<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Flashback to January 2014...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A girl I went to school with since 6th grade was posting all this information on Facebook about an Arbonne clean eating challenge. I had seen her talking about it for a few months prior and decided to contact her to ask what it was all about. She explained it to me and told me of her own reservations for trying it and it took her a year to work up to finally going through with it. She had mentioned that prior to her husband participating he would have a horrible time sleeping at night and said that his body using so much energy to process his dinner it would actually keep him from sleeping through the night. Maybe that's what my problem was too with staying asleep, since I have zero problems actually falling asleep. She sent me a sample menu with the grocery list and also gave me a few sample items like protein powder, green tea, fizz stick, etc. After looking at the menu I knew there was no way that Jimmy and Kiera would eat the majority of the meals or let alone the side dishes plus I just wasn't willing to cook 2 separate meals for the 3 of us. So that is where it all ended. For the rest of the year I would continue to sit on the couch every evening for hours doing nothing. I was pretty down at times and didn't have the motivation to get up an exercise or anything </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">else. I knew what was going on I just didn't care.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Fast forward to December 2014...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Jimmy's cousin got me a Misfit Flash activity and sleep tracker for Christmas. I knew that she had one and I had always wanted one it just wasn't something I though about buying for myself. I am so in love with this thing it's not even funny. It is exactly what I need to get going. If I saw that I wasn't going to reach my goal of activity for that day I would get up and move around. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">January - March 2015...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">After having my activity tracker for a couple weeks I decided it was a good time to start exercising. We have had weights for years we just never did anything with them so I brought them out along with my yoga mat and started doing some easy exercises at home. A number of the exercises I just used my own body weight which was enough to feel the burn. I also started changing what and how much I was eating. I started eating smoothies for lunch a few days out of the week, less bread and dairy, minimal sweets, smaller meal portions. In February we bought an elliptical which I just freaking love. I began gaining muscle and losing weight. I also started sleeping better through the night and not waking up at 3am for the day on the weekends! By the end of March I had lost 13 pounds! During this time my friend Kailan and I started talking about the clean eating challenge. She wanted to participate but was in the same predicament with her husband and 3 boys. We decided that we were dead set on doing the challenge and she offered to cook the meals and we would split the cost of the groceries. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">March - April 2015...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">So at the end of March we began the clean eating challenge! Things were going great for the first couple weeks, and I didn't have a problem with the transition since I had already changed my ways of food an eating. There in the middle it got a little rough for me. I did cheat just a few times throughout the month but not even enough to throw anything off. It was too keep my sanity alright! </span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-small;">(Baked sweet potato, steamed zucchini, blacked salmon, mango salsa - all made my me)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">And now our clean eating challenge has ended. Since January I have lost 21 pounds and 8 of those was during the challenge. I feel great, I am sleeping through the night, I have lots of energy and no stomach issues after eating. Not that I had any before but there is no more bloating and indigestion that I would get after eating big heavy meals. Except for the celebratory pizza lunch Kailan and I ate at the end of the challenge. Within 20 minutes I was completely drained of energy, I was so bloated and my heart was racing. I won't be doing that again!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I am half way to my goal body type and I know that I can and will do it! Plus the cute exercise clothes that I have bought help to stay motivated. It really does!</span></div>

The weekend before my birthday (I turned 35 last week!) we took a little trip down to OKC for the <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">weekend and drug our camper and my father in law along. I am going to share in no particular order, just going along as I get the pictures edited. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We stopped by Pops in Arcadia which is about 20 minutes northeast of OKC on old Route 66. It was the first time Kiera and I had ever been and Jimmy and his dad hadn't been in a long time. Oh and I must mention first that I was 2 weeks in to a month long clean eating challenge. I totally cheated...but just a little.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">They literally have any and every flavor of pop that you could imagine...coffee, buffalo sauce, bacon, maple, Ranch dressing, Celery, Sweet corn...I would love to try them but I don't want to spend $2 on a whole bottle and hate it.</span> </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We ate lunch and Kiera's first choice of pop was strawberry. Jimmy had a Black Cherry Cream which was wonderful. I only took little sips of them since I am not drinking any pop due to my clean eating and because I have just basically cut it out of my life anyway. Jimmy and I shared an Arcadia burger which had blue cheese, bacon and barbecue sauce. We weren't sure how the bbq sauce would be on the burger but they all worked together very nicely. I totally cheated and ate a quarter of the burger and some fries. It helped my mental clean eating issues. Jimmy's dad had a salad I think and Kiera ate a corn dog. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The only ones Jimmy and I got to pick out were the very cherry and apple pie. I was a little overwhelmed with the hundreds (or maybe thousands) of choices. The cases were pretty much sorted by type or flavor so once I really started looking it wasn't so bad. And the bottles are stinking cute, we are keeping them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Well hello there! Long time no see? I have been super busy with all sorts of busy things called life. Since my last post I was able to cross a couple things off of my non existent bucket list and it.was.awesome. But I am not here for that today, I am here to share this years Valentine's that Kiera and I made for her class. I think these were the easiest valentine's I have made thus far but that is probably due to the fact that Kiera was actually a big help with it this year. Twas a lovely Saturday night crafting together. Apparently I really needed to do </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">some crafting and it wasn't until we started that I felt all warm and fuzzy inside. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So after some looking around on Pinterest Kiera decided that she wanted mouse valentine's. We came across this picture for inspiration and then Kiera and I discussed what she wanted to change about it and what colors she wanted to use. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First I folded the 12x12 sheets of cardstock in to fourths and then cut them out.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Then I folded each fourth in half and drew a half heart shape with pencil and cut it out. Make sure you cut out the side that does not have the seam on it. I used that first half heart shape to trace on all of the rest of the papers so that afterwards I could just go to town cutting out the shapes.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Once you have all of your mouse bodies cut out you can used the edges to make the mouse ears. Now if you have a circular paper punch thingys that would be awesome and fast to use, however I don't have one so they were all cut by hand. You will also want to do this with a light pink card stock for the center of the ears.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Man it was awesome having her help.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhADbGTTlIlToYlisNeo7Y3CZVu3XMiRo1ViKt5_LFyISpVnLWa8S-9iRB1bgewnDrjourDLh_KynyI2fE93Usa8iQ0FeJpzAlliX7p8zRO_mRxTktXdS_owR6aQ_XMzGqW9ZCjcIXfw2g/s640/blogger-image-1543429825.jpg" width="480" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> As she was finishing up the ears and faces I was gluing the tails, googly eyes and ears on the ones that were ready. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOSfQoErRfZzCy3FSGSlrkiNnxAHZhm-SDKMW-K5335HsDzhwY8UVRy5cXVOcQwwJ2773j3roTrB7r_OGJLPt2guWPRl6G9mmOQf1YPT8qqSEX46wLIPhUc8QaO2CT4JhHG9vPSmAUo_A/s640/blogger-image-1874052587.jpg" width="480" /></div>
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I glued from the nose half way up the body so I could create a pocket to put the fruit snack in. I just can't bring myself to send candy for valentine's because there is already so much of it. I am not anti candy (hello sugar lover) I am just trying to lessen the amount.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBhO4QymzGoc8xQAwvV_aSEz09MuZspo9PUK9HJIfxZ62R5gFGUZPeayFkyJzh6tdyQ32SVlsg9HBmXML9elFK-29h3fHTDsQ6_jhvE1Low68dymrCh90yZtUcm1wg8wRjpTDUVwm2IKU/s640/blogger-image--1726815908.jpg" width="480" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Then you glue around the the rest of it, slap on a heart and voila! We had a few pop back open behind the ears but I just put a dab of glue there and sealed it back up. We actually still need to glue the little "Hope you have a "MICE" Valentine's Day!" tag behind the heart and then they will be done done. On the back I wrote "To" and "From" and Kiera filled in "You" and her name. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> We also have to make a shoe box for her to receive the valentine's from her classmates only I have no idea what she want to make. It will be interesting for sure.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I need a place to vent this to and this is a safe place for what I am about to say. Every.single.day for the past year I have been parking in the exact same spot at work. Then someone new comes in a starts parking in my spot. First off they were parking somewhere else and then a week in moved on over to my spot. Now we don't have assigned spots but everyone in the office knows where everyone parks and you just stay out of that spot. Is this a petty and stupid thing to be upset over, of course it is. Is there some slight animosity towards that undeserving person? Unfortunately yes. Do I park in MY spot when it is open, you bet I do! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">And just last week there were a few people (not at work) that I would have loved to do this to, but I love my car and I am truly not a mean person. Everyone has had these moments. </span></div>

Now this was my first concert to see at a big venue (BOK Center in downtown Tulsa) so I had no idea what to expect. Shoot, the last concert I actually went to see was Gavin DeGraw at Cain's 10 years ago. </span></div>

The first act up was a guy called Ferras and I really liked his music though I had never heard of him before. Kiera wasn't too thrilled with the loud music and kept asking when Katy was coming out. There were a few tears but I helped get rid of those with some silly comments about Ferras' dreads. Then came Tegan and who I have heard their music before! Kiera sill wasn't enjoying herself too much until they started to sing Everything is Awesome from the Lego Movie and she perked right up after that. </div>

I ended up choking a bit since my vocal cords were taking some abuse but I got them nice and warmed up for the rest of the concert. Kiera was able to sing along to a few of them also. And let me tell you my girl can scream. I have never heard her let loose like that and it made me laugh every time. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There is a lake just north of our house that takes about 15 minutes to get to and we have camped there a few times over the past 8 years. It's nice that is it s so to our house if we need to go grab something that we forgot to bring or to check on Lilly. We actually went up on Thursday night so we could grab a decent camp spot even though we had to work on Friday and I had took Kiera to the bus stop. I could definitely wake up to a lake view every single day. </span> And the sunsets aren't a terrible sight either. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I decided to bring Kiera's bike so she could practice riding it since she never got the hang of riding it without the training wheels when we took them off months ago. She wiped out at one point and got a little banged up but got right back up and tried again. She finally got the hang of it and was super excited. Looks like someone will be getting a new bike for Christmas since she has had this tiny one for 4 years!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Electronics while camping. Ugh. As much as I think it is stupid to bring my laptop with us, it is nice at times. Jimmy's phone is also a hot spot so we get internet too. Like I have said before Jimmy and I have had our fair share of camping with no electricity, running water (unless you count water collected from a spring) or plumbing, so I really don't feel bad about it at all. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This breakfast is by far our favorite at camp. First I fry up some bacon (or sausage), then I hard fry an egg (breaking the yolk on purpose). I toast the bread with some of the bacon grease.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Quite a while back I came across <a href="http://www.hellotherehome.com/2012/11/diy-hanging-planters.html" target="_blank">this tutorial</a> on how to make a simple macramé plant hanger so I decided to take a stab at it. I found some rope at Hobby Lobby in their fabric clearance bin and also found the little pot on clearance there. You know who else has an awesome clearance section? Lowe's plant section. The little plant I got was $1.00!!! It was droopy when I brought it home and perked right up after I watered it. But the plant hanger was super easy to make and I can see why people have little colonies of macramé plant hangers in their house</span>. And excuse the horrible phone pics. I was not going to bring my big camera into work... </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I hadn't measured the pot my plant came in before and of course it didn't fit into the blue pot so I had to transplant it into the green one that I got for $1.50 at Wal-Mart. I picked green since it kind of blends in with the plant. It's a self watering pot so it can just pull it up to add water to the bottom of the tray. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I used some scrap fabric to bind the top near the hanging ring and around the bottom to support the pot. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Labor Day weekend we were once again out at the river. I mean it's free camping since we are property owners at the river ranch. All it costs us is a tank of gas and we just raid our kitchen for food to bring. Anywho, Jimmy's mom camped with us a couple nights and on Saturday we went into Tahlequah to take part in the Cherokee national holiday. Ya know since the 3 of them are Cherokees. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There were stick ball games, horseshoes, craft fair, a pow wow, and all sorts of other things going on. We only went to the craft fair. Everything was so spread out over town, it didn't seem very well organized to me</span>. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Saturday we spent all day down on the river swimming and playing. We met some people that were on a float trip who stopped nearby and chatted with them. Some other people next to us had turned their raft upside down and used the bottom as a slip-n-slide into the water. So we all did that too and it was pretty darn fun. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Monday when we were on our way home we were traveling around 70mph on the highway right outside of Tulsa when there was a sudden weird vibration going on in the truck. Jimmy looked in his side view mirror and said "He just hit me! That guy just ran into our trailer!" Yep. We have only had our camper for a little over two months and that happened. Just our luck. A 22 year old kid fell asleep at the wheel and ran into our camper. He was driving his parents Chrysler 300 because he wrecked his a couple weeks before. His parents car was torn up. The whole right quarter panel was peeled back and our stabilizing jack under the camper shredded his tire. Luckily he ran into us instead of oncoming traffic. Everyone was ok, but he was pretty shaken up. In the meantime before we can get it in to have it repaired I have done a lovely patch job with a trash bag and Gorialla tape. It still camps just fine!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Kiera and I recently participated in the Walk to End Alzheimers in Tulsa at the ORU campus along with a number of my coworkers. The walk was only 1.5 miles but I think it was further than that. I am sure it felt longer because it was already 90 degrees at 10am, there was hardly any shade on the walk and my shoe was rubbing a blister on my heel from the start line. But whatever, I sucked it up and completed the walk for a good cause. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We are almost to the finish line and I cannot wait to get into my car with air conditioning. I don't do any kind of exercise in shorts either because having them ride up into your crotch while walking or running is just annoying. Plus there is chafing. I have never experienced the "thigh gap" in my existence because I am just not built that way. Though I actually did buy two pair of shorter shorts (mid thigh) to wear this summer that sometimes cooperate and sometimes don't. That was way off subject but I am sure if I had on shorts I wouldn't have been so dang hot. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">That is Kiera swimming with her face down in the water. She is doing great swimming on her own. We went down slides and jumped off a platform in to deep water, all without her life jacket. She just popped right up and swam her self to the side. We had tons of fun in the wave pool and she thoroughly enjoyed riding on my back in the water and dunking me. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Yesterday was Kiera's first day of 2nd grade. Cra-zy. I didn't cry thankgoodness. I think I am past that stage now, past the crying as she goes off to school, not the past crying part. I am still a big ole bag of emotions. I am not even going to look back at her other school pictures right now. There is a whole lot of fake smiling going on in these pictures. I ought to start getting creative on ways to make her truly laugh to get that genuine smile out of her. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">When I was picking her up from her Papa's house I asked how her first day of school went. She immediately told me she got in trouble. Apparently there was confusion between she and a classmate as to where they were supposed to go. Kiera told him they were supposed to go back to the classroom and he said they were supposed to go to the cafeteria. They ended up going to the cafeteria instead of the classroom where they were supposed to go. I don't think that they got in big trouble for it but she likes her teacher and enjoyed the rest of the day. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For Kiera's birthday this year we decided to camp out at the river. We invited other people but no one came out besides Jimmy's dad, his aunt and two cousins. I had a conversation with Kiera that her friends couldn't make it and luckily she was OK with it. We went up to camp on Thursday evening since Jimmy and I both took off work on Friday. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Friday we were going to take Kiera to the big blue slide but it was closed. We headed on into Tahlequah and took her to a park to play for a little while. After that we headed on over to Del Rancho for some lunch. Jimmy and I used to eat at Del Rancho after being on the lake with friends all day during the first few years we were together. Good times, good times. They have the best steak sandwiches EVER, and their Indian Taco's are pretty awesome too. Kiera had a grilled cheese sandwich. </span></div>

Then we decided to go down and swim for a bit. There were some clouds to the north of us which wasn't enough make us leave but once we saw lightening we decided that was our cue to bolt (ha! pun intended). </div>

Jimmy and I were working on setting up the tent for when his aunt and cousins would arrive when the rain came. We could hear it coming in the trees and had to scoop everything up and put it under the canopy which we did just in time. It rained hard for an hour and a half. How hard you ask? Jimmy's dad said "it reminds me of the monsoon season in Vietnam". Lovely. There were a lot of lightning strikes around our area and the thunder was cracking right over head. The rain eventually stopped and left everything soaked but it was all good. </div>

Saturday we went on a 6 mile raft float (minus Jimmy's dad). It went by fairly quick since the river was up about 5 feet from all the rain. Just before we got back to camp it started to rain again! Kiera, Alyana and myself were in the back of the truck getting pelted by the rain. It stings when it hits you at 20 miles an hour. Everyone eventually piled into the camper and I decorated Kiera's Unikitty cake for her party. I am not proud of the way it turned out because 1. I was doing it in the camper and 2. the humidity in the air was not helping the icing at all! I took a picture of it but I will not be sharing it. The rain was the same monsoon type that it was on Friday, but it eventually cleared and we made our was down to the clubhouse to have the party.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Kiera said she had fun but wished there were more activities. Uh, I though I did pretty good. Unikitty coloring pages, unicorn horns, pin the horn on Unikitty, party horns and poppers. I guess that's what she gets for telling me to do what I want! However, I am so very </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">thankful for everyone participating in the activities and really making it a special day for our girl. </span><br />

Ohmygoddness, a post two days in a row? Don't get used to it. I won't be back posting until next week. We have a birthday in the house for this little lady tomorrow and we are going to be camping out at the river for a few nights. This here is for her Mimi and Pappy (aka my parents). </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She got a card in the mail from my parents on Tuesday which had some cash and a $10 Kohl's cash coupon. I told her she had to wait until after her birthday to see what kind of toys she got before she could spend the cash but we could use the Kohl's coupon since it expired yesterday. So last night (at 9pm, which is truly an awesome time to shop if you really want to get out that late) we went to Kohl's so she could pick something out. I always explain to her she can either get a few things or one big item to equal whatever dollar amount she has to spend. We looked at jewelry, clothes, all the little junk they have in the girls section (purses, kid jewelry, lip gloss, etc.). For some odd reason she always wants things that she already has at home so I have to remind her she already has that. For that reason I don't completely let her pick whatever she wants, I always try to have her think about what she has and what she will actually use. We don't buy things just to buy them. In the end she picked out the cat shirt, press on Disney Princess nails, and some gold shimmery polish. </div>

And I apologize for the craptastic photo. Night time plus iPhone camera equals no bueno. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">One day last week I worked a half</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> day and took Kiera to the dollar movies afterward to watch Rio 2. While we were there I gave her a few quarters to buy some junk out of one of those little machines. She got a little bow necklace and the mustache. After the movie we went to see my friend Michelle so I could get my hair cut and brows waxed. I told Kiera she needed to put the mustache on and ask Michelle if she could wax her mustache. She did and Michelle though it was pretty darn funny.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">After we left, Kiera kept the mustache on even when we stopped by the grocery store. I was slightly cringing on the inside because of the attention it would draw. Because if people are looking at her, people are looking at me. I really don't like to be the center of attention. I like to blend in. But I let her do it anyway because it isn't about me, it's about her. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">She so very proudly walked through the grocery store and when the cashier told Kiera "I like your caterpillar" she politely replies "It is a mustache". Just smile Ashley, just smile. She forces me to be in what I feel are uncomfortable situations and I just have deal with it. It isn't the first time and I know it won't be the last. She doesn't even know it but she is teaching ME. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I guess it all fits in our grand scheme of raising her to be a certain type of person, which is somewhere between the very best parts of Jimmy and me, and hopefully very few of our worst. So far so good I think... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">And because I am not a completely boring mom, I did put it on at the theater (along with some bunny ears) just long enough to take a picture.</span> It got some laughs out of my girl which totally overrides any other feeling and replaces it with complete and utter joy. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">This year for the 4th of July weekend we (and Jimmy's dad!) headed out to the river to camp. 4 nights and I wasn't ready to come back to town yet. I don't think I have mentioned this before but we got a new camper a few weeks ago. It's absolutely awesome. Jimmy and I both agree that we could definitely live in it for quite a while, though we wouldn't since that would take the fun out of camping for us. We are definitely planning on some long RV traveling when we get older. We have both had our fair share of tent camping and are definitely at the point we prefer some comfort... and air conditioning. Anyway we got there Wednesday evening and Jimmy's cousin Jackie, her husband Brian and their son arrived at the same time stayed a couple nights in their pop up.</span></div>

Kiera spent the night setting those off. This is one of those things that I know some parents would freak out about. We are not the type of parent that is going to stick a sparkler in a red solo cup to keep her from getting burned. How else are do we learn? By getting hurt and learning things the hard way.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Back in 1976 (I think that was the year) my dad was in Ryan Oklahoma (a tiny little town that doesn't even have a stoplight) at his family's farm. He and my uncle ran into town when they ended up seeing a cousin of theirs, who had my mom with her. So my mom and dad met and the rest is history, and that is where I got my middle name of Ryan. I have fond memories of playing at the farm as a child. I found out that a lot of my family was going to be there and decided to take Kiera and myself on the 3.5 hour trip down to spend the weekend with everyone. Jimmy couldn't get off work early and he ended up working for a bit on Saturday anyway.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Almost every conversation began with "Remember when", there were lots of laughs, deep conversations, old home movies, and we were all in awe at how grown up we are. There were early mornings of drinking coffee on the back porch wrapped in a blanket, swimming in the Red River, riding 4 wheelers, and eating well. I knew I needed to see my family, but I guess I never realized exactly how much. Since they all live near Oklahoma City or in Texas (except for my parents and brother) I don't get to see them nearly often as I like. I will definitely cherish these pictures. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Kiera's last day of school was on Friday. She has been "promoted" (whatever that means) to 2nd grade. Of course I took her picture to document the change in just a few short months. I plan on making a book of first and last day school pictures. The only other picture we take every single year on the same day is her with the fireworks. She is just gonna have to deal with me taking these pictures every year. She will appreciate it one day. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Those black shoes she is wearing there are actually wedges. She really wanted them so she bought them with her own money. After looking at this and thinking of how much she is growing and can see glimpses of her older self more and more every day, I went back and looked at her Kindergarten and Pre-K school pictures which led me to look at her baby pictures too. I could totally have another baby Kiera. I still do NOT want another baby, but she was (and still is) quite awesome. It got me to thinking about </span><a href="http://jenhatmaker.com/blog/2014/05/27/on-parenting-teens" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">this post by Jen Hatmaker</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">, that her growing up will be slow, even though it really does fly by. Kiera is still the same person she was as a baby by being really laid back and doesn't stress over changes, she is still as friendly as ever as she was when she was 2 and 3 years old, and she still isn't afraid to voice her opinion like when she was 4. She will be 7 in a couple months and is definitely the same person she has always been just bigger. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jimmy stayed home sick the other day and Kiera was quite surprised to see he was in bed when she got home from school (I left work early to tend to him and picker her up from school). She decided that he needed a healthy dinner and took it upon herself to make something for him.

He didn't eat any of it though. He would have eaten the bread, the carrots only if they were cleaned and in bite size pieces so he could dip them in ranch, tomatoes only if they are made into spaghetti sauce or ketchup, and I don't believe I have ever seen him take a bite of a banana. It's the though that counts though. But since she did have those tomatoes and carrots out I went ahead made a couple salads for lunch this week. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Those are the original red walls that and valances that previous owners left to us. Now I loved those walls for a very long time but that time has ended, like 2 years ago. I have been thinking for a long time of ways I could change the kitchen up without having to redo the whole thing. Something that wouldn't require ripping out cabinets and getting new countertops. Oh the green countertops. They have been the biggest obstacle when it comes to picking a color palette and finding something to coordinate with them. Psh, I thought it would be nearly impossible. That is until I came across this tile at Lowe's.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr2fgdyT56a04jmNbHwziX5ReDzNhZNWcWqmk5pt0l7PgeALkqOa1oCzBhOEVlHhwUwmZxjLK5WKetEbrxwtK4zAvmMUWqfq4y2qNHhCN6RSPI5P-vzrv4yQ8KsJcOvqHJx1MwY6EEA7I/s640/blogger-image-605189543.jpg" /><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I.fell.in.love. Love the colors, love the shape, love that it was on sale! Funny story about that. When I found the tile I made sure Jimmy liked it, which he did, and then decided to let it simmer in my mind for a week. I used that picture up against my counters and cabinets to get a general idea about how it would look in our kitchen. It looked lovely. So the next week I went back to buy the tile and noticed that the price tag had moved to the bottom of the rack it was on. Suspicious if you ask me. So I loaded up my 36 sheets along with some tiling materials (float, trowel, spacers, buckets, etc.) and happily made my way to the counter (oh and this was my birthday present). The girl rang me up and the total came out to $200 more than it should have been based on my previous calculations. "Uh, the price on the tile said it was $7.98 a sheet. It was on the bottom of the rack." So she calls to do a price check and tried to tell me it was for a different tile. Whatever, the barcode on the back of the tile sheet say has the same dang name on it as that yellow sticker (I didn't say this but thought it). Then the way she said "Ok" to the person on the phone told me she had to change the price! Woo woo!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">So I brought it all home and has been sitting in my entry way for over a month. Ha! I first had to do my first ever demo job and rip out the existing 6x6 tiles. It was a little scary yet exciting at the same time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> A couple of those suckers were really stuck and I ended up ripping out the drywall. Oops, there was another first for me to replace drywall. I used the California Patch method Lowe's You tube channel. Another funny story, when I had a lady at Lowe's help me locate the 2x2 drywall piece I asked her about that method and she had never heard of it. I patched the two drywall places and then spackled over it all. Now after all the researching I did online everyone said that this isn't necessary, that you can just tile straight over drywall. I just don't feel comfortable with that. I also primed it to help with moisture. And that is where we are with the tile.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I primed the walls on a Sunday and could only take it a couple days like that before I painted it. It was bright!! I am so freaking happy to be done with the painting. We are still getting used to the light color (Olympic's Tightrope matched to Valspar Ultra Paint and Primer in one). I even painted the ceilings (which is totally for the birds), spray painted the can light rings because the were yellow, and I caulked around the windows. Stuff just kept popping up that I needed to fix! Now we just need to rent a saw, buy thin stet and grout, make cornice boards for the window, and buy new placemats. I think that should be it???</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You can kind of see it in the last picture but here is a close up of the fabric for the cornice boards. It is heavy duty upholstery fabric and the brown pattern is velvety. 2.5 yards at $5.00 a yard at Hancock Fabric with a 40% off coupon came out to $7.88!!!

its funny how competitive parents can be with how smart their kids are. what about the parents that have children with disabilities that will never function at that level. i am glad i am able to know what each of those parents feel. not that i am either one, but i know both. </em></span></div>

it is kind of odd that there is a light lovely feeling in your chest when you are happy. wonder what causes that. there has to be something really going on in there that no one can explain. kind of like a cat's purr. you know its there but what causes it?</em></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">On a side note, my thoughts were pretty easy going that morning. some days they can get pretty dark and i end up crying by time i get to work and some days pretty ugly words are flying out of my mouth at other drivers (good thing i am in the car alone). those mornings are pretty rough. and some days I dance and sing to the music like no one is watching, but they probably are.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Today I turn 34. Totally weird. Just yesterday I was driving home from work and Flood by Jars of Clay came on the 90's station. It came out in 1995...19 years ago. Really? I had to do the math a couple times because 1995 just couldn't have been 19 years ago. It just blew my mind because I remember being 15 like it was yesterday. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Having my first real kiss (for the record it was horrible and my poor brother witnessed it)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Learning how to drive a car</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Joining the swim team</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Learning that my body was just fine the way it was (seeing 15 other girls naked everyday shows you everyone is shaped differently)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Losing my best friend to other girls.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Getting a tooth knocked loose by a little brother that wasn't so little (short) any more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Not realizing that in 4 short years I would meet my husband and father of my child.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Since then I have learned...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Kissing isn't always a bad thing</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I don't really like driving. I take that back, driving is not bad, it's the traffic and other drivers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Everyone has different body shapes and no one cares what your size or weight is after the age of 18.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">That being a teenager sucks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Being an adult isn't always fun but I would never EVER be a teenager again. NEVER.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There is nothing wrong with being a goody two shoes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> That a tooth knocked loose will eventually need a root canal, many years later.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My parents did know what they were talking about.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">All those other boys you cried over, totally not worth the tears.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have learned a lot more than that but you get the gist. Each day I am becoming more comfortable in my own skin. I am finding my voice and I am not always so afraid to speak my mind, yet there are still plenty of times I don't. I am not as shy as I used to be I still can be in the right situation. Yeah I am the one standing in the corner not talking to anyone unless you talk to me first. I am still hard headed and have a problem with putting dishes straight into the dishwasher instead of setting them on the counter or in the sink. But I am one happy girl. Lady? Woman? No, I will stick with girl.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Woo hoo 34!!! Let's celebrate by looking at some pictures I took of pretty little flowers, ahem weeds. I am choosing to look at them as beautiful little tiny itty bitty flowers, because that is exactly what they are.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A couple weeks ago we had our first camp of the year. As I was cooking breakfast the first morning I look through the window I see this. I love this picture. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Later on after breakfast they are cuddling together and I love how Kiera has her leg draped over Jimmy. I don't know what their conversation was about but I know there was a lot of love and giggles. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Of course I get my fair share of cuddles and love too. If I sit down for 10 seconds there will always be a child, cat or dog on me at any given time and there are many times I have all three. It is a pretty awesome feeling. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">After love time was over we all went down to this little hidden waterfall near the campsite. It has probably been at least 10 years since I have been down to see this waterfall. I have asked about going down there many times but the trail to get there has been so grown over. We could hear it from our camper since the water was flowing from the recent rains. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Dada ended up feeling not so well that weekend so Kiera and I hung out by ourselves quite a bit. We went down to the park for a while and then went to check out the river. These are the only times that there is nothing keeping us from taking things slow and just relaxing and playing.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The last few nice weekends we have had in our neck of the woods we decided to head up to the property for the day to split the wood from the trees we cut down a few weeks ago. Well Jimmy cut down the trees and once he cut up the trucks I stacked them. Then I would put the logs up on top of another so he could split them. Then I would rearrange them and then stack the split pieces in a pile. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I was just moving it so he could split it some more. </span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Then we had to load it into the back of his dad's truck to move it to the back side of the building. Talk about a good work out! We just finished up the last couple piles on Sunday and now we just have a couple brush piles that we will burn when we aren't under a burn ban. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Kiera was running around doing who knows what. She was out of our way so that was all that mattered. We also had music playing in the truck while we worked and there was quite a bit of dancing between all 3 of us too. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">...And shooting guns. A coworker of Jimmy's gave me this rifle. It is old and needed a good cleaning which I learned how to do. Like completely break the gun down and clean all of it. I also stripped the varnish, sanded it down, stained and sealed it. I made him a batch of my home made banana nut muffins as a thank you. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jimmy's dad has a similar one which he is holding and is what mine looked like before I refinished it. Jimmy has mine in the picture below (we were shooting at our empty beer cans hanging from tree limbs). Sunday we took the zombie face targets I grabbed at Wal mart out there and practiced shooting at those! I was thisclose to getting a bulls eye! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We are pretty eager to start camping and the property is definitely ready for campers now! A week and a half and we will be out there for the first time this year. Woo woo!</span></div>
