Ty's First BUBBLE BATH

A few weeks ago we bought Tyler some bubbles for the first time. He loves them. He really won't take a bath without them. He points to the bubbles then to the running water and says "Bubbles." It sounds more like Bobbles though. It's pretty darn cute. He has tried to eat the bubbles though. That's the only bad thing about them, Tyler thinks they look tasty.

Shirt.Woot!

Well, it would appear that I'm also a shopping addict, but my weakness is Shirt.Woot! I just Woot!ed again - this time on this shirt:

Here's a better view of just the image from the first one:

The fair.

This last week was the Fair. I worked at the Maternal Instincts booth six days out of the eight. All I can say is I'm glad it's over. It's been a very busy week for our family. I was gone for at least 10 hours a day and poor Cory had to handle Ty and school on top of that. He was able to take a small break and come to the Fair on Tuesday. We walked around before my shift. I was pretty faired out on by then though. But, we took Tyler to see the horses, cows, chickens, and pigs. He of course like the horses the best. He was fascinated by the cows tails, he laughed when the roosters cawed, and he hated the pigs. He got to eat ice cream and see me work in action. It was pretty fun. We also went to the photography building and saw all of Amy's work that she entered. She even entered a cute picture of Tyler. He got an honorable mention. That's better than nothing. Sorry that the pictures aren't that great. The camera died after taking two pictures. Thanks again to those handy camera phones that we use all of the time.

Cory and Ty petting the horses. Tyler loved the horses.

This is a cute shot of the two of them.

Tyler's pointing at the horses.

This is Tyler watching the pigs. He did not like the pigs. He's never seen one in person before so he was a bit reserved and hesitant around them.

He liked these goats. They would like his hands and he would giggle.

There was a petting zoo at the fair and they had animals out of their cages. Mostly goats. So the goats would walk right up to Tylers stroller or they would nudge him on the shoulder. He really liked that. He's such an animal lover.

Here is a picture of Tyler that Amy entered into the fair at the fair. He's such an adorable boy.

A perfect shirt for Cory.

There is this website that Cory and I love. It's called woot.com. Well, there is a link from woot to shirt.woot. They have the funniest shirts. They are $10 a piece and have free shipping. This shirt came up one day and we had to get it. It's so Cory. I think it's funny. Everyone in the nursing program will want to have it.

A new shoe rack

I was putting all my new shoes away from this Redcats refer a friend program, and I realized I really shouldn't be ordering any more shoes. I could not find a place to put them. It's ridiculous. My shoe rack is filled to the max. I think it's time for a another shoe rack. What do you think?

Cory's free stuff....

Since I've been getting all these free clothes, I thought I'd post what Cory came home with the other day. HIm and his cousin David went dumpster diving at ISU because Cory knew they were getting rid of all this computer stuff. He got a ton of Cat 5 cable (whatever that is) and other weird wire things. I like the shelves he came home with. Hopefullly we can find some use for them. If anything, we can hang them in out storage area for extra storage space.

Great deals for TYler and Abby

So, last week there was a good sale at K-Mart. So of course, the first thing I do is call Melanie. I know how much she likes K-Mart. Then, I'm off to find Tyler's size. I picked out these two outfits for about $2 a piece. They will be for next summer. I thought it was a pretty good deal. We usually don't do characters, but Cory and I thought we could do Tigger for 2 dollars. What a deal.




That same day, we went to Ross...another favorite. I found these pants for 0.49 cents. I had to get them. I thought that was a great deal. There a size 14 in girls. They won't be fitting anyone anytime soon. Jenni thinks Abby may fit into them in a few years.....but, for 49 cents. That really is a good deal. I hope you like them Abby.

An interesting bumch of free clothes...

Here are more pictures of some of the clothes I got this week. Some are interesting. What I've learned from this experience is to never order online unless you are certain they will fit and you are certain the color isn't weird. It has been fun getting free clothes though.

This is my brown 'rap suit' or my velour jogging suit. I quite like it. It first really good and it's comfy. It will be nice to wear come winter.

This shirt goes perfectly with my rap suit. I wouldn't wear it on it's own thought. At least it brings color into the brown outfit.

I love this skirt. I think I got it in brown and sage too. It so comfy. I love it.

An interesting outfit to say the least. The pants are pepto bismal colored and courdoroy. The tank is way to short. Anyone want it? The pants would be cute with a better shirt.

This skirt is from La Redoute. It fits pretty good, except for one thing.....it's too short. I will give it to you though Krista. I think it should fit. And, it's not that red in real life.

Another one for Krista. I loved, loved this skirt. The pink part has tiny cream polka dots. IT's so dang cute. IT would go perfectly with a cute cream shirt. IT's too short though. I loved it.

Nice TALL shirt from Metrostyle. I can wear it to work with one of my many pairs of brown slacks.

I haven't tried this on yet. I like it. I like brown.

If anyone wears this outfit out, I will give you 5 bucks. Hideous skirt.

This is a nursing shirt. I thought I'd get it to try it out for when I nurse again. It's weird. It has a layer of fabric under the front of the shirt with the 'nursing slits'. I just don't know what to think of it yet. I guess I'll just have to save it for later.

An interesting set of skirts. The first one is too short and has this massive slit on the side, it goes way up my leg. I don't think it will work for anyone. THe pink and white one is different. THe picture was much cuter than the real life skirt.

Cory's new tie from Kingsize. After ordering a few weird socks, here is a tie I got for Cory by stacking certificates. I think it's pretty nice.

My shorts and gouchos. THe denim shorts are too short and the brown gouchos are just a weird shade of brown.

Holy Free Clothes Everyone.......

Cute outfit #1....with coordinating shoes. Beautiful. The shirt is a little too small and too short. Krista...Mom...who calls it first gets it???

It really is a cute outfit!!

Cute outfit #2....too bad it's way too short on me. It goes above my knee....again...Krista? I love how I have shoes and a purse to match it. Oh well. I still love it.

Cute outfit #3......I love this shirt and pants. The shoes are way comfy too.

Close-up of the beautiful shirt.

Cute outfit #4.....I love, love, love these gouchos....they are so comfy...The shirt is obviously too small. I'm hoping it will fit Abby, Juliette, or Maddie. If anything, they can wear it as a night gown. The orange sandels are so ugly with that flower, I thought they matched the shirt though. And the bag....They colors are funky, I don't know what or when I'll use it.

Cute outfit #5....I loved this shirt when I first ordered it...but, unfortunately, it won't fit over my lovely ladies. Too bad. I think it's way cute. The pants are kind of funny. They're the cropped kind and so they look like high waters, they're different. The socks on the side are animal print trouser socks. I love them.

Isn't it soooooo cute.

Cute outfit #6....well, how about cute shirt #6. I'm still not quite sure if I like this skirt or not. It's comfortable, but I don't know about the color. This shirt matches it perfectly, but I don't know if I have anything else to match it.

These sandals are so funny. They have a dainty little heel on the back. I like them a lot.

Cute outfit #7.....I love this skirt. It's so comfy. I really like the frilly bottom. The shirt is a boatneck, so I would have to wear a layer under it, but other than that it's alright, a little plain, but alright. I love my dangle bracelet and earrings too. I've worn them quite a lot already.

Close-up of the frill.

So, It's bad enough that I got one of these skirts....but two. And, who would've thought that this pattern was 'NEW KHAKI.' I do have to say that it is really comfortable as well. Ugly, but comfortable. Maybe if I found a cute shirt....I don't know.

Maternity outfit #1....No, I'm not pregnant, but since a few sites had maternity, I thought I'd get a few things. This skirt is awesome. I wouldn't wear this t-shirt with it, but I wanted to show off an outfit.

Maternity shirt #2....very comfy is all I have to say. It's a bit big and long, but I can always wear it as a night-shirt.


This is like my favorite shirt that I've gotten so far. It's a little wierd looking, I know, But I love it. THe pocket in the front is so cute.


This is another great T-shirt. It's so long and comfy as well. I loved the red sandals as well. I'm thinking about getting a cute belt to wear over the shirt to show off a cute waist line. I'll have to see if I can get one for free. The hat at the top is gold. It's weird. Do not get it. Tyler likes it though.


These are two cover-ups for when we go swimming. The bright orange one is a mesh-like fabric...it's very very bright. I really like the other skirt though. I have a brown swimming suit that it will look good with when I go swimming. I'll pretty much wear it when we are walking to the pool, or driving to the pool...ect. It is pretty short too.


These sweat pants are awesome. They are talls and so they fit right. They color is turquosie, but just for wearing around the house or to bed.....I love them.


I really like this brown shirt. The sleeves are a little short, but I like everything else about it.

Questionable outfit #1...The pants are black leggins...I've always wanted to try them, I just need to find the perfect shirt to go with them. By the way, I hate this shirt. It's is awful.

Questionable outfit #2...I don't know. The shirt is very different, and white. I don't really look good in white. I like bright colors. ANd the skirt is like a sweat pant, but a skirt. It's weird.


Anyone want this shirt? It is way too short for me.

Questionable Accessories.....there is a periwinkle fleece hat, pink slip on shoes, brown shoes ( I do have to admit they are pretty cute on...very plain, but cute) and funny socks for Cory from Kingsize. The white ones are polyester. They are so wierd.


Last but not least, the REJECT pile. I may keep the green shirt to wear as a night shirt....but everything else is awful. I mean awful.


Cure pillow forms from Brylane Home. Once they are covered, they will go in our basement on the couch down there. The one in the bag is a down feather one. I haven't taken out of the bag because I know Tyler will love pulling the feathers out of it. Good choice Angie.

Cute set of Ramekins....we also got the strainer and pie plate from Brylane HOme. I also have a few pairs of pajamas that were in the wash. Maybe once I get another haul I will post them then.
