Day 175

Meet Pepper! She is my brother Ben's new puppy. They live in Texas. She is a hotdog dog! I love these guys! Can't wait to meet her in December!

Day 174

This is our cat Jinx. He's been really clingy as of late. Always wants to be near me for whatever reason. He doesn't go near the baby, so no worries about that just me. This is where he slept most of the night until I kicked him off the bed. In the picture on the right is Richard's back and on the left is me. He's such an odd cat! 

Friday Confessionals

It's Friday! And It's been a few weeks since I have done some confessing 


I confess........... 


I am not one to cry. I was taught we don't cry and it's stuck. But I can honestly say I cannot not cry when I watch this video. Seriously ever time it happens. I think it's because of baby hormones and because sometimes I don't feel appreciated for the "work" I do and this video reflects how much work moms do and people don't realize it. Go ahead watch it and try not to tear up I dare you!

I confess................


I know I chose to be a stay at home Mom but it's hard still some days just like any other job. Except you can't go home at the end of the day! 


I Confess....................


I am in LOVE with my little bug. She is a sweetheart and at 3 weeks old she already has an attitude! She hates being put down she loves being held and with her being my last baby I hate to put her down. I want as many snuggles as possible! 


I Confess.....................


Red Bulls have become my friends as of late........


I Confess......................


I forgot how demanding a newborn is! Goodness!!!!! Sleep is something I miss so dearly at night


I Confess.................


I am really excited for the Olympics! I love Wrestling, Gymnastics, swimming.......oh heck I love all of them! 


I Confess...............


I am watching the Track Trials at the moment with the husband.


I Confess..................


I need a vacation! 


I Confess..............


Next Thursday I turn 32.......Yikes! I am getting old!

Day 173

My baby is growing up.........not sure if I like this!


I got my basement back, after a large bottle of bleach and several hours of cleaning I got it back.


I have a shower down there.


I asked Avery if he would like to move down there to take showers, of course he jumped on that. 


I moved his loofa down there tonight (see above picture you will notice next to the purple one is a missing one for said Avery.


I didn't think much of it until I was in shower tonight and realized it was missing and how he is growing up much quicker than I want


I'm not so sure I'm ready for this and he's only 8! 


Yikes

Day 172

I bought these shoes for summer time for Toby. Notice in this picture this is NOT Toby. This is Evan and since I bought said shoes he will go to the shoe bucket downstairs everyday and put them on and walk around in them. He's such a random little boy and I love it! 

We Want To Know Wednesdays!

Welcome to We Want to Know Wednesdays Q&A

Hosted by Mamarazzi and Crazymama

Let's talk summer. Ours is in full swing and the temps are rising (we got up to 114 on a few days already) So this weeks questions are about keeping cool and other summer delights.

(1) What is the usual summer high temperature where you live?

(2) How do you keep cool? Do you have central air?

(3) Do you swim? If you get in the water do you get your hair and make-up wet?

(4) What is your favorite summer look? As far as outfit , shoe choice and  hairstyle? (Pics are rad or just describe it.) Do you wear less make-up in the summer?

(5) What is your favorite summer meal to make or eat, either way? (Score extra cool points for a recipe.)

(1) What is the usual summer high temperature where you live?


I live in the desert it changes but the normal average in the summer is in the 90's some days much hotter and some less than so! 


(2) How do you keep cool? Do you have central air?


Oh yeah! I would die without mine! AC and we open all of our windows at night and then close them in the mornings and also use a fan. 


(3) Do you swim? If you get in the water do you get your hair and make-up wet?


I LOVE to swim don't get to swim as often as I would like but when I do it's all in and wet! 


(4) What is your favorite summer look? As far as outfit , shoe choice and  hairstyle? (Pics are rad or just describe it.) Do you wear less make-up in the summer?




Summer look is pretty much the same as winter look just less clothes during the summer! I like my hair curly but lately I have been doing the straight look. These were taken last summer I avoid the camera at the moment until I lose more baby weight!

 Typical outfit of mine below this is a picture of me and my aunt and cousin!

(5) What is your favorite summer meal to make or eat, either way? (Score extra cool points for a recipe.)


I don't have any that I can give you that requires a recipe however my favorite summer meal is corn on the cob, fresh salad, cold watermelon and steaks! Yummmy!!!!!!!!!

Day 171

A daddy and his kids! Getting a picture with all of them isn't as easy as you think! I sure do love these people!

Day 170

Do you see a difference (besides hair color) in these two pictures? In the first picture is a current picture of me the 2nd picture was taken back when I was barley pregnant. Even though the weight difference between the 2 pictures only 10 pounds it's amazing how "different" I look to myself in the pictures. In the first picture no matter what I couldn't take a picture of myself that I liked really but in the 2nd picture I snapped a few pictures and liked them all. It's only a few pounds but they can make you feel like a million pounds! I know it has been less than 3 weeks since Alice was born but I am having a hard time with it! Oh well at least I have lost more weight since I weighed myself last so that made me feel so much better!

Day 169

Happy Father's Day to all the men who actually are there for the first tooth falling out, the first time they scrape a knee or get in a fight with a sibling. There are many first's that have happened and many more to come and I am so thrilled I have this man to be there for all of my children. He's not perfect and neither am I but together I think we make a pretty good team. Thank you for all the wonderful men who help make their partners a completed team!
