| Bella's Baby Names. So here are a few names I come up with. Bella is a name that's not my ACTUAL name just something I played with naming my first baby (Mackenzie) I have gotten out voted twice but as Danielle says I have been carrying it around in my pocket for nearly a decade. I had the name in my pocket before it was popular. I got it off of a TV show back in the day. Megan is a name I dreamed shortly before I found out I was preggers. Doane is a family name Rick wants to use. | |
| William Doane |  |
| Megan Isabella | |
| Megan Elizabeth (SIL's name) | |
| Megan Marie (Sisters middle name) | |
| Megan Grace (Rick's moms middle name and a nickname of mine) | |
| Isabella Grace | |
| Tristan Doane | |
| Thomas Doane | |
| Megan Catherine | |
| Megan (first name) Jacqueline Corrine (either of these being a middle after my grandma) | |

Clean House
I've been watching Clean House on the Style network all morning and it inspires me. YES I am not a good house keeper. I can do it when I am motivated and when I feel everyone is giving equal effort and really feel bad at the moment for hubby who takes on ALL the crap himself. He deligates chores to James and James likes to give his own ultimatiums about doing chores. This doesn't go over well with me but I am tired of the back lash I get from always going between James and Rick. If Rick wants to take James' back talk then I guess he doesn't care. He doesn't show he cares about taking on the brunt of the housework. He doesn't care that James doesn't have respect. Yeah I am saying it. I mean it and Rick knows how I feel.
I love to be organized and I wish someone would give me the money to completely organize my house. Bookshelves and bookshelves of books and DVD's. Yeah thats my husband's treasure and no I don't feel he should have to get it up. It just needs space which military housing doesn't give. I do like to shop for clothes for Skylar. I don't think I shop for clothes for myself alot but there just isn't room in my closet that I share. I think the kids have a bigger closet than we do. I would love to see Skylar's clothes and toys organized and if i feel I am given adequate room and ability then I would disguard what doesn't fit. A few months ago I had Barbie stuff in the living room but it was well tucked away IMHO so no one would even know its there. Her doll house is thin and sticks in the foyer closet just perfect... well somehow it doesn't anymore :( The rule was that was the only toy allowed in the living room unless she had permission for something else. When she was done with it she was supposed to tell me or James for us to put it away and if she didn't put it away it would be moved to a place where she wouldn't be allowed to play with it. Her bedroom is very cluttered in space. There isn't much space in her room with all the bookshelves and dresser that needs repair. I just feel bad and wished I had help and some expertise on opening it up. Rick and I are at war, he's constantly bringing up purging Skylar's room with her toys because she doesn't play in it because she makes it a mess and being in my condition I just can't clean it up all the time and I am the only one allowed to clean it because no one would do it correctly. Toss here Toss there.. Throw away things I may have spent alot of money on. I think there is nothing wrong with a little girl having alot of dolls, bears, and stuffed animals. Thats what she plays with! But thats one of many of my goals to get our family more organized.
I need your help. Post pictures of how you keep your kids organized and in check. Skylar is 6 and doesn't like to play alot by herself but we are working on it since by August a lot of my time will be taken up by the new baby at least until we get into a groove. Do you limit the amount of dolls and stuff a little girl has? I don't think Skylar has TOOOO MUCH. She didn't have any toys 2 years ago when we moved here.

I am tickled
The Military Life has been a hard adjustment for Skylar at some points. Her bestest friend Cari and her have been friends since
they were babies. Literally a life long friendship. We moved away from Cari and her family in order to join the Military
lifestyle. We visit as often as we can and keep in touch. Skylar's first friend to show her the ropes was her future "husband"
Nic... Eventually like all Military Families Nic's time was up here and they had to move to their next duty station. Many of her
playmates and friends have moved away in the two years we have joined the Military family. Mikayla, Molly, Colin, John Robert,
Genesis, Kayla, Kendra, Dezaray, and Phoebe... and neighbors. Skylar was blessed to be a social butterfly and has no problems
making friends but she does't forget the ones that moved on. She recently she asked to move to Colorado because Colin moved there.
She doesn't realize it yet but her close friend Nicole will have to go to their next duty station. So as a surprise to both girls
I am going to make a small scrapbook for them to hold on to with pictures of them together.
Today I started the project. I made three folders. One for each book I plan on making. I started copying and pasting the many
pictures from all my different files. I had started with close to 850 pictures. My goal was to get each friend down to 30 each or
less. So I went through and deleted the ones I had doubles of due to resizing and editing. I deleted the ones that just were to
blurry to actually risk printing. It was actually quite a few due to lighting of the Youth Center and Ballet School. Many other
places and my husband probably didn't take a lot of time to consider the quality of pictures the camera would take haha. Then I
went through every two or three pictures and decided which one I liked best because there was such a similarity (Skylar and Rick
helped.) Finally each friend is under 30 photos!! YAY. So now I have to jump on task and make these books. I plan on making one
for each friend and one for Skylar to hold on to too. So she won't forget the friends that helped her during such a big life
change.
I am tickled that I tackled and I am looking forward to such a cool project. I have less than two months to complete the first 2
books!
