Dwayne Johnson is NOT the tooth fairy!

Ms. Ava lost her first tooth!!

So while she was sleeping I stuck $2 under her pillow..the next morning went like this....

Ava: The tooth fairy came, look allyson I got some money

Allyson: Yay!!!

Ava: She didn't take my tooth tho

(oops mommy forgot to take it!!!)

so Allyson tried to cover for me

Allyson: Well you know the fairy left it for mommy to scrapbook

Ava: OHHHHH

into my room she marches

Ava: Mom, Was Dwayne Johnson my tooth fairy ??

Mommabird: No (laughing like crazy) why would you ask that?

Ava: Because if he is we are going to be in a movie

Mommabird: okay! wow! I will look out for him next time!

FUNNY GIRL!!!

She took the tooth to school for show n tell....

She Scraps...

Here are a few of my projects I've been working on lately.

A recipe swap....

A Spring Tag Swap

A Fall page about Sean...

A Spring Page about Allyson

You can do whatever you feelllllllll.....

YMCA is official!
We are now members (again)Thanks to POP POP!! The kids went swimming already indoors since they need to retake the swim test to get their bands for all access. Sean is a little nervous about that so we will see.

Ava and I did a Mommy and Me class yesterday, she had a ball!

I may even sign up for a step class or 2. I don't want to be the only fatty in the family!
This may be the perfect time to jump on the FITNESS BANDWAGON!

I won't say I've never been on it but its been a minute..It started in college, I was the tall skinny girl and never worried about working out or what I ate til I signed up for cheerleading. Our coach was a FITNESS FREAK! she made us count every single calorie and made us work hard.

I was basically a size 4 til my wedding day in 1997. My cinderella gown fit perfectly... I looked beautiful on my horse and carriage with my glass slippers...and..okay i'm getting off topic.

back to working out...
so I was a size 4, got married then started having babies (hello allyson and sean) and my tummy and my boobs started to spread..now I don't mind my 38C cup but the tummy has GOT to go...so in 2004 I joined a gym and got back into it..then got pregnant again!!! (Hello Ms. Ava!)

then I lost it again, then fell in love and gained it all back and now today I'm looking 6 months pregnant ...NO JOKE! I can SQUEEZE into a size 8 jean and thats what I want but I want to be a slim and trim size 8 not a "My muffin top runneth over jeans size 8"
(don't laugh)

time for some action!!!

Sponsor a Nesmith...

As most of you know I've been laid off since Mid February and trying to find a job is a challenge in itself but having to find affordable childcare is almost impossible!

I applied for a schlorship at our local Y.M.C.A the kids had a blast there last summer going to their camps while I worked.

Well summer is fast approaching and I need to be able to find work, interview and ultimately WORK so I need somewhere for them to go.

To make a long story short We were accepted for only $10 per child/so $30 per month for membership at the Y (and not the normal $145 a month)!! YAY that's the good news..the bad news is that we can't even afford that right now.

After we are members for 30 days we can apply for another scholorship to the camps for just $40 a week instead of the $130 a week for each child.

SO I know I need your help..I know I have at least 7 readers between family and friends.

SO if you would like to or can SPONSOR a Nesmith child for just $10 we would be oh so appreciative. It takes a village ... Please!!

PLUS:::::We will send you a batch of HANDMADE GREETING CARDS as a THANK YOU!!!

You can paypal it to : channypea@yahoo.com

*smooches*

Spaghetti and Meatballs....

So since I'm home now read: UNEMPLOYED..I'm cooking more!!

I've never done homemade spaghetti and meatballs and wanted to try it. I surfed the net and found a super easy recipe on Food Network's site.
















They came out yummy and the kids are begging for me to make it again!







Bon Appetit!
