Super Slacking... But here is an Update!

I've been slacking on blogger lately!! Tons of things have happened since I've last been on here! I don't even know where to start!
I need to find an Etsy person to feature!! Please comment here if you would like to be featured on my blog and I will pick a random winner!!
I did a couple giveaways on my blog and a few people never sent out the item to the winner so I'm going to hold off on the giveaways for a while... Or I'll set it up to where if you would like to host a giveaway then have them send it to me so I can make sure the winner will receive it...
How was every one's Thanksgiving? We spent it with my in laws... NEVER did that in the almost 10 years Dean and I have been together. It wasn't as bad as I thought. But I still missed my family like crazy! My moms cooking is the best!
I still can't get over Christmas just being right around the corner!!
Sadly to say but I'm just not doing it this year! I'm getting a couple gifts for the kids and that's about it. I didn't even do cards this year.... I'm just not in a Christmas spirit I guess. Times are hard! But then again Dean and I have always waited to get each others gifts when taxes come or we take a family vacation which is better to me anyway since we get family time and we can go where we want and have wonderful memories!! We spoil our kids everyday of the year so I think they will be fine this year with just a couple of gifts LOL.
I did find a few cute recipes I would like to make for Leilani's teacher and a few friends and stick them in cute boxes to give away as gifts... I just hope they turn out good LOL.
My brother in law has been living with us since October.... He has been a huge help but can be a pain in the ass but what can I say we love him and he does help out a ton! Dean is helping him join the ARMY which is really good for him! The ARMY has done nothing but great things for Dean so I know it will work out for JB!! He's a great kid and this is his opportunity to make a great life for himself!! He leaves to boot camp in Jan. We will all miss him but we are very proud of him!
Let's see what else... Leilani brought home another progress report from school and is doing great! Her reports are always better and better she is doing great in school and she loves it! AJ is getting bigger and is such a big help to me during the day!! He is all about trains! My wonderful neighbors, Mary, Bryan, and Tyler gave him a HUGE train table with wooden and plastic trains and probably over 100 trains!!!! He is in train heaven when he plays with it! We play with him everyday and I'm amazed just watching him put the tracks together. We have the best neighbors! I looked for a train table and all the accessories and for that one they gave us... on craigslist this one person was selling it for over 700 dollars and thats did not include everything Mary gave AJ!! So I know that was a lot of money!! I'm just so grateful they thought of AJ and Leilani!!
Well I better get my butt ready to stand out in the cold to pick up Leilani from the bus stop... YES, I am finally letting her take the bus LOL... I was a paranoid mom in the beginning but I've met the bus driver and she seems really nice so I'm somewhat a little less paranoid haha. Gosh I can't imagine both of my babies going to school!! AJ has 2 more years to go AHHH!!!!
Again please comment if you would like your Etsy shop to be featured!!!!

No time...

I feel like I never have time anymore. I'm so busy with Leilani going to school and getting use to the school routine, waking up early, driving to school, going back home, getting ready for work, go to work, come home, clean up, pick up Leilani from school, then cook dinner, eat dinner, get clothes ready for the next day, bathe the kids, bedtime for the kids, chat it up with my hubby, showertime for me, time for bed, wake up and do it all over again.
I love it don't get me wrong but man I just feel so tired!!
I just wish I could adjust faster after the weekend!!
I miss my online friends!! I never get to go on my forums anymore :( I just never have time :( I'm struggling just to make hairbows sometimes! But today my goal is to get at least 10 hairbows done after work while AJ is napping!!!
I did do a Heart Ladybug Tutu last night! I'll take a picture when Leilani gets off school!! It turned out pretty good!!
Hope everyone is well!!!

Ok...These wheels and tires are almost new !!!! Here's the deal...I bought these wheels and tires almost new back in September 2007 and had them on the truck for about 2 months until I took them off in November before the winter. I put the wheels back on around April but decided to take them back off about 3 weeks later when I decided to trade in my truck because of the rising gas prices. So right now since I finally have the time to try to sell them because they need to go because they're just sitting around collecting dust in the garage. The wheels are 22" Cattivo 724 and the tires are 305/40/22 GoodYear Fortera's SL Edition. The tires were purchased (I have the receipt) at Sam's Club in Clarksville and come with the Road Hazard Warranty which entitle the owner to free rotation, balance and flat repair and the GoodYear warranty which will replace the tires for defect purposes if ever needed. The wheels have no defects what so ever...FLAWLESS!!!! Each spoke has a plastic insert that can be taken to be painted what ever color you choose or just left off...The choice is yours....All together this set cost me $2000.00 dollars.... I would like to have these wheels gone by winter so please make me an offer!!! ALL OFFERS WILL BE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION No trades please...If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask what so ever...I beleive the bolt pattern is 6x135mm...Please double check for fitment...I HAVE MORE PICTURES OF WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE WITHOUT THE INSERTS AND ALSO WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX...PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE IF YOUR INTERESTED

Tan line...

So I have this crazy flip flop tan line since I wear flip flops a lot during the summer.. well I painted my toes this hot pink color and I was outside with my husband with no shoes on and he looks down at my feet and says "are those the new thing? invisiflops?"
So now we have this joke going that I could sell invisiflops to everyone and just paint your toes a different color for a variety of invisiflops hahaha... do you think anyone would buy them?? haha I'll have to take a picture of my invisiflops today and add them on here.
..............
Here are a few pictures of my doggie! He loves wearing that bow tie haha....

And here are some crazy pictures of my silly hubby and son...

New matching outfits that I made

Thank you to my neighbor Shino who helped me thread my sewing machine!! My mother in law gave me a sewing machine almost a year ago and I had yet to use it cause I didn't know how to thread it!! Well my neighbor came over here and did it for me!
I'm so blessed to live by some of the most awesome people you could ever meet yet live next too!
Hope you like the pics...
The doll's dress I did in a hurry because I started like 5 mins before I had to pick up Leilani at school... So the bottom of her dress is not sewn together the way I wanted.
But Leilani loves both outfits!
I've had so much fun I even made a matching tote bag and eyeglass case for Leilani!!
