Copy Cattin' Again

Okay...so I think I'm just gonna steal everyone's ideas for posts...is that okay everyone??? Jennifer P. from Peterson's Go Public has a fun post up. If you've never been there...you should go...in fact, go now...'cause she's awesome and such a great writer...and such a cute family and a cutie herself...and well, we could all go on and on about how great she is but then I wouldn't get anything done :) But don't stay in her archives alllll day, come back here and leave me one of your favorite memories from reading my blog. Does that make sense? You don't have to have known me for a long time or anything....just comment on one of your favorite posts or two or three or whatever strikes your fancy! Thanks Jennifer for a fun idea!

STACI NEEDS.....

(Again...like most pics... no corelation with the post...I just happen to like this one of Connor and me from back in 2004! He's at his Mimi's (Thanks Mom!) having the time of his life...I was just missin on him that's all!

Ok Kat...I'm totally stealing your idea from your blog, k? Did you see that I finally added you to my favorite blogs?? It's not that you haven't been one of my fav's...it's just I kinda forgot how Brian showed me how to do it :( Remember, computer dummy here! So, today, I'm one child less...and what a difference that makes in getting things done! Anyway, I played around and I did it! Woot Woot! So, now back to stealing your idea...

So, here's what you do...google (insert your name here) needs...and see what comes up! Kinda funny! Here's what mine were ( didn't do 13 of them...but oh well..:

STACI NEEDS...

1) A name....okay, so...maybe a blog name...for real, instead of always posting under Brian and Staci!!!

2) Mascara---AND I DO! That is sooo funny!

3) To pay attention to what is going on in the industry! (Maybe the blog industry??? I so need to get with it and just learn how to do this bloggin' stuff!)

4) To email Nicole---Too funny! I just saw my cousin whom I haven't seen in almost 4 years (at the Journey concert a couple of weeks ago!) So, guess I need to get her email!

5) To go up and stop hiding behind the whole, "I'm black and I'm a girl so poop." Um, whatever????

6) A photo to post. Okay, alright already! I know...my last post was up for sooo long and not even a picture with it :(

7) To change her picture....yea, we've established THAT one!

8) Some counseling...yep, probably so!

9) Parties in France---um, okay...always up for a party! Does anyone have a great sitter that would stay here with my boys while I do this??

10) More air time...does this mean...on tv or just breathing....cause I do need to just breathe some times :)

So, that's ten! That was fun Kat! Thanks again...everyone stop by Sunshine and Lemonade because her blog is way cooler than mine :) Now, I guess I better find a picture to post with this :)

Truthfully...maybe I'm just a little cheesey and sappy...but I truly have ALL I need!

Ahhh, Refreshing!

Ok ya'll...it's RIDICULOUSLY hot out here in Oklahoma! Heat index of 102 today...I know, Phoenix is hotter...but yikes, that's hot for us Okies! Predicting 105 by the weekend! Sooo, I went through some of my drink recipes and found this one. Wish I could remember where I got it from so I could give them some propers....but, oh well. (Maybe it was EatBetter America??) We made this with our lunch yesterday and it was oh so refreshing :) Wish I would've taken pictures :( Hope you give it a try!

Pineapple-Limeade
1 cup sugar
1 cup lime juice, chilled
6 cups pineapple juice, chilled
2 liters sparkling water, chilled
lime slices for garnish

Mix sugar and juices in a large glass or plastic pitcher. Pour half of that mixture into another pitcher. Just before serving, add the sparkling water and serve over ice. Garnish with lime slices if desired.

Cash for Gold Anyone??

I am CRACKING up...Today while I was throwing some dinner together, the boys were watching some movie on Disney. Here's what I hear:
Connor: "Mommy, do you have any extra gold laying around...like jewelry?"
Me: "Um, no, whhhyyy?"
Connor: "Oh there's this man that will give us cash for gold...some lady made $100 extra dollars!"

At this point, I almost burned my good hand because I was laughing so hard! So, to all my bloggin buddies...beware of the man that is telling your children to send in your jewelry for a little extra cash :)

Seriously

(These pictures have absolutely NOTHING to do with this post...I just love Jake's little reactions and expressions to seeing his first turtle. I was just looking around in some old photos and forgot about this!)

Okay, seriously ya'll...this week has gotten the better part of me. Throw in doctor's appnts, concerts, building a house...eeekkkk!!!! Decisions, decisions, decisions! Did I mention I am not good at making decisions?? So, sorry for the lame posts recently! (And it's still pretty hard to type with this cast on!)

In other sad news...I'm sure you all heard Randy Pausch died on Friday. If you do not know who this incredble man was..you should youtube The Last Lecture and listen to it. I wish I could link you right to it...but did you forget who's blog you are reading?? Anyway, please remember this precious family in your prayers.

In other fun news...The Amy Clan is getting a little pumped up for OU Football! Only 32 more days! It will still be so ridiculously hot those first 2 or 3 games but oh so worth it! Can you just hear that excitement in my typing?? In some polls, we have been ranked #2! I know, I know, it's preseason and all, but still! CANNOT WAIT!

Okay, so here's to hoping I have a better week at posting fun things! Enjoy your Sunday everyone!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY!!!

Sweet Brothers!

I know it's Wordless Wednesday..it's my first time to participate :) I have a little trouble being "wordless"! We have a sitter coming to play with these little guys and we are off to see the Journey, Heart and Cheap Trick concert tonight with about 15 other of our friends!!!! CAN NOT wait! I've gotta get some big hair goin' and brush up on the lyrics to Faithfully :) ,the gates open at 4:30!!! I'll report tomorrow :)

No Time!

Because I KNOW you guys are tired of seeing Brian with a mustache...

My children are being crazy this morning, we have friends coming over for lunch and I just needed to put a new pic up for you! This is a tribute to my new bloggy friend, Amanda who lives in Scotland!!!! So, I went through...VERY fast...of our pics when we there for our wedding. Try not to judge me by my sweater...remember it was almost 11 years ago and that was my most favorite sweater :0 Anyway...always envisioned The Loch Ness Monster being bigger, tee hee! (We are really corny...we do these shots with everything...I think we have one of the Washington Monument too!) Anyway, I'll try to come up with a better post soon...as for now, that's all I got!
