Not Me MONDAY!

2009-07-06T09:34:00.002-04:00

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to see what everybody else is not doing.

YIKES!!! It has not been a long and exhausting few weeks for me. I have not had a fun time at all. Camping just is not FUN. I didn't enjoy going to a rodeo. Hank ((My Horse)) and me didn't do good at all...like is was only his first time in about a year. We ran a 17.3 which is not good. Rodney, Me and Bailey did not go camping this past weekend...nor did we have a good time. I didn't get emotional...why would I do something like that. I didn't enjoy listening to the band at the campground. Oh My Gosh, Rodney did not ask me to dance all on his own. He just loves to dance anyways...but he just did not want any brownie points from me. ha That's it for now. Will be back later... =] Peace Out!

Hey folks...YIKES, it's been awhile since I've posted something. There is just no enough time in the days to get everything done. Time just flies by when your having FUN. ha Speaking of fun, I had a wonderful time this past weekend. Last Friday night, Anna had a graduation party..It was very fun. Bailey rode her first bull. haha I still can't believe Ms Anna is now an Alumni. It has even been 4 years since Rodney and I graduated. WOW!! We've come such a long way. Ms. Bailey is 11 1/2 weeks old already. I can't believe 3 months has swept by. I'm loving every minute of it and I'm so excited of how Bailey is growing. I believe we have started the teething stage. She slobers all the time now...plus she loves to chew on every toy she has. It's GREAT and I just love being a MOM! This Sunday will be Rodney's first Father's Day...so let me be the first to go ahead and say Happy Father's Day baby!!! Me & Bailey have some wonderful surprises for daddy. =] I plan to rodeo tomorrow. So I'm super excited about that. YAY!! Can't wait. Bye Bye for now, until next time.

Loving My Baby Girl

2009-06-02T15:29:00.002-04:00

I have the most precious baby girl ever!! I just can't get enough of her. She is growing so much! I cant believe she is already 2 months old. It flies by so fast. She is doing so many new things. I can now tell all of her cries apart. I know the difference between I'm hungry, wet or just wanting to let out esteem. I love her with all my heart. She is my everything. Tonight Bailey and I are going to watch her daddy, papaw, uncle and lots of friends play ball. Can't wait. It is definitely going to be HOT so I'm not sure how long we will sit out and watch. But it should be FUN!! Please come back tomorrow and check out Wordless Wednesday!! =]

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to see what everybody else is not doing.

Well it’s already Monday... This is where I tell you all the things I did not do this past week.

I did not have such a busy, but wonderful weekend. Friday was definitely not my brother-in-laws 20th Birthday. I did not call him to wish him a Happy Birthday. He really did jump for joy when I called. Saturday was not a productive day. I did not go to teach clogging and I did not enjoy it at all. Then I surely did not have so much fun giving my horses a bath. Nope not me. Bailey did not enjoy chilling with her Momma, Grandma and Aunt at the horses...see such proof below.

Sunday was not a good day. We did not have a fantastic time at church. It was so boring. I did not think that Youth Sunday went smoothly. Nope not at all. I so didn't see anybody crying during church. I had such a great time grocery shopping and I really enjoyed my car over heating on the way home from the store. I do not have such wonderful friends to count on. They are never there during our time of needs. So now tell me -- what's some things you absolutely did not do over the weekend.

~Thankful Thursday~

2009-05-28T13:53:00.004-04:00

Finally, it's getting closer to the weekend. Whoo, I'm so ready. Well, today is Thursday and I am once again going to tell ya what I'm thankful for. Today is my grandma's 66th birthday and I want to focus on her. I am so thankful for my grandma. She has done so much for me that I can't even begin to possiby name. But I just want to list a few. First off, thank you for just being my grandma and being there for me whenever and however. You mean the world. Thank you for spoiling me. mmm, Yep I said it. I'm spoiled and I know it. But hey that's what grandmas are for. :o) I also want to thank you for fussing at me everytime I smacked my gum. Now that I am a little bit older...I totally understand why you did that. I used to get mad, but when I see other people doing it I always tell them to stop b/c it really is annoying. Same goes for chewing food with your mouth closed. I just can't stand that and if it was not for you sticking on me about that I'd still be doing it. You are so wonderful to have as a grandma. When times get tough, you are always the one Rodney and I can count on. I just love everything you say or do, has a mural behind it. You know, like don't climb the tree b/c you might fall and break something...well BAM I fell...but I had you right there to catch me. Thank you for teaching me that BumbleBees with white heads on them doesn't have stingers...I remember when you grabbed on and tied a string on its leg and I chased my mom up the heel with it. I have so many precious memories with you! Thank you for all the vacations you took me on...If not for you I would have not got to fly on a plane or take a trip to another country. I just want you to know how amazing you are. I cherish every moment I spend with you. I am so thankful that Bailey has such a wonderful great-grandmother to look up to. I know she loves you a lot!! :o) I just love how she smiles real big when you play with her little toes. It's really heart warming to see you with her. I know you love her! There is not enough expression I could do to show/tell you how much you mean to me. LOVE YOU GRANDMA!!

~Amy~

2009-05-26T10:47:00.002-04:00

Wooooo....What a long and fun weekend! As you know, we went camping this weekend. Oh boy was it fun and LONG. ha We really did have a wonderful time. This was Bailey's first little camping adventure. She done absolutely great. She even slept good. :o) On Friday, Rodney and I went up to Boone. By ourselves, while David {{Rodney's dad/Bailey's PaPaw}} kept Bailey. We had a wonderful time in Boone. We ate at a nice Japanese resturant and after we ate, we lucked up and found a mall. YAY for malls. Rodney and I love them. We bought Bailey some nice little outfits at Old Navy...for really cheap...we only shop the sales/clearance racks. On Saturday, we chilled at the campground. Rodney's best friend came up and they went fishing {{I have lots to pics to post for tomorrow's Wordless Wednesday}}. On Sunday, our little crazy bunch decided to take a boat ride in the pond...ha we raced and our boat won by a long shot.. lol Then finally it was time for HOME SWEET HOME. Rodney and I were ready to come home. I was ready for some home time. Yesterday, was Memorial Day and of course, Rodney and I took some time to remember all those ones in battle. We appreciate all they do for us and our country. We had a very productive Monday...Rodney and I done some major house cleaning!! We started early in the morning and finally at about 3:00p we were done. YAY for a clean house. :o) Now it's back to work and back to our daily routines.. I can't wait to post pictures and show you an update on how much Bailey has grown. She is such a sweetheart and I love her so much! More than she ever imagine. Be sure to check back tomorrow for Wordless Wednesday.

~Amy~

2009-05-22T11:41:00.004-04:00

YAY!!! I'm so glad it is Friday... I'm really excited about this weekend, because first off, I'm off on Monday for Memorial Day. So, an extra day for the weekend. :o) And we are going camping this weekend...that's the other reason I'm so excited. This will be Bailey's first official camping trip. I hope that she does well. I know we will have plenty of help...if we need it. Rodney, Bailey and I finally have established a routine. She is starting to anticipate what comes next...which is really exciting. She really goos & gahs now. I just LOVE it. Bailey is growing and changing every day, even as we speak.

Today, Rodney and I are going to go out {{by ourselves/ ie.without Bailey}} to eat for our anniversary, which was Wednesday. It's hard to believe we've already been married three years! YIKES...time flies by when you are having fun. We are going to go eat in Blowing Rock and walk around the town. Why we chose Blowing Rock - duh? because it's near the campground...can't go to far from Bailey. Her Papaw is super excited because this will be the first time he's watched her without us around. I know he will do GREAT...he will have help if he needs it, but I think he will manage all on his own. This will at least give him some time with Bailey. I hope she will be good. I'm not so sure how long Rodney and I will stay gone. It's very hard on the weekend to leave Bailey, since I have to all through the week.

Well, I will update later on this evening or tomorrow sometime...{{if I don't run out of hours}} I will be sure to take plenty pics of us camping and I'll post them for everyone.

~Thankful Thursday~

2009-05-21T10:14:00.004-04:00

Hey everyone. It's Thankful Thursday again!! Man this week has really flown by...I can't wait for tomorrow...not only is it Friday, but we are going camping this weekend!! This will be Bailey's first little camping trip. I'm super excited and I hope she does well. So let's see what am I thankful for today.....

~God - He's my #1!! This week has really been such a good week. He's blessed me with such a wonderful family.

~Rodney - He's my shoulder to cry on. He really knows how to make me happy! Yesterday was our 3 year wedding anniversary! We are still growing stronger together....more and more each and every day.

~Bailey - She is really growing up so fast...she is changing every single day. I really LOVE her and I can not be thankful enough for her. I just LOVE being a MOM!!

~My Mom - I just don't know what I would do with her. She is a very strong woman. Rodney says I act just like my mom and I'm so glad that I do. She's a great role model for me and for Bailey!

~My Horses & Dogs - I just have to be thankful for them...lol...even though they can be aggrevating -I still love them.

~Rodeos - Can't wait to get back to doing them.

~Clogging - such a stress reliever.

~My Ariat Boots - what would a girl ever do without her boots!

~Christian Music - such an inspiration...makes a bad day turn to good.

~Country Music - every girl has to rock'n'roll. ha

~Vanilla Bean Frappucinos - YUMMY is all I can say

Okay, I'm done for now...of course there is so much more I'm thankful for! There is not enough time in the day to tell all. Hope you have a wonderful "Thankful" Thursday!!

LunchTime Blues

2009-05-19T13:38:00.008-04:00

Oh, I just love lunch times....Not only am I hungry and ready to eat, but I get to see my precious little baby girl!! It's so nice to get to see her everyday for lunch. It makes the BEST lunch ever. Only bad thing is I have to leave and come back to work. Which gives me the lunchtime blues...I hate going back and all I do is think about her. I guess it just gives me something to look forward to at the end of the day. One exciting thing about today is that Bailey and I are going to go watch her daddy play softball. YAY!! Bailey's first softball game. I will definitely post some pictures of her watching her daddy play ball. I so hope that Bailey will want to play ball. Okay, now back to my lunchtime story...today when I got to my mom's house for lunch, my mom just could not wait to show me what she got Bailey. Yep, she got her a See'N'Say. I remember I used to have a See'N'Say when I was little. Bailey really likes it....although, I do not think she realizes the meaning, but she does like to listen to it.

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to see what everybody else is not doing.
Well it’s already Monday... Welcome to my first edition of "Not Me Monday". This is where I tell you all the things I did not do this past week.

For starters, I did not make myself a blog and I have not enjoyed posting something new everyday. I have not had a wonderful week and weekend with Rodney and Bailey. Spending time with her is not fun. I did not enjoy clogging on Tuesday night. The pre-teens class on Wednesday at Church was not fun and they talked a lot. ha I just could not get them to hush. I loved missing my husband play softball. On Thursday, I did not have a movie night with my parents. It was no fun spending time with them. I did not have a great time at Makenzie's 1st Birthday party. She is not so sweet at all. This weekend went by so slow and I could not wait for Monday to be here.

So now tell me....what is it that you did not do this past week...

~Amy~

2009-05-17T21:06:00.004-04:00

Whoooo.....What a weekend! Although it stinks that it has to end. Saturday was such a busy day that I didn't even have time to do a post. Call me slacker if you wish! On Saturday mornings I teach clogging which is very fun and exciting. I love to dance! I hope Bailey has an interest in clogging, but I've got awhile for that. Saturday evening I went to my cousins wedding. Jamie - You were very goregous and your wedding was beautiful!! =] Now to today -- What a wonderful day that the Lord has made...I will rejoice and be glad in it. =] Church was very good this morning {{from what I heard-since I had to take Bailey out}} and this evening. On the way home from church, Rodney and I had to go round up the horses because they decided to venture out of their pasture. Not only was it raining, but it was a little chilly to and I had flip flops on. But hey that's the joy of having horses. I still love them!! Now, I'm just sitting here {{holding Bailey}} watching Survivor. And the winner is....JT! YAY!! That is who Rodney picked from the beginning to win. Okay, I'm off to bed for tonight...Bailey just dozed off and I sleep when she sleeps.

Also, below please find a flyer that my husband made....If you need your car washed, just let him know. He'll be glad to shine it right up. :o)

Fabulous FRIDAY!!

2009-05-15T10:12:00.007-04:00

YAY!! It's Finally Friday...and what can be so fabulous about Friday???? First off, it's the end of the work week for me and I only have to work until 12:30p. Then I'm off to spend the rest of the day with Rodney & Bailey. :0) I'm so ready for the weekend...this week has been very long! Next thing to make today even more fabulous is........drum roll please........Rodney got a call from Target Distribution and he's got the job!! His start date is May 26th. Target put him on the 1st shift which is what we both wanted. A prayer has been answered! Now, tell me what is so fabulous about your Friday.

On another note, I want to wish Ms. Makenzie Haven Pyatte a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! She is ONE today. I can't believe how big she has gotten over the past year. She is very smart and Rodney and I love her so much. We are very excited that her and Bailey get to grow up together. Her daddy, Jeremy, is Rodney's best friend! I will post some pictures up later on this afternoon of her birthday party.

Hope you have a wonderful Weekend!!! ~Amy~

Thankful Thursday

2009-05-14T09:07:00.008-04:00

Hello Everyone!! I hope and trust you are having a wonderful Thursday so far. I have decided to try out Thankful Thursday. I have noticed that a lot of other bloggers do this! I have to go ahead and admit that I took this picture from my good ole friend, Melinda's blog...I don't think she will mind...but please if you have a moment go on over there and check out her blog and leave her some sweet loving! Now, back to Thankful Thursday -- what must I be thankful for...Well, I am thankful for so much that I couldn't even begin to list them all. But just to name a few or more: ~God and my Salvation ~

God has blessed me so much within this past year...and I owe him more praise than imaginable. He has given me some of the best treasures ever...a wonderful husband and daughter. He has given me the chance to be a wife and mother. I am so thankful for that! I was saved on December 31, 2003, at a Big God Conference and I'm so proud to say that I'm a Christian! I attend church regularly and love every minute of it. My husband and I are teaching the pre-teens at our church and we love doing that! Helping kids draw closer to the Lord is such an amazing experience and I'm so glad we have that opportunity.

~My Husband and Daughter~

WOW - is all I can say. I am so thankful for both my husband and daughter. Rodney and I have been together with what seems like forever, but I am definitely NOT complaining. We have had some very fun and memorable moments that will never be forgotten. I have grown to appreciate Rodney more these past few months than any other time....watching him with Bailey is such a blessing and means more to me than he will ever know. He is such a great father, husband and best friend! Now, to my daughter - She is such a joy to have and I love everything about her. You know, I find myself saying I can't wait until she does this or that or until she can talk....But, I think I just need to slow down and treasure the time I have with her now.

~My Mom, Dad and Sister~

I have wonderful parents and a great sister. They really are special and dear to me. My mom is such a strong woman and she has helped make me who I am today. Not only is she just my mom, she is my best friend!

~My Church~

Where to begin - I LOVE MY CHURCH. I attend Mt. Wesley Church in Hiddenite, NC. It's a wonderful little small church where everybody knows everybody. And that' what I love. The congregation has such a great bond. Our church has a wonderful Pastor and I'm not only glad to call him our pastor, but I'm so thankful to call him a friend! He has a wonderful wife and two awesome daughters! You can talk to them about anything. Right now, our church is in the process of building a new one. It's great! I can't wait to see the finished project.

Okay now to some random stuff that I'm thankful for:

~Swings - that don't have to be crunk~

~Formula - mixed at room tempature~

~Car seats with bases~

~Ice Cream~

~Flip Flops~

~Lots more, but I've plainly just run out of time~

Home Sweet Home

2009-05-12T20:41:00.011-04:00

What a nice thing to come home to after a long day at work. My precious little girl!! Oh, how I LOVE HER SO MUCH!! I just can't say that enough. Okay, so what's a girl to do when she's at home...no husband just Bailey...how about blog a little.

Well, Rodney's playing church softball tonight. The boys had three games and the last one started at 9pm and I sure was not going to keep Bailey out that late. So I just stayed here at good ole Home Sweet Home!! Bailey has been a very good girl today. She really smiles and goos and gahs a lot now. I LOVE IT!! It's so nice when she smiles...it makes a bad day to a good day.

Rodney, Bailey and I had a very good weekend. It was very productive. We got the garden planted, took pictures with Dakota and Bradley for prom and went to eat at Richard and Melinda's house. Let me tell ya a little bit about Richard and Melinda....for starters, they are just AWESOME and Rodney & I LOVE THEM!! They're great friends! And they really mean a lot to us. Plus, their daughters are my BFF's of all times!! Now to Bradley and Dakota's prom pictures...we had a great time taking pictures. Well, let me re-pharse...Kota and me had a great time taking pictures...Bradley was not very excited and neither was my husband nor David-->who is a great Father-in-law. They all seem to hate pictures...oh well they had to take them anyways. Below are some pics:

Well, I am going to go for now...gotta finish the pre-teen lesson I've been working on, plus take care of Bailey, cook Rodney some supper for when he gets home, and finish laundry...lots to do and too little time...

A Little Bit About ME...

2009-05-12T16:50:00.000-04:00

Hello there...Welcome to my blog!! Please remember this is all new to me. So bare with me while I get the hang of this. I tend to ramble and have random thoughts! First off, let me tell you a little bit about me --I love God with all my heart. He has blessed me with so many wonderful things! I have a wonderful family and church family. I am married to my highschool sweetheart. (ha don't that make me sound old) He is such a wonderful man and I love everything about him. SHE'S FINALLY HERE!!! My husband and I just had our first baby. Her name is Bailey and she was born on April 1, 2009. Yep - An April Fool's baby. She is such a joy and a blessing to us. My husband and I love her so much!! She will definitely be daddy's lil' girl and mommy's lil' sweet pea! I just experienced my first mother's day and it was amazing. I never realized how much a mother loves her child, until I saw Bailey for the first time. WOW! that's all I can say. Okay see I told you I can get off subject very easy. Now back to a little about me...

My favorite hobby = Barrel Racing. I absolutely LOVE barrel racing and pole bending. Rodeos and NBHA shows are the best!! I have two horses. {names: Hank & Sugar} Also, I have two dogs named Rascal & Sassy. {mini schnauzer & st. bernard} They are my lil' babies and YES I do treat them like humans. Crazy I know!! Also, I ABSOLUTE LOVE to go camping and so does Rodney and I know Miss Bailey will enjoy it as well. Our favorite place to go camping is the good ole Green Mountain Park. And of course we have a "camping crew" that we go with....the "camping crew" includes: The Nulls, Kerleys and Browns!! They're awesome and camping would not be camping without them! I LOVE IT!!Okay, now I'm done telling a little bit about me...I just have a few more things to add then I'll be done with this post until next time...
WOW!! Time has sure flown by since the Delivery Day! I can't believe it. Bailey will be 6 weeks old tomorrow. It really goes by quickly. She is so precious and such a joy for Rodney and me. We love her more and more each and every day. She is very alert and staying up more during the day now. She sleeps well at night and over all, she's just a great baby! I have had a very hard time the past couple of weeks because I have had to start back to work. With our finances, I just could not stay out any longer without getting any funds. It's been very difficult. I go the whole day and all I think about is her. At least it gives me something to look forward to when I get home. Bad thing is, all I want to do when I get home is be a "Bailey HOG" and not put her down or let anybody else hold her. But I'm getting used to it and I know it's probably a good thing to get a break. Ok so I'm getting really excited b/c Rodney and I have an anniversary coming up. We will be married 3 years on May 20th. I can't believe it's been that long, although, it feels like more years than that. We've been together since 2003 so I guess it has been awhile. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH and I could not see myself with anybody else. I'm so glad we're together and now we have a nice little family started. =] YAY!! I just gotta figure out what I'm going to get him!! Any idea's??

I will be posting again soon!! I hope everyone has a lovely Tuesday!! Remember God loves you!!
