Snow Snow Everywhere!

Here is my husbands Explorer Yesterday 2/6/10 Can you believe that? Now we live in southern NJ not Alaska...Okay I know that's being a little dramatic but this was finally a snow like from when we were kids! Jayce and I were just saying how we couldn't believe how much snow we ended up getting! We were stuck in the house which was just Divine! The kids just played and played so nice together we watched a couple of movies and ended up just totally enjoying ourselves! I actually got a chance to go through some of little Miss Meya's cloths...I just can't believe how much she has grown and she is only 7 weeks old! But I should have suspect it since her older Sister and brother grew like weeds also! What can I say I just love the chubby babies!!! Here is another picture of this snow, this is our outside little fire pit we use during the summer right outside our bay window! I thought it was a neat picture to show how much we ended up getting!! This weekend was not a complete bust though..It has been so SO nice to just be able to spend time as a family........I did get a few things done so that was nice like laundry but other than that I have just been keeping myself busy by playing, Nursing, Changing dipaers, Nursing, and making some fun foods! It gave me a great excuse to try some new fun recipes! THey went over big too!! Nothing new tonight we had our favorites BBQ chicken Pizza and I made one 1/2 white for mommy and 1/2 plain/pepperoni for the kids! Jayson just LOVES my BBQ chicken pizza so I was excited to make it yet again for him...I use this great recipe athttp://www.ourbestbites.com/2008/04/breadsticks.html for Pizza dough that Never fails and I dont' even have to break out the bread machine this is all done in my Kitchen Aid Mixer that just stays on my counter so it's nice and accessible!

It's so easy to work with also! I am 1/2 Italian but I sure do NOT know how to do a pizza without my rolling pin !! For me it's the easiest and fastest way to do it! These were sooo Good!!

Now back to the snow ! Can you tell I have ADD? I seriously do and I believe it shows so often on this blog, Thanks for hanging in there with me! Here is little man He fell down in the snow and just called for me, and then lit up when He saw me and said "Mommy I make snow angle for you" Bless his little heart that little man of mine surely puts the biggest smile on our faces! All of our kids do but this little boy of ours surely has a special place in my heart....You know what they said Boys and their Momma's...Madyson had a BLAST out there, she ended up staying out way Longer than Bryce did, I was in the house with Meya and the kids were "helping" Daddy shovel .....




Here's our Dodge Mini Van all stuffed in the snow, then right outside our front door, Then Lastly my sweet girl Mady just LOVING the snow! She's just like her Daddy and loves the cold!! She doesn't like to be hot at all!!! Hope you all are enjoying your weekend as well! We just got word that it's a Snow Day for Mady girl so the fun continues!!

LoL As a hairdresser turned stay at home Momma and x-Mary Kay Representative I must tell you I have feel off the ban wagon as far as products are concerned! I am so e0mbarrassed to say this but it's true! But there are a few things I just can't live without!
One of my most favorite is :

Time Wise by Mary Kay! LOVE These products!!!

Another product I just CAN'T live without is my Mary Kay Foundation and man do I need a new one!!! Here is a picture of whats in my make up bag Now Ladies I am well aware that it is soooo not good to mix bare Minerals with with anything let alone Foundation but Ladies I needed it if just under neath my eyes, but After 3 kids This Momma needs a little more help in the Mornings Now Ha!!! I just Love my Ulta (it's a beauty store here do you all have them too??) I just love their Lip Liner in Mocha with my Mac Lipstick or any lip gloss LOL or chapstick I know pathetic right but it's the truth! and I know everyone will laugh but i just love the Bonne Bell Shimmer Bronzer now I have tried a million or what seems like and this is the only one who is always constant for me Ha!!
Here is my make up bag and then my I can't live WITHOUT go to products for my hair My hair is wavy and thick so it's a must have is either one of the these depending on the morning LOL and I just LOVE that pantene Wax I have used every "professional" one and this one is my favorite!!!

Lastly here is my Blow dryer I used to have a chi and then a few years ago it died and I couldn't justify spending $100 on a blow dryer when I just use it for myself even though my husband told me go ahead! But I felt guilty but this Blow dryer is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!! To me I would by it over and over again!!!
I didnt' take a picture of my straighter but that is a must in my routine as well!! On a side note I do LOVE my bare minerals but I also do want to try Mary Kay's mineral powder and see what that's life also! Well ladies I hope you enjoyed my products Please leave me a comment and let me know!!

Simple Pleasures

Good Morning everyone! Over at Kellyskornerblog.com she recently posted a post titled Simple Pleasures! What a great idea for a post!! Sometimes the simplest pleasures in life are some of God's greatest gifts to us! So I wanted to post some of my simple pleasures of today on this Beautiful Snowy Wednesday Morning!



A steeping Hot Cup of Coffee in your favorite mug on a cold winter morning!




A sick little girl and her sweet little brother spending the day in Jammies! Because Nothing is better than staying home from school when you are sick and spending the day in your Hannah Montana Jammies LOL!!


A Sweet precious almost 7 week old baby in her Jammies too just hanging around! She's getting so chubby, 2 weeks ago at her one month appointment she weighed 11lbs 5 oz! So she's doing well!! Oh and the smells of a baby too! Nothing in the world like it!!
Lastly a sweet boy playing in his room with his Geo tracks!! My boy LOVES his trains!!!

Here are some of my simple pleasures today and it's only 9:53 am! God is sooo Good!
What are your Simple Pleasures today?

"Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!" Psalm 107:1 ESV

Snow Day!!

There is absolutely nothing I love more than a LaZy Saturday at home with the family!! Right before lunch it started Snowing!! It's such a pretty snow!!! It almsot reminds me of when we were stuck in the Hospital right after Meya was born, that was a Saturday as well! This morning we had a relaxing morning, Jayson's Mom and Sister (Jayson's Aunt) who is visiting from PA came over to see the kids and see Meya for the 1st time! Of course I didn't remember to take any pictures I'm terrible I know and then Jayson and My Mady-girl ran out to do some errands for me at Target and Best Buy! I'm so THRILLED to say that our taxes are done and submitted online and it's before the last day of January! Not to bad if you ask me!! Now we are so excited to begin a new year of organization with our bill and desk are! We have this neat little cubby in the one corner of our bedroom that Jayson and his dad are going to build a desk in and some wonderful and much needed shelving as well! I will take pictures of Before and after ! Don't worry! So hopefully in the next few weeks we can get that accomplished! The funny thing is I always HATED baskets when I was a kid.....My mom still to this day is the MOST Organized person I know and uses a TON of baskets! I hated that when I was kid but now I see how AWESOME they are and how much sense it makes to use them! I am just loving them now! So I think This year there will be a lot more baskets in our future! Ha!! I have all these Ideas so Jayson told me to write them all down and that will help us accomplish them! This year my new Years Resolution is to be more organized and on top of things like my mom! Everyone used to tell me how much alike I am to my Mother and as a teenager I never did foresee how much I would love hearing that as an Adult! I may look like My daddy more but I am beginning to become more and more like my Mom and I could be happier!! I am blessed beyond Measure to have a Christian Family and am so blessed beyond belief! Here's a sweet little picture of my little ones to leave you with! Enjoy



Blessings,
Stacey

A whole Day When Daddy works late..

So you all will have to forgive me for posting the next few pictures! They are surely an embarrassment, to say the least! Yesterday was such a LONG i mean LONG day! Jayson went to work as usual at about 6:30, but had his work Christmas party last night at Carmine's Italian Restuarant in Atlantic City at the Tropicana so that left me with the little ones all day ! With No adult interaction except a phone call that was bad news, but will get into that a later post! Anyways so I wanted to document how insane the house can get with 3 little ones 5 and Under!! I really still can't believe I'm going to show these pictures! Please leave a comment and tell me your homes get like this as well!?!?!?
Here's my kitchen UGHHH that was at Dinner time I made pancakes! I was not messing around!!!
Bryces room..........
They spent most of the day in Madyson's room as you can see oh my Word!!

Can you believe I actually took pictures of this?!?!
No I didn't even make beds either!!
Yikes here comes our living room

This was probably the most insane day I have had since little Miss Meya was born!! The kids were just crazy! It was such a beautiful 50 degree weather and i so desperate to get them outside but the ground is still so wet from all that rain we had on Sunday! But Bryce, Meya and I did take a walk and will post that later! But really Yesterday was a day I don't think I will forget! I mean don't get me wrong I love my little ones, but a day without any Adult interaction will just be the end of me!! Ha!!
Blessings,
Stacey

Warning Picture Overload!

My sweet little (growing) family! My sweet hubby and 2 big siblings!!

Love this one of Madyson and Meya! Nothing like sisterly love
My 2 men and my littlest girl!!!!! Bryce is so inlove!
This picture just melts my heart!!! Sweet sweet day!
On our way home from the hopsital!!!
This is the park in our town and all the snow we had the day after Meya was born!
Getting ready to go home!!


1 day old!
Bored waiting for the contractions to begin!
right as the Pitocin started!!!

These pictures are for my dear friend DAwn!! I promised her I would post some picutres! ha! It only takes me almost a month to get around to doing it!! figures! I hope to post more later!! We can't believe she is almost a month old already! Man how time flies!! It's amazing to me that she has only been her a month and we can't remember what life was like without her little sweet self! Lord we thankful for the gift of Meya and the precious gift of all our children!! We don't take it for granted one second! You are so amazing!!!

Our little girl is born!

It's been way to long since my last blog, but things have been a little crazy here! Our little girl Meya Hope Aspenberg was born on Friday, Dec. 18th at 7:35 pm and weighed 7lbs 9.4 ounces! She was perfect and beautiful! I was induced at 8 am that morning and pushed for 25 minutes and then she was born! She was my longest delivery . Our 1st daughter Madyson was born after only 2 pushes and Our Son Bryson I pushed 4 times...so this was a bit longer... Although I feel I shouldn't even complain because my sister in laws and a few of my friends have pushed for hours and such!!!

We have had quite a world wind of 3 weeks! I can't believe it's been 3 weeks since our little girl came into this world! Jayson (my husband) and I were just talking a few minutes ago about how we can't even remember our lives before her! The kids have been wonderful in the adjustment to have a little one in the house! Madyson has been a little Mommy, and Bryce has been so cute, He always tells me when she is crying including when she is in my arms and crying LOL! She really doesn't cry all that often and he always thinks she's hungry too it's adorable!! The transition over all in the house has been really good! The start of this week Is what I was dreading the most! Jayson went back to work full time and Madyson went back to school, so that started a whole new cycle but to my surprise God is soo good and got us through this week really smoothly!! I'm so thankful for that ! I was so nervous how I was going to get Madyson on the bus with the other 2 little ones and it's been just about Frigid this week also so I was so nervous! I even made it to Mops on Monday at church as well! I didn't think that I was going to be able to get there but again God is soo good and helped me through it and I was there!! I soo didn't want to miss it, Donna Chambers was speaking our pastor's wife and she is such an amazing speaker and she loves the Lord so much I was so glad I made it! Unfortunately I didn't get to hear all of her talk but I was so thankful I was able to hear some of it!! Of course Meya was hungry 1/2 way through but it's good!

We had a WONDERFUL Christmas!!! It was so special! I'll have to blog at a later day about Christmas and post some pictures because Meya is just about to ready to nurse again so I 'm going to run now but I am looking forward to getting back in the swing of things and blogging more often!!! Happy New Year too
Blessings,
