Some of Nina's Favorite Things

Well to be honest I never tried 100 Grand till a few weeks ago. Well I could not stop with just one so I have been eating the heck out of these things they are great!!! I asked if they were a new candy bar and got laughed at and this person said they had been around for years!!! Where the heck have I been?? lol



Favorite toothpaste







Can't live without my CHI. Jeff got me this for Christmas and I seriously can't fix my hair without it!
I love love love this cream. It helps with bags under my eyes and makes my skin feel great!! I use the PM solution at night!
This is my favorite jewlery! I have the neclace with 4 charms one with my initial 2 with my boys initials and one with a cross on it. I love love love this jewlery!
I also am a HUGE Brighton braclet with charms fan!! I have one braclet already full and ready to start my next one! I think I may start to theme them.
And if I were Opera I would give you all one of each of my favorite things!! lol

My girls

Ok so as you know I don't have any girls of my own so I just have adopted these girls as my own. I have opened up my own twirling classes at a local gymnastics studio in Haleyville and I have loved every second of teaching these girls. They make me laugh and it gives me some girl time because as most of you know I live in a house of 5 boys and ME just poor little ole me with no other girl but the cat Heidi. Jeff has a daughter but she only comes every other weekend and I love it when she comes but all the other times its just me and a bunch of boys. (which I love but ya know ya need some girl time every now and again) Anyway, these girls have been working SUPER hard on routines for competition coming up soon in Birmingham. I am very very excited to take them and show them off. Here are some pics I snapped last night at practice.
I guess you are asking WHY Addison is in a pic all by herself???? WELL........................ I tried to force her in the group picture and that didn't work and so I begged her to smile and me and finally right before she left she smiled at me. Little Stinker!!!!! lol!!!

So are the days of our lives

Since school has started back I have been super duper busy! I was visiting my parents one day and dad said Im going to build the boys a little playhouse. I was thinking ok but it won't happen for a couple of months and then I come back to visit the next few days and dad had seriously built the most precious playshouse. He worked very hard and did a fantabulous job and the boys were soooo excited and love it so much. Here are a few pics:
My 2 stepsons are playing on a pee wee football league and they are doing super great! I love watching them practice and I love watching Jake and Ty "pretend" they are practicing while the real practice is going on. Here are some pics:

another great e-mail

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear


your computer history if you die.



2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you

realize you're wrong.



3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was

younger.



4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.



5. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?



6. Was learning cursive really necessary?



7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty

sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood .



8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the

person died.



9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.



10. Bad decisions make good stories.



11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at

work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for

the rest of the day.



12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I

don't want to have to restart my collection...again.



13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks

me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear

I did not make any changes to.



14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this -

ever.



15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?

Crap!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to

voicemail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run

away?



16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not

seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.



17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not

to answer when they call.



18. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.



19. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or

Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.



20. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.



21. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger

and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first

saw it.



22. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand

than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.



23. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to

finish a text.



24. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and

hunger.



25. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just

nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?



26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team

up to prevent some jerk from cutting in at the front.



27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get

dirty, and you can wear them forever.



28. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every

year?



29. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are

going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.



30. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still

not know what time it is.



31. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car

keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the

Donkey - but I'd bet my behind everyone can find and push the snooze button

from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!
