Sweet babies.

Flutter. Buzz. Happy as can be.
Playing with my baby brother, best friends are we!

Gotta have this....

Kim, Lacy and I had makeovers Saturday at JcPenny's before we went out for round two of Lacy's 30th B-day. We had a fun time trying new products and learning a few new trick....well there was one product I was interested in, I tried it out and now I will never leave the house without it. Here is the pitch.......

Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer
Your full-coverage insurance policy against all fading, creasing, melting, blurring, oil slicked and hard-to-blend eye-shadow accidents. Our silicone based eye-shadow primer transforms any eye shadow into a perfectly blendable, color-drenched, intensified version of its self, then locks it down perfectly `till you take it off. Our skin soothing formula evens out the skin tone on your lids and smoothes out lines while it secures a barrier between the oils of your skin and your makeup, so no shadow catastrophes will ever happen again. "Thank you Shadow Insurance, I can sleep better at night knowing you're on my side!"

OK that last bit was a little corney. Anyway, I just had to share this AWESOME product. I've used it everyday and my eyeshadow looks great ALL DAY!

Goodbye 20's...

Our sweet baby sister turned...gulp... 30...on St. Patrick's Day! It's really a cool birthday. Your birthday theme is always Irish, shamrocks and rainbows and your guaranteed all green gifts! Last night was no different. We all got decked out in our Irish/shamrock/green attire and headed over to Mamacitas for dinner and drinks. Our green gifts this year was a green purse with a green alligator print wallet and green flip flops! Plus, Kim put together a super cute little photo album of random pics. 30 years of giggles and mood swings! Then on to Sherlock's Pub. The place was packed, but so fun. People really turned on the green. Lacy's shirt was the best....Born Lucky! Happy O'Birthday Lacy!

Star of the week!!

Reed was selected as the STAR of the week. He will have his STAR info and pictures posted outside of his classroom all week. Way to go Reed! I couldn't just fill it in because A) I have horrible handwriting and B) I'm and art teacher... I can be a little creative. So I collaged his info.

Other things I want people to know about my sugar man......Reed loves to talk about dogs, balls and books. He loves to dance...just as much as Taylor. He's got an excellent aerobes. When he sings his voice changes....to a bass. He's definitely not a tenor. He's a fighter not a lover. Except when he has a bobo. All his bobo's need kisses.

Gone County ...

Ain't them there the sweetest Rooten Tooten Cowgirl & Cowboy. Gota love "Go Texan Day". Thanks to Mimi they both have cowboy hats. Yeehaw!

And the winner is.....

Well, not me. :) Cindy, our Life Skills teacher is the TOTY. I voted for her so I feel it was meant to be. And you want to know the funny thing.....she won by one vote. hee hee It was meant to be. :) I love my job and enjoy going to work everyday. The nomination has made me want to be a better teacher so when the vote comes my way again....I will definitely vote differently.

More Cake Balls....

This weekend I made two batches of cake balls....1) classic yellow cake, vanilla icing with chocolate coating and 2) strawberry cake, strawberry icing with white coating. Both were very delicious! I'm so excited, they are so easy to make. I'll definitely make this my signature dessert. My old signature dessert was mint brownies.

1 box of your favorite brownie mix
1 box of Andes Mints
1 cute tin

Bake brownies according to instructions on box. Once out of the oven and hot, unwrap mints and place on top of hot brownies. Use a spoon to spread melted mints evenly over the top of the brownies. They are ready to eat once cooled and mints harden. I then cut them into bite size pieces and transfer them to a cute tin.
