Pigtails and Pizza!

Hey!

Good Morning!

Hello!

Happy National Pizza Day!!!!

In honor of this wonderful holiday....

I wanted to share with you all my SUPER...FUN... Sleepover!

So I may have created a monster.... My niece is now in LOVE with Lularoe leggings.... Which ones of us has more? Ha well we may have close to the same amount that is how crazy she is over them!

We normally get pizza together... ate pizza with Santa.... we are just some pizza lovers!

So bad that she is now saving coupons that come in the mail for us!

She's so funny!

Well, with that said.... I got her a pair of pizza leggings and I have a matching pair so... She wanted to do a pigtails and pizza slumber party!!!

 Kris wanted to join in on the fun.....for the movie viewing of Trolls!

Don't worry.... He doesn't have pizza leggings!!! 

We tried to put his hair in pig tails but he growled at us!

We of course ate pizza and  baked cookies for the movie!!!

We had so much fun laying on our new air mattress! It was so comfy!

Audrey Loved it!

During the movies we all cuddled then at bed time... we said no boys allowed! 

So are you going to celebrate National Pizza Day?

I think I am with a salad and then a slice of pizza!

What's your favorite toppings on pizza?

Mine is Pepperoni and Italian sausage!

My niece is starting to put pepper on hers....

Strange... she didn't get that from me....

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy your Pizza!

Yummy!

The things Kids say!

Good Morning!

This is going to be a sappy post.... I'm sorry... 

I felt like sharing this moment with you all.

One thing I miss about working with kids, is how they end up teaching you or making you think/ see things differently. 

The pictures they paint are absolutely beautiful.

Yesterday, My niece stepped up to the plate and made me cry with how sweet of a heart she has. 

Believe me she really does and it makes me so proud of her. 

One of her family dogs ( Haley) is not doing so good health wise.... She has been told that she might not make it past this weekend. 

My niece understands and is sad but made sure at Christmas to get their paw prints on ornaments and she hasn't put them away with Christmas stuff just in case. 

Well, now get your tissues for this next part cause even typing it to you all i'm tearing up and i haven't even started....

Whew...

She said, " I need to write a letter for her to give to Sugar ( My family dog that passed) and Doodles ( Her grandmother's dog that passed) so we can tell them hello and they will become friends and play with Haley. Then maybe if we have anyone we miss in Heaven we can send a note with Haley to give to them too." 

Just touched my heart that 

1. She remembered Sugar.

 2. That she is thinking of ways to make Haley's passing a positive thing. 

3. That she is a sweet hearted little girl. 

I know I am such a lucky person to get to be a part of her life and watch her grow. She continues to amaze me. 

I hate that she will have to go through losing a pet. It was hard for me with the fish I had.....with the parrots I had.... but worse was Sugar. 

Losing a dog is unbearable... 

I truly believe they are family members

Sometimes better then a family member.

I didn't even live with Sugar at the time of her passing but I grew up with her being my alarm clock in the morning.

I grew up with her being the one that was home with me when my parents went out.

I grew up with her being the entertainment.

I picked her out... I picked her to be there for us... 

Her favorite was my mom... which good choice...

I have the connection my mom and Sugar had with Audrey.

I see Audrey look at me the way Sugar did to mom.

The you are their whole world look. 

Dogs are amazing and one might think I care too much about dogs.... 

That's me...

I wish more would care more...

I just would never take my Furbaby for granted. 

She's my best friend. 

Alright yall... 

Enough of me babbling on..  

Hope that all gives you a nice little thought to keep you going on this Tuesday!

Recap of 2016

Good Morning!

Hello!

How are you?

Last time I get to post in 2016!!

I can't believe the year went by so quick!

Now before we say Hello to 2017.... let's take a little walk through 2016 with some of the most memorable moments....

Obviously one of the biggest moments I had this year was... I got married!!! 

The Bouquets from our wedding. 

Mexico was such a great time! I fell in love with Guacamole!  

Clyde

We rescued our Big boy Clyde only to have to surrender him to a better house for him due to his abusive lifestyle he had had before us. He never really adjusted good enough. 

  

Such a beautiful boy!

Audrey

My beautiful baby girl Audrey made some crazy things this year and yet she has chilled out tremendously. 

She is 2 and my Best friend! 

Younique Presenter

I became a Younique Presenter and made it to the 3rd level. 

I hope to keep it up in 2017!

Aunt Status = Best Status

My Oh My! That was such an eventful weekend! Our niece planned a whole weekend for us! Audrey was even included in the plans! 

-Pie face-
-Headbandz-

-Crayon Pumpkin-

-Movies-

-Pigs in a blanket-

-Walking Audrey around the outdoor mall-

-Pumpkin Patch-

-Sleeping in the floor on the coolest bed ever!- 

She had planned that she would be dropped off and her and I would take Audrey to the mall to walk around and get her a special cookie!  Then she would spend the night with us!

The girl is a home body and doesn't spend the night many places... so hearing that she wanted to stay with us... I was for sure up for the challenge and going to make sure she had the best time ever!

Which she had spent the night with one of the grandmas the night before! 

I think bets were made on how long she was going to really stay! 

Shocking to all she stayed the entire night and she never once asked about her Grandma ( My mother in law) that she lives with! 

BAM! BEST AUNT EVER!!!

How did I do it you ask?

Well we took Audrey to the mall and walked around for about an hour, she  got a ghost cookie to enjoy. 

On our way home, we went through the drive thru of her favorite places. Got some lunch cause my girl was "starving!" 

We ate our lunch and then had to run out the store and grab some stuff for our activity had planned plus we needed dinner and breakfast stuff.

Once we got home and put all the groceries away, We were ready for our next activity which was melting crayons on a pumpkin!

Totally took longer then expected but my girl was all about it! Wondering which color would "win the race" she was saying.... Of course being able to run around the yard with Audrey was a plus too!

It got dark on us so we went in and played Headbandz... Not fully to the rules... but it was fun and she totally was guessing crazy things? Like wait a minute are you listening to the clues at all?

Like the best one she had..... Swing... I said, " You have on in your Back yard in the grass
She asked, " do I make noise?"
I said, " Yes sometimes you squeak!"

Her reply, " Poop!" 

-_-

Really?!

Kids....

After that, We made our dinner Pigs in a blanket and tater tots!

Then it was PJ time and making our sleeping spot!

My plan was to sleep in the living room on our air mattress because she wanted Audrey to sleep with us... YAY!

Well, The box for the Air Mattress was in the closet... but NO AIR MATTRESS!!!

Still don't know where that is!

So I grabbed every blanket we had on the house that wasn't on the bed in my bed room and laid them on the floor! Which she proceeded to tell me was the best bed  EVER! My back the next morning didn't agree.... ugh I'm old now!

Now that everything was ready we had one more exciting thing to do and that was to play the PIE GAME! 

Talk about nerves! Making the game click was such a scary thing! Who was going to wear the whip cream?!

Which once she took her turn and it hit her I thought she was going to be done with the game but no she wanted me to wear the whip cream haha 

We played enough for her and I both to get hit with the whip cream twice!

We wiped off our faces really good and washed off the game then we got all tucked in. 

2 movies later she was fast asleep and I drifted off to the snoring of her and Audrey!

Audrey woke her and I up at 9 the next morning and Kris fixed us breakfast before we went to the pumpkin patch with her friend and Grandma ( My mother in law) 

I'm super sleepy today and hope I will make it through work as I have yawned typing this post!

As rough as I feel today, I wouldn't change it for the world because her staying with me was so much fun and I am so proud of myself that I was able to keep her entertained and no tears occurred except from the laughter we had all day and night! 

I love that girl!

Hope yall have an AWESOME day! Hope yall enjoyed this post!
