Ruby Tuesday - Valentine's Day Boxes

The kids had to make boxes to put their Valentine's Day goodies in from school.
Shelby went with a red paper with hearts and decorated with stickers.
Tyler chose a blue box and decorated with Spiderman. 

I wrapped the boxes for them and placed the letters for their names, but other than that they decorated them all by themselves. I think that they did a very good job. We're all ready for Valentine's Day parties now with the exception of filling out cards for their classmates.

Ruby Tuesday

A crackling fire from last November at my niece's 7th birthday party.  
The kids were gathered 'round the fire roasting marshmallows.  
What fun we had, back in "warmer days".

Ruby Tuesday


I took this photo in Memphis.  I thought that the red trolley would make an awesome shot for Ruby Tuesday.  I had a close up shot and then realized that it was stopped behind a red light, so I moved my focus out to the traffic lights and got two red stop lights, a red trolley car, the red recycle bin to the bottom left of the photo as well as the Orpheum sigh that seems a bit more orange in this photo than I thought it was when I snapped the shot.  To see more RED photos, visit Mary by clicking the graphic below.

Ruby Tuesday - Ride Day

A few weeks ago we took the kids to the county fair on "armband day". We purchased an arm band ($15 each) and were able to ride all of the rides we wanted as many times as we wanted. The kids had a wonderful time and I LOVE to ride the rides, so it's fun for me to have them at an age where they can ride with us. Tyler and I had a fun time riding rides together. Shelby rode with my niece and sister on most of the rides. My little guy loves the big rides. He refused to ride the kiddie rides. He's such a thrill seeker. Even when he first began to walk, he would hang from ceiling fans and candle sconces at the house to get airborne. Okay, well maybe I am exaggerating a little bit, but he did (and still does) LOVE to climb. Unfortunately, his baby sister seems to be following in the same steps as her brother. *sigh* As evident in the photo above, he does love to stick out his tongue. No amount of threatening can break this habit. It seems to just be second nature to him. Must have something to do with the "snakes and snails and puppy dog tails" theory.

Ruby Tuesday



A couple of weekends ago, our town hosted a "Get Down Down Town" Festival. There were lots of vendors selling everything from food: funnel cakes, giant corn dogs, polish sausages, freshly squeezed lemonade, and snow cones to hand made items, such as John Deere tractor replicas made from old metal sewing machines, purses, and much more. There was a rock climbing wall for the kids but most importantly in front of the court house, there was a stage set up where many great acts performed. There was some local talent like Haley Stevens. She's a young country music singer with a lot of talent. She opened up for a country music band that has been around for most of my life, Shenandoah. Back in the day, Brien and I used to go dancing at a local teen dance club. In fact, this is where we met. I remember dancing to great songs like, "If Bubba Can Dance", "Rock My Baby", "Janie Baker's Love Slave", and "Momma Knows", and my all time favorite, "I'll Go Down Lovin' You". What a great band. Listening to them brought back so many great memories. If you would have told me 15 years ago when I was a teenie bopper two-stepping and line dancing to their music that some day I would be sitting on court square with three kids in my lap singing along to their songs I would have told you that you were nuts and I'd most likely be single working one of those boring IT jobs! I am so happy with the way my life has turned out. I can't imagine things any other way. I married my sweet heart and we have three sweet hearts of our own to raise. I only hope that music can be as influential in their lives as it has been in mine.

Ruby Tuesday

This photo was shot on the top floor of the Bass Pro Shop we visited while in Shreveport, Louisiana this weekend. We had the pleasure of doing some shopping over at The Boardwalk. Our first stop was Joe's Crab Shack, where the waiter gave me crabs. (See a few posts below for explanation.) For more Ruby Tuesday photos, click the badge below to visit Mary.

Ruby Tuesday - Fresh Salsa

Fresh Salsa:

Ingredients:
Tomatoes - peeled and diced
Jalapeno Peppers - diced
Garlic - Freshly diced
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper

All ingredients are "to taste". But for good measure you can add one medium pepper for about 15 medium sized tomatoes. One large clove of garlic should do the trick and three teaspoons of olive oil. I usually make it the night before an event because that gives all of the ingredients time to mesh together.

Ruby Tuesday - Youngest Fan

This is my little Emily Grace who is 9.5 months old. Her big sister loves the Jonas Brothers. I recorded their interview with Larry King last week and as we watched the DVR playback, Emily was intrigued by the boys. I thought it was pretty cute watching her. As you can tell, she also has an infatuation with the Wii-motes (remote controls for the Nintendo Wii game). She likes to drag them out and play with them. If you'll notice there are several red things in this photo. What do you spot?!

On a fun note, I won tickets to a concert today by simply Tweeting! How cool is that?! Thanks to @LRFamily for the opportunity. Shelby will love seeing Demi Lovato & David Archuleta! We'll be sure to take lots of pictures and post them here. :) To all of my Arkansas peeps, you should be following them via Twitter so you can win next time! Thanks, again for the opportunity, @LRFamily!

Ruby Tuesday - Princess on Ice


The beautiful red headed Disney Princess, Ariel at a recent Disney on Ice production.  She was beautiful and graceful.  I enjoyed watching her skate as her long red hair flowed behind her.  Unfortunately some of the other skaters were not as graceful as the beautiful princess...
One of the skaters who is supposed to anchor her as she is poised lifted in the air as though she's swimming in the water fell just as they were about to hoist her into the air.  I snapped this photo in hopes of getting Ariel air bound, and got a shot of the poor guy floor bound.  I was lucky enough to catch this shot later on in this show.  
I am so glad that he did not drop her!  Prince Eric was holding her one handed as Sebastian the Lobster dances at his side.  If you've never attended a Disney on Ice production, you're really missing out.  It really is beautiful and fascinating entertainment!  Just make sure to be prepared for the prices...they get you coming in and going out!

Ruby Tuesday


This was the scene at my office yesterday afternoon. While their mommy was catching up on Facebook, Twitter, & Blogging working very hard on important office work, term insurance comparisons and such they were snoozing their little hearts out. I didn't have my camera with me, so I used my cell phone. I am using this for my Ruby Tuesday photo because the chair that is holding the DVD player that put them to sleep is red. There is also red on the head of the turkey decoy Shelby propped up under her Kindergarten nap mat to use for a pillow.

In other news, Emily (who is now 8.5 months old) has finally cut her first tooth. I am not sure which one it was because like her sister and brother before her, she cut two in at the same time. Now we're just waiting for the ear infection that usually follows. I was just getting used to sleeping the whole night through (well, mostly) and now here comes the teething monster. She is also crawling about now pretty well. It is simply amazing to me to see this little baby growing into such a big girl. It seems like only yesterday Tyler was trying to unscrew my belly button with a screwdriver to get his baby sister out...Good times, I tell ya...good times!

Shelby is officially a first grader now. She's been promoted from Kindergarten to the 1st grade. She is out of school for the summer. We've not made any big plans thus far, but we're all excited that we're going to have a visitor in a couple of weeks. My baby sister, Jeannene is coming to spend a couple of weeks with us in June. We can't wait for her to get here. We're looking forward to a fun filled summer.

Easy as Pie Recipe

Here's a recipe that's "easy as pie". Ba-dum! I made two for the Mother's Day celebration at my sister's house on Sunday. The key lime was more of a hit than the pictured strawberry. This recipe is easy and a wonderfully low in fat. You can use any flavors you like, even mix and match. Since I don't have a red Ferrari, I can't use Ferrari parts as my RT post, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to post this recipe:

Ingredients:
* 1 reduced fat graham cracker crust
* 1 (1/16 ounce) package sugar-free lime gelatin
* 1/4 cup boiling water
* 1 (8 ounce) container fat-free whipped topping
* 2 (6 ounce) key lime pie yogurt

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water.
2. Stir in yogurt with wire whisk.
3. Fold in whipped topping with wooden spoon.
4. Spread in crust.
5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
6. Top with fresh fruit (if desired)

Ruby Tuesday - Tyler's Fall From Grace

I've really found myself obsessed with taking pictures since I got my new zoom lens for My Canon Rebel. Today I got a bit creative taking advantage of the beautifully blue sky with a different perspective. As I was shooting the sky, I came across a bumble bee making his way from one flower to another. I got a few shots of him 'till he decided he didn't want me getting too close to him. I'll find a place to put him some time soon. Maybe I'll upload them to Flickr. As for the sky photos, you can come back on Friday to see them. I also got some cute pictures of Tyler moving mud puddles in the driveway. Yup, you heard me right. This creative little fella was filling his metal dump truck with a mud puddle and relocating it. I got some great shots. I'll feature it later on as well. Those puddles should be dried up in the next day or so. We've got a dry forecast all week. Thank goodness. I have the rain packed up in shipping boxes. Where do I need to send it?! Any takers?   The photo I'm featuring today is of my 3 year old son, Tyler who found himself brave enough to cross the monkey bars.   Unfortunately, he was unable to make it to the other side and hubby nor I reached him in time.  He fell face first into the pea gravel below.  He had some battle wounds on his face, but he's tough.  So, he still managed to smile for the camera afterward.

Ruby Tuesday - The Buzz

I put up a hummingbird feeder Saturday. So far I've seen two different hummingbirds stop by for a drink. Since I was preggers last year I didn't put forth the time or energy to put one up, so it may take them a while to come around. I have decided that I could sit for hours out there with my Canon in firing position waiting for the "perfect shot". It's not easy to get a perfect shot of those little devils either. They are quite fast. These are a few of the early shots, hopefully with a little more experience I will be shooting them with a little more ease. If you would like to see more wonderful Ruby Tuesday photography, click the badge below the collage to take you to Ms Mary, our wonderful host. I think you'll like what you see! Now, I'm off to change some light bulbs. Why in the world is it that when one goes out, they all do?! I changed one in the kitchen yesterday and now the other is out. Grrrrr...

Ruby Tuesday

Today's Ruby Tuesday photo is the tricycle that my mom bought Shelby for her first birthday. I don't think that she has ever been on it. She got a battery powered four wheeler on the same birthday, so the little red tricycle played second fiddle. Along came Tyler and he loves this thing! He plays with it all the time. In fact, he loves to just push it around, like he's doing in this photo. So, Shelby's first tricycle was also Tyler's first and he's logged many more miles on it than she has. I wonder what it will be like when Emily gets old enough to ride?

Ruby Tuesday - A Letter To The Postman

Dear Mr Postman,

I received a piece of mail today, three days later than I had expected it. You probably knew that, though didn't you?! I have a sneaky suspicion that you might have kept it in your mail truck over the weekend to entertain yourself. You see, I subscribed to Netflix because I love the convenience of getting online, clicking on the movies I would love to enjoy, and then waiting for you to deliver them to me. I was expecting two movies to arrive in my box last week, instead only one arrived and sat all alone on the tv stand and the other...well, it arrived just a bit late. Mr Postman, I hope that my popcorn of the month arrives next week in a timely manner and unpopped as I like to indulge in popcorn while I enjoy a good movie.

Next time if you would like to take home my mail for the weekend, feel free to grab a bill or hubby's Cabella's Magazine. I won't tell him what happened to it, I promise.

Thank you for your dedication (ya know the rain, sleet, or snow thing),
Your friendly neighborhood Netflix Customer

Ruby Tuesday - Red Slide

RT Headquarters Saturday was my niece's 1st birthday. She celebrated her birthday in style and the kids had a wonderful time playing on this red slide! I got several pictures of them with silly faces coming down the slide. I played with this one a bit to highlight the red. You can also see Tyler's red lip in this photo. He fell out of the camper on Saturday and still has a fat lip three days later! We're so lucky that he only busted his lip and didn't break his neck. It was a very scary moment.

Ruby Tuesday - Red Shirt

This is me. This is my life! I do have a red shirt on in this photo, but you can hardly see. Thank goodness my lap is large enough for all three kiddos. As you can see, Tyler hopped up in my lap to go to sleep. Well, Shelby couldn't let him have me to himself, so she jumped up. Emily began to cry, so she sat with us as well. This is the life, folks. This is how I spend my evenings. It's moments like this that make all of the sleepless nights, dirty laundry, coughs, sneezes, bumps, and bruises worth while! This, my friends is motherhood and I love every minute of it.  To see more Ruby Tuesday photos, click on over to Mary's place.
