Private Time

I have been putting off this post for a couple days...but here goes. The other day I was writing a new post. I had just published the post & I saw that I had a comment. The comment was from some 'person' named duoum. It said Look at this, click HERE. Of course, innocently(or ignorantly?), I clicked where it said HERE, then it happened. My computer started acting up and apparently I had just gotten 20 plus viruses DOWNLOADED on to my computer!! I could not believe it!!!! What kind of creep would do something like that???? Well one that can obviously SEE my blog.

I wasted about 3 HOURS of my day trying to figure out what the heck was going on...3 HOURS that I I could have wasted doing something else!!! I am so grateful for my Dad & BIL Scott, who know so much about computers & tried to help me out. I realized that the "viruses" were all just a scam....a scam to try to get me to spend $50.00 to delete all the viruses. But I am SMARTER than that(although I was this close to paying the $50 because I was scared)!!

Anyways....I will be going private....so leave me your e-mail & I will add you to the list!!!! And watch out for weird comments left on your blog!

Happy Birthday x4

February has been a busy month for us....we have had 4 birthdays all within 1 week! Happy Birthday to Aunt Amy, Conner & Abby! Conner just turned 8 & was baptized & we were so sad we couldn't make it....our cousins live in Kentucky(yee-haw or shall I say brrrrrr) & we miss them a ton!! They are the funnest ever!
My mom's birthday is today!!! Happy 35th b-day mom!!! Layne always laughs at me because I never know how old my mom really is....she likes to fib...but I think she is a pretty good lookin' 35 year old! I never fully appreciated & realized how much my mother did for me, until I became a mom. With everyday that passes....I am more at awe of the sacrifices she made for me...because being a mom myself, I can now realize them a little bit more. Here are some of the many reasons why I love my mama:

*She is SO crafty & creative!!*

*She loves to spend time with her grand kids & is a wonderful grandma!*

*She has a MAJOR sweet tooth, she especially loves snaps, cinnamon bears & Diet Coke(w/vanilla).*

*She will do anything for anybody, at any time, even if she is super busy*

*Nothing ruffles her feathers*

*She is very thrifty & is the best coupon shopper I know*

*She is the best cooker & baker, Layne would prefer her meals any day over mine*

*She is very positive & fun to be around*

Enjoy your day mom, I LOVE YOU!!!

Stauffer Trim Work

So I am shameless....I am going to use this blog thing to promote a family business. My younger brother Scott (Ryan works for him too) has started a trim work company & I am helping get the word out. Are you wanting to add a little umphh to a room, but don't want to spend too much money? Call STAUFFER TRIM WORK, 480-430-3845!! They do everything from base, custom window sills, crown, chair railing, shelving, shoe racks and closets. My brother does it for a hobby so he doesn't charge as much as a big time company, because he has no overhead. So give them a call & finish THAT project. You know the one...the one you hope & pray your hubby will get too....Here are some pics from my parents house.......

Funny Daddy

I just love to hear the laughter of my kids....Layne was making Brody laugh extra hard tonight. So I decided to take a quick clip of it......

I am still surviving.....it seems to get harder each day, I already feel like I am 8 months along. But I can do HARD things, right(thats what I have to tell myself)??? We are trying to decide when to put Brody in a 'big boy bed'. Is 13 months too young for a big bed???? Do I really want two cribs? We put Carter in a normal bed at 18 months, what do you think...help I need some advice!

Growing too Fast

My baby boy, Caleb turned 5 yesterday!

Where has the time gone??? Here are some of my favorite things about Caleb. I could go on & on about him, but I will spare you the super long post!!

*He has such a tender, sensitive spirit.*

*His smile*

*The way he says "By mom, I love you" as many times as he can before the garage door hits the floor. Also, every time I drop him off for shcool he makes sure he says "I love you" at least twice...it melts my heart!

*How he loves babies and is a great help with Brody*

*How he always is in a good mood when he wakes up in the morning, at the exact same time, every day*

*The way he welcomes me with a big hug when I get home as if I was a movie star*

Its amazing how much a child can change your life. Caleb has forever changed mine.....to many more years to come!!
