G-man turns TWO!

Can you believe it?  My sweet little man is already 2.  Seems like his birthday was just yesterday:

I was working up G-man's Vintage Truck party post, but.... ugh, my internet is not cooperating.  But stay tuned - today was an amazing day!

A date with a Firefly and Busy

I've been Busy. Which is funny because.... after a few wks of insanity, Mr. Fix-It and I took tonight off. No running here and there... no late night at work.... no 9pm dates with the treadmill. We mixed up some sweet tea vodka and watched 3(!!) episodes of Cougar Town (on tivo, duh, so it was quick. But I never just sit and watch tv - fun!!) That show is hil-arious! Funny thing is... one of Courtney Cox's besties is this girl and her real life name is Busy Phillips.

Seriously.... why didn't my parents name ME Busy?!  ;)

But after a few months of blogging hiatus, I promise I'm back and I'm working on a few fun things!  I want to share G-man's Semi-Homemade Vintage Truck party (which was last weekend) and some updates on the new Semi-Homemade House!

Going, going, GONE!

Any of you remember what gave me 2 painting projects, caused me to go thru a bottle of rubbing alcohol, and had me answering questions about my baby for 4 months?

Yep, it's (FINALLY!!) paid off - I'm sending the last payment right now!  Woo hoo!  G-man graduated from his doc band ("helmet") almost 15 months ago....

and it's finally falling out of the monthly Semi-Homemade budget.   It was a nightmare with insurance (who didn't pay one cent towards it!), but when I look at that beautiful head... it was all worth it.

Cheers to my beautiful "baby" boy!  And here's to hoping that we never go thru that experience again! :)

We heart America!

Wishing your family a safe and blessed 4th of July! 

We had so much fun at the kids' parade yesterday! :)  (mr. fix-it thought g-man looked like a little Shriner!  so cute!)

This is frick and frack... ;)  Big Sis and her bestie.  They're always together... and usually oblivious to the world around them.

I actually got in G-man's face as he came past us and he did.not.see.me.  He was so overwhelmed...  he just grabbed his teacher tight and marched, LOL.

Big Sis grabbed Bestie and they marched with Brother...

And here's to remembering the meaning behind this special day.


Happy 4th, y'all!

xoxo,
