10 on Tuesday

1. I did something off of my "things to do in my lifetime list" on Friday. I rode in a hot air balloon. Okay so it was tethered and we only went up about 20 feet but hey it counts :) I have some pics but I have to play around with the lighting on them a little bit before posting. Wes (who didn't go up) forgot to set the lense to night so they are a little dark. But photoshop should work on them.
2. I have found a new gummy candy that I love love love. Sour Gummy Life Savers. I pretty much love all sour candy, so I am happy to find another to add to the list.
3. Starting this upcoming Sunday we are working Vacation Bible School at our church. Me and Wes will be working with preschoolers. Should be fun :)
4. Got a high school graduation on Friday night this weekend. And a wedding at the Huntsville Botanical gardens on Saturday. I'm really looking forward to the wedding. I bet it's going to be gorgeous. And I got a new dress for it so I am pumped :)
5. I am cleaning house today. It is gloomy outside, rainy and thundery, so I figured this would be a good activity to do today.
6. Finally watched American Gangster on Sunday night. I thought it was a good movie but man was it long. Also I was really amazed about the content of the movie. I was impressed with Russell Crowe's acting in it.
7. We also rented Untraceable and I think we are going to watch that tonight.
8. I am getting my haircut this week.
9. Gas has skyrocketed lately. It has me planning better my trips into town. Sunday we paid $3.89/gallon!
10. My cousin Will's girlfriend had their baby Friday morning. They had to do an emergency c-section on her because the baby was laying breech in the birth canal. But he's fine, weighed 7lbs 12ozs and had a headful of curly black hair. His name is Landon Bryant. I will get to see him Friday night.
Happy Tuesday all!

Sunday thoughts

It's 8am and I am fixing to head to get ready for church. I was thinking and I have so much to be grateful for.

1. My family, both biological and inherited :) Though at times they drive me crazy or I drive them crazy, I am lucky to have such a wonderful one.
2. My friends. I have some great ones. Old and new.
3. My husband. I really don't know what I would do with out him. He is my rock.

This weekend has been awesome so far. We saw Ironman Friday night. Run don't walk to your nearest theater and see it. It was Wes' pick and I wasn't sure about it going in. But man was it a great movie. Sidenote...do ya'll remember Mr. Stephen's from Cedar Ridge..taught art...do ya'll remember how he made us listen to that song when we were working?
Saturday we spent a lot of the day at the Honda dealership in Florence. But I got me a new ride :) It's a 2008 Honda Accord LXP and um yeah I love it.
Here is a quick picture of it sitting in our driveway that I took this morning.

Then we headed to Mr. Dash's 1st birthday. I took pics but due to the fact that it is other people's children I'm not publishing their pics on my blog without permission. I'm sure though that Colleen will have pics on her blog soon. (and I'm needing to memorize how to link...I have the info in my office but I'm in the living room and right now just to lazy to go get that piece of paper.) But most of ya'll that read my blog read her's too...so just go check it out when she gets them up. Oh and Roz and Patrice I have a couple of pics of ya'll and the girls. I'll email them to ya if you want...just let me know. Here is one pic of me and Wes at the party though. Excuse my hair...it's in desperate need of a haircut and I am working on that. :)

It was great seeing everyone there and Colleen, you did excellent with the festivites :) Man I can't believe he is a year old already!
Then after we went there we had to go to my friend Jennifer's grad party. So we had a day full of parties.
Today we are going to church, then shopping for Wes some shorts. I'm just super excited that he is back on his normal schedule and that we get our Sunday's back :) I wasn't liking the ones where we'd only get to go to church then he'd have to get back here so he could nap before having to go in to work.
Hope everyone has a great Sunday. Maybe this week will fly by because next weekend is a three day one...and the official kick off to summer!

My bubble crazy niece

Here is a video of Macy, mom, and Susan playing with bubbles this past Saturday. Forgive my not that great videoing skills :) Also make sure your volume is on so you can hear her talk.
Also below that is a couple of pics :)

10 on Tuesday except for it's Monday

1. T-Minus 5 days until the new car joins the McClanahan family.
2. I got the cutest video of Macy Saturday. We had my family over for a Mother's Day cookout. We were playing out front with bubbles and I recorded it all. It's got some funny parts. I'll post it later this week.
3. A special little boy is turning 1 this week :) I bet his momma would like to slow down time :)
4. Babies are all around. Congratulations to Lauren and Kevin. A little one is on the way for them to love :) They will be awesome parents.
5. Wes is still working 12 hour shifts but at least he's back on days.
6. I'm sooo ready for Disney World. It's about 6 weeks away.
7. We have some awesome new neighbors. They are from Trinity. They laid sod in their sides and back yards Saturday and they had like 2 and a half pallets left. So they gave it to us for FREE!! It was enough to do a decent portion of our side yard and probably saved us about $200 when we order the rest this week. Now I need to do something nice for them to say thank you.
8. I scored some deals at Old Navy. Got me some summer clothes :)
9. Wes has decided to take up golf. I'm getting him some brand new golf clubs for our anniversary. His old set needs to be replaced.
10. 4 classes to go with grad school! Woot Woot! Taking two this June and two this fall. I'll be super glad to be finished!

Hope everyone has a fantastic week!

I need some motivation!

It's raining outside. All I want to do is sleep! But I have a house to clean up. I'm trying to de-clutter and reorganize some stuff. Then I also need to clean before Saturday. Actually I need to do the cleaning part today because I need to prepare for the cookout on Saturday, tomorrow. That means grocery shopping for the stuff, and preparing anything that can be prepared ahead.
I have zip, zilch, zero motivation. And the rainy day is just making it worse! But I have to do this because as much as I love my mother she totally checks to make sure my house is in order anytime she visits lol :) So yeah I feel like it has to be up to standard :) Anyone else's mom do this? I find it funny most of the time.
I also have 20 thousand other little things to do that I keep putting off. I just need to kick my butt in gear! Need motivation...hmmmm I guess I could use the fact that I love the freshness of a newly cleaned house :) Okay going to put my ipod on and get busy!
Happy Thursday everyone!!

PS. Tonight is Wes' last night of night shift!! He goes back to his normal shift on Monday.
Woot Woot. I'm so happy because my schedule can get back on gear now :)
