Throw back Thursday

 

 

Its fun looking back at all the pictures of the past and remembering all the memories and fun times. It always makes me sad seeing all Lucas's pictures from when he was little. I miss him being small, and it makes me realize how fast he's growing. But I do love looking back at all the fun things I've done with him and places I've taken him!

 

 

 

Lucas almost 3. So cute playing with his tool set! Oh how I wish I could go back to this age. So fun and curious!. I miss him being so little!

2 months after turning 2 years old. He was helping daddy with the yard work. So cute!!!

 

First day of preschool!. My big boy! 5 years old off to preschool at Regina Coeli. How adorable he looked!

 

Karate boy!.. Lucas loved karate! This was also taken when he was 5. I'm hoping to put him back into it if I con him into it lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Preschool graduation was so cute! They all dressed in red white and blue and sang songs. The they recieved their preschool diploma. After that they had ice cream sundaes for everyone, played a DVD of all the kids pictures throughout the year, and even handed one to all the parents! So cute!

 

My 26th birthday present from Lee. Detroit Lions tickets!!! They played the 49ers. Amazing game! Best game out of all sports by far I been to!! Had an amazing time. Love my Lions!!!

 

Lucas and I picking strawberries! Something different and fun to do. He had so much fun! He was 4 here.

Reading list for the summer

 

So many books... I could consume my days with books. It let's me escape reality and opens up a whole new world that I can explore with just a flip of a page. Open your mind and take an adventure. Sometimes I get in the mood to read a chic book. Where it makes me all giddy and takes me away to that fairy tale love that gets most girls. Lol. Yeah even though I'm not a typical girl, I still like that fairy tale love story. Sometimes I want a non fiction book, or crime/thriller, maybe even a sy-fyi book. Everyone has their preference. I read all along the map.

So far this is the list I have come up with that I just HAVE to read!

If I Stay by: Gayle Forman

Looking for Alaska by: John Green

Where She Went by: Gayle Forman

Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F. Kennedy by: Mimi Alford

11/22/63 by: Stephen King

Claim me by: J. Kenner

Complete Me by: J. Kenner

The City by: Dean Koontz

Flowers in Attic by: V.C Andrews

Petals on the Wind by: V.C Andrews

If there be Thorns by: V.C Andrews

Seeds of Yesterday by: V.C Andrews

Garden of Shadows by: V.C Andrews

 

Paper Towns by: John Green

An a Abundance of Katherine's by: John Green

Labor Day by: Joyce Maynard

Leaving Time by: Jodi Picoult

Dark Witch by: Nora Roberts

Shadow Spell by: Nora Roberts

Blood Magick by: Nora Roberts

Trust me. I'm sure there are more. And many more I will come by or Others that I'll pick up because I just HAVE to have it and skip some on the list. It's what I do. And also depends on the type of book I'm in the mood for. Take my advice. Figure out your type of book and give it a try. What's the worst thing that could happen? You don't like it and you waisted a little bit of time that would've probably been waisted on tv anyways? :)

Happy this week

Happy this week

It's nice to looks back and reflect on the week in a positive note. Everyone has negative and upsetting moments. Sometimes we are so consumed by the negative that we forget to focus on the positive.

**On the 21st Lee and I went and seen Chevelle down at the HollyWood Casino. GREAT show! Chevelle was amazing!! Perfect weather it was cool out. Some drizzle during the last 2 songs but didn't even notice since I was to busy enjoying the show! And of course Pete was hot!

**Saturday Lee, the kids and I, Wendy, Chris, Helen and her boys all went out on the boat. Drank some beer, anchored the boat and did some swimming, and went tubing. It was so much fun. The came back the the camper and cooked out, drank, had a fire, kids fished (Lucas caught a catfish!) made s'mores, and hung out. All the kids came back to our house. Had a great time. It was very much needed to get out, let loose, and have some fun!

** Walked along the beach, sat along the shore listening to the water crash the shore. Then Went driving around saw some cranes, well a bunch of cranes, through a few different parks. It was rainy out but still made the best of it. Stopped off at one park and had a blast skipping rocks. Something so simple that is just so fun! It's so nice to get out and enjoy the little things in life. Would've stayed longer if the damn horseflies didn't eat us alive! One of the best days I have had in a long time.!

** Took Lucas off the meds that were making him sleepy all day with just a dash (yeah right how about a ton lol) of whinniness and attitude and put him back on his old meds. The first day of being back on old meds he was my happy boy again. We were standing in line at Rite Aid Wednesday and he just gives me the biggest hug and says "I love my mommy" that's all I need to melt my heart. I cherish those moments. All the rough days we have I'll take for the moments like those, they make it all worth while!

**Watching Lucas play, scream, and have a blast in the pool. Alone! Lol. He was having the time of his life!

** Great conversation with a good friend.

**Taking a full day and doing nothing but laying on the couch watching hallmark movies all day! Never get days like that for myself!

**Lucas and I getting invited for a Detroit Tigers Game with a good friend and his daughter! Our favorite baseball team, my first time at Comerica park and Lucas's first Tigers game! Super excited!

What made you happy this week?

Happy this week

I got the idea from my favorite former teachers. I follow her blog and she does Happy this week every week. She writes all the different things that made her happy during the week. She has the most incredible stories. I just love reading what she has to say! So I figured I'd start!

This week was a really good week.

I had a fantastic Mother's Day!!! Although I had to work. (What else is new!) when I came home Lee and a Lucas really made my day! They really showed how much they appreciated me! I walked downstairs to get ready for work and Lee had a bouquet of daisies in a vase on the breakfast bar. When I came home he had 3 small gift bags with cards around the vase of flowers. So I opened up all my cards (4) lol then Lucas handed me one bag which was a bead for his birthstone for my bracelet. Then there was one for Lexi's, the last bag had a best mom charm (Lucas picked out by himself) and the Lions charm I had been wanting. So then my phone rings and I go to answer it and there was a sweet ass Detroit Lions case!.. Then Lee had a towel covering the stepping stones they made me so I couldn't tell what they were. They turned out amazing!!!! Best I've seen yet! Lucas made me a question book about mom in school. The answers are real cute lol, he also made me a flower all made out of his finger print with a poem, and planted a seed in small flower pot. They spoiled me! Then we did ice cream and ordered pizza. I wanted to stay in, all I do is work so being home was just what I wanted!

 

We also got all dressed up he was in a tie! Haha and I was in one of my favorite dresses I recently bought. And we went to his buddy's wedding.

Thursday it was gorgeous out! So we took the kids out for Mexican and ate on the patio. We all had a good time smashing on great food and goofing off. I needed that. I don't get that often anymore!

I've had a really good week. I'm getting used to working 7 days a week without a day off. I'm still tired but I think next week I may be FINALLY ready to start unpacking lol. Sad, real sad! Been here a month and Lee has done most of it lol!

Oldnavy white jeans review!

I received a coupon in the mail for a pair of Old Navy white jeans for myself and a friend. I was asked by Crowd Tap to review the jeans that I purchased.

I probably wouldn't have purchased a pair if it wasn't for the mission from Crowd Tap. Not that I don't like Old Navy because I so. I but Lot of my clothes there, but because me and white clothes don't seem to see eye to eye lol. I always, I mean ALwAYS seem to attract something onto my white clothes lol. So needless to say I was excited to get a pair!

I love them! I got the Diva bootcut.! Super cute! Love them! They really give my outfit that pop for spring! Today I wore them with light pink old navy flip flops and a light blue and white checkered flannel with a black tank top under. It felt so light weight! And it totally gave me that spring/summer feel! I'm so glad that I got a pair! They are one of my favorite pants now! They are super comfy and light weight . Even if its hot you won't over heat in a pair!

They also aren't super expensive. (Sorry I don't remember the exact price) but definitely reasonable! They have a bunch of different types for different types of bodies! I love that!!

So if your looking to give your wardrobe that extra pop, head on over to Old Navy for a pair of super cute white jeans!
