Over Half Way There

So even though I have not posted my "official" Summer 2010 Bucket List I wanted to let you know that I am over half way there on crossing off Top 100 Movies. I crossed off 2 movies today and that put me to a whopping 51 titles down 49 to go and I have at least 6 waiting on me in my DVR or in library rentals. This is really motivating on a lot of things. I know it is only movies as my husband says but I am excited to do this. I have 5 reviews waiting in the "to be written pile" and 1 movie that I am in the middle of and can't seem to finish (that tells you how good I think it is).

So look forward to:
The Best Years of Our Lives
The Searchers
Rebel Without a Cause
It Happened One Night
Dances With Wolves

coming soon....and also

Today was my little sis-in-laws birthday party...she turned 3! Her main gift was this extreme tree house that is about 100 sq feet. In it is her play kitchen so I made her a bunch of crochet food. It was all inside a reusable Wal-Mart sack so she could shop like Mommy. I made her ice cream sandwiches, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, tomato slices, lettuce, and cupcakes. I am going to make a lot more of this food for her and my daughter to play with in the kitchen. It is so much nicer than plastic food and I am so much better at it than felt food but maybe I will try that too!

I also started on a dress for Alexandra. Started...not finished so she will get it asap! It is gorgeous so far so I will take some pictures and see if yall like it!

Another Big change around the house is the hubs and I are starting P90x tonight and Lills in already down for the night so any minute now he will tell me its time! I am so nervous! We'll see how it goes. Maybe I will keep you daily updated.

Busy Busy Bee

Ok I am little more happy with the blog now. I was so unhappy that I did not blog for a few days purely because I did not want to look at it. That is sad.

I am working on a bunch of this right now and like I said before May is extremely busy.

First we had our anniversary weekend and it was exactly what we needed. I loved every minute of it. First we checked into our hotel after dropping Lilly off and it was a nice nice room! It had a hot tub in the room right next to the bed that could have easily fit four adults, luckily we only needed it to fit 2! Then we went to dinner at Razzoos. I love it there and plus we wanted to have a few drinks and they are good as well. We went back to the hotel and crashed. Saturday we got up and went shopping. The area is new to us and so nice. Went to World Market, Joanns, a local toy store, and a few other places. We had lunch at kincaid's then back to hotel to rest and watch tv. We left a little early for our dinner reservations and stopped at Barnes and Nobel grabbed a few books and then off to the Melting Pot for some Fondue-goodness for our anniversary dinner. The booths are so sweet and you get to sit close together instead of across from one another. There was a sweet HAppy Anniversary card on the table. We did not skimp either we got the 4 course Big Night In dinner and it was amazing. Clayton's favorite part was the dessert and the 2 Long Island Ice Teas he had so I drove home to the Hotel. We tried to sleep late the next morning but by 8am we were up in excitement to see our sweet Lilly girl. It was the best feeling in the world when we walked in my parents to pick her up and she smiled, put her arms up and laughed. She also said Dada but I will ignore that...

Fast Forward to Mother's day weekend.

Friday night we went with a bunch of Clayton's family to see the Ranger's beat Kansas City. We took Lilly and she loved it. It was a place where she could people watch and be loud, her two favorite things! She fell asleep no lie during the final pitch of the game and slept through the 15 minutes of fireworks following the game. She went straight to her crib when we got home and slept through the night!

Saturday morning we got up and got Lilly ready to go see her manny and Pops. They were keeping her while we went downtown to play in a 42 tournament. It was put on by the Fort Worth Aggies Club and it was gonna be tough. 42 is an Aggie past time. Our only goal was not to get put out in the first round...and we didn't! We made it three rounds and almost 4. It was so much fun!I can't wait to play in another one.

Sunday was Mother's Day and Clayton and Lilly gave me breakfast in bed. It was a dr Pepper and package of Donuts! I love it! We went to church and then visited all the moms. It was a good day!

This week is high clean mode. My bestie from college is coming to stay with us this weekend and I want to feel at ease when she is here. This week also is the get-ready-for-the-carnival week. This weekend we have a school carnival and I have to make 770 of Bakerella's cake balls. Thats a bunch so I am starting tomorrow. Wish me Luck! We have a lot of plans with Amanda so I will post on how those go later.

Also this weekend is my almost 3 year old sisters birthday! I have gotten her a bunch of stuff but I am also making her a dress and some crochet food. I will make each a post.

I also have finished 4 more movies on my list and need to finish writing up their reviews.

Summer is getting near and I need to post the actual "Summer 2010 Bucket List" for Morgan and me so we can get started.

have a good time till the next,

New Look

Ok so you might notice I have a new look... I hate it! I can't fix it and make it what I want. My posts all look different now. Like my movies post looks normal in the preview but in the actual post it looks terrible. I am miserable about it. I spent 3 hours on this last night and thought it was great BUT my Lilypie tickers things don't fit on the side, some of my posts cut off on the right side, and now my posts are all wonky. I wish I knew more about blogging or could afford someone like Blog Fairy to do it for me. The only part I like is the linkbar across the top so I can have tabs.

I may spend all night again trying to fix it. We'll see.
