Happy Blankie

ONE to Love, ONE to Give...

Isn't this just the cutest little blankie ever?!

I gave this heart shaped blankie to Baby K.  There are so many fabulous things about this little blankie.  Check out Happy Blankie now!

My friend Julie is the one that told me about these sweet blankies.  Her son, Mr. Jackson has a Monkey and its adorable. They have them in all sizes, I got Baby K the small one, that she can use for a security blankie if she wants.  They also have animal shaped blankies and they are all so cool. 

Basically, this lady's son (7 years old), wanted to do something for others, and he thought every boy and girl needed a blankie no matter what.  So when you buy a Happy Blankie, the recipient will get to send another Happy Blankie to a child in need.  Isn't that Awesome!

So my favorite part about giving this blankie to Baby K is that she is already learning the gift of giving and making a difference in another child's life.

So if you are ever in need of a creative gift for a child, think of Happy Blankie and the difference you will make.

Baby K!!

Here are some of the sweet pictures that Baby K let me take of her last week.  She was 5 days old...so little and cute and just perfect...still :)  Mommy Ames and Daddy Eric are doing great and are going to be wonderful parents.  Enjoy!

a glimpse of what her nursery looks like~~Adorable!

 Big Brother Boone loves his itty-bitty bit.

 Amy gave me this really cute lime green box as a 'Baby Hope Box' for my birthday for me to put some fun things in it for a future little one of our own and some fun mommy things...so isn't perfect, that I put a baby in it!

 Is this just not the cutest little Bum ever?!

Thank you so much Baby K for letting me take pictures of you.  Your mommy and daddy are very special to me and I love you so much!  Love, 'Aunt' Kelly

Yay for Baby K!

My Best Friend, Amy, had her sweet little girl!! 

 She's perfect in every way and just a wonderful bundle of joy!

This is how I felt driving home today! 

via

I normally work til later in the evening 6:30ish or so.  So today I was super excited to get off work early, 5:00!  Now I remember why I work late!  Now, Oklahoma is just wonderful to ALWAYS have construction EVERYWHERE in the state.  So, I have to take a slight detour down Southwest Blvd in order to get on the highway.  Well at a stop light, which I'm already past, but traffic has us not moving, I wave a car through to get in front of me, that's the right thing to do, right?

Well, this jackass decides he's gonna go too!!  As I'm moving forward, he just keeps going...I slam my brakes (not too hard, we weren't going but idle speed) and lay on the horn.  He continues to weave his way in front of me and NEVER even waves!!  I tell ya, the crazies and jackasses really come out at 5:00. 

Then he was even more of a jack-wad as he was turning right to get on the highway, he has a red light and a big ol' truck, who has a green light, is making a LEGAL U-turn, jackwad almost runs in to him and is layin on his horn as if he is so much more important. 
I can't stand mean drivers! 

Oh, did I mention, the jackwad, he's a 'gooner'.

On a lighter note...Casey is home!  He's doing recruiters assistance, so if your interested in signin' up, go talk to him!  He's hopefully going to be home til October, when he will be reassigned to North Carolina.  So excited to have him home!

Also, we are patiently waiting for the arrival of Peanut, (my best friends baby girl) I'm so excited to meet her.  She's due on the 9th, but we really want her to come before that!  Yay for baby girls!

Later!

Oh, the kitty, looks identical to Nellie!

Kids Do the Darndest Things!

I really meant to share this last week, but never got around to it.  At work the other day, myself and some other staff were talking in the hallway on the unit and the kids were on their 'porches'-sitting by their room door.  So this little guy, that I really would bring home with me if Mike would let, me comes walking up to where we were talking and says to a staff member, while holding his little arm up as far as he could to show him he had...

(In a high pitched 5 year old little sweet boy voice)

"Mr. Duwayne, why was this floating in my toilet?"

Ha!  They say and do the craziest things!  Thankfully it wasn't a little turd, but we don't know if it was a before or after flush pull....  : /

Hope you all had a great weekend! I did and hope to share later...I am working on some more Alaska Pictures and also hope to have those posted tonight.

Happy Monday!

This poor baby fell out of his nest and was hopping around the front yard.  Remi was very interested, but was able to contain herself and leave this little guy alone.  I couldn't find the nest to put him back in, but he made his way to my neighbors garden area, so we are crossing our fingers he's fine.

Day 323 - Pansies!

Before Mike finally pulled them!  We had them forever, they never died, even in the massive snow storm we had.  In fact they looked so much better than when we planted them. I wouldn't let Mike pull them for a long time and he said we were gonna be the only people in town still with pansies.   

Whew!  Almost have them all up and going!!  I have started to create my 365 digital book.  It won't be here by my birthday,which is fine, I'm just so excited to see it when it is done.  Thanks for following along!  Hopefully will have the last 15 or so up soon!
