ABC's

So... I have really been slacking on the commenting on blogs lately. I think I have read each blog that I follow, but just haven't commented. We have been super busy, our home rennovations are under way! We are hoping that this weekend we will get most if not all of them finished! YAY!! I am super excited!! I will post some before and after pictures, once I have the after pic's!!



Here is a cute video of Caelyn. And yes, she is wearing Gryfi's underwear. She is always changing her clothes. Every time we turn around, she has on something different. This time, she just happened to change in to his underwear! Just another reason why I love this little girl ever so much!!

today and every day

Forever can never be long enough for me

To feel like I've had long enough with you

Forget the world now, we won't let them see

But there's one thing left to do



Now that the weight has lifted

Love has surely shifted my way



Marry me

Today and every day

Marry me

If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe



Say you will

Say you will



Together can never be close enough for me

To feel like I am close enough to you

You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love you

And you're beautiful



Now that the wait is over

And love has finally showed her my way



Marry me

Today and every day

Marry me

If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe



Say you will

Say you will



Promise me you'll always be

Happy by my side

I promise to sing to you

When all the music dies



And marry me

Today and every day

Marry me

If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe



Say you will

Say you will

Marry me





I was planning on posting this yesterday, but didn't have the time. This song is beautiful, and has so much meaning to it. Today and every day. Marry me. Love me. And I will love you. Today and every day. This will be the theme to Kel and my wedding. Which is set for June 23, 2012. We have been talking about getting married for years, and have gone back and forth. But we are really gonna do it. Really really!! We haven't decided on an exact location, but we are leaning more towards Vermont. We have looked into some beautiful rental houses, that would be perfect for us and family to stay in, and also one that we think would be perrrrfect to even have the wedding at. (the house looks like a castle!! absolutely gorgeous!!) And I am super excited about this!! Although, I feel we are already a married couple - in every aspect of the words, we are married. But to actually do this, to actually make this commitment, is just amazing to me! And I can not wait for Kelly to be my wife! (I joke with her and tell her it's about time she decided to make me an honest woman! haha) But seriously, I really can not wait! So much planning, so much excitement! A dream come true!!

This Moment

Kel & I took Caelyn to Build A Bear! She made a cat, named her MiMi, put a tutu on her & LOVES her dearly! Kel snapped this pic in the car while waiting on Jarrod's baseball practice to finish. She just loves her MiMi! We even got out an old nightgown of Caelyn's to put on her... Cause MiMi needed jammies too!! :)

She's So Sweet....

Even when she's sick. Poor Lil Miss has strep. But I tell ya, she's a trooper. Nothing like her whiny brothers ; ) And as u can see, even though she doesn't feel good (I know this cause she has said these words 'I don't feel good' about 20 times today) she was still up for a mani/pedi! Goodness sakes I love this lil girl! Not all into the mani's... But one day me & this girl will be spa buddies... Going for the pedi's & the full body massages! : )

scratch that....

Gryfinn is burning up with a fever and has thrown up twice. Once all over his bed and once all over our bed. He had a little cough, and we thought the first time was due to him coughing and then gagging - but, the next time - which was like 5 hours later, he just sat up, whined, and then threw up. We had given him some tylenol about 30-45 minutes before, because like I said, he is burning up with a fever.



I blame myself. It's my fault. I NEVER should have said the kids were healthy. I know better. I do. And the damn knocking on wood didn't work. Damn. damn. damn.

Ice, Baseball, Losers & just some other stuff

Well - we are being hit by the ice/snow storms. We woke up to a layer of ice on everything. And they say that was nothing compared to what is coming. We shall see. We are hoping we don't lose power. My Mom has already lost hers. I worry, cause the trees are already weighed down from the ice we have already gotten, add any more, and I worry that branches will start falling and knock out power lines. And not to mention just the weight of the ice itself on the power lines. But I have to say that everything looks so pretty.... but I am done with it. I am SO ready for Spring......

And baseball season! Both Jarrod and Jayk tried out for traveling baseball teams, and they both made it! YAY!! So excited for them! This will be a whole new adventure for us, and I am really looking forward to it! And Gryfi will start playing this year. So I am seeing a lot of time outside, in the sun, at one baseball field or another! CAN. NOT. WAIT!!!

Kel and I are both L O S E R S!! We decided to make a change. A lifestyle change. And so far, so good! We have both lost weight!! We are counting calories, and running on the treadmill, working out on the Wii Fit (until the Wii went ptthhhbbbb on us. It will no longer read discs. And we have had it for a few years, so we are out of the warranty period - it will cost us $75 for them to repair it plus the cost to ship - so I am thinking a new one is in our future!) and Kel just got the EA Sprots Active 2 for the Xbox Kinect. We are opening that up tonight, since we are iced in and all! : ) (as long as we don't lose power - I can now hear the ice hitting the windows, so it has started again) I have to say that I am proud of us. And I am glad that Kel decided to do this with me. I have tried and tried, but kept failing. Now that we are doing this together, it seems so much easier. We motivate each other and keep each other focused. And it makes it easier to eat healthier when you are not the only one doing so. And if I ever start blogging more regularly again, I will post updates. If is such a big word though!

We are getting ready to start some home projects and I am EVER so excited! We are turning our enclosed back porch into our bedroom, and then Caelyn will have our current room to herself. We are removing the carpet in the living room and the hall, and getting new furniture. And most importantly - we are getting a new bed to go in our new room! So excited! We have also talked about getting a dish washer! And I really want one! *hint*hint* ; )

Gryfinn is all better and back to himself. Thank goodness! And (knock on wood) all the kids are healthy and have been. Kel is trying to come down with a chest cold, but hopefully it passes quickly.

I think that is all for now...... I am sure there was more that I had planned to blog about - there always is - but at the moment, this is all I got - which it seems, is probably more than enough! : )
