TAGGED!

Well, looks like I have been tagged by a friend of mine, Jen, to play in this little online game. Thought it would be fun to do...I know it's been fun reading what other people have said too...so here it goes!


First of all, I am supposed to post pictures of one favorite thing in my house that I love, or something that has a special story, and tell you all about it. But, it looks like Jen did two...and so did other people...so, I will do 2 too! (besides...how can you pick just one? )

1. These are a couple of pictures of my Shaylee box. Some good friends went in together and got this for me and Brandon right after we had to put her down. I cried and cried when I got it in the mail, this was one of my most favorite pictures of her. It says "In loving memory of Shaylee 2001-2007" Inside of it we keep her collar and chains and a very nice letter from the vet clinic (Animal Hospital of Avon...They are the best..if you have a pet..we would definetly recommend them!!! They tried everything they could to save our Shaylee). They donated to the Purdue Vet School in Shaylee's name too. How sweet are they?? anyway...it is like my way to still keep her around if you know what I mean....it sits on my nightstand.




2. Our rocker/glider/swivel chair with ottomon (that also rocks!)
This was one of the bigger purchases Brandon and I bought for Luke. We shopped and shopped for this thing until we finally found one we loved at USA Baby. It was delivered just weeks before Luke decided to make his grand entrance! I love it because both Brandon and I have had lots of special little moments with Luke in it. and even now...at almost 2...Luke still begs to be rocked and held in it! and for that...I LOVE IT. (it is the only real time we get snuggles these days!)
(very old picture! but its all I had on my computer right now)


Now..for the second part..I am supposed to post a picture of all the things I feel are necessities for when I leave the house. As in, the things I keep in my purse....or these days...bag. :)
Here are some of the things I can't live without!

1. My cell phone. This is my lifeline to everybody and everything! and luckily our 2 year plan is up in July so we can get new phones! YES! I sooooo want one that I can organize my life in too!

2. Some kind of snack for Luke. (this kid is always hungry!) (The one in the picture is a Gerber Fruit Strip..he loves those!)

3. A sippy cup filled with a drink for Luke. (this kid is also always thirsty! seriously...he really is all the time. I don't know how he drinks as much as he does!) If I know we are going to be out for a while too...I will usually pack another juice box as well.

4. of course my wallet. This is a Vera Bradley one...I just changed into this one from my other ones b/c it was easier to carry while we were in Florida and going through the airport.

5. Lotion. My hands are always dry. (that is Bath and Body Works, Pink Grapefruit)

6. Hand Sanitizer. I just buy the cheapest kind at walmart...this has become our lifesaver when we are out and about these days now that Luke is everywhere and into everything.

7. chapsick or lipgloss. ALWAYS. I can't go without it or I will have serious withdrawls. its bad...i really have an addiction.

8. Gum. always a must for fresh clean breath! I like Trident Original. But I'm really not to picky.

I usually always have a hair tie around my wrist or thrown in my bag too...this is a must when you have to chase down your one year old at the park. or really any where for that matter...

so that was fun! and whew...I carry a lot these days!

so now I am supposed to tag some of my blogging buddies too....soooo....

I tag, Christin, Krystyn, Andrea, and my sister, Emily. HAVE FUN LADIES! (and don't feel bad if you can't get to this! no big deal! it's just for fun!)
