It be fun!

It be fun! That's Kendall's current catchphrase. And that is my feelings about this weekend. We are going to grill out, play in the backyard, and watch the Cards kick some Wichita butt!

Are you wearing RED? You know we are. It be fun!

Also... I posted a picture of Kendall tracing numbers last night. Here is the video if you don't believe me. As my husband says "scholarship!" She is so smart and I can't help but brag. Sorry, not sorry. 

I've been wanting to link up with Whitty on a Friday for sometime now and this song is only fitting for this weekend. Go CARDS!

 

Vlog with my Iowa Peeps & Accents

Today I thought it would be fun to link up with my blogging BFF Erin! Also, I have not posted a vlog in a while so this was the perfect opportunity.

I say “ummmm” a lot and I probably fidget too much BUT if you’re like me, I like hearing and seeing bloggers from time to time. It’s fun to put a face, voice, and personality to words you read every day!


For the record, I cannot tell you where Iowa is without looking at a map. And I think I broke my pinky toe an hour after filming this. Has anyone ever done that? What should I do?

Go check out Erin’s link up and make some new friends today!

I also saw this ACCENT vlog link up at Stewart Street. I did this one a few years ago and I thought it would be fun to include that too! Original blog post HERE.
Keep in mind this was done in September 2011 so that is why I look very different. Ha! AND I live in Kentucky and have a southern accent.

AND I'm getting my hair done today. I'm thinking about going back to blonde for spring! Thoughts?

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanksgiving Link Up

Hey All! I’m linking up with Erin & Holly today for their Turkey Trot Link Up!

I didn’t realize it but I spent the first 3 minutes talking about my new haircut. Ooooppppss…
About that… this was the photo I showed the hair lady…



So it’s not exactly how I wanted it, but oh well… it’s just hair!
Enjoy my video! Excuse the dark room (I have horrible lighting in this house and it’s dark outside) and my manly sick voice.
xoxo

Go link up with Erin & Holly!

2. All the crap behind me is birthday party stuff, high chair we don't use anymore and other crap we store in our office

3. I say like and umm a lot.. who doesn't?

Link up with Emily and Holly so I can watch your vlog and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friday!

We flooded our hotel…

Ok so we booked a hotel room where everyone else was staying for the wedding. I will not disclose the hotel name or location but if you want to know where NOT to stay when you go to a wedding in Cincinnati leave me a comment and I will tell you.

We checked in Friday evening and the toilet would make funny noises for like 10 minutes after you flushed. It was nothing more than annoyance so we didn’t see the point in complaining or asking to switch rooms. I mean… this wasn’t a Ritz Carlton.

On Saturday while I was away doing wedding party things Chris was getting Kendall ready in our room. He used the restroom, flushed the toilet and it started making the noises so he ignored it.

He then spent about 15-20 minutes getting Kendall changed and dressed for the wedding and packing her diaper bag. As he walked out the door holding Kendall he was stepping in water from the bathroom.

The water was rushing out into the hotel hallway and to the other side of our room at this point. He got help and called my mom to take Kendall. A manager came to our room with a wet vac and Chris frantically tried to save our luggage and belongings from the flood.

**** Please note that we were on the 5th floor and the toilet overflowed to the lobby of the hotel****

Here is the video provided from my cousin Becca.

I received a text at this point and called to hear the news. They got Chris and our WET things to a new room and Chris rushed to make it in time for the wedding… with WET SOCKS and SHOES. :(

My mom and Kendall in front of the water leak. :)

When we got back to the hotel we asked to speak to a manager and not only did they NOT apologize for our inconvenience they asked WHAT WE DID????

They did not care that all of our clothes were soaked and were not helpful at all. I sent them a letter.

So that's our hotel story! We laugh about it now. Haha I just can’t help but feel sorry if anyone was staying in a room below us.

Accent Blog

 

So I’m jumping on the accent vlog bandwagon. This was blowing up on twitter last night and I thought it would be fun to do and I’ve always wanted a reason to do a VLOG!

I’m not 100% sure but I think the accent blog originated here.

Enjoy!!!

Don’t you just love the face I’m making here… oh and I say “Thank you” at the sure… Ha!

The instructions are to say these words:
Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught

And answer these questions:
What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
What do you call gym shoes?
What do you say to address a group of people?
What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
What do you call your grandparents?
What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
What is the thing you use to change the TV channel?

Ok now if all of you haven’t quit following me now… please leave your link if you do an accent vlog because I would LOVE to check it out!!

Snow Day Recap - if you don't like when people talk about their dogs don't read! (Picture Heavy)

This is how I have felt today:

Verdict: It's been awesome and relaxing just like I promised myself!

8 inches!!!

Now let's talk about my dog Wilson! He loves the snow!!!

I tried to upload a video I took of Wilson playing fetch with snowballs but either our internet is too slow or it just takes forever - I'm too impatient!

Work in Progress!

Our faceless snowman! Laying in the snow. I'm not really sure how this happens. I guess from all the lounging in the snow. Shelli to the rescue! The hairdryer didn't help a whole lot so we ended up sticking him in the tub!
