first days, birthdays & more!

Hello my military and non military blog family :)
I left you all off on my son aizaiahs birthday, well 3 days later my oldest son Ayden turned 5! holy moly! it's crazy knowing my baby boy is already 5, in my eyes that's a milestone. Then the day before that Ayden started his first day of kindergarten, it was such a bittersweet moment, I was sad but so happy and proud at the same time. Prior to starting school he had to take a test to see where he was academically and like I knew he was well above his age group, so I knew he had this he would make kindergarten his b!%@$ :P and he has so far! the only thing that breaks my heart and pisses me off at the same time is when he told me an older kid (3rd grader) pushed him down in the hall because ayden had the same shoes as him -.- umm wait so you're mad a 5 year old out "swags" you haha I promise to never say swag again lol other than that he is doing AHmazing in school and making lots of new friends the teacher being one of them. Ayden is raised in a military family and you can tell, it's always yes m'am/sir no m'-am/sir and apparently his teacher thinks that's the greatest thing ever! lol aside from all the kid fun my husband made staff sergeant! whoop whoop! and apparently this year it was THE hardest test and they didn't choose as many people, Jesus was definitely on his side that day. now he is attending ALS airman leadership school for 6 weeks and of course since getting rank was much harder this year so is ALS -.- to top it off he is one of 3 class leaders so he goes in early on weekends for study group to write out the study material on the white board.. why is he in ALS he is already an amazing leader! lol I'm extremely proud of him words cannot even describe it. NOW with the whole OCS crap he is STILL waiting for medical waiver approval. When he deployed in 2009 to Afghanistan he ended up getting a disease that ill not say, however it is NOT active if it was active he would be on his death bed :( but anywho so that's the ONLY thing waitin to be approved IF it gets approved then after ALS he will have a board especially for him (because the army apparently wants him that bad) so fingers crossed, but at this point we are just whatever about it, if it's in gods plans for us then awesome if not that's awesome too, good thing he is almost done with his masters degree right? :P I hope I didn't seem to "Braggy" but I'm extremely proud of y family :) I hope everyone has been doing amazing! have a blessed night!

Happy Birthday To Youuuuuu!

My baby boy turned 4 years old today! holy cow where in the world is time going?! It seems like just yesterday my neighbors/friends  tiff was holding my leg, abby and heather were taking pictures of my vag as I pushed him out, and my husband was half ass holding my leg watching football hahaha I'm so proud of the young man my baby has become in these 4 short years of life, he is so intelligent, outgoing, and well behaved. Jesus has definitely blessed me! This year we skipped out on birthday parties and instead one of their pawpaws came to visit! the reason I say "their" is because my other son Ayden turns 5 on Tuesday! yes yes I had Aizaiah 3 days before Ayden's 1st birthday lol I hear it all the time how crazy that is, how they are considered some type of twin (never heard of it before but ok) lol so any who, they got a brand new trampoline, a puppy, a flat screen TV, and clothes & shoes. One thing I LOVE about having boys is that they are SO simple! The boys both chose a box cake for mommy to bake them on each of their birthdays and we let them decide what they wanted to do for their day and today Aizaiah chose to play at the park hahah can't complain! and that's exactly what we did, we shall see what Ayden chooses on his day. I've had such baby fever lately I REALLY REALLY REALLY want another baby, and I think the reason why is because all of my kids are growing up WAY to fast! lol now to convince my lovely husband of mine to get a reversal on that vasectomy hahaha! (never going to happen) As the day comes to an end I can't help but be so thankful that my baby boy was alive and healthy to celebrate another year of life. Thank you Jesus!

Have a fabulous night bloggers!

Sunday Funday

Hello my fellow spouse's, civilians, and military members :P

WELL, Today was pretty lame lol jk not really, but really, basically it was a house cleaning and gym type of day so lets get right into tomorrow! I've been trying the best I can to keep you all updated with my husband's journey to becoming an army infantry officer! Well last time I told y'all how MEPS wouldn't "touch him" because his release date from the airforce was a year away, well somehow there was a miracle and he is off to MEPS in the morning! pray pray pray that everything goes well this is the ONLY obstacle in the way because like I've said before the brigade commander and SSgt that choose the OCS candidates had a one on one with my husband and basically guaranteed him a spot, so go figure the MEPS people are making things complicated lol but now that he made staff he is attending ALS (airman leadership school) and that is something he HAS to attend so he won't be able to leave for OCS until after that which isn't but a few weeks long, but I've been told it's better to go officer after being an NCO so booyah! I think this was God's plan for my husband to make staff before going OCS so it looks better for him. But i'll make sure to let you all know how things go tomorrow. Aside from that I also am taking my oldest son Ayden to his school tomorrow for his testing apt. it's just testing to see where they are so the teachers know what to work on with the kids, and we have to bring the gazillion school supplies to the teacher tomorrow also then his first full day of school is the 26th. He is so excited to start kindergarten and although I'm sad my baby is getting older and smarter and prospering I'm very excited for my little boy. I'm thrilled with the school he is going to as well, BEAUTIFUL newly built school, amazing security system, and the staff is phenomenal! they also partner with the YMCA so I THINK his school for all ages do "school sports" how awesome!! Him and his brother start basketball this December EEEEK! im thrilled! and my baby girl is starting a few things as well but I'll wait to discuss those :D

If you all don't know I have another blog My journey to turn my body into the after picture. basically just my fitness adventure so those who are interested in my diet or my fitness routine you can go follow that blog as well :) and yes there ARE follow buttons on the blogs lol I didn't know til I seen someone was "following" my other blog lol on top of that I am also starting a YouTube channel called GlaMom- beauty by chancey so stay tuned for that I'm still working on it but I will let you all know when I have made my first video :)

well that's it for tonight blog friends, stay tuned to my crazy life! lol

What's up Milso's and non Milso's :P

I'll be posting a bunch of randoms today k? k, ready set go!

for the military families who don't know this already, the military well atleast the airfoce here at our base provided my son with a new backpack and school supplies FOR FREE! saaweeet! they also do things for Thanksgiving and Christmas too so make sure you look into that, LOTS of freebies.

I'm pretty sure my husband and I have more fun on the boys birthday gift (14ft trampoline) than they do! lol we gave it to them early so they could enjoy it before school starts and the day we set it up the kids played on it then my husband and I waited for the kids to fall asleep then we literally crawled out of our bedroom window which has no screen (we didn't want to walk past the kid's room and wake them up) and we cracked up laughing jumping on the trampoline, once our fat asses got tired we layed there and look at the stars ^_^

My father in law is coming soon to help celebrate my boys 4th and 5th birthdays, not only did they get their trampoline and puppy but they are also getting toys and we are taking them to dun dun dunnnn KINGS ISLAND! they have a little "snoopy land" there and they meet the height requirements so they get to ride the little kid rollercoasters wahoo! they are going to have a blast and I can't freaking wait to see their faces!

My oldest son Ayden starts kindergarten on the 21st -_- so not ready, im going to cry, I know I am. OH and I had my second interview at a dental office today, it went VERY well so fingers crossed in 1-2weeks ill get a call saying I got the job $16/hr um yeah Ill take it! lol

My weightloss journey is totally sucking balls hahah because lucky me my dr said my hormones are out of wack, i'm being put on birth control BOOOOO and the fact my hormones are out of wack they said it'll be hard for me to lose weight, oh freaking well, I'm still going to bust my ass working out to atleast stay healthy :) besides strong is the new skinny right?

My fav hair products

Hey dolls!
Well I've been asked SO many times what hair products I use, how do I keep my hair so healthy for it to be so long all the time etc. well here ya go! I'm going to show you a few products I use in my hair just about everyday. I've  used Tresemme shampoo and Conditioner for about 12 years now and I've used the Tresemme hair prodcuts for about 3 years. About 9-12 months ago I started using a coconut milk oil because I went bleach blonde and that fried my hair, the coconut milk oil basically restored my hair back to it's shiny-ness and smooth feel, I also feel my hair seems a little thicker but idk that could just be me. I have yet to try the coconut milk shampoo and conditioner but it is next on my list. I just have such long hair that the tresemme is affordable and you get a lot for the price and it has always been amazing to my hair :) I'll show you pictures of the products incase you want to try it you can find it much easier, and all my products I get at my local grocery store, and they are all very affordable and smell amazeballs! The oils I'm going to show you last me about a month, I use 2 squirts about a nickel size with each use, the spray lasts me about 2-3 weeks just because I'm always blow-drying, straightening or curling my hair and the shampoo and conditioner last me 2 weeks, unfortunately because my hair is long and gets tangly a lot I use a ton of conditioner. One thing I want to recommend is DO NOT use a lot of the oil on top of your head, after rubbing the oil through your hair use what is left on your ands (almost nothing) for the top of your heard or else even after your hair dries it'll look greasy, YUCK, happened to me the first time I used the coconut milk oil when I went blonde lol.

TRESemme anit-frize oil

Coconut Milk Oil

 

Tresemme heat protectant spray

 

How my hair looks after using products, nice and shiny :)

 

I hope this helped you all out!

Now go buy this stuff so you can look even more fab :P

BEWARE the products are addicting lol

My Everyday Smokey Eye How To..

hey guys!
I know I'm extremely late posting this but here is a little of how I do my "smokey eye" btw stay tuned for ANOTHER new blog strictly for hair and makeup :)

I always start with my face first. So I'm just going to show you a few of my fav products right now for my face, I didn't get a chance to snap a pic of them all.

Concealer/Highlighter pen

Highlight & Contour Powder by NYX

 

NYX Blush PB06 Peach

 

Now onto my smokey eye:

 

for my shadows I use the 120 color palette 5th edition by BHcosmetics

My brushes are also from BHcosmetics

Before starting on my eyeshadow I always fill in my eyebrows with a brown eyeshadow, I will have a separate post just for eyebrows later on.

First I take my angled brush and just draw a line across my crease and the outter part of my lid.

Then I take my blending brush dab a little more black shadow on to blend it towards the middle of my lid, I also use it to blend a little above the line on the crease of my lid

Next I take a metallic silver and pack it in the middle of my lid then I use white eyeshadow and pack it in the corner of my eye where my tear duct is (white shadow not shown in the picture above)

 

I then apply my first coat of mascara with grow luscious by Revlon, this gives my lashes length

 for my second coat I use this loreal mascara, this gives my lashes more volume

Here is my finished look of my everyday smokey eye. Hope yall enjoyed!

since I had such a dark eye I went with a subtle pink lip

kate lipstick I purchased at walmart, it smells really good!
