Monday Memories

Today i went with my baby on her Kindergarten Tour!
Here is Miss Chloie.

Where has my baby gone? I can't believe she is 5 and this fall will be going to Kindergarten. The tour was great. We go to see alot of the school. She was excited to go but nervous when we go there. She held on to me and didn't want me to leave her side. I'm so proud of the little girl she has become. I kept reassuring her that she would have fun this fall and that she will be ok. Now i just need to reassure and tell myself I'm going to be ok when she goes that first day. I thought letting go the first day of preschool was rough. I think this is going to be rougher! But like i said we are so proud of her and can't wait to start this new journey of school with her!


For those of you Barbie Lovers/ Collectors did you know today is Barbie's Birthday? I'm posting this with Chloie's post because we stared a tradition the year she was born. Santa brings her a Holiday Barbie every year and she has them still in the boxes.
So Happy Birthday Barbie!

Almost back

Well my blog is almost back to normal. Took me forever to get the three columns lined up correctly. Now just need to tweak my header to get it centered but haven't figured that out yet. So if you have any ideas on how to do that let me know please. I found some of my missing links not all but some. I hope to get those back up today or tomorrow.

Under Construction

Had a blogging oops and a whole bunch of my links got deleted. So i am working on a blogging redo and trying to find some of my links. Not sure if i will be able to find all of them. If you have some you know i had please forward them to me! Thanks and stay tuned for the blog makeover!

A quick note

Things have been crazy around here. Cory has been out of town on storm work since 1/27. I am so ready for him to be home. Since then i have had Chloie's 5th birthday party (will bog about and post pics of it tomorrow), ordered and received Claire's furniture and bedding! (will also blog about that soon)

So that has been what is going on in the midst of having contractions and monitoring them! I hope to blog tomorrow about Chloie's party and post pics. Then I'll take pics of the nursery!

Many
of you may (or may not) of heard about the new CPSIA that has been
passed and is "said" to be going into affect on February 10th 2009.

I keep stressing MAY. There is so much mixed messages about this
entire law it is confusing! So many are saying they are shutting down
their stores because of this new law because they will not be able to
afford all of the testing on their products to be compliant


Whether this law will end up being as everyone fears or not I feel
this issue needs your VOTE on change.org!!! You can find where to
vote on our website link above, please do so, it is important one way
or the other to ensure our favorite handmade sites do not go down!

Let's all pray together this law is either not as people are saying
OR they can amend this law to keep the small business owners and
crafters in mind and survive!

Again, I please ask that you ALL vote.

Also please forward this email with the link to our Save Hand Made
page above to everyone you know!!! Your friends, family, online
groups, message boards, yahoo and google groups...EVERYWHERE!!!!

We must fight to have this not so thought out law amended!

Thank you!

Baby, Baby, Baby

Updates

Since it has been forever since i blogged i guess my first blog back will be a bunch of updates. My goal is to blog about what is going in the Chesser's life and some interesting finds that i happen across!

Now for the updates. I blogged last night that i am pregnant and recently found out we are expecting another princess. We are so thrilled and i have been keeping a pregnancy blog over at Claire Madison . Head on over and check it out!

My Princess Chloie is turning 5 in 2 days! I can't believe it. I'm about to have a 5yr old. I look at her and wonder where has my baby gone and am amazed at the wonderful, smart and beautiful little girl she has become.

It has been just the 3 of us for 5yrs and now we are going to be a team of 4. It excites me ans scares me. I have been blessed to be a SAHM for 5yrs and have devoted my time and love to Chloie. I would love to hear from other moms how to balance 2 children. For the longest we thought Chloie was going ot be an only child and finally come to terms with that. Well God had another plan and is blessing us with Claire. I don't know how to explain it but i'm scared. I ahve just had Chloie to devote my attention to and take care of. How do i split up the time? I don't want her to feel left out. Because i remember how exciting it was to have a newborn and hold them and love on them. You all probably think i'm crazy. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

I guess that is it for today. Come back tomorrow i already have planned what i will be blogging about!

I'm Alive!!

It has been way to long since I blogged on here. A sweet friend of mine sent me a comment that inspired me to start blogging again! Thanks Viv!

So tonight the blog got a new background and header. Tomorrow i will resume blogging.
Until then a small update until tomorrow!

Wondering what's been going on? I found i'm pregnant & having another princess! Planning Princess Chloie's 5th Birthday!

Snow in Texas!!

Last night we had a wonderful surprise and Chloie received one of her many Christmas Wishes! Snow! Yes that is right even in Houston,TX it sometimes snow. Who would have ever thought we would have a major hurricane and a beautiful snow fall in the same year! Here are some pics i snapped of last night!

2 more days!

Wow only 2 more days till Thanksgiving. We are having Thanksgiving here at our house and a few family members are coming over to share Thanksgiving Dinner with us. I can't wait Thanksgiving and Christmas are 2 of my favorite holidays. We usually eat our dinner and watch football. The next day we will start decorating for Christmas.

Too much to do too little time!

Do you ever feel you have to much to do and have very little time to do it in? That is how i feel today.I have 101 things to do but can't get motivated to do one except blog. LOL! I started another blog to Keep friends & family updated w/the pregnancy. Now i need to get Chloie's started and keep it updated.

I love that the holidays are right around the corner. I love the Christmas Holiday! But i need to go Christmas shopping. I am drawing a blank on what to get Miss Chloie. Anyone have any ideas?

It's thursday so that means it's Greys Day!

I'm back!

Well it's been way too long since I've been on here. Much has happened. First off the reason for the absence is due to Hurricane Ike and my computer getting a yucky virus just before the hurricane and the computer shop was way behind getting to everything. But now i have the computer back and I'm trying to get caught up on everything!

Now for some exciting news. I'm pregnant with #2. I'm 11wks and 3 days i believe so four more days and I'll be out of the first trimester. I'm still nervous and can't wait to get back to the Dr in a few weeks to see the baby and hopefully hear the heart beat. I think once i get this Dr appt over with and i get the everything is looking good from the Dr i will fill much better and alot more relaxed. I'm just cautious and nervous from the miscarriage earlier this year. So please keep baby and me in your prayers!

Here is a pic of the ultrasound.

More Promos

Grey's Anatomy Season 5

OK if i haven't told you before i am a Grey's Anatomy Fan. Many friends and family members might say I'm obsessed. So you might say I'm just a tad over excited about the new season starting in 3wks! Last season during the season finale many fans waited for the Merdith Derrick Reunion.



It left us wondering if Derrick was going to end up in an accident while on his way to break up with Rose.

Will Erica and Callie be "an item" next season?

Lexie and George a couple?

Izzie and Alex, the Chief and wife, Bailey & her husband are back together now are they staying together?


So now Season 5 is starting in 3wks and we have gotten some promos but it's old scenes. A new Promo was release i believe Monday. But i just caught it today. Boy did i about fall out of my chair!

Here is the episode if you haven't seen it!


So there has been many discussions because Grey's Writers promised that Derrick wouldn't be in an accident and Rose wouldn't announce she is pregnant. So does that mean this is all a dream. I hear that the Season 5 first Episode is titled Dream a Little Dream of Me. Hopefully that is a great explanation for the new promo.

Stay tuned i will be blogging about Grey's when i get a chance and would love to hear form other Grey's Fans!
