The Xboxer, the Hoarder and the Puppy photo shoot!


 Ok, nobody freak out.. I know, its unheard of that I would put up a blog two days in a row, I may have caught a blog flu or something. heehee.

Anyway, I took some pictures of the kids' rooms, cause I am slowly but surely gonna start gettin it together. Now this probably won't happen tomorrow, but it WILL happen!

Jacks room shouldn't be a problem, he keeps things in the right places and likes to keep his room clean.
Jacks bed, and the couch Aunie and Uncle Jer gave him. On the couch
you will notice his xbox remote and headphones.

In the corner is his desk with his trophies, and fun stuff.
In the right corner, you will see my yoga ball... He sits
on this while playing Xbox.. Is that XYoga?
 

The bottom of the picture (Next to Ms.Dolly) is his coffee table, that
Uncle Allen gave him, I plan to stain that, and maybe the book shelf
Jonny built. 

 Now, Jacie on the other hand.. oh brother that girl! I'm a little concerned I will have to call the show Horders!! Everything is "special", or a "treasure".. seriously EVERYTHING! The other day, while we were walking outside she picked up a leaf, and said "Can I start a leaf collection?" I'm sure you know my answer to that question.
Sorry the shadows made it dark, this is her bed..
 
You see the red bin? Thats where her outrageous amount
of stuffed animals are, under that are a bin of toys, and
behind all of that it continues to more toys and animals..
 
I mean look at all this STUFF!! She has little space on her desk to
do homework on..
 
 
Can you call a 7 year old eccentric?

 
I will try and keep you updated on the results. This should be interesting!
 
Ok, now I will leave you with some more pictures of my pretty little babies..
 
The princess is resting..

Um, not very lady like, but she looks pretty comfy.

Oh so sorry Ms. Dolly for wakin' ya up.
 

 
How is it, that both of my dogs just sit and stare at me, but as soon as I get the camera out they shy away! Betty stop being modest, you gorgeous creature you!!!!

thats it!

work it!

Ok, so we're done? ... got it.

School, Work, and PINTEREST!!

So things have been pretty busy around the Soseman house hold. We've been a movin' and a shakin'! No, no, not really exciting things, just life stuff.

Lets see, Jonny is busy as usual at the ol' job, but they moved the office from Ontario, to Orange County. He's added some miles to his drive which is a bummer, but the office is brand new, and a lot better.

The kids started school!


Jack is now officially a middle schooler.. yep a sixth grader.



 Well, you'd think he was a senior in High School the way he struts around. He has six classes and seems to like his teachers. Right now Science and History are his favorite subjects. We shall see how he feels at the end of the year. He has also started a new season of Basketball, and he is havin' a "ball" doin' that. hee,hee. He is always fun to watch!

Jacie is now a 3rd grader, and like a typical girl is more interested in her friends, and though she does so great on her school work she finds it

boring. 

Well, I can't really blame her, I mean who gets excited about school work? Anyway she is her happy go lucky self and takes on everything with giggles and smiles! She's pretty amazing.

As for me, I'm still scrubin', washin', foldin', and cookin'! Unfortunately, with summer over, I am now havin' to get up early and drive more, to school, and practices ((ugh)). But, I'm gettin back into the swing of things. Well, also with my new addiction to Pinterest I have been busy with all of my new ideas!! Recipes, a new shelf in the laundry room (thanks Jonny!), 

Jonny installed the shelf above the washer and dryer..


Later that night I took a warmer picture for a better effect.. I'm dramatic like that..
staining our dresser,
I still have another coat, but its started..
infinity scarves, wreaths, oh the list goes on and on. My poor husband hears about all of my Pinterest ideas. I may need a Pinterst intervention... or maybe not. I mean lets face it, I am gettin' some pretty great idea's! Just the fact that I have more idea's for being organized has helped, because lets face it, my memory is shot and
Writing on my mirror, cause I know I will see it, and remember!

 I am remembering things more, and this gives me time to do more... like checking Pinterest!

Yesterday Jacie and I went in her room and organized her clothes. My goodness that took a little time.

before we started
Ok Jace, you start over there..

Then she thought it was time to rest..

GET TO WORK!

Dolly thought she could help.. no thanks girl friend..
 

 We are planning on building some shelves in her closet, but until then she is living out of her bins.

This is Betty helping.. thanks for nothin' Betty..

 
WHEW! We did it!


If I remember I will post her room when it is all finished. I think I said that before, but our plans for her room keep changing! Anyway, thats whats been going on. Life, just keeps us busy!
