Trisha @ momdot says......

While reaching 100K people is awesome, if not nearly an impossible feat when we started out on this journey, it definitely was not something that we here at MomDot did alone, by any means. I couldn’t possibly start thanking every person individually, because there isn’t even enough time in the day, and I hope I have said thank you to those along the way as they gave up their time, their blog space, their advice, and their creativity.

We have written 825 Posts total on momdot from our preopening till now.

However, I did want to do a few things.

Thank you to those in the beginning that really helped set UP MomDot and get us off the ground. Some of these girls didn’t even know who I was, just some random person on the net, and they still gave up something. No particular order!

Got wood?

Sunday morning started with a trip to 7-11 to pick up a pumpkin spice latte. I am now addicted to them...Then a trip to my Dad's to drop off the girls and head up the mountain to get wood for the winter. The rest of my family had already gotten theirs but we slacked so they came to help us! So Dad, Clint, Grandpa Ted, Uncle Mike, Riley and I were off like a terd of hurtles...Sorry bad joke.

This is my little man helping me mark wood...

This is the only proof that I was there as I was taking all of the pictures!

Here is my Dad the hero! He is so awesome and he and my step mom are such awesome people! They help us out all the time and we appreciate them so much.

This is my Grandpa Ted who helped supervise this whole operation!

Here is Riley again this time with an ax! Look out world!

Here is my Uncle Mike the tree faller downer...Don't know what else to call it...LMAO!

We had a fun time and got a lot of wood and now we have a toasty warm fire which is so nice! Thanks so much to all who helped us!

Amanda's Birthday party

If you are an avid reader of my blog (yeah right) you already know that my friend Amanda turned 27 and here are some pictures of her party I threw her! She is such an awesome person and I wanted her to have a special day all bout her! We went to the corn maze, and then came to our house to hang for a while and then had an ADULTS ONLY dinner. We decided to go to Cassidy's and have some of their yummy prime rib. All in all I hope she had a great birthday as I know I had fun celebrating it with her!

This is Amanda and I at the Corn Maze...

This is Amanda's cake that the kids helped decorate! Isn't it lovely?

This is what happens after all day with Dad and a very small nap! I came home to find her in her high chair, face all dirty, and fast asleep. Her head would bob up and down as she fell more asleep and it was so funny! You gotta love those moments!

Birthdays

So I have 2 awesome wonderful amazing friends whose birthday is tomorrow! One is turning 30 and the other 27. So here goes a little bit o history on both of them!
Mandy (who is turning the dreaded 30) and I have been a part of each others lives in a wierd kind of way since we were little! When her Mom and Dad were married they were friends and neighbors with my Aunt and her first husband Mike. That really doesn't pertain to Mandy and I but oh well... Then we went to school together and in jr high and high scool were on yearbook together and spent many hours hanging out! We used to drag main in her little white car listening to all kinds of weird music! We also have this crazy mutual friend who no longer lives in this country but still visits! Then there is our moms... What can we say we have to love them right? Mandy and I swear that our moms are sisters seperated at birth! I don't mean anything by this except that they both would give you the shirts off their backs without even thinking about what they would do for a shirt first! They are crazy and we love them for it! They have helped makes us who we are today! Mandy also helped me get into this whole blogging world and is also my blog designer! She rocks...Stay tuned for her next design on here! Anyways I so give this award to Mandy for her awesomeness. Happy Birthday woman!



Now for Amanda. She is this wonderful mom to three wonderful kids. Oh yeah did I mention they are hellians? They are but we love them for it. She is a dedicated wife and an awesome friend. We met this year and have grown so close in just these few short months! She is an all out country girl and I love her to death. She would bend over backwards to help anyone who needed it, but seldom takes time for herself! We talk almost every day on messenger and if one of us isn't on the computer, we text like crazy! She is just like a sister to me and I hope that she has an awesome birthday tomorrow!

LOVE YOU BOTH... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
