6 AM ENERGY AND INSPIRATIONS

Bright and Early Saturday Morning

The kids have been waking up early all week and saturday the kids and I were out of bed by 6 am. Can you believe all you can acomplish by 12 noon by getting up so early. For some reason I woke up with alot of energy. Usually I would just be a big grump all morning but that morning felt great. The kids had a bath and were dressed right away, then went out back to play while I made breakfeast. Sydney had fun creating her own exercise bike while Blake rode on his bike. I had a shower and then started cleaning the house. Even dusting and cleaning glass. We were out the door at 10:30 to go to Old Navy. They were having a special halloween deal with $1 t-shirts and prizes if you wore a costume. By 12 we were home and napping. And by 3 the house looked like it did before my big cleanup.

Ok Ok here are the pictures of the house

The Front Room
Before
After
One side of the Kitchen
Front door, we gotta tear out those funky bushes next and put in a tree.
Do you love the Desert Landscape or what? We wanna work on the back yard first then we will tackle this. hey it saves water!
Backyard. We have a cool patio and cover. It was overgrown back here and Rami has worked his butt off clearing it out. next is taking out rocks and putting in grass.
and dont forget the trampoline. Thats going up too.
Other side of front room. We want to paint but are to tired from doing everything else. Hopefully soon.

We have been working hard on the house. Putting up blinds, changing lights, pulling weeds and are still in the process. But we love it here. Sydney goes to preschool 5 minutes down the street, and already has tons of friends. We have 2 church niehbors that love to come play with Sydney and Blake. We go to a church playgroup on Tuesdays now that tire the kids out. We live right in between Ann and Craig which have everything on them, food, shopping, etc. So we love it, everything is so close. Melissa and Marlies are only 10 min away so we go back and forth to see eachother all the time. Sydney even had her first sleepover without mommy or daddy at Melissa's house. And now she wants to live with them!

Laura Clouse thanks for the package

Sydney and Blake loved there lil halloween bags.

And Blake was modeling my b&bw's selection. Love it.
Defiantly love my new soft throw. Awesome, thanks so much Laura for thinking of us.

My Favorite Thing Right Now

This is what I love right now. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It's an oil burner from Bath and Body Works. Works better than candles in my opinion. With one burner you can scent the whole house. I love the PUMPKIN frangrance the best and I already used up sensual amber in 2 days. It does go fast if you dont watch it. But Im also in a new house and Im trying to get a good smell going on in here. Just to let you know the fragrances are on sale right now for $4 dollars. Good deal, I need to go get some more.

My Lil Composer

Rami loves this song by coldplay and the kids love to dance and move to this song. Here is Blake in the car conducting the music. We love to groove in the car with the music playing.

The Lip

This is the look Blake gives you when you have hurt his feelings. In otherwords he was being naughty and got in trouble. He gives you the lip and then his eyes well up with these big crocodile tears. It melts my heart and I end up swooping him up and kissing him.

Look how far this sucker hangs out.

What We Did In Sept

We moved into our home and we made our first brownies.

Sydney loves her room. And is reading a story to Blake.


Rami had a Birthday, so we spent the day as a family going to Bonnie Springs, eating out at a buffet( rami's fav) and watched a movie at home.

Bonnie Springs was fun. There were llamas, goats , ducks, donkeys, and chickens just roaming the place. W e got to walk right up to them and feed and pet them.
And we saw this cool pond that had tons of turtles swimming around with the ducks.
