{5} They say love is in the little things. What is a little thing someone does to show you love?

Go on and check out my answers, then link up with your own. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

{1} What would you do with an extra $1000 a month?

Well the first thing that comes to mind is TARGET! I could drop a thousand bones there easily. I would love nothing more than to just go on massive shopping sprees once a month. Glorious!! But then my more sensible side comes into play and then it makes me want to invest into something more practical like a refrigerator stocked full of delicious ice cold Red Bull our children's savings, or paying off debt. Boo...where's the fun in that?

{2} What category of blogger do you think you best fall under?

If I had to pick one...which I can't because that would be too easy...I would have to go with either "Mommy blogger" or "Humorous blogger". So I think that would make me a "Mommorous" blogger. Yup. I'm gonna stick with that.

{3} What is your go to solution when you are having a bad hair day?

Yikes...have you seem my hair on a bad hair? If not, take a peek.

{In.friggin.tense. and so unflattering.}

There's not much I can do for that except maybe take a pair of clippers and pull a Brit-Brit on it...or take some garden shears to it...or just stay home :)

{4} If you were a Crayon, what color would you be?

Hands down, I would be cerulean. It's amazing!! It's the perfect blue. Seriously. It has been my favorite color of Crayon as long as I can remember. It just makes me feel happy. I can't explain it any better than that.

{5} They say love is in the little things. What is a little thing someone does to show you love?

Ohhh this is a good one. My hubs is all about the little things. And he's so good at it! One of my favorite things that he does is every night, when we settle down on the couch after the kids are in bed, he always brings me a drink and a snack. I don't even have to ask. Its a simple little act of love that lets me know that he's thinking of me and my needs. I love that he thinks of me before he's even had time to rest! Now that's a well trainedgood man right there.

So there ya have it folks! My first official We Want To Know Wednesday Q&A. Now its YOUR turn! Go on and answer the Qs and make sure you come back and link up! And feel free to throw in a Happy Birthday to ME in there :) Booya!

Class of 2021!!! Watch out!!!

In the back of every single one of my high school year books, there is a section for families to dedicate a page to their beloved graduating senior....you know the pages I'm talking about. The ones with super embarrassing pictures, a poem written by a doting mom, a nakey baby pic showing off their little bum, and of course a picture of their favorite family pet.

Let me just tell you that I CAN NOT WAIT to do one of these pages!!! I've started a collection of photos that will embarrass the ever living crap out of my kids and I'm gonna love every minute of it! In fact, my brother took one this weekend that I think is going to be a strong contender for Mason's Class of 2021 yearbook! Take a peek....

HOLY AWESOMENESS BATMAN!!!!!

I friggin LOVE this picture!! Super funny, but not TOO embarrassing...the perfect mix. I can't help but laugh and want to pinch his little cheeks every time I see this picture!

On that note, have a GREAT day amigos. Come back tomorrow (ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!!) for a super exciting announcement!!! And no....I'm not pregnant. ;)

Dun dun duuuunnnn!!

Who wants to know??? You do!

Yo yo yo amigos! I thought I'd switch things up a little bit and participate in a linky today. It works out perfect since I'm too lazy to think of anything on my own, and I just know you're on the edge of your seat waiting to know more about me. You lucky beasts. So I present to you...courtesy of the one and only Mamarazzi...

We want to know!

1. Which activities make you lose track of time?

Doing intensive online research...and by research I mean reading CELEBRITY GOSSIP! I love a good train wreck! And watching episodes of Arrested Development. I could seriously watch it all day long. In fact, I think I will.

2. Is there such a thing as perfect?

Umm...have we met? It's part of the requirements to be in this family. My offspring are my definition of perfect. I see perfection in their smiles, their belly laughs, their shining eyes, and their dimpled cheeks. But then again I also see perfection in an iced cold Red Bull...sooo...I may not be that easy to impress.

3. When do you feel most like yourself?

I feel most like myself when I'm in my comfy clothes snuggled up on the couch while my little hooligans wrestle on the floor, Little Miss Presley doing gymnastics on the couch, the pups curled up at my feet, and my Hubs with the TV turned on way too loud to try and hear over the kids war cries. It's like the stars are in alignment and I can literally just let my hair down. Those moments are the best part of my day. They're loud and hectic and someone always ends up bleeding. And I LOVE it. The craziness, not the blood.

4. Describe your life in a 6 word sentence.

"Wait until your Dad gets home!"

5. Share one of your most beloved childhood memories.

Oh man...this is a tough one. My childhood was, well, different. And to top it off we were a military family who was always on the move. One of my favorite memories is after my parents divorced. I was about 5 years old and I lived with my mom in a tiny apartment in the ghetto, literally a country away from my dad and brothers. It was a hard time, but she always had a way of making the most of it. Looking back I realize how tough this must have been on her, yet she always did her best to give me great experiences. Like this one...We used to lay on the floor of our barren apartment, huddled around our tape player (one of our few possessions) and sing at the top of our lungs to the Beach Boys song "Kokomo". We'd sing it for what seemed like hours. Just rewinding and playing again. It was nothing extravagant, it was nothing crazy, it was just a tender moment between mother and daughter that money could never buy.

Holy crap. Stop making me emotional before I start crying the ugly cry and bust out the old cassette player!

I need to go call my mom now!


Have a wonderful Thursday my friends.....I'd better go medicate tend to my children of the corn before they start revolting!

Keep it gangster!

Ode to my 7-11 nachos...

Allergies shmallergies...
I need you in my life.
You lift me up when I am down
And take away my strife.

Your cheesy weezy goodness
stacks the pounds upon my thighs.
But I don't care about all that,
You're my golden crunchy prize!


{A little slice of heaven in my mouth. Don't judge. Partake!}

Screw the indigestion
I'll savor every bite.
I'm sure my Hubs will curse your name
As I toot into the night.

Add some jalapenos
And I'm happy as can be.
But if you need me check the loo.
Because of you, that's where I'll be.


Happy Wednesday Amigos!

Now pass the tums...and the toilet paper.

Bringing out the big guns...

It was date night at the Casa de Cline, so we did what any other loving couple would do.... packed up the guns and ammo and headed to the shooting range. Romantic, isn't it? Because nothing says 'I love you' like firing off a couple rounds. You can keep your candlelit dinners, I'll take the gun powder and lead any day!

I like to think of it as our version of couples therapy. If we both make it back alive, it's a sign that our marriage is still in good shape. Plus its always good to put a little fear in Jordan and let him know what I'm capable of, in case he ever gets any "ideas". And by "ideas" I mean "home-wrecking hussies". Forget divorce, I'm heading straight to the gun safe. But luckily for us we're MADLY in love....rawr...

{Gun control means using BOTH hands...word.}

{Right on target! And by target I mean NUTS.}

We had a blast (haha! get it??..blast!) together and it was awesome to spend a little quality time with my hunka hunka burning love of a husband. We even finished off our date by renewing our NRA memberships and window shopping at Sportsman's Warehouse. Kidding folks. Kidding. And seeing as how we both made it home, it seems that we're doing something right. Hooray for guns! Oh, and date nights. But mainly guns!

Happy Monday Amigos!!

ps- 9 more days til my birthday! Not that I'm counting or anything....

Party in the USA...

I had high hopes for the 4th of July, and luckily for us it did not disappoint! The gang was all in tow for a killer bbq and the entire day was a total blast. Hours in the sun, way too much food, and tons of love for the Red, White, and Blue! And tons of love for the food...mmm....the food. Nothing says I'm American like shoving my face with all the chips I can handle!

In fact, we were so busy having fun that I kind of lagged on the picture taking. But here's a sneak peek at our awesome 4th of July...

{Of course she HAD to have her patriotic ensemble...or 2. Don't judge.}

{Presley's BFFs were ready to shake their groove thangs!}

{Mason playing with fire....always a scary thought! At least its pretty.}

{Taking a break to throw out the vibe and chat up the ladies...}

{Ok, I LOVE this picture. Boogie is so sparkly!}

{My sexy man-beast playing with fire...and holding a lit sparkler in his mouth. What a man.}

{Me and my Little Miss...just wanna kiss her face!}

{Snuggle time and snacks with Papa! WOO!}

Ahh...good times my friends. Maybe a little too good. My stomach is still recovering...blahhh. Well folks, its nap time for this girl. Yes, I'm 27 (28 in 13 days!!! WOO! but who's counting...) and I still take naps with the kids...don't be jealous of the fabulous life I lead. I might even drool a little. It's the life of luxury...

Happy Thursday Amigos!

Every heart beats true for the Red, White, and Blue+++

I love the 4th of July.

I love everything is represents. I love the patriotism. I love the sense of unity. I love the traditions. I love dressing my kids in adorable patriotic outfits (yeah, I'm that mom)....I LOVE IT! I can't wait to celebrate today!! Bust out the BBQ and bring on the fireworks, we're ready to rock!




Have an AMAZING day amigos! And a big THANK YOU to all of those who serve our country!! We love you!!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!
