This one is for last week... haha!!

Sorry that it has been a WEEK since my last post! Gosh.. We have not been feeling good at the Luton household. Snotty nose, yucky mess in our chest... but it is OK.. we are finally getting around!!

Monday was Labor Day. We went to our Annual Church Labor Day Pig Pickin'! It was so fun!! We always have the best time! David made his yummy baked beans... I could not taste them, but I am sure that they were good!! Hehe! We always have Boiled peanuts!! They are so good! I just found out that a man that works on the same floor as me makes them and sells them... HELLO!!! haha! Anyways, we also had BBQ, BBQ Chicken, all the sides you could think of, all the desserts that you can think of and of course... SWEET TEA! I mean, what is a pig pickin' without sweet tea??

I had to come to work Labor Day night and ended up coming in early and going down to the ED to sit with two suicidal patients. fun fun fun.. You can hear the excitement... right?? But, like Momma said.. easy money! So... I started reading a book that mom told me to read... The Choice by Nicholas Sparks. I got through over half of it.. It was kinda slow getting started, but then I started to really get into it. Anyways, I finished it last night! WOW! It was soooo good! I hope that they decide to make a movie out of it.. it was THAT good!!

Tuesday... I slept!!hahaha... Like I had said earlier, I was not feeling all that good, so we lounged all day, and Haley came and helped me with Bailey! Thanks Dute! :)

Tuesday night, my wonderful husband made us dinner! It was so good!!!

It was a Macaroni Grill pasta mix... It was Alfredo Linguine with sun dried tomatoes. He also fixed Salmon to go over it.. Let me say it again... SO GOOD! I just had to take a picture!!

Ok, so the Granparent's are sad beacause it has been a week with no Bailey pictures!! haha!

So here goes guys!! Here is what my little princess has been doing this week!

She is learning her manners.. she has started to say "NO TANK EW"...(No thank you) so sweet!!!
My sweet little sugar!
She was playing with Mommy and Daddy's computer mouse.. it had a light on the bottom... it was so funny!!

Here she is laying down like she has just started liking to do.. she loves to do this at night time before bed and watch her "toons"... notice she has rara, papi, and PLENTY of bankies!

This sweet lady that works with my mom also named Mrs. Lynne, gave Bailey this Caterpillar... his name is Hermie! He talks when you press his hand. He is a "Christian" Caterpillar. He says, "Hi, my name is Hermie, just a common Caterpillar, but God is not finished with me yet! ---"You know what I do when times get rough... I pray..." How sweet is that!? We took this picture to send to Mrs. Lynne. It was so nice of her to think of Bailey and get this for her!!

After bath time, we (Dave and I) LOVE to get our sugar!!! She is so funny all the time!

Here are just a few pictures of her after her Daddy messed her hair up with the towel!

Look at that Hair!! hahaha.. it is really growing!

People seem to think that she looks sooo much like Dave in these pictures!!

My little "Primped" girl... so girlie!

BATH TIME!!! She loves to take a bath!!!

Well, that is all I have for now. I am at work, and it is SLOW!!
Tomorrow night (Friday night) my wonderful hubby is taking me to Olive Garden!! yummm!! We will celebrate our 2nd Anniversary! I can not believe that it has been 2 years already!! Wow! I Thank God EVERY night for sending me this wonderful man.. I am truly blessed!!!

Goodnight, or morning Everyone! Love you all!!!

It's been a few days........

So.. I am so sorry that it has been a few days since my last post. Been super busy and just not had the time to sit down and think for a little while....

I had to work Tuesday night and slept some yesterday and then had a hair appt. Decided it was time to go a little shorter. It feels sooo much better! I love to have my hair thinned.. it is so thick.. and HOT!!!
I just wanted to share my life verse with you all.. this has been weighing heavy in my heart these past couple days......

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths

We all should just really learn to put everything that comes in our paths in God's hands... I have to remember everyday that He will never give us anything that we could not handle.. how awesome is that to know?!?!?!

Here are some pictures of my sweet baby girl... I was going to just put up some pictures yesterday, but never got around to doing it. So.. here goes!

Tickle tickle... I love to make her smile...

Y'all have a great rest of the day!!

Mucky Monday...

What an ICKY day...

Today is a yucky looking day... not much going on out side. I wish I could get out there and cut the grass, but it is so wet... Maybe tomorrow will look better.. It is so much cooler today though.. in the 70's. Praise God for that.. we needed a break from all that heat...


Yesterday, I decided to make lunch for everyone. We had beef stew, rice, and green beans. I think it turn't out pretty good.

Of course, I used my crock pot!! I started it Saturday night, and it was very tender!!! It was really tasty :)

Here are some sweet pictures from this morning of my sweet little "scooter". Haley stayed with us last night and she has a blow up mattress, so she brought that to sleep on. Bailey thought this was so cool.. she gets to jump on it at Nana's and now it is at her house!!! While Haley was at school , we played on it this morning!!!

"Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD" Psalm 127:3

"He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the LORD!" Psalm 113:9

"Train up a child in the way he should go,And when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

My sweet girl.... I could just eat her up!!!!!!

We had to go out this morning to run a few errands, and so we stopped and got Bailey her favorite!!! She loves McDonald's chicken nuggets, and her favorite is FRY's!!!!!

Well, I am off to go fold some clothes.. I sure wish that my laundry room looked like it did last week at this time.. haha!

Hope you all have a great Monday Night!!!

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have had a good day!! How was yours?! I am so ready for the weekend.. I have missed my hubby so much this week... :(

Bailey has had a good day of playing with her blocks, eating, watching Kailan, and .........

Coloring..... :)
She loves a pen and a piece of paper... "happy face" as she says... that is all in thanks to those women at Sam's... they always draw a smiley face on the top of our receipts... so cute how they remember things...
Deep in concentration......
and then I turn around for ONE second, and hear.." uh oh"... "uh oh".... this is what I find!! haha!



Now, I know that it is HOT as all get out outside, but... I could eat Veggie soup everyday for the rest of my life and be OK with it! :).... maybe that was a little stretch.. haha! But it is my favorite!!!! So I decided to make us some for lunch, my dinner tonight at work, and my lunch tomorrow.. and maybe still have some left!
I LOVE a crock pot... let me tell you! I can throw everything in there and FORGET about it!!



Later on this afternoon, after a nap, we decided to make those yummy looking muffins!!!


Poor baby.. she is mad because she can not figure out how to get it open.. haha!

Now she is examining it.. "want some" she says.. so sweet!

Here she is helping mommy stir the mix.. she is such a big helper, and I can not wait to make LOTS more goodies with her.. I love doing stuff like this with her!!!

I think someone likes the batter.. what do you think????

Oh, and then I take it from her.. she was so mad!!! She did not understand that we had to cook it!!! Can you say someone is developing a "tude"???

man... can you smell them from your house??? I was making Erin so jealous while I was on the phone with her... Well, Erin, I wish I could get one to you somehow!!! I will just have to make some more some other time!

And the final product! MY OH MY!!!!!!!!! these are BETTER than they look! They are so good! You all should really try some!!

I think she likes them and approves... what do you think????

hahaha!!!


that poor muffin never saw it comin'!!! ha!!

CRAMMING IT IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

woooh... that made me "firsty" momma!

YUUUUUMM..... I wish I could share them with all of you!!

Well, Bailey is off to stay with her Grammie tonight, and I am off to work... Parade tomorrow (hopefully minus those icky clowns) and then Nana is coming to get her!! This child is so spoiled!!!

Hope you all have a great Friday night!!

Love ya'll!!
