THIS, THAT & OTHER STUFF (UPDATE)

***UPDATE***

Sam, over at A Day in This Army Wife's Life, has actually given me my very first blogger award!! but, since i've been somewhat of a slack with blogging this week i didn't realize it.

So, i went from not having any blogger awards to TWO in the matter of hours of each other :o)

I love the award that Sam gave me -- it is very dear to me for lots of reasons i won't go into until later. {running short on time}

what a great award!!!

thank you so much Sam.

i love this award so much.

this weekend i will be nominating others for this award -- stay tuned.

in other news:

i'm sure most of you have heard by now of the horrific tragedy at Ft. Hood yesterday.

Please keep the families and friends of all those involved in your prayers.

the news was reporting of soldiers ripping their uniforms apart to help stop those shot from bleeding. i'm sure we will here many stories of heroism over the next few days.

i might not be able to blog for a couple of days because we have a busy weekend ahead.

i will be sure to get back on track starting monday :o)

have a great weekend!!!

humor me!!!

1. i don't like wearing jackets/coats or anything bulky. which poses a problem since the winters here are pretty frigid. boo!!

2. i have used the same brand of eyeliner for about 13 years now.

3. i enjoy celebrity, hollywood {entertainment} news....i know, i'm a dork.

4. the song i walked down the aisle to at my wedding was the wedding march from the sound of music. {i love a pipe organ}.

5. i love to watch baseball or college football.

6. i dream of building a cottage - style home with a pool one day.

7. i miss my family & friends back home.

***************

our baby boy, isn't much of a baby anymore but, a toddler.

he is 18 months old now and talking away.

he is the sweetest little thing ever.

i love this age minus the tantrums!!!

he is growing leaps and bounds every day.

the child will eat any fruit you put in front of him

vegetables are a different story.

he is really into birds, flowers, bananas & cell phones.

he loves to dance and make us laugh.

i love my little man to pieces.

i am savoring each moment with my boys because i am watching them grow right before my eyes.

we are blessed beyond words!!!

i plan on taking tons of pics from our date to topeka!!!

any suggestions of things to do, places to eat while we are there?
