Vogue

So before I got sick last week, and before I headed down to Monterey the week before, Alexxa was visiting. I felt the need to put some time on my camera, so Alexxa obliged and we took some pictures. She kept telling me that the sun was really bright. I kept telling her that she is just a baby...ends up...she came down with the flu later that day. Worst parent of the year award here! I thought the pics came out great for not feeling well, see what you think.

WARNING - There will be a little Alexxa overload...just warning you ahead of time.













Not too shabby. I know what you are thinking though, what about poor Austin. Well, I hardly see him, he is either working or sleeping, and honestly, it would probably take an act of Congress to get him outside so I could take pictures of him.

Maybe I should make taking pics of him my new mission, we'll see.

Things I'm thankful for today:
Being healthy.
Having cute, cute, cute kids.
A nice camera to play around with.

One of Those Days

I feel you kid!

Caught the flu/cold (not sure which one)....feeling crappy....and also found out two of my favorite shows might be cancelled...Is it the weekend yet?

That is all.

Things I'm thankful for today:
Hmmmm, ummmm, Dayquil
A place to vent (thanks for listening to my whining).

Cuteness Explosion

I'm feeling the need to look at cute baby animals...this should do it. Can I get a collective awwwwwwww?

Things I'm thankful for today:
Getting to spend time with Alexxa in Monterey this weekend.
Having deep conversation with Austin...something about growing facial hair.
Resting next to my hard working husband while he sleeps soundly.

Weirdest Thing

I woke up about 1:30 AM this morning with my gums almost to the top of my teeth. I went to the mirror to look and the inside of my mouth, and it was super red and puffy. Panicked, I pulled out my handy dandy dental floss and went to town on my mouth. Something must have lodged itself between my teeth and gums, and boy did my gums not like it. As of this moment, my gums are back to normal, a little tender, but everything looks a-okay. Yippee!

Thing I'm thankful for today:
Dental floss

Happy Birthday To Me

I woke up Sunday morning to a cheery Austin wishing me a happy birthday. The conversation went something like this:

Austin: Happy Birthday!

Me: Who are you talking to?

Austin: You

Me: Me?

Austin: Ya

Me: Uh, Austin...it's not my birthday.

Austin: What? What day is your birthday?

Me: 9-10-??

Austin: Ohhhhh! I'm a month late.

I came home from work today (Monday) and Austin had purchased a box of some wonderfully delicious gourmet chocolates for me. What a sweetheart!

Thing I'm thankful for today:
A wonderful and thoughtful son :)

M.I.A.

Has it really been over a week since I blogged last?

I have been neglecting my blog posting duties this past week *hangs head in shame*. I was truly exhausted. I have been in bed asleep by 10 PM every night. I haven't been sick, overworked...nothing. All I can think of is that it is getting darker earlier, so my body says BEDTIME. I dunno? Anywho...I'm back!

Things I'm thankful for today:
Watching a swell game of soccer.
Spending time with my girl.
Relaxing Saturday afternoon.
