Make UP!

Yes, that's make up...she applied it herself.
.
See how PROUD she is?
.

This little love of mine was being way too quiet and just as I was about to go upstairs to check on her she comes down the stairs and says 'LOOK MOM! I so pretty :)'
Then she said 'Come here, I put it on you!'...so I bent down and let her apply it to my face as well:) I love kids! Especially my own.

Pumpkins..

OH how I love pumpkins! Every season brings something in particular that I love and fall/Halloween is pumpkins.
.
I want them EVERYWHERE!...and here's where I've started.
.

For some reason the fall season makes me want to get my 'craft' on C:
I go crazy in my head thinking of all the changes and redecorating I want to do to my house!
I want to LOVE my home and (when dwelling in it) want to look at every nook and think it to be pretty...(I literally lose sleep because my mind won't stop)
.
I have this 'habit' of surfing the net looking at tons of decorating ideas..(like I said mostly in the fall).....
So, I've been painting my kitchen cabinets. I wanted a project to keep me busy while Harley was away on his trip and ended up with WAY more than I bargained for!!!
I wanted to do them 'right' so my mom and my future sis~in~law have been coming up to help me with whatever I need. 'Sigh' I am, however, completely in LOVE with how they're turning out! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
.
Pics will be posted soon!

Family

Harley sent me this picture of himself...
.

....Because I sent him this...
.

I'm missing this man like CRAZY! I've heard absence makes the heart grow fonder and can say for me it is true :) With a lot of 'issues' going on with my extended family I've really missed having him here to comfort me and assure me that things will be fine :(

I found this picture (above) of my sweet babies and am not sure why I never posted it. Isn't this one of the sweetest images you've ever laid your eyes on?? Avery still beats on Cash but, I know she loves her brother so much...She's always worried about where he's at and what he's doing....She loves her FAMILY.

"The Strength of a family, like the strength of an army, is in its loyalty to each other'~Mario Puzo........I'm going to end that quote with words of my own, "And letting go of those who seek to destroy that loyalty."~Angela Meyer
.
I LOVE this quote. I LOVE my family.

My mother is THE most amazing person I know. She's dealt with many 'unfortunate' things in her life; from accusations to malicious words of others :( For her to still be standing true to herself and her family is an awesome thing to witness.

....Lastly, my sweet dogs show me every day that no matter how much we may 'bug' each other there are those moments we're 'caught' showing tolerance and love for one another.

True family bonds are the most important bonds we'll make on this earth. It's my belief that you don't have to be of blood relation to make these bonds and call an individual family.

This is how I roll...

This is Averys outfit the second week of pre~school...
We all woke up late that morning and I was SCRAMBLING to find something for this poor child to wear. I grabbed this shirt, threw it on her and she looks at me and says, "I get to wear pirates today?!" LOL! I said YES! If only you could have seen the pure excitement on her face!
.

In the bottom of this picture you can see Tito licking her hand :) This is a rare occasion and am happy it was caught on camera!
Avery GQ pose is entertaining to say the least.
LOVE you Aves c:

Going Private

After careful consideration I've made the decision to make my blog private. Please send me your email addresses to meyer_harley@yahoo.com

Sunday Morning Thoughts

Harley left for Florida on Thurs. morning...
I'll admit I wasn't super excited about him going on this trip; mostly because of the whole idea of riding a motorcycle across the country bit ;)...

This little girl loves her daddy so much....it's been rough on her without him :(

It's been only a LITTLE different without Harley around. I'm doing a big project while he's away to keep myself busy...I'll post pics when I'm done! (If I can get it done in a week)

I'm really happy fall is here! I'm ready to start playing Christmas music! (don't judge, I know it's early and lame) but, I have so much to be thankful for and this time of year always reminds me of that!

My Little Scientist

Last week Avery had her first day of pre~school and they played the 'hot lava' game...

Harley has been wanting to re~create a Volcano with Avery for a while now so........
We did it! I went outside and got some dirt wet, dug it up, put it in
a casserole dish, brought it inside and molded it in the shape
of a volcano...

Here's the masterpiece! I added baking soda, vinegar, dish soap, and red and yellow food coloring. Avery FREAKED out when this thing started bubbling.
Then I touched it and she REALLY freaked out! SO funny! She kept screaming 'You're
going to get BURNED!
I love that she's in pre~school and learning so much...
I love her :)
