Would you like to know what I've been doing?

For one thing, we are moving the store to a new location. It's scary, it's big and it's going to be COMPLETELY AWESOME!! I'm really excited but there is a lot of work that has gone into this and there is still more to come. I went on a buying trip this weekend and bought more frames than I intended but I think it will work out.

Miss Pinks gets out of school this week. I cannot believe she is already done with the second grade. Where does all this time go? Before I know it, she'll be dating and driving and going to college. OH, I better just stop. She is just so amazing and I am so proud of her, every day. You know, she only missed two days of school this year and that was just because I was having her baby brother! She likes school and we are going to miss her teachers! MAN, did we get lucky with some fabulous teachers.

In other news, I joined Weight Watchers in January. Having Mr. Man really did a number on me and I've needed to lose weight, but I put it off for one dumb reason or another. I didn't have much of a choice though, my blood pressure was high, my joints hurt all the time and I needed to lose the weight to be healthy, not thin. So far, I have lost 26 pounds!! WOO! I am very proud of myself. Here is what I look like less the 26 pounds:

It's actually been pretty easy to do. I also got new glasses and I must admit that they make me feel very sexy! I just had my birthday so now I'm 33 and I'm working on being more fit for me and my family.

That's really about it. I've been super busy with the store change over, but it's going to be good. More space, more stuff and just plain "more" of everything. I even get to have an office at the new store! Impressive, huh?

Well, I am up way past my bedtime and Mr. Man will be waking me up at 6:00, so I should go. I hope everyone is doing well. I miss blogging and I miss getting to find out what is going on in the world. Maybe one day my life will slow down enough for me to do more on the internets.

My love to you all!

Baby Face!

I know it's been forever since I posted but I am SO busy! I figured if I posted pictures of the cute baby, all would be forgiven. Right?

It's been a month? What? NO! you've got to be kidding me!

Well, I guess it really has. I've just been so swamped with work and family that I barely spend any time on the computer. Even now, I've got to go get Miss Pinks in the bed. I'm posting a pic for you guys since, believe it or not, Mr. Man is already 6 months old! Holy Crapola! He's getting so big and is doing more and more every day. Amazing little bugger. Well, he's not really little. He wears 18 months and up, but it isn't all pudge! He's LOOOONG! Big baby! LOVE HIM TO PIECES!!

Here is one of his Sissy feeding him imaginary food:

It was really sweet! He loves her so much.

I've got lots going on and a sleepy little girl that just fussed at me for not tucking her in, so I better go. I hope all is well out in the world. Hugs, love and all that jazz...

My Esty Shop

I neglect it all the time. I'm thinking I may close it and sell off all my beads. With the business, 2 kids and a house to run, I don't have time to think straight. I'll let you guys know if I have a big blowout sale and reduce everything.

Other than that, I'm busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. Yeah, I wrote that, no, I don't really feel that bad about it.

THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY! Hope you all have a great one!

OH! What pretty kids I have!

(don't you just want to eat those cheeks!)

(she's growing up so fast!)

My beautiful darlings!

THIS IS WHERE MY TIME GOES!!

but it's so worth it.

Sassy New Do!

Guys, she is growing up so fast!! I bet in a few years (like maybe only 2!) she's going to be as tall as me or taller. She decided to cut all her hair off the other day and I think it looks fantastic. Most of all, she loved it and the reaction she got from all her friends. What a lucky woman I am to have such gorgeous children! And she's thoughtful, kind and smart! There is a brand new girl in her class, so when we did the Valentine's Day cards, she gave one of the big ones to her best friend, and one to the new girl so that she could have something extra special since she's new. How sweet is that? Man, I just love her to pieces!!

Things have been busy, busy, busy here! But, I am going to try to post more often and actually check in on my blog buddies, too. Oh, I joined Weight Watchers at the end of January and I am just shy of losing 10 pounds! I've lost 11 inches off my waist and hips so far! WOO! Look out world, healthy Pinky coming through!

Alright, I've got to get to work. Hope you all have a Happy Valentine's Day!! Hugs n Luv!!

You see that paci?

Well I think it's SUPER funny. I may eat, I may not. But you can admire my cuteness while I decide. I also like to play in my jumperoo so much, that I pass out from exhaustion. No, I haven't been drinking, it only looks that way....

When I'm not trying to take over the world by being the sweetest baby boy evah, I'm totally loving my sister. She rocks!! Look, here we went to this crazy building because she won 2 awards for her art! Cool, huh? Both of them will go on to compete at the State Competition.

My mom is really proud of her! She was also in the local paper for the parade her class put on celebrating the Chinese New Year. Being 4 months old (already!) is tough, but it's not so bad when you have a super sister, a snuggly momma and a dad that lets me drool on him and he still love me anyway.

Whoa, it's been a long day.....

But these two make it worth it.

wazzzzzup!
