Pay It Forward

**The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me. Just for you.**

I've seen this on blogs before and avoided them because I lack creativity, but I thought that I need to try to be creative if I'm ever going to be creative.

Here are the rules.

1. I get to choose what I make for you.
2. No returns or exchanges.
3. I make no guarantees that you will like it.
4. Your creation will be just for you.
5. It'll be done this year (2009). *Good thing I've still got six months to work on it.
6. You have no clue what it's going to be.

The catch? In order to qualify, you must not only be one of the first 5 people to respond, you must also pay it forward and post this offer onto your blog and make 5 things for the first 5 people to respond to your post.

GOOD LUCK!

Molars

Ev cut his first molar yesterday. Yay.

No wonder he hardly ate all day.

Hiding Or Sleeping

This is how I found Cael asleep last night.














Can you find Cael on the bed?
















Seriously?!?

Mustaches

Cael wouldn't play along, but Adam and Ev let me draw funny mustaches on them. Adam is going to be mad that I posted it on the blog, but it is so cute. I love my boys.

My New Look

I got my new glasses tonight. I like them, but I've got to get used to them. I just need to where them when I need to see distance, mostly driving. I don't know if it was just me, but I felt like I really needed to have cute eyebrows now because the glasses draw more attention to my face.

Mmmmm.....BBQ

Everett loves food. We had BBQ brisket tonight for dinner and Ev kept wanting more. This is the end result of the BBQ. I love messy faces especially when I can get him in the tub right after I take him out of his high chair.

Meet the Girls

I guess that it is time to introduce the kittens. We kept three of them.















Rory, Lily, and Granola. This is how they were laying the other night when Adam and I got home from the movies.

















This is Rory. She has little cow spots on her back.

















Granola is the darker calico. We can her Nola for short. She is really cute.

Lily is on the bottom and her coloring is a lot lighter. She is the smallest one too.

Beads

We don't play with little beaded necklaces at our house. They are big and bulky.

Here is Everett modeling them for everyone to see.

Four Eyes

I need glasses.

I think that I should get some Harry Potter glasses. That would be awesome.

Needing Sleep

I am a zombie girl today. I am so tired, but can't sleep while Ev is awake right? I stayed up late last night watching Grey's Anatomy season finale. But that wasn't the only thing that kept me from sleeping last night.

Cael fell asleep at early. 5:30-6:00.
I put him in bed at 7:30.
He wakes up at 10, but just wants some water.
I go to bed at 11:15.
Cael wakes up at 12:30. Oh no.
Cael finally goes back to sleep at 3:30.
Everett wakes up at 6:15.

I figure that I got 4 hours of sleep. That sucks. I love sleep. I need sleep.

Happy Birthday Leisa

Happy Birthday to You.
Happy Birthday to You.
Happy Birthday Dear Leisa.
Happy Birthday to You.

Leisa,
I love you so much. You are such a wonderful sister and I am lucky to have you as a best friend too. You are a beautiful woman, fun mom, and an awesome auntie. Here are some of my favorite pictures of you.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all my Moms. I am so lucky to have all of these wonderful women to look up to and ask all of my mommy questions. I really am such a lucky girl to have three moms and countless other "moms"; sisters, aunts, cousins, and friends. I love you all.

Nana and Cael June 2005
















Tutu and Everett March 2009
















Grammy and Cael August 2006

Andee's Party

Here are some fun pictures from Andee's birthday party.
















I love this picture of Gracie talking with Everett. So cute.


















Lucy being serious. I love her eyes.


















Gracie pouting because Cael was bouncing when she wanted to do it all by herself. Sorry Gracie.


















Gracie got hops.


















Uncle Neil running around like crazy.


















I know this picture is blurry, but Cael's smile was too cute to exclude it.


















Galyan family picture.


















Another shot.


















Jill doing back flips.























Jill and Lucy jumping for joy.


















Papa, Andee, Jill, and Lucy having a serious conversation.


















Lucy showing off for her Mommy.


















Gracie and Papa resting with Tutu looking on. Someone must have been doing something really fun on the other side of the jump house.


















Papa was having so much fun chasing all the kids around.


















Here is me and Everett having fun in the bounce house.

Happy Birthday Andee

Happy Birthday to You.
Happy Birthday to You.
Happy Birthday Dear Andee.
Happy Birthday to You.

I can't believe that you are one. You are the sweetest, most happy girl I've ever known. You are always smiling and so content.
I love you.

Snuggly Sleepers

Here is Adam and Lily taking a nap together yesterday afternoon. She is the sweetest of the kittens. I named her and if Adam and I were to keep on it would have been her. She is really good with the boys too. She lets them pet her and pick her up.

Donating Blood

On Saturday Bonnie and I decided to be good girls and donate blood. We have a blood bank less than a mile away, so we went over there first thing. I haven't donated since high school, but I want to do what I can to help others out. While I was sitting in the chair with blood being drawn from my veins, the technician was asking me what else I was doing that day. I said that I had a hair appointment in the afternoon and a soccer game later that day. She made a funny face and said that I wasn't suppose to exercise for 24 hours after I donated, but said that I'd be fine as long as I hydrated a lot before the game. She also said that I wasn't suppose to be doing any heavy lifting for 24 hours too. Yeah right. I have two kids who like their mommy to hold them. Once I was done she wrapped my arm up and told me not to take it off for four hours. Okay whatever. As soon as I took the wrap off four hours later, I looked like a druggie. I have a huge purple bruise. Nice. On Sunday the bruise has grown some, but I think it is the blood just running down my arm a little more. I'm going to try to run by there today to see what they say caused it. The tech had a little of a hard time finding my vein, but I didn't think I'd look like this after doing a good thing.
