Happy 4th Birthday Kolton Lane



Four Years Ago (yesterday, yes I know I am late with post but we were busy.)God chose me to be the mother of a beautiful handsome Baby boy! He changed my life forever, in just a matter of hours. I was 24 years old and newly single. I really had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, I was just having fun. On January 20, 2009 I got a call from a close friend's mother. That call forever changed my world and how I saw things.

Kolton's biological "mother" had tested positive for Meth during delivery, as well as Kolton. CPS immediately removed him from her care and he was sent home from the hospital a healthy thriving little boy. His Grandmother was named his primary caregiver for the time being, along with his 3 year old big brother, Cam. His Granny, as we call her, quickly realized she was unable to care for a newborn & a 3 year old. That's where I came in. After a quick phone call Granny was on her way to my house to discuss some things. I had no idea things were about to change forever.

After a lot of discussion with Granny, talks with My mom & sisters, and a lot of praying I decided I would become Kolton's primary caregiver. In a matter of minutes, I can became a mother to a 3 week old little boy. In a few short hours and a lot of help from Family & Friends. My little man had a complete nursery and closet full of clothes.

I truly believe God Chose Me to be his Mother and I am forever grateful for the confidence he had in me. I am more blessed than I could have ever imagined.

To My Amazing, Handsome, Often Stubborn Son,
As we get ready to Celebrate your 4th Birthday with Friends and Family on Saturday, I look back on the last 4 years and how you have made my life complete. I amazed Daily as you grow and continue to learn. I love how curious about life you are. I love that you are a Great Big Brother and that you are always Protecting & loving your sister, when you aren't driving her crazy. I love that you remember to say "Please and Thank you" most of the time. I love your imagination and that you love Trucks. You stole my heart from the moment I held you in my arms. I look forward to all the milestones you have ahead of you. I'll always be right there to hold your hand when are scared, kiss your boo-boo's when you get hurt and give you a little shove when you are nervous. Most of all I will love you with everything I have for as long as I live! Happy 4th Birthday Kolton Lane!

New Year. New Me!

Wow, I can't believe its been over a year since my last blog! A lot has changed in the last year. We have been busy, a couple Vacations, couple Birthdays, potty training and a few sick trips to the ER. All and all I would say 2011 has been a great year!

Mr. K, my handsome very independent almost 4 year old, has grown up a lot but still loves his mommy!


Ms. B, my beautiful stubborn little 2 year old diva, has really gained her own personality. She is very outspoken and has a temper. She loves her brother to the moon and back, but that doesn't stop her from the occasional hit here and there.



As for me. I am now 28 years old and loving life. Finally getting back to the things I really love. My photography and my crafting! Plus, I plan on Blogging at least once a week. Mostly Photography, as I took a 52 Week Photography Challenge! So hopefully the new year brings lots of new Experiences! Until then, hope you have a Very Safe and fun Filled New Year! See ya in 2012 :)

House Party-Friends, Fun & BBQ!

My good friend Tammy recently introducted me to HouseParty.com. It's safe to say, I've become addicted quickly! HouseParty is a great site that offers Free Parties for you to throw. When you are chosen to host these parties. About a week or 2 before you recieve what they call a Party Pack. This almost always comes with Samples, a gift, Invites and more.

I've applied for probably 4-6 parties since I started. I was chose to host my first party June 26th. I am hosting the Bull's Eye BBQ Party! I'm very excited. I love to grill outside and enjoy having friends over to hang out in the backyard! I'll blog more when I get my party pack. Hopefully post some pictures as well!

I really suggest you go over to HouseParty.com and check it out! Below is my link to my party!

Need Help

I need Help...wow, that wasn't that hard!

Asking for help is something I hate to do! I love being independent, creative and a mom who does it all! But, I guess my creativitity has been lacking lately! I've recently started my own business and I'm in the process of finding a store front location. My problem is the name. It's current calling is "Rockin' It Country Designs". This has worked for a while but I just don't think it's Store material. So, that's why I am asking for help. I need a new name for the store. I think the RICD will still be our legal name, I just need a front name. I make Crosses,Cowgirl Chunky Jewerly, Picture Frames, Cowgirl Flip Flops and home decor signs. We are also making furniture and I would like to expand into Cowgirl Clothes.

So, to all my blog peeps, any ideas?
