Win a Toddler Belt! (Super Cute)

Hi there! A friend of my cousin's wife is having a giveaway for these really adorable leather belts that she makes on her blog! You can find the contest HERE . To enter just post a comment on the contest entry! It ends on February 14th! She's giving away 2 girl and 1 boy belt!

From fall colors into Christmas trees! The weather is getting crispy cold here in Pensacola Florida and we're almost ready for Christmas. It's nice to be able to spend Christmas at our own home this year but we're going to miss our family. Usually we spend most of the month of December traveling to Ohio and running between three different cities. It will be nice not to have to worry about who is going to take care of things while we are away and the stress of making everyone happy. We are hoping to have more visitors in the new year!







































I have been using money saving blogs lately and I added their links to my blog today. Swaggrabber is run by Ms. Sheri who is a thrifty lady. She has really made our Christmas a little brighter by helping us save tons of money on toys for the kids. I've also added 4hatsandfrugal who is also a very thrifty young mom (with another one on the way, congrats to you 4hats!). The last link I added is Swagbucks. If you haven't ever tried this site you need to! It's like getting paid to search. No it's not very much but it's nice to have some extra cash just for searching and reading their site!

Have a very Merry Christmas!

My Babies are Growing!

Mommy's little angels! Look how big they're getting! Ok so I got all my Christmas cards sent out except 3, and I'm working on that tomorrow for sure. I "met" my cousins Loreen and Shirleen for the first time last week. It's hard when you have such a big family spread out all over the country to keep up with your cousins. I always envied the kids I went to school with that were able to hang out with their families whenever they wanted. I only had one cousin that was close to my age that lived near by and after his parents split up I didn't get to see him as much. Let me add some more recent pictures of the boys!

OMG I have three kids!

So I haven't updated in a while! Not that anyone reads this but it's still cool to get your thoughts down in writing every now and then. I had my babies on July 2nd (which is my nephew Adam's birthday) and Jordan's is April 2nd (which is my nephew Alex's birthday, both from the same sister) so we had our children on the same days! How strange is that? Also we are 11 years apart and were both born on the 11th. Oh and Alex is 11 years younger than me and Jordan is 11 years younger than him! Whoa...



What's new with me? Well I've been saving lots of money using www.swaggrabber.com (great site check it out!). I went to a private shopping event tonight and I got 5 pairs of underwear, a T-shirt, a tote bag, lotion and a bra for $43. That's a good price for Victoria's Secret! I also got 10 panties for $25 thanks to that website I mentioned a few lines up. We had a really fun night Friday. We went to The Oyster House in downtown Pensacola and all the girls got to drink! We are always the DD's and it gets old but finally the guys let us have a night to relax and have fun. We had a huge party, there was me and Chad, Jason and Gina, DJ and Janette, Adam and Liz, Rachel, Ashlee, Lindsey and Michelle. I had 4 mai tais and it was enough to make me sort of loopy for a good portion of the night, hehe. Anyway, here's another picture of my boys. I love them all so much.

Hey guys

Hey everyone, how goes it? That's ^^^ my husband up there yes he's being a goober but doesn't he look awesome?! He's lost almost 40lbs and I'm so proud of him. I'm doing alright just enjoying my TDY to Denver, Colorado. It snowed yesterday, that was the first time I've seen snow in about 2 years. It was beautiful and freezing all at the same time. I will be happy to go back home tomorrow to Hawaii where I can see my gorgeous husband and beat off his girly adorers with a stick once again. It was nice to see the mainland again, I only wish we had taken a road trip. There's nothing better than hopping in the car and driving for 8-12 hours. Where you get so cramped in the car that it actually hurts when you get out to pump the gas. I miss those days. I also can't wait to go home to Ohio for Christmas. I miss my family and I haven't seen my nieces or nephews for so long I'll be surprised if they remember me. Anyway, I have to pack up my stuff for the flight home tomorrow. Check back for more updates soon friends! *lissa

Hi

Hello there, what's up? My name is Alissa...thought I'd try out this blog thing. Livejournal has gotten kinda dry. It does help keep old friends in touch though and that's why I won't ever let it go :P. Anyway this'll be short just a test one, woohoo!!! I like apples and steak
