Shower Time

I know some mommies that shower with their kiddos and others who almost always shower with their spouses. For me I prefer neither. Shower time for me is a scared time. Not in the prayer way but in the I need a break from everything and recharge kind of way. 

I love taking a really hot shower and just relaxing and renewing my energy. I love taking a break from my kids (well at least one, can't really take a break from growing Pilot although he does settle down when I shower) and just enjoying the peace and quiet the bathroom shower brings. 

There are many times where my shower and get ready time only lasts as long as a movie can hold Rex's attention and then there are other times like this evening that I jump in the shower after everyone else has gone to bed and I can just enjoy the quiet for as long as the hot water lasts. 

I really don't know mommies that enjoy shower time the way that I do and I often wonder if I'm the only one. I know that M would love more shower time with me and Rex loves taking showers with one of us but I just don't enjoy it. Whenever I have to share shower time I feel like my space is being invaded and I avoid it unless time or space requires that I share. I have often wondered how it would feel to enjoy sharing a shower since it is so peaceful to me and maybe that's how all these other mommies feel. I guess for me it will always be my place to escape, even if it is only for a few minutes. To recharge from a long day or to gain energy and peace before a crazy one. All I know is that I enjoy my shower time alone!

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the  Three Wise Men Gifts  but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house? Bass Pro Shop Winter Wonderland to visit Santa Three wise men gifts  One Santa gift plus the stocking Baking cookies at Granny & Great Popa's house Baking cookies at Grandma & Popa's house with cousins & then heading to the local fire department & police station to share with the men & women that keep us safe throug...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...
