Loved it!


So my 10 year reunion was this past weekend and I had a blast! It is really neat to catch up with old friends and make some new ones. I have to say that I wish you started high school at age 28. I love the fact that you are not worried about who you are talking to for fear of looking like a geek. There was probably a lot of comparing going on, but overall it was a fabulous time. And lets just say people were SHOCKED/AMAZED that I had 4 kids.

After the reunion my friend Lindsey invited me, Collin and Nick (a guy from school) to go to her in-laws house on Lake Union. The have a VERY nice house over looking the water. Nick was talking about how he got into his position as a Fashion Sales Rep. (not exactly sure of his title). He basically said that he saw an opportunity and took it. Lindsey continued the conversation telling us even if you have an idea that someone else has doesn't mean that you can't run with it. As they were talking I had one of those "ah-ha" moments inside me. I have always had a burning desire to create things. For whatever reason I come up with this ideas and 2 months later they are in the stores. But I think that it is so true with what she said. There are so many dang people in this world that even though there is something similar out there it doesn't mean that you will not be successful at yours. So that leads me to my idea. I am going to try and get my shawls out there. Nick told me where to get some super cute fabrics, so I am SUPER excited! Who knows maybe in 10 more years I will have a really cool story to tell all my classmates ;)

  4. Thanks for all your encouragement! And I was more meaning that it would be cool to say that I came away with this idea from the 10 year. Does that make sense??

  5. I have heard of a lot of people who do stuff on Etsy, so I agree that it is a good place to start. You are so creative and I think you should try out your ideas!

    Glad you had a wonderful time at your reunion!

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"

the things they say...

Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)
