fustrating

BLAH! I want with all my heart to be able to take some great shots of my children.
but I STINK...STANK...STUNK!
Here are a few of my PopRockPrincess!

I had to B&W them to even get them to look viewable...I just don't know how to set up my lights and umbrella's.

going off to pout!

just maybe

you might get a sneak peek of the new carpet upstairs tonight. The man and his brother are up in the loft cutting our doors because his wifee got really thick antimicrobial padding!
we had a wonderful Thanksgiving and were planning to put up the tree and decorate tonight but I think that may be done Sunday after Church!
I still have a TON (seems like so much more) of things to get organized!

*UPDATE*

Here's the sneak peak~

from left to right:

Miley's BR door, stairway going down, door going to third floor and the girl's playroom door.

it's called friz-ahh :) (short shag)

we LOVE it!

We are THANKFUL

What God has blessed both Mark and I with!

We LOVE you, Hannah & Miley!

my miracle

I am so very thankful for both of my miracles...
but if you know Miley's story, and you have held her...
you have held a true MIRACLE!

Thankful

I am so thankful for my daughters giving heart.
she might be giving us a run for our money with the move, new school and different surroundings but she never ever thinks of herself first.


coloring a Thanksgiving card for her teacher.

Friday Fill In's / Fav Foto Friday

For You, Lisa!

Wednesday Blessing

today I pick Lisa Noel.
She is so much like me, in so many ways.
I can only pray one day I take half the amazing pictures as she does.
She has three handsome little men and a big guy.
She has a great sense of humor.
She has not been giving an easy life but keeps plugging along.
The thing most special about Lisa is we believe and serve the same God.
She has such a love for our Lord and loves serving him everyday.
Lisa volunteers in her church and loves giving back.
Have a BLESSES Day Lisa!

i'm back

did you miss me?

no really...we were priming our upstairs and so we had to unhook the wirless web.

I sure missed it, not to mention it took away our phone use also.

House Update:

We have to paint the trim in our bedroom and the girls playroom (and paint walls).

We have to finish priming the landing and than paint the trim there.

We have to rip up the bathroom carpet, prime and paint it. (and lay new floor)

Miley & Hannah's rooms are primed and the trim and doors are painted,

I just need to pick out their colors.

The carpet gets laid next Tuesday.

YIPPEE

We have been using our living room as a bedroom.

I will take a picture later. Not pretty.

Leaving you with a few pictures before making my next post!

Hannah was enjoying a brownie when she decide the quarter sized piece she had left was too much for her to finish.

I suggested she give it to Miley who was enjoying some cherrios in her highchair.

Five minutes later and one happy baby!

I here by promise it was NOT the whole brownie pan!

Bless A Woman Wednesday

so...each Wednesday I am going to pick someone who follows my blog to bless by words.
Play Along!
Today is Kristine.
This chic rocks, in every form of the word.
She is not only amazing, but very beautiful both inside and out.
She has one hot hubby and two beautiful daughters, R & M.
I don't know what has drawn me to this young lady...could be one of a million things.
We both love photography, our girls more than life, have the same taste is dressing our girls and the list goes on and on.
She is an incrediable wife to one awesome hubby.
They remind me of Mark and I in our :::coughyoungercough::: days!
Kris, my darling...you are a wonderful gal!
Have a BLESSED Day!

Miss Miles

miss miles is getting her first cold.
she had a flu bug at 4 months.
roseola just last week.
and now this.
I guess I should be feeling pretty blessed,
my kid's are very healthy.
she is extra whinny,
and always wants to nurse...
but this mama doesn't mind.
oh and extra talkitive.
and still so very adorable,
even with a snotty, running nose!

No, Not Me!

1. I did not sleep until 9:15 after being up EVERY hour last night, no not me!
2. I did not just eat 5 candy cane oreo's and shared one with Miss Miles, no not me!
3. I did not go to Gap.com and put 6 things in my shopping bag, no not me!
4. I did not click on Brandi's blog to read this and than again to get to Mckmomma's to add my name, no not me!
5. I do not think about deleting this blog everytime I post because I just don't have the nitch for writing and sounding intelligent and make people want to come read more, no not me.
6. I do not have horrible self esteem, no WAY not me!
7. I do not miss my hubby and Hannah right now (work & school), no not me!
8. I do know what I am cooking for dinner tonight, no not me! (can I do that)
9. I do not have 6 gallons of paint ready to go on my walls but am too lazy to start, no not me!
10. I did not complete my very FIRST "No Not Me"!

mommy and her matching PJ's

someday I will stop!
I have wanted these elephant ones since I saw them.
Picked them up yesterday but could not find them with feet.
Hannah's don't match exactly but the print is close enough.

Are they not just so adorable?!?!?!?!

shopping

today we have our annual *Sheidler Girl* shopping day.

Last year I was on bedrest and the year before I had came down with an awful flu.

This year I am really looking forward to it.

Not because I can actually go but because the man is going along with us and this year it will be the 5 of us girls (hope & eden already went) because we now have Miss Miles.

I will update later on our purchases.

I know Miles needs some fleece footed PJ's as it is a bit chilly in the top part of our new home.

our dining room rub. can't wait to get the wall paint on those walls!

family room, walls are going to be a yellow/goldish!

Proverbs 16:7

it's still full of boxes

and nothing went or is going as planned

but we are in none the less.

the girls approve

and most of all, the man approves!
