We are young by the band named Fun!
Today I was on my way to work and this song came on the radio. My car tells the artist and name of most songs that come on the radio but this one only said "We are young". No artist.
I knew I had heard it somewhere but I couldn't put my finger on where?
It was very happy, uplifting and fun to sing along to.
I got to work and was singing it in my head all happily :) Then it hit me.
I don't watch Glee often but for some reason I felt like I'd heard this song on Glee once before. Sure enough I google it and yep, Glee did a cover of this song. I found out the name of the group and ended up listening to it with some co workers. We all love it now.
I decided that I should share it with you guys. Its happy and uplifting. Songs can make me feel good and pumped up. I'm definitely a mood person when it comes to music and I believe that it can help a mood or you can wallow if that's the mood your in.
So check this song out. I think you'll feel good after hearing it. I feel like its contagious!
ENJOY :)

Pinterest saving/costing me all sorts of money!
Pinterest. What a wonderful place I have become obsessed with for a while now. I have established more than 2-3 years worth of home improvement, renovation, upgrading, art projects, ect....
Don't get me wrong, I get great recipes, and fashion ideas and all sorts of hair styles and different fun things I can do also.
This sounds great doesn't it. All these awesome DIY projects that I can do for so much less. So many great ideas. The only problem is that I'm obsessed and I can't ever find the time or the money to do them all. There is way to much in my "To do to the house" list.
We live in a smaller home. Its our first house and we have lived here for nearly 8-1/2 years now. We don't intend on living in this house past another 2 years. We have already ripped up all the carpet and put down hard woods through the entire house. We repainted each and every wall, cleaned and repainted cabinets and have decorated throughout. Thus completely transforming the little place. However its not what I want it to be. I have all these things I want to do. So much that I see I can still fix up and change. So many art projects I could conjure up to add a little more character and pizazz.
One of the humongous ginormous things I'm wanting to do so badly it hurts is....... Redo the entire kitchen. Yes CRAZY! I know.
Let me set one thing straight though. The floor has nice tile we wouldn't be changing. The appliances are all updated and stainless and nice. The only (ha only) things I'm referring to changing is this list of things.
Sand and strip each cabinet and drawer and repaint white.
Get new counter tops (pricey considering we have quite a bit of counter space).
repaint the nook and kitchen
Add a new back splash in the kitchen
Add a window seat with cushions and pillows and get a new kitchen table
Add curtains and a rug to the nook
Redecorate all walls and counter tops.
Wow! Come on I know your all thinking it and sighing with the rush of way to much to do. Not to mention its all worth nothing but my happiness for about one to two years.
We have upgraded this house to the point that any additional upgrades are for us and we will never get our money back. We have already put to much into it.
I feel like I will be wasting money I could be putting back for a roomier newer home. That's what we should be doing with any extra money we have. But I live here. This is our house for I would say at least two more years. That's not that long right. WRONG. It feels like a while to me. Cooper will be nearly 5 years old, Blake nearly 3. We will hopefully be working on number 3. That's a ways off in my mind. That's a while to not do these things that I can't kick from my mind. I've been thinking about this for years now and each year I talk myself out of it. Which is probably best. I know I can do just some of the projects. The less pricey ones. But I'm sort of an all or nothing kind of girl. I want to do the full vision and not just half. I know that sounds so silly.
Pinterest is great. I love it, but at the same time its only giving me even more creativity than I had before. I've always been a creative person. But when given even more ideas and things I can tweak and make my own. I've gone into creative overload and nothing is good enough unless its redone and made exactly what I'm now visualizing.
I have to find a way to control the urge to constantly have new inexpensive and expensive pinterest projects.
And that's my confession for the week. I'M A PINTERAHOLIC! HELP!

8 months already!
Our sweet little Blakey love is already 8 months old. She is getting so big and doing so much its insane.
Your crawling quickly and pulling up to standing. You even stand all by yourself for a while before falling over. Your walking while holding onto our hands (unsteadily).
Talking gibberish up a storm. Always smiling and giggling and talking to us.
You are wearing size 12-18 month pants and the same for shirts. You are in size 3 shoes and weigh around 21 lbs. You love your big brother and you don't like to be alone. When we walk out of the room for literally a second you are quickly on our heals crawling behind us wanting to be wherever we are.
You play so well with all your toys. Your favorite toy right now is your Minnie mouse doll we got you for Christmas. You drag her by her arm or leg all around the house.
You clap a really sloppy adorable clap and you wave but I don't think you realize your waving. You do the most hilarious leg arm flap crazy dance when you get in your bathtub. Its hilarious and adorable.
Still no teeth. Your going to be like your big brother and walk before you ever get your first tooth. That's fine with us, however you do it, it will be perfect.
You dance, you bob up and down and your little chubby bod is adorable when you dance :) I mean that in the nicest way :)
You striking a pose
Vogue!
Blakely is such a blessing. We are having so much fun watching her grow. She is the most cuddly loving child and she just forms right into you when we pick her up. So cuddly!
We love you so much sweetie! Happy 8 months!
Here's a pic of Cooper just because he's so dang cute.

Christmas with the Case's
I can't believe Christmas 2011 is over.
We had a great Christmas filled with lots of family and laughter. Santa came and blessed the kids with way more than they ever need. They are loving everything they have :)
We spent Christmas eve morning with my family. Christmas eve night with Julian's family. Then Christmas day we did our own Christmas at our house and my parents came over. We then went to church and over to my grandma's for the rest of the day. My husband and I both have big families so both days were filled with lots of people and fun.
Cooper is just so sweet. He says the most hilarious things. He always has us laughing. Just a few weeks ago my brother was here eating dinner and Cooper was so excited and hyped up that he was here with us that he threw his food. He of course got into trouble. He cried because he was embarrassed. So after talking to him about it I said "I'm sorry I got mad at you, but you need to listen to mommy. I love you".... He says nothing back. I say "can you say I love you back"? So he leans in as if he's going to give me a kiss and says to me in whisper "no I can't". HAHAAA, I seriously cracked up. It was so funny.
He thinks he's monster and he says "I'm a monster" and he growls at whoever is nearby. Even if we are out in public. I do laugh but at the same time I'm like "Stop it Cooper, please don't growl at those people".
Blakely started to full on crawl and is even pulling up into the standing position all by herself. She isn't cruising yet but she is pulling up on furniture and standing there. I always stand there really close by just in case she is about to topple over.
What a big girl she is. She is sleeping better, still having issues sleeping through the night though. She still laughs out loud at her big brother. They are like best buds.
I hope you all had a great Christmas as well and a very happy new year!

December 15th 2011, Blakely is 7 months old today!
Happy 7 months sweet girl!!!
Time is flying but when do I not say that, Isn't it always passing by to quickly?
You are such a light in our life. What a happy smiley lovable cuddly baby love you are.
I love you more and more every day and I don't even know how its possible to love you more. Just when I think I'm more in love than a mommy can be I fall more in love with you.
Your bright blue sparkly eyes, Your big huge dimples :) Your humongously adorable cheeks, your sweet voice when you talk to us, Your smiley happy personality that is so often surrounding us. You are by far the most cuddly baby I've ever known. You will lay your head down on our chest or neck at any chance you get and you leave it there to cuddle with us for as long as we need you to. Truly such a sweetie!
You have started to get a tiny bit of a diva attitude. You prefer to be in a room where everyone is. You want to go wherever mommy, daddy and brother go. You are a people person. You love to play in the bath, you love toys and chewing on anything you can get your hands on. Still no teeth though.
Your trying to crawl. You can rock like your going to do it but you only crawl backwards for now. You just started to eat baby food and you LOVE it. Why am I not surprised. You have always been a really good eater :)
You weigh around 20 lbs and you are very tall. You wear 9-12 month shirts and some of them are a little snug so you might actually really be in 12 month shirts. You wear 12-18 month pants. You are in a size 3 shoe as of this week.
You sit up like a champ and go from sitting to crawl position and back to sitting. You want to pull up on furniture so bad, just this week you have been trying to pull on anything you can but your little feet just aren't sturdy enough yet to hold you straight up and you usually end up toppling over before you even get close to standing :(. Sad but cute.
You absolutely ADORE your big brother Cooper. He is your best friend and you smile and laugh at him anytime he's near you. You love him so much and you light up at the sight of him.
He love you so much back, always going to check on you or making you laugh by leaning over you and blowing on your tummy. What sweeties you guys are.
Next week we will celebrate your very first Christmas. We are so blessed and happy to have you in our lives Blakely. Mommy and daddy and Cooper and all of our family loves you more than words.
God: Thank you for the beautiful blessings you give to me and my family. Our beautiful children! They are such a wonderful gift to our lives. Sweet Blakely turns 7 months old today and we are so happy to have her happy smiling face gracing our every day. God please watch over our sweet children keeping them safe from harm alive and well, and again thank you so much for them :)
Please help Julian and I to be the wonderful parents that our babies deserve to have.
AMEN!
Lastly, I will be posting pics of both kids very very soon. I have so many new ones I'm just going to do a giant picture post :)
