Hello everyone! I missed you all. I had a nice and quick summer and I hope you all enjoyed yours as well. Below I will attach my Summer 2014 Picasa album (please be patient for all the uploads. The app is stupid and slow) for all of you to see what me and Gabby have been up to all summer. We've been to the zoo, to Shreveport for the 4th of July, celebrated my dad's 41st birthday, Went swimming way too much and so much more.  Now I am done with my blogging break and now its time to get busy! :D Summer 2014 Album Now as I'm sure we are all aware of now, it's only FOUR MORE MONTHS OF 2014! It sounds so scary when I typed that. I've definitely noticed that the older I get, the quicker time flies. And when you have a child it makes things go by even faster (my baby is almost 2 years old!). Over the summer I have picked up some new addictions. Haha. One of them is Pinterest. Oh how I LOVE Pinterest. I'm not really a DIY kind of person bu...

Happy Father's Day!  I hope everyone enjoyed spending the day with the fabulous men in their life. Baby daddies, daddies, grandpas, mommies, etc. Thank God for all of them. I'm pretty sure you are wondering from my last post what I got my dads in my life. My biological dad: I feel kind of bad but not too much. I didn't even send a txt message. =/ I'll catch him on the next holiday. The guy who raised me (My daddy): Me and Gabby got him a card of course (I love hallmark cards) and he got a dinner from his favorite restaurant, Texas Roadhouse. I love my dad! My baby daddy (Claude/ Gabby's Daddy): Gabriella got one of those handprint cards and had so much fun with that. He loved it! I didn't have enough to give him his gift right away but I told him I would give it to him before he leaves to New York next week. ;) I feel so much better right now, (I'm typing on the desktop computer again.) Feels like old times. *sigh* Which was not that long ago of ...

Its so sad that Fathers don't get the most lavish gifts and pomp and circumstance for Father's Day like mothers do on Mother's Day. I really think it should be equal (if they deserve it of course).  This year I want to give my dad and baby daddy thinks they actually want and need. My dad has done alot for me not only in the last year but since he married my mom and became a true father to me. So I finally can give him a really great gift.  Claud has been a great daddy to Gabriella of course. So I am also gonna give him something good too.  Not gonna reveal what I'm getting them! I'll post it later :)  Time to go shopping!!! ~Kortney 

Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!  This year was my second Mother's Day and I did absolutely nothing lol. *Kanye shrug* Oh well. I enjoyed being lazy today.  My gift from my mommy and Gabby was a bad ass pair of wedges!  Now the gift I got my mommy was pretty bad ass too. I got her the necessary basics of course; the cards from myself and her granddaughter. I let Gabby scribble on her card so it could be like her signature. But the main present was from Victoria's Secret. I got her a matching bra and panty set from the Body by Victoria collection and as an added bonus at check out, I got a free angel necklace for spending over $75. Woohoo! She of course loved all her gifts.  Well thats it. Lol I seriously did nothing today. Haha. But I enjoyed it.  Happy Mother's Day!  ~Kortney

Of course, getting her off the passie is way harder than I thought. Shes definitely    not using it as much anymore. But she sometimes cannot sleep without it. Oh well. Its just gonna have to be like that until shes 18 months old. So one more month!  But as far as her sleep schedule goes, its now on "Toddler Time". Her new bedtime is 8pm/8:30pm.  Our routine is simple of course and similar to her baby sleep schedule.  First I give her a bath. I like to keep bath time short and sweet. Dump all the toys in the tub, add bubbles then add Gabby. I immediately wash her, then wash her hair if needed, and then shes out. Shes still too young in my opinion for actual bath toys. After her bath, we go to the room to dry off, lotion up then put her pj's on. All while we do that, the lights are off and I only have the lamp and night light on so she knows its time to quiet down. Now after the last step, either one or two things happen depending on her energy.  1. I let he...

Last year was my first Mother's Day and I think that it was just all so new to me, that I kinda didn't know what to do. Sit back and wait for the gifts or still give to other mommies...well of course due to my loving personality i'm definitely giving back because last year just didn't feel right to me. All I want this year is a nice dinner. :)  But for my own mommy, I want to give her something useful and heartfelt. For something heartfelt, of course a card with a handwritten message in it will do for that. Something useful....hmmmm. Lol.  Claude's mom, Mrs. Karen, had a birthday yesterday and I wanted to kind of give her the same thing. Something I know shes going to use. So I got her a sleep shirt from Victoria's Secret. :) Since I worked there, I know that they have everything there and its all good quality.  But, I don't want to give my mom pj's. Shes like me...we don't wear any. Lol ;) ;P  So I'm debating whether or not to give her a nice br...

Okay so this past Easter I had a wake up call. I told myself that this year I'm going full force to pursuing my dreams. Well....If you wanna make God laugh, tell him your plans.  He definitely woke me up and opened my eyes to some things. But the two things he definitely made clear to me were, 1. Seek Him first before you do ANYTHING. Because without God, it will fail. And 2. What he says goes. Do what he says or else. Haha. I don't mean to scare you guys or anything but its the truth. So after a week of thinking and praying and asking him to show me what it is He wants me to do, I've had a change in plans... (Ugh i'd never thought i'd say this, but) I'm going back to school. I'm going for secondary education to become a high school history teacher.  Why high school? I get along with teenagers. (I might do Jr High but more then likely I'm gonna do High School) Why history? I love it and I know alot about it. (I'm not good at math so....yea) Why teach...
