Serenity has a Ballet date!

I just dropped Serenity off at Ballet and finally got to meet BFF Mayan. She is such a sweet little girl. Serenity started talking about her a few weeks after school started and then she started Ballet and she is also in her Ballet class with her. So we had the parade this weekend as well and they were in the parade together and got to sit with each other too.
So Mayan's mom asked my husband if she could go to the Nutcracker Ballet with her because she lets her daughter take a friend every year. So of course I said yes. I am so excited for her!
She is excited too! I am so glad that she is making friends on her own, not that I didn't think that she would, just that I am glad she did.

Rudoloph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Cookies

I will be making these bad boys for my daughters class when she has her Christmas party at school.
I thought that they were the cutest thing and the best idea to go along with the Christmas theme.
So easy to make as well.

You will need:
nutter butter cookies
chocolate chips
red m&m's
pretzels
powdered sugar

all you have to do is dip the nutter butters into the chocolate once you've melted it of course and then apply the m&m's as the nose and a dab of frosting as the eyes and I took a black edible marker and made the centers of the eyes as well. And then attach the pretzels as the ears as well.
So easy Like I said and so cute too!

Hope you enjoy making them as much as I did.

(sorry if the instructions are so bad, its just that I am not that great at writing them down)

The winds are singing

Its so crazy! I am sitting outside writing this blog and I love that I can hear the chimes of the wind chime that my momma gave me when I last saw her. Its heaven sent. I feel her presence as the wind blows past the bars and they jingle together. I hear them all the time outside my window and front door.
I love the sound, because its a beautiful chorus that the wind makes.

I feel as though she is with me or around me when I hear it. It makes me feel good inside and I know that she is with me. It's something that I hold close to my heart and that I will cherish forever. It's as though she is singing to me as she did when I was a child.
Thank you momma for your beautiful song.
Thank you Lord for the thoughtfulness!

whats been going on?

Wow, I haven't been very social lately with my blogging friends.
I hope that I can get back to blogging as much as I used to.

This weekend is going to be packed full of fun and chaos.
I'm ready for it though.
Serenity has a Ballet performance in the Harbor Lights Parade this Saturday. Its going to be an all day thing and its colder than icicles outside. Brrrr!!!!
She and I both are extremely excited. She has been practicing so hard on her performance and getting it just right. She is really looking forward to it. If I could put her in the class everyday I would; but they don't offer it everyday. stinks!
She is going to be dressed so cute and girlie. I am so happy with the costumes that they picked for the parade and performance, and the greatest thing is that it wasn't expensive. I will have to take pictures and post them later today.
I have already seen New Moon, but I am excited to be able to go with my girlfriend Lindey this weekend to go and see it again. She has yet to see it, and I want to see it again. I haven't seen her in a while, and what better way than to go to a movie and relax without the kiddo's if you get the chance. I'm really looking forward to it!

Andrew and I both have crazy schedules this coming week and I hope that we are able to keep up with them. We have so many appointments its crazy. Andrew has speech therapy sessions and other things and I have x rays to go through and then doctors appointments as well.
It's just going to be a crazy week.
Michael has exams all week for college and next week too and then he is done for the semester and then he starts up again next month.
I am so proud of him and the progress that he is making.
He is really doing well.
All in all we have been very busy and its about to get busier!
I love it!

Another Trip to the Park

Venting

Update: Michael's phone was found and returned... PRAISE GOD!

I am so aggravated with people in this world. Some people are just so juvenile. I hate the fact that wherever you go there is someone that is just so incompetent that they have to do something stupid. I am just venting here, but why would anyone steal something from anyone. Especially a cell phone. I am aggravated because my husband went to the hospital to pick up my prescriptions and he put his phone down for few seconds and some punk (glad I don't know who) stole his $300 cell phone. We never spend that much on a phone ever, but we did when he wanted the upgrade, well now, we no longer have that phone because some idiot stole it. UGH! I hate people sometimes even though I know that I shouldn't.
UGH!!!!
