Getting to know YOU!!

Hey everyone I cant believe the weekend is almost over! Its like I check in on  Fridays for 5QF and then before I even blink its sunday and time to wrap up the weekend with Getting to Know YOU with Miss Keely!  I am going to soak up some family time today. Not sure what we will find to get into but I am sure it will be an adventure :)

Alright lets get down to biz-ness. Here are the questions for this week:

1. Would you rather bungee jump or sky dive?
I am not deathly afraid of heights like Keely or anything but I am a huge chicken remember! My answer is neither. No way! No how!


2. When using a public restroom to you squat over the seat or sit?
Depends on the restroom! No matter where I am at I always try to hold in until I get home if at all possible but if worst comes to worst then I usually use a seat cover or wipe off the seat and then go. I prefer to hover but lets be realistic that is hard. I mean if you can keep the baby from touching all the nasty stuff in the area and hover you got some mad skills! ;)

3. Favorite flower?
I love all things Daisy but my fav. would have to be a Gerber Daisy. Love them

4. Pedicure or manicure?
Both please! If I have to choose I could I would say mani :)
5. How many siblings do you have?
I am the oldest of 4. I have two brothers and a little sis

6. Do you pee in the shower? (gasp!)
Gross Keely...lol  I try to take care of my business before I get in the shower but sometimes you have to do what you have to do!

7. Bikini, tankini, or one piece?
Used to be bikini all the way. The past two summer I had to resort to a tankini. I would so sport a one piece if I thought I could pull it off but for some reason they look worse on me?!! Makes no sense huh!

8. Where do you hate to shop at, but go there anyway?
Wal-mart! I too prefer target but usually.. I hate to admit it..and do NOT tell me husband (bc then he would make me go to wal-mart more) but wal-mart is cheaper :(  I did totally score Emma a cute Easter dress there (at Target) for 18 dollars though! I was pretty proud of myself
 
I hope all of you girls have a wonderful week coming up!!

Five Question Friday

Hey everyone! I was to tired to stay up last night and snag the questions a little early so I thought I better get started early this morning so I was not behind ;) Head on over to Mama M's blog and join the fun if you have not already!

I hope you all had a good week but I hope you have an even better weekend. It has been a pretty good week over here. We went and looked at a house (needs a ton of work.. but good for the price.. so we will see) and got the stinky news that we have to PAY on our taxes this year rather than get a return..total bummer! In other good news though dad was able to recieve his treatment this week!! Very exciting news! Thank you all so much for your prayers and sweet comments.. you are the best!! :)

Alright enough small talk lets get down to business. The questions this week are:

1. Do you sing karaoke? If so, what is your go to song?

No! I love to hear others sing karaoke though. If there is one thing the Lord did not bless me with it is a singing voice. My dad used to always tell me "we poured lots of money into activities for you but vocal lessons was def. one we missed" ;)  The bad part is I love to sing. The good thing is that Emma doesnt know that I can not sing! So we totally rock it out when nobody else is in the car. I sing and she dances.. we could be our own show at the karaoke bar!

2. What is your favorite coffee drink?
I know you all are going to think I am crazy but I dont drink coffee. I just dont like the smell of it or the taste. My morning treat is a soda. Terrible..yes I know but hey your coffee isnt that great for you either ;)


3. If you could choose your own name, what would it be?
Hmmmm... I dont know. I would love to have a name that is a little more girlie. Alot of times when I am out they are looking for a boy when they call my name. I mean honestly how many girls do you know named Tyler. I mean I guess that it is good because it is unique and all but cant it be unique and girlie?!


4. Were you ever bullied?
Not that I really remember. I am sure at one point or another I was though. I mean what kid doesn't have to go through that during their childhood. The good news is it obviously did not make a huge impact on me because I can not even recall an episode. Sorry! Boring answer I know.


5. How often do you eat fast food?
Way to often! Esp after we did the Hot and Healthy Through The Holidays with Mama M and Keely. Mama M specifically let us know what was in all that junk! I totally should never eat fast food again.. I would be a much healthier person but the reality is I prob. induldge about once a week...aaahhhh! There I said it.. please dont think I am a lazy fat good for nothing bum ;)

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure and head on over to Mama M 's blog and join in the fun! Hope you all have a fantastic weekend :)

Picture Wed.

I wont be too wordy this week I promise ;) Here are a few more pics that I took the second day I was down in Florida. Boy do I miss those warm temps. and that sunshine!

Me and Dad

Dad calls this "Tree Street".. I loved it... so pretty!!

This was the cutest little man .. he rode up and down the street and played music and all his little monkeys danced. Emma would have loved him!

Well that is the end of my Florida pictures.. until next time anyways ;)

Florida Getting to know YOU fun!

Alright girls! I did not want to miss Keelys "Getting to know YOU" fun two weeks in a row so I am going to sneak in a quickie ;) I am down here in sunny Florida hanging out but since Dad is napping thought I might could take five myself and sneak in a blog post. So lets get down to the action!

The questions this week are:

1. How often do you wash/change your sheets?
Usually about once a week or so. Sometimes every other week just depends on how froggy I am feeling that weekend.


2. When is your birthday?
I am a summer time baby! August 4th

3. Have you ever met a bloggy friend in real life?
Nope. I think it would be super cool bc alot of you I feel so close to! I will one day though...we need to plan a big blogging party sometime! How much fun would that be?!!?

4. Brad Pitt or George Clooney?
Brad Pitt if we can take him back a few years... like back before miss thang angelina jolie. He has turned a little crazy for me since she has come along.. but I could look past that if I had too! I mean come on it is Brad Pitt!!
5. If you could change one thing about your body what would it be?
Tummy fo' sho! I feel no matter my weight my stomach just wont go back to pre-baby flatness. Oh well I will I would not trade her for the world. The tummy can always be covered ;)

6. How often do you wash your hair?
I used to have to wash it every day because it would get oily. Now that I color it more it gets pretty dry and usually have to keep it down to every other day or else it will be a fly away frizzy mess!

7. Do you have pets?
I do. A seven yr old 95lb boxer. He is more like a horse than a dog. He is the most gentle animal I have ever been around but boy does he shed and drool....eeewwww

8. How many social networks do you belong to..if you had to give up one, what would it be?
I am on Facebook, bloggy world, and Twitter. I guess if one had to go it would be twitter. I mean only if I HAD to choose because I am pretty partial to all three ;)
 
Alright girlies... going to pack up and spend the last forty five minutes of my time here sunny florida with my sleeping daddy!
 
Thank you all so much for your prayers and support this weekend. Will post more on this weekend a little bit later.
 
Hugs!

Helllloooo Mr Sunshine

I am sitting down here in sunny Floride. It is pushing 70 degrees and not a cloud in the sky (well except for a few whispy ones here and there.. but lets not get technical). Last night we didnt make it to the house until like 130am. Ummm if any of you (esp my twitter peeps) know me then you know I am no longer a night owl.. I mean I am usually crashed by 10:30. So it was wwwaaay after my bedtime and my sweet daddy was already in his room so I did not get to hug his neck last night.

This morning however I awoke to his sweet face. He is so skinny. It is so hard to see. Oh how I wish he was healthy! He was in good spirits this am and wanted to take me out on his fishing boat (very small falling apart fishing boat that he has named Miss Emma Lee... after my emma.. sweet huh!?) So we headed out. Went to the bait store and picked up everything we needed and headed out to put the boat in. Let me just show you this little tiny fishing boat that he wanted to take me out in the OCEAN in! ummmm.. what was I thinking!

Here is Emma Lee in all her glory!! ;) (still on the trailor)

So we got the boat in the water and ready to go.. not an easy ordeal for a man trying to battle cancer ya know!? He is headstrong and wanted to share that moment with me so by golly we were going to go. Got the boat in and started.. piece of cake! THEN my friends.. the sterring column in the boat went out :( my heart broke for him. He wanted nothing more than to get out there on that water and fish. We worked on it until he could work no more..bless his heart. Took Miss Emma Lee back home and dad has headed up for a much needed nap.

While he has been napping I headed out to get some of my fav. bloggy friends a few great shots of the beach and sunshine! Enjoy. I will work on a few more pics and another post after dinner and stuff. Going to cook him a steak dinner tonight. Hope he is able to enjoy it with me.

Daddy working on the boat

A boat or two

A pigeon that came OUT from UNDER my table at lunch.. a little close for comfort ;)

Sorry about the terrible pic... this is what five hrs of sleep gets ya!

Paradise!

Talk to you all later!

Five Question Friday Fun!

Wooo Weee! So glad the weekend is finally here!! :)  Today is a day full of mixed emotions.. I will be boarding a plane this evening to go and see my Dad. I am thrilled about 70 degree weather, a walk on the beach, lots of time with my wonderful daddy, and just to hang out and soak up the moments. I will be missing my little one terribly! I have never been apart from her for this long. Also will miss my spectacular Derek but I know they will hang tough and somehow manage through with out me ;)

Well lets get down to business and hop on board with the fabulastic Mama M and do some Five Question Friday fun!

The questions this week are :

1. Have you ever hit an animal with your vehicle?

Oh gosh... do we even have to go here. This is one of the most terrible stories I have. I was driving down a long dark road (like the kind where wooly boogers live... ) and talking on my phone and paying about as much attention as a normal 16 yr old does. This little dog walked right out in front of me. I slammed on breaks but it was too little to late. I wasnt sure what to do.. I was scared to get out bc the wooly boogers may have came out.. so I drove like .5 miles to the boyfriend at the times house and was bawling my eyes out. I told him what happened so we got back in the car...went and got a neighbor and they came out and took him to the vet. The good news is the pup made it! The bad news I was a slobbery boogery mess in front of my boyfriend.. bummer! ;)

2. When you see a string on your clothes do you pull it off or cut if off?
Pull baby pull! If that doesnt work then I break out the scissors... but I am lazy and try to do as little as possible.

3. Did you have your own room or share a room when you were young?
I had it alllll on my own for a mere 11 years. Just my brothers shared. Then mom had my little sis (we are 11yrs apart) and we shared a room for a couple of years. It was hard sharing a room since we there was such a wide age range there but I love her to pieces now.. ya know now that she is out of my room and all ;)

4. Would you rather wear the same thing for the rest of your life or eat the same thing for the rest of your life?
Can it be yoga pants and a t-shirt? If so then that would be my choice. The thought of eating the same thing for the rest of my life would be just plain gross. I dont even like to eat the same thing two nights in a row if I dont have too.

5. What was your favorite TV show as a child?
hmmm. I am not sure but I loved Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Full House and those type things later on. Cartoon wise I loved the teenage mutant ninja turtles, smurfs, carebears... ya know that type stuff!

Alright girls off to rest up.. and  get everything ready for my trip this weekend. I will be checking in via twitter this weekend.. not sure if I will have time to post or not... we will see!

Picture Wednesday

Alright so I am not so good at being wordless.. so wordless wednesday does not really work for me. I do have a few black and white's but not a ton so I am making up my own thing here and starting Picture Wednesday.. lol

Here are a few pics that I took last weekend when we had a snow day (hopefully our last here in the south.)

Me and my girl sledding
