A lot at once

My gorgeous girls!

I have to take a moment to write about my girls, Ava and Kenendy. They are snuggled down in front of the tv and are being so sweet to each other. They really are good together. Kennedy just gave Ava a kiss and hug, just for being her sister. I hope this last through out their childhood. Ava likes her role as the big sis, she takes pride in telling me what Kennedy wants and/or needs. Kennedy I think understand Ava better than Shane or I and responds to Ava better than to Shane or I. I love my girls, they rock!

I think someone is trying to get some good press going for herself.

The first from the old

Why my husband rocks!
Submitted by Natalie on Mon, 2006-12-11 04:27.
Thanks for checking out my my new website. I won't be using the blog page anymore since Shane worked so hard to make me this site, which I must say is awesome! Eventually I will switch over the previous blogs I made, just so I have them. Give me a few days to get this site really going, but the books will each have their own forum, so that we can discuss them online with people who aren't in town, so tell people you know what book to read so we can get some great discussions. Didn't Shane do a kickbutt job! I worked so hard on this, ( I think he must like me). So thanks to Shane, my awesome ninja husband, you rock!

All I want for Christmas...

I am on a quest for a Kitchen aid Standing Mixer. Let me restate that, a bargain price Kitchen aid. I don't want to pay $299.00, I don't even want to pay $200.00 I want to pay less! So I am now on the E-bay wagon and I keep getting kicked off! I realize that I need to quit getting on the website or I am gonna develop an addiction, I am headed for "My name is Natalie and I am an e-bay addict". I did win an auction one time, many years ago. I thought it would be easy but noooooooo. This is why it is not a good idea to have the Internet, to easy to get addicted to crap. Then again I have posted two blog in the last 24 hours. UGGGH "My name is Natalie and I am a blog addict" I think I need to get a cup of coffee, (another wonderful addiction) and get myself to cleaning my home. Anyway let me get back to my topic, my quest for a kitchen aid. Buying a new one is a big decision, almost like buying a new car. You have to pick the color and that is not an easy decision if you think about it. Do you want a new fad color? Remember when teal was cool, I do! I wore teal for a prom dress!lol Now there are so many colors, like blue and red and orange and sliver, etc... But what about in 5 years when your kitchen doesn't match the pink kitchen aid that you picked, what then? Do you get a fancy decal, like the flame decal? (I highly suggest you not buy a flame decal for a pink kitchen aid). My answer is this, pick the brown kitchen aid. Brown is cool! Brown goes with most kitchens, it matches stuff you find in the kitchen like brown sugar, chocolate pudding, and most kinds of meant when it is cooked. Brown also is the new pink, or at least it used to be, (I am not good at what is what). Brown also will go with the flame decal, which your husband will think is cool and then maybe he will want to cook more. So I guess i have decided that Brown rocks! E-bay bites! I rock! Teal used to rock! And most important pink and flames don't belong together. Also we learn that Natalie get obsessed with most anything! ( Especially with being awesome)

Christmas Obession

Ever watch the challenges on the Food Network? I am fascinated by that show, so much that I am online doing Gingerbread House research so that I can build a kick ass gingerbread house! For those who don't watch the show they have people compete to build stuff out of edible ingredients. Sometimes the contestants are professional, mainly pastry chefs, but many times the contestants are regular people who like to build with food. For example one challenge was the wedding cake challenge, they object was to make a wedding cake that is representative of a wedding dress. Some cake were ok, nice looking but not creative. Others were amazing, how out of the box that people think. Anyway I am fixated on the Gingerbread challenge. The one I watch was so cool! I have a cousin who makes Gingerbread houses every year and I always wanted to do one with my parents but that never happened. April had to do one for school and didn't like it. I am not dissuade, I am convinced that I can. So if the next time you see me and there is a goop of white junk in my head, and maybe a gingerbread house or a few candies stuck on myself just look the other way.

And now for Christmas...........

Hello all!
Hope you enjoyed your thanksgiving! We had a good time in Grants with our family, hopefully you all had a good time as well. I have to say that I was very upset that A Christmas Story wasn't on, but I made it through the day! Yesterday I put up our tree, and Kennedy has only eaten one glass ornament, and has only thrown away one mini house!!!lol It will be interesting to see how she reacts to presents under the tree. Ava decorated her mini tree, and is closer to liking Santa! Also if you listen to 99.5 it's x-mas music 24/7. I love it, Shane not so much.lol Oh well, it only comes once a year!

Have a Merry Christmas Month

Natalie
(Did you know that Natalie mean "Christmas Child", that means I get more presents!!!)

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello All!
I hope you all have a great time this thanksgiving! Don't forget to give thanks that you have such a great friend like Natalie, and have been so fortunate to be in such an awesome book club! Be careful if you are traveling, and if you are going out of state then remember to bring back some kind of tourist crap for the rest of us to look at and enjoy, like state key chains or spoons. Or maybe some pet rocks or something! As for me and my family we are making our trek to Grants, home of the Pirates. (Ninjas are better, ((per Shane)) I am looking forward to spending time with family, and of course to the TBS marathon of A CHRISTMAS STORY! It rocks!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Natalie
