Sick AGAIN and Snow day AGAIN

Our HAPPY Family...minus our Two Crazy Cats that were off lounging.

Dad and BIRTHDAY Boy!

My & Izzy...So glad I bought her that Michigan Onsie...even though her dad is a die hard State Fan...lol!!

The CAKE and CUPCAKES were Great..filled with Bavarian Cream SOOO YUMMY. IF you live in our area check out Cupcake Creations in Coopersville!

Mason read all of Calebs Cards, the twins were really into this.

Lisa & Izabella, I was so happy for all that came in their Michigan Gear!!

My Rug Rats!!

Mom even got to "Rock a Michigan Tattoo"..and those dang things are NOT easy to get off.

Seriously I am about ready to throw in the towel on this state and pack up to Florida. Such a tease we had with Sun, Warmer Temps, ALL the snow melting...to BAM another winter snow storm..this time for us more Ice then Snow...but still NOT Spring!!

Regardless of the CRAP weather life has been busy. I had a great time at the Moms Sale, meet some nice people, got rid of some of the kids clothes and made some money in the process...can not beat that!!

We also celebrated Caleb turning 6!! Caleb is my "Sports Fanatic"...and he is VERY loyal to his MICHIGAN Team. So when asked what he would like his Birthday Theme to be (because we ALL need a birthday theme) it was a NO brainer MICHIGAN it was. Now Caleb is a St Patty Day Baby...so on his actual Birthday we took him and a couple buddy's to good ol Chuck-E-Cheese to celebrate followed by the "Family Birthday" on Sunday. Monday he kept saying how this was one of the BEST Birthdays he has had and was SOOO HAPPY...it was so Sweet!

Mom Sale

I have 4 kids, whom like their mother is obsessed with clothes. Shopping consignment is a must for me. I have been attending the West Michigan Mom Sale for some time now, always as a shopper. But this year I am attending as a seller. I have tubs and tubs of boy/girl clothing, shoes, toys etc. So I am hoping I can score some good $$ while also making room in our house...for you know more clothes. So if you are in the West Michigan Area be sure to check it out!!
Mom's Sale & Kids Expo

DeltaPlex, Grand Rapids

A couple pics I took earlier in the week, before ALL the snow melted. Believe it or not a couple days of temps in the 40's and ALL of this is gone. IT is a WET mess out there. The kids had a blast building their tunnel, however I am ready for this to stay gone and look forward to Spring..No jackets and breaking out the FLIP FLOPS!!!

****Just realized I already posted these pics**** Oh well.

My LOVE for Etsy

Have you ever browsed etsy.com if not you are totally missing out. They have EVERYTHING you could ever imagine on there and I just LOVE it. And if you are someone who is good at making stuff like this, you need to look into getting yourself a etsy account and make you some money!!

And no this headband is not for my daughter, it is for ME!! I LOVE it and the seller was VERY prompt in mailing out which is a plus! She even sent a nice Thank you Card with 15% off my next purchase. You can check out her etsy@www.mineforthemaking.etsy.com

Go Packers Go

Me and my mama getting ready to pig out!!

Aunt Di and Paige..not sure what she has..don't ask the child dresses herself lately and it is scary.

Troy stirring up the goods

Not sure why I did not get any pictures downstairs while watching the game. I must have been hanging out with the food upstairs!!

Go Packers Go. We had a great time watching the Game. Lots and Lots of food, even more reason I need to quickly jump on that exercise band wagon...if only I could find that motivation. Now I will enjoy my Football break before baseball season begins. Don't get me wrong...LOVE to watch baseball game in person just not so much on TV.

A Warm up insight

We still have LOTS of Snow, but the forecast is calling for some warmer temps come this weekend...at this point 40 for us is a heat wave!! In the mean time the kids are building a tunnel with all this snow. The little ones usually do not last long out there, it was very cold yesterday.

FURY FRIENDS

I am a SUCKER for animals, a total trait I inherited from my mother!! Ruthie is our cat we adopted from the Humane Society.

Zeik is our Boxer we rescued through a local rescue. He really has a love/hate relationship with the cats of the house.

Zeik and is "usual" spot. Such a BIG baby!!

Smokey is the newest member she was also a rescue from the Humane Society. It took awhile for him to warm up to BIG ol Zeik...as you see here he still peeks around the corner too see where is big friend is.
