Wednesday's Words of Wisdom...

I have been meaning to post this video clip. When Grey's granny Deb and Papa Davey closed on their "new" house we all gave them our words of wisdom or our own little piece of advice. Check it out for yourself...

Okay well for right now all I have are Papa Davey's words of wisdom for you...

***I am having some technical difficulties and I can't get the other video to upload but as soon as I can I will upload it for you...*** However, Papa Davey is still always a good laugh!

Target Tuesday...

Okay so I just returned from Target on this cloudy and dreary Tuesday and just put my love bug down for an afternoon snooze. As I was putting away the "nothing" that I bought and still managed to spend $146 to be exact I was a little "bugged" because I cannot stand the fact that I spent that and have nothing to show for it.

However, as I have mentioned in previous posts I do like to watch Oprah in the summer and today was about staying young and what you should be doing. So to add to my "nothing" list I bought a night guard-because I think I am grinding my teeth at night (saw that on Good Morning America) and I bought this oil of olay stuff for my lips. I know I know I did not need that... I was going to buy this exfoliator but I opted not to because it was kinda expensive and I already had enough in my cart. So, this is what I came home with...

Target Tuesday's List
Shampoo and Conditioner
one night guard
Baby formula for Grey
daily women's vitamins
my "lip" stuff
Tums
toilet bowl cleaner
Q-tips

And I managed to spend over a hundred dollars and I did make a little teeny tiny pit stop at Starbucks but paid cash for that (Grey and I have a little pool/starbuck stash that we keep in the diaper bag-hah!)

So what should I have learned from this??? Help me out and tell me...
Do I need to become a better bargain shopper?
Do I need to stop going to Target?
Or do I need to stop watching Oprah so much?

None of these sound right to me, but Nate would tell you that I definitely need to become a better bargain shopper!!!

Walk along and eat a push-up while you're at it...

Or how about the other way around! First, we will show you how much Greyson likes to eat a push-up with his daddy and then a little bit (not a lot) of walking action for you (with toy of course.) Then, granny Ann and Papa Mike stopped by to visit me last night and they gave me a tubby so we have a little video of that too!

Just some video action all pulled into one post!

The fabulous tasting push-up...

Trying to walk along...

And tubby time with Granny Ann...

***Sidenote-I did cook those kabobs last night and even fed my brother Alex too -not sure yet what's for supper tonight but it will be posted later***

Always up to something...

When Nate was little he loved loved loved to play dress-up! So, he needed to cut his sleeves off of his T-Shirt that didn't fit anymore and he decided to use them as cool hats for him and Grey!

These are the stud muffins in my life! They are a hoot!

Greyson decided to get into the pots and pans...

Somehow he got hold of the spatula...

And would you look at that....He is squeezing Murphy's tail kinda tight and Murphy is too busy eyeing up a treat...Lucky for Greyson (I was laughing so hard when I saw him doing this)

Alan Jackson came to town...

and Nate was super excited that they were giving out free T-shirts! We are very lucky because we were given another "hall" pass from grandma and grandpa Ernat! I do have to say we don't go out much but we are offered a lot of hall passes either from granny Ann and Papa Mike or the Ernats. So, we could go out a lot but we really never do- it just seems like lately we have been doing stuff-hah! So, someday when Greyson is reading this he will know that his parents still knew how to have a good time-right?!?!?

Oh, and by the way I like to refer to getting a babysitter as a "hall" pass in case you didn't know what I was talking about-My aunt Amy came up with that one-she always has the perfect one liners-hah!

So, back to the concert....We met up with our friends Camron and Pat and D babe (D's hubby was at a bachelor party -a 4 day bachelor party I might add so she was due for a night out.) The only thing that really bites about a concert is having to pee so bad you are going to piss your pants and having to wait in line for at least a half hour and then have to use the most disgusting thing in the world...A porta(SP?) potty...not fun but it gets the job done I guess! We also saw Auntie Mims there -she looked like she was ready to party. All in all, it was a fun night and Alan Jackson put on a really good show.


This is Nate and his Free T-shirt-I think this made his night-that's Camron in the back with the blue tongue...

Us...and our fish bowls....I was calling them soup bowls-I told you we don't get out much...

I tried to get a pic of the stage...

Camron and Pat

My bestie....Camron

My sista... aka...Auntie Mims

The Girls...

Kiss Kiss



Good Times!!!

Belly up Grey!

Well to say farewell to Aunt Diane we took her down to the Peru Boat Club for some Illinois Valley fried chicken. You know I guess those are the two signature things you can get around here or should I say what the Illinois Valley is known for-fried chicken and alcohol. Wow we are doin' great-huh?!?!? Okay that's for a whole other post someday.

Anywho, Aunt Diane has worked really hard on the new house. She primed the whole "great" room of paneling for Deb and she painted all the registers and helped prime some other rooms. She was a big help and we are so glad she came to visit. As far as my family goes we were all pretty tired. My mom and dad were tired from their night out in Chicago and for me my bed time was fast approaching but I did manage to have a good time at the bar.

For some reason Papa Davey wanted to flatten my "cool" hair that my mommy always does special before we go out anywhere...

Hey can I get a drink?

I'd like to get up on that bar stool if I could...

Already grabbing the coasters...

Hey thanks lady-instead of a drink the bartender gave me some plastic cups to play with...That will do for now... She must of thought I was a pretty cute customer...

***Sidenote-I would just like to add that the clothes Greyson is wearing should NOT be for the middle of July. It has been a very weird summer here (for weather) -it is the middle of July and it was in the 60's last night...***
