It's been a month? What? NO! you've got to be kidding me!

Well, I guess it really has. I've just been so swamped with work and family that I barely spend any time on the computer. Even now, I've got to go get Miss Pinks in the bed. I'm posting a pic for you guys since, believe it or not, Mr. Man is already 6 months old! Holy Crapola! He's getting so big and is doing more and more every day. Amazing little bugger. Well, he's not really little. He wears 18 months and up, but it isn't all pudge! He's LOOOONG! Big baby! LOVE HIM TO PIECES!!

Here is one of his Sissy feeding him imaginary food:

It was really sweet! He loves her so much.

I've got lots going on and a sleepy little girl that just fussed at me for not tucking her in, so I better go. I hope all is well out in the world. Hugs, love and all that jazz...

My Esty Shop

I neglect it all the time. I'm thinking I may close it and sell off all my beads. With the business, 2 kids and a house to run, I don't have time to think straight. I'll let you guys know if I have a big blowout sale and reduce everything.

Other than that, I'm busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. Yeah, I wrote that, no, I don't really feel that bad about it.

THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY! Hope you all have a great one!

OH! What pretty kids I have!

(don't you just want to eat those cheeks!)

(she's growing up so fast!)

My beautiful darlings!

THIS IS WHERE MY TIME GOES!!

but it's so worth it.

Sassy New Do!

Guys, she is growing up so fast!! I bet in a few years (like maybe only 2!) she's going to be as tall as me or taller. She decided to cut all her hair off the other day and I think it looks fantastic. Most of all, she loved it and the reaction she got from all her friends. What a lucky woman I am to have such gorgeous children! And she's thoughtful, kind and smart! There is a brand new girl in her class, so when we did the Valentine's Day cards, she gave one of the big ones to her best friend, and one to the new girl so that she could have something extra special since she's new. How sweet is that? Man, I just love her to pieces!!

Things have been busy, busy, busy here! But, I am going to try to post more often and actually check in on my blog buddies, too. Oh, I joined Weight Watchers at the end of January and I am just shy of losing 10 pounds! I've lost 11 inches off my waist and hips so far! WOO! Look out world, healthy Pinky coming through!

Alright, I've got to get to work. Hope you all have a Happy Valentine's Day!! Hugs n Luv!!

You see that paci?

Well I think it's SUPER funny. I may eat, I may not. But you can admire my cuteness while I decide. I also like to play in my jumperoo so much, that I pass out from exhaustion. No, I haven't been drinking, it only looks that way....

When I'm not trying to take over the world by being the sweetest baby boy evah, I'm totally loving my sister. She rocks!! Look, here we went to this crazy building because she won 2 awards for her art! Cool, huh? Both of them will go on to compete at the State Competition.

My mom is really proud of her! She was also in the local paper for the parade her class put on celebrating the Chinese New Year. Being 4 months old (already!) is tough, but it's not so bad when you have a super sister, a snuggly momma and a dad that lets me drool on him and he still love me anyway.

Whoa, it's been a long day.....

But these two make it worth it.

wazzzzzup!

Goodbye 2008

So here it is, the end of another year. I once again find myself sitting here wondering "where did it all go?" But I know the answer to that. I was pregnant for most of it, then the rest has been filled with baby-ness.

I was folding Mr. Man's laundry yesterday and I was thinking about how often I fold up his and Miss Pinks, I make sure it gets put up and that the house is mostly clean. I do what I can but it could be mopped more often. I try to make sure that Miss Pinks has her favorite juice and afternoon snacks and that Hubs has all his favorite foods, too. I make sure there are clean towels and that we never run out of hand soap/ toothpaste/ body wash/ shampoo.

I know that I don't always come out on top and that sometimes I'm a real pill to deal with, but I try. I try to take care of my family everyday. I make sure they all get hugs and kisses and comfort. I try to lend an ear for Hubs anytime he needs me to. I help with homework and I make sure baths are just right, not too hot.

I don't usually make resolutions but I think this year I'm going to try to treat myself a little better too. I put me last and I have got to quit doing that. Yes, I am a mom, wife, employer, friend, sister, daughter. But, I am ME above all else and I think it's time I remember that.

My 2008 was filled with so many wonderful and amazing things, I don't think I have to wherewithal to write it all down. So, I'll just say that it was grand. I have a new son, I have a spectacular daughter, I have a loving husband and a thriving business. May 2009 be blessed, too.

Cheers! and Happy New Year!!
