a favorite thing.

My favorite thing in the bedroom closet is... nothing... i need (want) new cloths, and I have the smaller of the two closets... nice huh? the good part is that it is in the bathroom, so i do not have to run all around trying to get dressed... that is about all though...

My favorite thing in the living room is... my new shelves. i do have to finish decorating them... one thing at a time...

My favorite thing in the pantry is... chi's, chi's... that is mason for anything sweet. always good in a bind, like when i have to make a phone call or unload the dish washer... it keeps him occupies. currently he is in love with raisins... i can never tell him they are not made with sugar, he will definitely boycot for sure...

My favorite thing in the "office" is... well, the office has turned into the play room... so i guess mason's toys. he has just started really enjoying playing in there... My real office is the dining room. that is where i normally work on jewelry and get "kiki & lele" stuff done... (yes, i had to make a stab for the business....)

My favorite thing in the baby's room is... mason's rocking chair. it is priceless. i have rocked a sick, sleepy, snugly, mad, happy little man in that chair for countless man hours... i will keep that chair until, well, i will never get rid of it, i swear. i have some really great memories from that rocker. did i mention, i have been puked on it that chair....

Now I need to see these people do it: TAG you're it!! Kacey, you are my only blogger friend that i know will do this... . Go do it...now.

Job Description: Parent

POSITION: Mom, Mommy, Mama, Ma Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pa, Pop

JOB DESCRIPTION:
Long term, team players needed, for challenging permanent work in an often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel required , including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities! Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required.


RESPONSIBILITIES:
The rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs $5. Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next. Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product. Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.


POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION:
None. Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE:
None required unfortunately. On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis..

WAGES AND COMPENSATION:
Get this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent. When you die, you give them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.

BENEFITS:
While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth, unconditional love, and free hugs and kisses for life if you play your cards right..
Forward this on to all the PARENTS you know, in appreciation for everything they do on a daily basis, letting them know they are appreciated for the fabulous job they do ... or forward with love to anyone thinking of applying for t he job.

** AND A FOOTNOTE?

THERE IS NO RETIREMENT -- EVER!!! **

"No,Mommy!"

Ok, Mason told me yesterday, "no, Mommy!" It was actually pretty cute. It was not a rebellious No, it was a sweet one. I asked him, "Mason, do you want this blue chalk?" He looked up with his huge hazel eyes and said, "no, mommy..." It was so sweet... My big point is that he is now putting words together to make sentences.... Yay for Mason... I just knew that something about NO would be his first sentence. He is all boy and he goes constantly 90 mph all the time, he hears NO a lot. I wish I could day it less, but the facts remain that I cannot...

My days off get better every day. I am working about 20 hours per week. This makes it to where Curt and I are the only ones taking care of Mason. Things are so much better and Mason really loves it.

Kacey and I are rocking it out with Kiki and Lele. We have been a vendor the past two weekends at different sales here in the Boro. It was fun to make sales and get our names out there, but you better bet I am ready for the weekend off... Well, not really OFF, but kind of.... I am sure I will be busy making something as will Kacey. We actually have a couple of orders to get out... DO not forget Mothers Day is coming up... We are also getting ready Festival for Moon Pie festival. If you know of any other cool festivals this summer that we should be involved in, let us know....

Katie's bridal shower is this weekend, I am so excited.... I cannot believe that my little sister is tying the knot!!! Yay for Katie and Jeremy.!!!

Well that is all for now... I will post some pictures later....

Mommies for Music


This weekend was "MAJOR" in the words of V. Beckham--- I lover her. Her boobs are a bit crazy, but she is glam.

First off this weekend was to be a great girls weekend get away with spa treatments, great friends and super yummo food. It was most of all of that but Kacey and I got a call last week to have a vending booth at a local consignment show. This was a big decision to make because we had been planning girls weekend for months. Luckily Michelle and Shelly were extremely understanding, they even came to see our booth- after their spa treatments.... Heffers!
Our booth was really successful, we got the opportunity to make some sales as well as get our names out there. We are definitely thankful to the multiples club for letting us set up a booth and be a part of the sale they had.
After the sale, we jetted home to pack bags in lightning speed and meet up with the other two girls. We headed up to Nashville. We checked into our super fabulous hotel- I am not telling the name because i am about to bash them. I want to be fare because they tried to rectify the situation...
We walked into the room and realized what a deal we scored on the room (thanks Shelly) because they were really nice rooms, I mean really nice. We were also very excited because they were next door which means that we had one of those connecting door ways. I got ready for the shower and realized that there was no hot water. They tried to move us rooms, but we really loved out connecting rooms... We said no and settled to shower in another room. All drama set aside, we got showers and made it to eat on time. We ate dinner at Melting Pot and I should say it was yummy! I have never eaten there and it was defiantly a treat. Especially the desert. That was my favorite part and I could go there only for the desert.... After desert we headed to dance. I mean we really danced it up. I have not had such a fun time dancing in a very long time. We cut loose and it was too much fun.
It was the most fun I have ever had with the girls and we are definitely making anther girls trip in the future. Now since we had so many issues with the rooms, they offered us two free rooms to use in the future, which is really awesome. Maybe they will have the kinks worked out the next time...
Ladies,
I had a fabulous time and I cannot wait to go again...

What we have been up to.....

Someone told me that I was slacking at my blogging..... Ha, well I am back at it... I just needed a push. I have been so busy with starting the business, Kacey and I are like chickens with no heads lately. Never mind, we still have family's and personal business on top of our new project. We love our business and we have GREAT support form our husbands, which means the world. Not that we did not expect it, but sometimes venturing into new territories warrants some questioning... We have only had minimal questions form them... That makes things a ton easier. I cannot help but think in the back of their minds that they think we are NUTS-O, but they are not showing it, so that is all that matters, right?

Mason has been keeping me busy. I am loving being there for him when he needs me. I am also loving running my house hold. There were so many things that I have been missing out on. Our house is currently under construction, well not really, but I am spring cleaning and organizing closets, throwing stuff away, giving stuff away and getting ready for a garage sale in the summer....

Life is grand for us. It was decently warm yesterday, so Curt mowed the yard and Mason helped. I chased him around and took pictures of him, Curt and our beautiful yard. All the pretty stuff was planted before Mason, I never have time for yard work lately. Maybe that will change with him getting older.

Quick, funny story...
If you are eating, STOP!

Last night I headed up stairs to go to bed and a nasty smell hit my nose. The cat had pooped in her box. STINKY! So, I got a bag (Wal-Mart bag) and some lysol to get things cleaned up. I scooped promptly into the bag while only breathing through my mouth... I was headed out of the room and closing up the bag at the same time.... All of the sudden... something warm under my foot.... AHHHH, I screamed... My first thought is that Gabby pooped or something in the floor... It was dark so I turned on the light and the Wal Mart bag had a hole in the bottom. I had smooshed cat poo all over the carpet and all over my foot. NASTY!!! I screamed for Curt and he came to see what was the matter. All he could say is "it's your cat..." That was so mean. He did bring me a towel and some carpet cleaner, so that was nice. Then he just complained how stinky it was. So, if you have a cat and you go to use a Wal Mart bag to empty the box, then MAKE SURE that there are no HOLES in the bag before you use it....
Resume Eating...
Enjoy pictures...

My hunk doing some yard work...
Mason could not resist. This is also how I have to vacuum the house if he is awake and has anything to do with it....
So Cute, I almost had him mowing, but he put it down and went to see what Daaddy was doing...
Playing in the car is one of Mason's favorite activities
Our home at spring time... So pretty
Some stuff that I planted before Maosn was born. I love the ivey.
Watching Daddy to see how he does it... CUTE!

ETSY SHOP

Hello and Good morning...

Hop on over to Kiki and Lele's Etsy SHOP!!! We are so excited for this to launch and we have already sold 1 item.... Maybe not big to you, but we are stoked. This was also not a person that we knew, just a random lady that liked our stuff. Kudos for us...

On another note... Mother's Day is right around the corner. Maybe you can leave little hints for that Man of yours, just maybe he will pick up on them. If you are not a Mom, you can still leave hints for a birthday or a special anniversary. Would it not be fun for someone to have a piece of jewelry made especially just for you from their heart. I know I think it is cool.

Always remember, we can do pretty much anything you like... If you have something in particular, just let us know and we will be glad to make a custom piece for you that no one else has.

Dallas Bound

I just bought my tickets for Dallas. Mason and I will be traveling to stay with the Drysdale's in Dallas, TX! I am so stoked to see Amanda, get to know Joe and little Cole.

For those of you who doe not know, Amanda is my childhood best friend. We grew up across the street from each other on Mac's Lane. We now each have very fabulous lives and families of our own but are much farther than across the street. Last year she and her little family flew all the way to TN for my wedding only to get to see me for about 20 minutes. It was so bitter sweet. I finally got to see her it had been 5 years and no time to talk. I knew I had to take a trip.

This will also be Mason's first plane ride. I am sure I will have plenty of pictures to post to document this occasion. I am taking him all by myself, so we shall see just how much fun it will really be. Any suggestions on air plane fun will definitely be appreciated.

Amanda,
I cannot wait to catch up and hang out and do tons of girl stuff and watch our little guys play with each other. I bought the tickets from 4/29- 5/3. It will be short for so much time apart, but I am sure we will pack it with excitement.
Love ya

Kiki & Lele

Our blog is up and running. Go over and check us out. We are very excited to offer this jewelry to you as well as be able to donate to charity. Share us with your friends, we would greatly appreciate it!

Maybe Next Weekend...

Well, I thought we might have had a bit of a great weekend, and we did... Curt and I went out for his birthday. Mom and Dad came up to watch Mason- Thanks Mom and Dad, you guys are awesome... We came back to the house after the movie so they could get home. We decided to snuggle and watch a movie in the bed. It was over at around 12:30 am. We were getting ready for bed and I asked Curt to go in and check on Mason and make sure he had covers. While he was in there I heard a funny noise on the monitor and in comes Curt with Mason screaming and vomit all over the both of them. We caught it. Curt's brother Cliff had a virus and I guess Mason got it. Poor little guy, he was just sick last weekend. Poor cliff I know he has to have felt horrible as well. We stayed in on Sunday because there was not much sleeping on Saturday night. I think Mason and I stayed in our p.j.'s all day long. Well we changed at least 3 times each from all of the throw up. The funny thing is that he was actually running around like a little crazy man in between purge sessions. We got worries by the end of the day because he had not kept anything down all day long. I knew that there was nothing that can be done for a virus, but dehydration was on my mind. The doc said that he needed to keep something down for at least 3 hours and so we started giving smaller amounts of Pedia lite more frequently instead of a lot at one time and he came around. I was so pleased because I did not want to spend the night with Mason in the ER getting IV fluids. NOT FUN! He is doing much better this morning and actually has kept some toast down and more pedia lite. YAY!

Maybe next weekend... we can make it with out any sickness at our house.... I am going to work on getting some meat back on his bony little body. He has lost over 2 ponds, which is a lot on his lanky frame...

on my way to lonely

So, Curt and Mason are taking off to Curt's mom's house for some much needed Gran time... I know they will have a blast. I am staying behind to work, yuck... But whatever will I do with my time after I get off tonight and tomorrow night... These are some thoughts...

tonight-
work with Kacey on some jewelry
business license
tax i.d. number
reserve a booth for moon pie festival
make some more products
take pictures
order supplies

- yep- that is definitely where I will be tonight. Plus, I will get some much needed cuddle time with the twins and Ryder. They love me... My cuddle time with these babies also keeps me taking my BC.. Kacey, you are SUPER WOMAN!

Thursday night-

pedicure
manicure
make jewelry
draw out some designs
clean carpets

Well, maybe I will not clean the carpets. That means I will have to put the carpet cleaner together and actually do work on my night off... Plus, they do not really need it. They are pretty clean thanks to my Dyson- that thing rocks... I will never ever buy a different type of vacuum cleaner... Wow, i ddefinitely got off track....

What are your thoughts on what I should do with my down time???
Kacey, you are not allowed to post on here, I know what you think I need to be doing with my time off.... HA!

Monkey Man

Mason,

You are truly a mess, in a good way. You are so funny how you want things your way and how if you do not want something, you push it away. You know exactly which foods you like, where you want to go and that riding in the car is not your favorite activity... You are also still convinced that everything you touch is "hot." We were at lunch today and you refused to eat your lunch because everything I handed you was "hot." I knew it was not, and I really think you just wanted out of your chair so you were pretending to not want the food... You are so funny with your particular attitude. I hope you never loose this, even though it may make it harder on me, I want you to always know what you want and go for it- which is exactly what you do now.

I love you bug,
love, mommy

We are sooo Excited

Click on the link at the bottom. It is a post that Kacey wrote, my partner in crime.... I knew I would write the same thing, so I copied the link to her site so you can read the EXCITING news we have..... Click here to read... Also, you can check out her blog if you have not already. You will lover her, I know you will.... I do and that says a TON!

Thanks Mom, I needed this.... I am BLESSED to be STRESSED...

A POEM ABOUT OUR GIRLFRIENDS
Someone will always be prettier.
Someone will always be skinnier.
Someone will always be smarter.
Some of their houses will be bigger.
Some will drive a better car.
Their children will do better in school.
And their husband will fix more things around the house..
So let it go, and love you and your circumstances.
Think about it!
The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.
And the most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children.
And the richest woman you know, she's got the car, the house, the clothes~~~~ might be lonely.
And the word says, 'If I have not Love, I am nothing.' So, again, love you. Love who you are.
Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say, 'I am too Blessed to be Stressed and too Anointed, to be Disappointed!'
'Winners make things happen~~ Losers let things happen.'
Be 'Blessed' Ladies~~~~~ and pass this on to encourage another woman. 'To the world you might be one person, but to one person you could be the world--


Mom, you are amazing. You made me feel so much better with this e-mail. You always know the right times to call, the right things to say and the right times to give great big hugs. I love you so much and even more now that I am a MOM. I know that this morning when I was whining to you that you have been through everything I am going through right now X 3. I do not know how you did it, but you did a really great job! I hope I can at least be half as great as you!

Love you much,
Leslee

ps- now I understand why you would say, "can I at least go to the bathroom alone?" Nope, not for at least 10 more years...... love you!

Happy Tuesday!- to the Mommies

Today is one of those mornings..... You know the kind when you get up and have ZERO time to get a shower before you little one wakes up... I had to be at work this morning and I guess Mason heard the alarm becasue he was up at the same time. Great, well at least my hair is semi-clean, right? So, I got a fast shower and he watched some Baby Einstein, life saver... But soon after it went off he was pulling on my robe and whining... I love that little monkey, but really, I could not concentrate. I know the hardest thing I was working on was mascera, but Mommy needs 2 eyes.... So we go down stairs for some breakfast. He did not want what I gave him, he pushed it off of the tray. At this point we are very whiny... I wish Curt was here so I could follow him around and pull on his pants leg and whine to him. I do not think he realizes what mornings are like at our house since he comes in right about happy time... Next I got dressed... I was into all black today. So I put on my sassy black turtle neck sweater and some black slacks... Whoo Hoo I look HOT today... Well, that was until Gabby decided to rub up againts me and get red dog hair all over the pants. I could not find my lent roller and to top it off Mason got into tsome hair gel and decided that I needed a bit on my butt.... AHHHHHHH. Breathe.... in..... out...... So I get myself cleaned up get Mason satisfied and Curt gets home and I scoot out the door. I walk in the door and someone says, "you got something on your bum..." Descrete????, not really this persons type of behavior... So, everyone turns and looks at my bum which has hair gel smeared on it- oopse.... Embarrassed I run to the bathroom and clean my self up.

So, I ask you Chicken Little is there anything else coming my way today, maybe the sky???

Now 5 things that make me happy for a stress reliever...
1. Mason when he first wakes up and he needs cuddle time with me and every stuffed animal he has... Always interesting, always FUN!
2. Getting to work not looking like I chased around a 17 month old all morning...
3. The pedi that Kacey and I are getting pronto.... To put it into Kacey's words, " a peti has turned from a luxery to a necessity, bummer..."
4. Organization- my life is getting a make over....
5. My new momagenda. It is a mommy planner. It is so fabulous. I love it more every day and it only came in the mail yesterday. It has places for all the kiddos, which i only have one but whatever. It has a place to plan dinner and it has the month at a glance and each day! I love it, love it, love it. Plus, they monogrammed it with my initials and it is purple... FUN> So, I am on the road to stay at home organized Mom-o-rama!

ps- I guess my spelling is getting better, I only misspelled one word and i meant to.... Yes, this is a big victory for me...

baby-less, hubby-less

i am all alone this weekend... sigh... curt is at moto cross in ATL with his buddies and mason is with his gran this weekend. i have spent my time today working on the house, hanging with kacey and her babies. it has been fun. we have been working on our up-and-coming etsy shop. i am super stoked to show you all what is coming from all of this secret hard work we are doing. well, right now we are mostly planning. starting your own business is a big deal. while this will mostly be on-line we will also be marketing to local vendors and trying to make it to market this year, hopefully. so many BIG things going on right now and with me leaving my job, that gives me a bit more time to work on it... we are excited... i cannot wait to show all of our work off and i will as soon as we really get going...

i hope you all have a great weekend...
