Blowing up the blogger...

Labels: - Monday, March 9, 2009

Well I've got a lot to update...  our anniversary was a blast.  We ended up having dinner at P.F. Changs...  We just got one near our house (about 45 minutes, really)  so we ate there... it was so good!  We had a blast.  No pictures though. :-/

Then comes our little "ribbit ribbit"  (she's got a little frog belly)  I was trying to get her to goo and coo but this is all I got.

Oh yeah, and I can't forget Saturday's at our house,  its all about diapers, paul mitchell and neon blue tinker boots.

Today.

Today, 2 years ago, is the day I married my best friend.  We got married at dusk on a very beautiful evening.  It was a full lunar eclipse ...it was just so beautiful... so in honor of our anniversary, I decorated his car (unbeknown to him) while he was at work... 

Wowza

Thanks to Kara I found this really neat blog.  After spending an outrageous amount on groceries yesterday and coming home with not much its been eating me alive to find better ways to spend our hard earned money... Low and behold  I stumbled upon pure gold, in the form of a blog.  I'm still trying to understand the logistics of some of these deals but I'm sure that re-reading it a few times will help out.  Let the savings begin! :)


Thanks!

FUNG SHWAY Cousins...

Labels: -

So a couple weeks back, I send out an email to all of my mothers side of the family, in search of my Cousin Arianna's blog address.  Since switching over to Mac computers, I lost it and wanted to get back connected with her... unfortunately no one responded... Well today, upon checking my blog out for any comments on what to do with my office, she responds!  At first, I didn't know who it was by the username, but upon clicking on her name, I realized it was her.  Now I've got lots of blogging to catch up on.  Its been since Aug 08 that I read anything she wrote.  She will be added to the blog roll so any of you can check her out too!  (I hope you don't mind Ari!) 


The comment she left was about adding a mirror to my office...  that it is supposed to be Feng Shui.  But what exactly is Feng Shui and how do I achieve it for my office...  Good question.  I'll be doing some research on this topic and will post my findings... for now, I've got some cleaning up to do here at the 'ole office.

Here is one of my huge empty walls.. It needs something more... but what?
What should I put behind my monitors?  An orchid maybe?  Bamboo?  Willow?


The office is done but needs to be cleaned and put back together.


My other huge wall that needs help.




Should I really be blogging?!?

Not much is going on in my personal life right now, other than the fact that BRAE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT LAST NIGHT & Pressley got a little scratch from another kid at daycare. But here at work we are doing a lot! As we speak, the painter is painting the walls and the flooring guys are laying the beautiful laminate.... here take a look...

Here's a pic looking from the back of the office to where I sit now.


Here's from my new office out into the "new" waiting area

This is a view from where I used to sit towards the side/back of the office.

Here is Scooter Dave, He is painting my office now... Yellow!

No Title.

I'm kinda glum, worn out, sad... and a lot more things.

I feel that I'm so overwhelmed. Mom always used to say to just "cry it out" and I did a good job at that this morning, but it didn't seem to help. I love having 2 little angels, I love their smiles and their laughter and tons more about them. I love my husband, his smile, his hugs, his laughter and tons more about him too...

I just need some time away. Away from the hassle of dishes, and laundry and crying babies and barking dogs (any type of responsibility.) Can Someone come watch the girls for the weekend so I could run away and sleep on a nice sandy beach somewhere?

Love-

J

A Helpful child

This weekend my parents came into town for a short visit... My mom was helping me clean the kitchen after lunch on Saturday and had opened up the dishwasher to put some dirty dishes in. Any time Pressley hears the dishwasher open she immediately comes running so that she is able to help un-do what ever I have done! :) However, on this specific day she decided that she would add to the already loaded dishwasher by putting her crocs in there! :o) Needless to say, we took them out before starting the dishwasher!

Sweet Baby Brae...

Labels: - Tuesday, January 27, 2009

5 Things that melt my heart about Brae...

1. Her cute belly... She has the cutest belly in the world. She looks like a little birdie... skinny little legs but a huge stomach!

2. Her sweet smile. I love talking baby talk to her... I always get this HUGE smile back, she is beeming... then comes that little tounge. With every smile she sticks out her tounge! Not quite sure why but it is precious!

3. Her manouvering to get her hands out of anything we put them in... ever since she was born, in every swaddle she was able to get her hands free... I could put little mittens on her, or even socks on her hands to keep them warm but by the end of the night she has removed them!

4. Her slate blue eyes... Dustin and I are still unsure as to what her true color will be or if they will even change but she has the prettiest color eyes...Depending on the light you can almost always see a green or brown hugh hiding behind the blue.

5. The way she loves to snuggle. She is so "needy" in that she wants to be held or talked to or cuddled with at all times.

More Memorable Moments during the snow day

Labels: - Wednesday, January 21, 2009

Not too sure what is going on here, Pressley pulled out a bunch of paper towels, ripped them off and then got her laid her dolly's on the paper towels... maybe like this was their bed? Either way, it made me laugh...
After bath time fun- She never plays with her tub toys while she's actually in the tub... :)
The Snow beginning to fall!
My Smiley girl Braelyn!

This is what happens when you get snowed in...

Resolutions.

Labels: - Friday, January 16, 2009

Here are 2 of my new years resolutions:


1: Be a better "load bearer"

A couple weeks back one of my devo's was about bearing the load for other people.  And I thought about what that meant and how I could bear the load for those close to me as well as those that aren't.  

2. Get in Shape!

I've been thinking a lot about getting back into some other shape other than round and decided that I wanted to work towards running, dare I say a marathon?!? :)  So I want to start out with the easiest run possible, a 3k.  

So that got me thinking about How can I accomplish both my resolutions at the same time, some what...  I began to pray about doing a run for a cause... not sure which one I wanted to do, but I knew that God would direct me to which one He would have me to do.  After a little research and some personal reflection, I felt that God was pushing me to the March of Dimes.  As a mother of 2 little ones, that were perfectly healthy newborns I don't know what I would do if one of them were pre-mature, or anything worse... but I do know that I would want people like me to go out and raise money to help find the cure for things that ale little babies.  Before I started doing research, I didn't know exactly what the March of Dimes was... I'd heard about it but never knew.  

Not only will I be running in the 3k to raise money.  I would also like to be a team leader of a group of people that will be running.  Hopefully, this will not be a hard task, to find people to run and raise money with me. If you are interested in donating money or running on my team, check out our website for Team W-I-T  (that stands for whatever it takes)  

Thanks guys!
