Where do I begin

We are having a baby December 7Th a little girl in which we are naming Remy Loraine. We are all very excited especially big brother Boone. I am now staying home again with my son after working for since January, I have been having back pains and cramps so decided best with my doctor I better be down for the next few months. We have been having an exciting summer going swimming, to an air show, to Grandma's alot and of course classic splash pads around Spokane. It's been pretty hot and just trying to survive an apartment with a partially working AC unit while being big and pregnant has been a challenge in itself, as well as trying to keep a busy 2 year old boy entertained. There is more to come and pics as well stay tuned....Have a good Monday everyone!

Beautiful Sunday

What's been happening lately

I got my favorite flowers for Valentine's Day and though I would share with you a very beautiful Stargazer lily..I got a mix of lilies and roses and they were beautiful Thank you babe!!

On another note Boone's Christmas present came last week from my dad and Boone has been enjoying it outside but doesn't quite know how to steer it yet...Thanks Grandpa!!

I was lucky to be part of this..

2010-02-07T09:18:00.000-08:00

My best friend Mckenzie got married yesterday at the hitching post and I was lucky to be able to be part of it...here are some pics I took for her..

Boone got some new "Jam's"

2010-01-28T08:37:00.001-08:00

His Favorite Buzz and Woody...and he calls them his Jam's instead of jammies.. So long story short he tries to wear them every night...

So here's to a new me!

2010-01-21T09:33:00.000-08:00

So every time I am watching TV, I see all these gorgeous women and I have this mindset wow I could look like them. Then I get on this crazy kick for about a month where I am watching what I eat and I actually lose a couple pounds. But then I go back to my horrible ways. So I decided to make a healthy get fit/healthier list with some motivation (this summer) and put it on my fridge and post it on here for some support!

Where is goes by week one, two, three and so on...this week it says to write down everything you eat to get to know your habits and problem times. SO here is goes!!!

It also says to come up with an amount you'd like to lose..I would like to lose 10 pounds a healthy 10 or more pounds which includes toning and shaping my legs and tummy. I am currently 140 so I would go to a 130-129.

NEXT!---
So, your homework (oh, dear!) for this next week is to write down everything you eat and drink, the amounts and time of day, with no critical self-judgments (that’s part of the work), as you finish off the Christmas cookies. This is a great exercise to do whether you want to lose weight or not, as it allows you to see what is going into your mouth and being turned into fuel and nutrients. Be mindful to chew slowly, at least fifty times for each bite (now there’s a challenge). Then meet me back here, journal in hand, in one week’s time...

HERE WE GO!!!!

GOT A JOB!!

2010-01-14T08:55:00.001-08:00

Yay so I applied for a job Monday evening for a deli/barista position at Safeway and within a half an hour the lady called and asked for me to come into an interview the next morning. I was super psychic! So 9:00am Tuesday morning I went in for an interview and did a fantastic job even she told me she had a good feeling about me. Then that afternoon she called and offered me the job and wanted me to come in for training Wed. I was like awesome of course! So training went as well as computer training can go an I start actually hands on training Friday morning...YAY finally things are slowly falling into their spots. Whew...so I have my schedule for the next week...and taxes are coming in soon and we can get a couple new things we need around here and it's really just finally starting to feel less tense finally. Like I can breath without feeling like I am suffocating. Today we have a play date with my friend Kim and her son Preston at Chucky E Cheese Boone's never been before so it should be interesting. Then just home to hang out and prepare for the weekend!!

I forgot to mention I am about to buy my NICKELBACK, SHINEDOWN tickets for May 5th!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooooo stoked!!!!! I am also planning my trip to my sister's graduation in May in Tennesse I am excited to go over there because I haven't seen her in 3 years and plus I have never been to Tennesse maybe I can get a Tennesse shirt cause I love me some girls Basketball plus they are a great team!! Especially since Angie Borklan is going to school there and a starter and she's from right here in Spokomton! Umm other than that nothing new in my life...I am planning boone's 2nd birthday (sniff sniff) he is growing way too fast. And then my birthday is over spring break so maybe we could do something fun for that as well.

Well I am outta here to go get dressed and ready for the day..Have a great week!

Best of 2009

New Year's Pics and Plans

2010-01-05T09:03:00.001-08:00

Here are some pictures from New Year's at Zack's Brother's house we played games and had some drinks..it was alot of fun! Here are some pics I was able to snap and do some editing too..

Also I found on another blog I follow this awesome list of stuff I plan to accomplish this year and I want you to post things as well..here is goes!

this year I will:

1. Learn that it's okay to say "no" sometimes, but also challenge myself to say "yes" to things I wouldn't normally do.
2.Cook more, and come up with a signature dish.
3.Once again reach and maintain my ideal weight, but love myself continually along the way.
4.Worry less and try not to let as much stress into my life.
5. Read 100 books.
6. Keep in better touch with my family and make more time for my friends (even when life is awfully busy).
7. Actively work towards being getting my photography business going by the end of the year (having business cards, website and clients.)
8. Stop drinking pop.
9. Start school by be Sept.
10.wear bright colors.
11.do all I can to maintain a happy, giggly, safe & cozy, loving relationship with my boyfriend.
12. Eat more greens.
13. Buy more flowers.
14. Actively work towards being an even better mother to my son.
15. Be brave.
What will you do this year?

(I've decided that resolutions don't have to be huge, life-changing things. They can be as small as deciding to buying a new outfit to changing your hairstyle. And I may do both. You know, for the record.)

Had a great day

2009-12-16T08:29:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I was really down in the dumps..I have been going through soooo much it's like one thing after another. I have been waiting and trying every morning to get a job and then it's a waiting game to hear back from someone...anyone.. well my friend Kim who I hadn't met yet but just talked over Blogs, and Facebook, shot out a text saying hey lets get some Starbucks and go take the boys to play in the snow it sounds like you could use something to perk your day up. (It was something along those lines) Well she certainly knew exactly what I needed, being trapped in our small apartment trying to keep my 21 month year old busy without going insane from stress. So she came and picked us up..being as we don't have a snow vehicle, and we went and got french fries for the boys and coffee for the us and let them run around for awhile talking and just getting to know each other. It was really nice to have someone my own age that is a mom and now is hopefully becoming a great friend. We made plans to have a cookie date before Christmas and I am very excited for Boone to be building a friendship and me as well..I took some good shots and here they are!

Me Favorite!

SO I'M BACK...Again!

2009-12-10T12:56:00.000-08:00

It's been a interesting year to say the least..wow..but to end this month and a not so great year..I am back together with Zack my fiance who have been off and on as you know the past 4 years now. But I have done some growing up this summer and I still have alot of stuff I need to work on as well as him. But I decided this is what I want I want my family and his family back. His family has been closer and nicer and shown me more love than my own family has. I regret putting Zack and his family through everything. But on the upside we are working through things and it's really for the better.

I AM SOOOO excited it's Christmas time..this is my absolute favorite time of the year! I love it...I have already attempted to make sugar cookies and they didn't turn out :( so I am open for all suggestions on the best recipe to use...in fact I think I am going to look up something to make this afternoon keep me busy because I know I have far to much baking supplies to know what to do with...Well have a great Thursday..The Office is on tonight yay...I will take pics and show you how my stuff turned out.

Update

2009-10-17T19:39:00.000-07:00

I took Boone to the doctor and turns out it ISN'T chickenpox...BUT it is hives from a viral infection from when he was sick. So I have to give him Benedryll :( and it makes it go away but on the downside it also makes him SUPER sleepy and drugged up I hate it..SO I haven't been giving him the whole dose just a little of it and it's been working. I went hunting today for the first time THAT was fun..we got up at 4:30 got the bags in the car, got the kids up and to the sitter (my bf's parents) then we got up to the place got the 4-wheelers unloaded and away we went in the 43 degree weather in the dark..SCARY..we parked and there was a TON of people up there so we parked and hiked a little ways and sat there and I was trying to eat and apple and my bf kept saying shhhh we are hunting and he would laugh at me and we sat and whispered and till the sun came up then we walked around some more and found deer poop and analyzed it lol..and then went back to the 4-wheelers and rode down the mountain to the truck. Where I got his rifle and another gun for the first time..it was scary but I think it's safe to say I am going to be packin next year and bringing a deer home myself..I liked it.

Wow time flys

2009-10-15T07:33:00.000-07:00

I know this has been long overdue especially since I miss it soo dang much. But wow another corner another change..well I have met a new guy he is straight out a fairytale..old fashion and sweet, caring, and only wants to make me happy. He writes me little notes in the morning and sends me texts knowing I will get them when I wake up. It's going really really well. He even has a son a month and a half younger than Boone and its been going great having them together. He is a very family oriented guy and I feel like I met my match. I am currently working a job as an office assistant but this week I have been taking care of a sick son which in turn got me sick. So now I am the sick one and he is slowly recovering. I took him into the doctor yesterday because he developed bumps all over which turned into patches and I couldn't figure out what it was from..I mean all over his body. Turns out the doc says its really bad hives cause from his viral infection. SO she wrote a prescription for benedryll and i gave him some last night and it made him pass out I hate it and it hasn't helped with the hives at all. So I will give it a couple more days and see what happens. Other than that..I love this time of year and decorating and the crisp air, the pumpkin and spice smells, the holidays, the activities to do with kids, just the overall happiness you get from what is to come. I am super excited...well have a great Thursday..Glad to be back!

Some new photography updates!!

2009-08-24T13:57:00.001-07:00

Low key is the way to BE!

2009-08-17T10:48:00.000-07:00

This weekend was just hanging at home. We have started a ritual where we take Boone to the park every Sunday all together and let him play and run around for an hour or so. Saturday we went to an Indians game but it got rained out. And Friday I went and saw Harry Potter the Half Blood Prince, I thought they went through it fast and skipped a couple key essential things. But hey what can ya do...now I wanna go see G.I. Joe rise of the Cobra's. I need to get to the library as well so I can read the Time Traveler's Wife, as well as catch on up on some books I wanted to read I made a list of like 15-20 different titles I've came across on other people's blogs that look good. I printed out some pics that I edited with my camera and they came out excellent now I am going to make them bigger so I can put them up around the house! Well I feel really unproductive and like a bum..so I am going to go do bum things...cough nothing cough....

Alittle bit of life...

2009-08-14T14:09:00.000-07:00

So I went to the Shinedown concert and it was AWESOME...I was front and center in the mosh pit and screamed my ass off...and the bass player Eric Bass even pointed at me!!! I almost was able to wrangle a drumstick but a punk kid next to me (who didn't know a single Shinedown song) snatched it before I could reach it. ANYWHO...it was awesome to say the least... Tonight I am going to go see Harry Potter but am debating whether to go see The Time Traveler's Wife.. I don't think I am in a sad love story mood today...plus I am a way bigger Harry Potter Fan...So looks like I need to go back next weekend or something because I also want to see G.I Joe The rise of the Cobra...I love going to the movies.. But on the other side of life, I had a interview on Wednesday and I think it went rather well. It was at Weldon Barbers and it's a pretty ritzy male barber where they use hot towels and do head massages and everything. I will hear back from Abbie this coming week CROSS YOUR FINGERS...and I have an interview on Tuesday for a receptionist position with a financial investor company...so wish me luck! My life hasn't been to exciting lately, I am still taking pictures but am lacking the motivation right now to do some editing. I started working on my Fantasy Football team and my players I want to get..I am the only girl in Zack's league and he has some big shots so I hope I can beat them and at least place 1, 2 or 3 they all get money...but it would be awesome just to beat them and have them thinking man I got beat by a girl...bawhahaha..well enough rambling..here is a video from the concert enjoy!

TUESDAY IS THE DAY

2009-08-09T08:51:00.001-07:00

I am going to a concert on Tuesday call "Stimulate this Tour" it includes---Staind, Chevelle, Shinedown, Halestrom and Lo Pro....I am mainly going for Staind and Shinedown...but it should be AWESOME...I've never been to a rock concert before!!! So look for pictures to come..

Many a more

2009-08-06T08:22:00.000-07:00

So this past week after my wake boarding accident Zack and I got on the phone and talked for about 4 hours..we both told each other how much we missed everything about one another. From the big things all the way down to the smallest things no one else would understand. We decided we wanted to see each other and if there was still that spark and if we still felt comfortable around each other and lastly to see if we wanted to make another go at being us again. I came over and spent this whole last week from the 27th-1st here in Spokane and everything went perfectly we were each other again...something I realized that I don't want to be without ever. A summary of Zack and I goes if problems come up I tend to bottle them up and let them get worse and Zack is always the one who wants to talk about stuff but doesn't necessarily understand when stuff is wrong. Then we both tend to get to comfortable and stop putting the effort into making it work. So instead of making it work together and working through the problem whatever it might be we (better yet me) decide we are both better off not together...then I leave and we talk about everything then we end of back together and this has happened about...4 times in the past 4 years. You think we would of learned...but this is the final time we both have decided this is end all...we are going to end of married!

On another note I have been taking pictures and doing edits with my new program that I LOOOOVVVEEEEE called Adobe Lightroom 2...it's AWESOME... here are some before and afters...

So Sunday it was wondrous out..Beautiful day for being out on the lake..the day started out just perfect..got on the water at 11:00..started tubing right away..then we got to Anderson beach in Vantage a beach that everyone pulls up too..and I wanted to go wake boarding so I went out on a different boat with some friends. I got strapped in and was all excited everything felt PERFECT..I got up first try like always swung out to the side to come in to jump the wake...was going smoothly..I went and jumped it didn't feel right and my board caught the water I went forward and crashed (sure I'm use to it everyone crashes) well I didn't feel it right away but the board came back and hit me in the head and I came up gushing blood from a cut on my right temple. I didn't know I was bleeding mind you...everyone on the boat freaked out and said "oh my god Nicole you are bleeding get over here" I put my hand up and felt it and usually this is where I FREAK I hate blood and cuts..you know what I did..I laughed and couldn't stop laughing..they thought something was wrong with me. So I got pulled up on the boat and bandaged up and what sucked is the rest of the day out there every time I got in the water I started gushing again and everyone freaked. So we called it a day and went home by then I had a HUGE headache and was really really tired. I got home and my mom saw and flipped she made me go into the er and sure enough I had a pretty good concussion cause I wasn't making sense and delirious and plus it was a gaping hole on my temple so I got 4 stitches 24 hour watch to make sure I will wake up and no driving for a couple days... NOW as of today I have a swollen right side and a black eye that keeps getting worse and a headache...and I only got to jump once..that SUCKS!

But any who..on another note..my ex Zack who I broke up with in April..have been talking alot and we decided we wanted to give it another try and work through things together and I am really excited! I have never felt for anyone like I do for Zack..we have a connection I have never felt with anyone else..he knows me better then anyone even my mother. He has always loved me and I have never doubted that at all...we just had our rough patches but everyone goes through those..It's the ones who can work through them together to fix things that make it and then there are those who give up and walk away like I have done..but I realized I still love him and want to make things better...so wish us luck..I'll definitely be blogging more and moving back to Spokane here within the next month yay!!

My black eye on Tuesday!

I got it done!

2009-07-25T08:19:00.000-07:00

I got my Monroe done what do you think?

Wow...life is definitely a rollar coaster

2009-07-25T08:00:00.000-07:00

Well hello fellow bloggers I have returned and am wiping the dust off me right now as I pick myself up off the floor. I feel like this is a regular thing for me...life kicks me down alot..recently I had major issues with a guy! After getting out of a horrible relationship and hanging out and seeing what life has to offer I made a commitment about a month ago to this guy and everything started out great then spiraled downward when he just wasn't putting in the effort and I was fed up and the night before he is suppose to leave for Vegas I leave the bar because he wasn't picking up my hints and me telling him I wanted to go home and since I LEFT I am the bad guy and I go home crying because he won't talk to me or want to find out why I am upset...he then leaves for Vegas the next day and doesn't talk to me for 4 days then last night randomly texts me and I was SO upset that I let my friend handle it and tell him off....god why is it I find these guys...that I become attached to and they just don't give a fuck! I mean I took a big chance especially having a son and being new to dating again and he knew this..but he still stomped on my heart...and still he doesn't even act like he is hurt what so ever..or care that I am hurt...how can he be so calm? I thought we were getting serious but I guess not...and I wish I just knew answers...who I am suppose to be with??..when do I find him and if I have found him then please tell me what am I suppose to do???..My head is going in a million different directions..and on top of that my ex of 4 years my baby's daddy..is in a new relationship and in love and openly expressing it all over the place..I had to delete my Myspace to escape it..and now I have to worry about my son and this new girl my ex is trying to push into the situation...man life can be so cruel sometimes..but hey you have pick yourself up every time and dust yourself off...and keep moving forward or else you will lay there and people will continue to walk on you..its things like this that make us stronger and able to approach new situations better...

Random ramblings of compulsiveness

2009-06-22T20:58:00.000-07:00

So...I just got Boone back from a long 5 days with his father..WOW..I missed him so much it feels like he learns something new every time he is away and like I miss out on it..or he has grown years and I am like wow where did my baby go!??! Other than that..I am looking for a car..something affordable and reliable...=) And lastly I am so up and down with my guy life..there are guys who like me and I don't like them, or there are guys that like me and I like them but it's not the right timing, or there are guys I like and I am unsure of what to do. It's so confusing and all at the same time the right guys for my situation aren't the guys I particularly like or feel that feeling for. Then the ones I kinda do aren't the right fit for my situation. It's like can I just go and create the perfect match for me with all the little things from each one?? I need the perfect package and having someone who is only part of the perfect package for my situation isn't going to work...

I'm on a boat!

2009-06-16T21:04:00.000-07:00

Today I went boating with a bunch of friends and it was Boone's first time on a boat in his sweet life vest! He had a blast and went swimming and we ate chips and hamburgers and yeah it was a blast. He is pooped...and crashed out when we got home.. I went wake boarding and tubing and of course I was the first one to go..everyone else was chicken! So I got on and owned it she couldn't shake me it was awesome! Then I went wake boarding and it was me and my other friend who did it everyone else didn't want to. I hit the wake a little and then finally got some air..other then that I have the week off and work Saturday..I take Boone to Spokane tomorrow to spend time with his daddy and I am going to be lost without him!

In other news Hoopfest is coming up in a week and a half..I am super excited to beat down some girls! It's going to be a hot sweaty mess! It will be fun though to go out and have some fun downtown since I haven't had the chance to ever go out and hit up the bars in Spokane.

I was out taking pictures last night trying to get a good shot of the moon and got some really cool pictures of lights scattered all over the place. I am going to be out shooting this week so I hope I can upload them on here properly for you to access them.

Lastly everything is going great with my "friend" we hang out all the time..and it's been so nice spending time with him and I will admit I am developing feelings for him and I hope they continue to grow. I am not sure what the next step is or where it will go..but I certainly think about him constantly throughout the day and miss him when I am not around him. SO sigh....I shall take my leave and get some rest I am beat

Tired and Wired

2009-06-14T09:35:00.000-07:00

I am at work and totally running on 3 hours of sleep...imagine that! Yesterday was graduation and I was really happy for all my friends who accomplished this huge achievement. It made me feel like a bum though because I have taken a break from school and I have about 4-5 quarters left till I get my photography degree. Right now isn't the best time in my life to go back to school with trying to get on my feet and find a good full time job to support myself and Boone. So once I "get my eggs in a basket" lol I will be able to assess where I am at and if I can handle taking classes again to finish. I was thinking about starting in the Fall and maybe taking like 1 or 2 classes and go from there...it's definitely something to keep in mind. Other then that I went out with friends to celebrate them graduating and I had alot of fun..I almost missed work this morning though because my alarm didn't go off for some reason I had ti set for 6 and it went off at 6:45 so I dressed and then made it to work 5 mins late. I was suppose to be there at 7..opps! So I am excited for hoopfest in two weeks it should be alot of fun! I have been playing basketball during the week at the college and playing pickup games with older guys and my friend who is on my team. It should definitely be interesting to say the least! Well I better get back to work...one last thing..I am craving a piercing or something different a change..and I was thinking about getting my lip pierced like off to the side or my monroe pierced

Here is the monroe I had this done once..

And this is what the lip would look like only with a diamond...

Which one do you think?

Yesterday amazingly enough I was able to get an iphone and trade back I'm the phone I originally got! So I'm super super psyched about it...other then that I haven't been working that much sadly I need to almost her another job cause this just isn't working..what's so scary about our economy right now is the job market yesterday we had 10 people come in and apply for a parttime serving job. A mean 10 people for just a parttime job that's nuts how is anyone suppose to survive ? It wouldn't be so bad if it was just me but I have B man too.

What if I want to call in sick to life?

2009-06-09T06:50:00.000-07:00

So today was suppose to be a very sleep filled morning and then quiet alone time while my son enjoyed playing with other kids at my friends daycare. I got a private call at about 6:15 and she cancelled on me claiminga kid had pink eye that was at her house yesterday. SIGH ok thanks Mckenzie of course I wouldn't want him to get pink just so I could get a couple hours of sleep. Ok I will see you in the morning..So Sadly I am no longer going to get some sleep and on top of that I am freezing..I hate waking up cold..it reminds me of camping..you go to bed so warm then get the sweats and wake up freezing and your sweat is like ice now...So Been awake over an hour and yeah I wanna call in sick to life and take a personal day..if only.

Well its tuesday and I hope your mornings are better then mine..but in all actualality it hasn't been that bad!

Later Loves

I have never been one to have patience that is for sure. But when you become a mother it is the biggest quality you must acquire and thereafter sustain. I have recently begone to question my patience because lately it has become harder to sustain them when dealing with an adventurous exploring 15 month old. I have also been working which is a new thing since I was a stay at home mom and student the past year. It feels so good to be independent again and feel like I am fulfilling something and taking care of myself. Boone has grown so much the past months and I always worry about him and going to visit his dad every other weekend and what he is going to grow up like or think about this all will he want to leave me to go live with his dad when he is like 8 or 9. It's so scary to think he could get mad and say I want to live with dad or I hate you mom dad I want dad. My heart will literally break if he ever said that to me. I know he would never mean it but those things could happen. Or what if he wonders why I am always gone when I go to work...these things are always worrying me I want him to grow up knowing how much I love him and did all this for him! But this is why they say being a mom/parent is the hardest thing in the world. Well I am off to heat up some home made chicken and dumplings for the only man in my life!

2009-06-08T16:02:00.000-07:00

Ok so I haven't been blogging in forever it feels like..and decided today after looking at my blog I realized man I miss it. So I am back now and will be updating regularly...So the lastest is...I am living in Ellensburg with my mom and her fiance..I work at the Quality Inn as a wonderful "Front Desk Associate"...the joys of working with people.. Boone is doing awesome..he see his dad on a regular basis and I am trying to figure out who I am and what I am suppose to be doing as a person, mother, daughter and friend. I have reconnected with some old friends and it has been so nice hangin out with them and being able to be myself. I am continuing with pictures but had to take a small break with all the changes..I will have some new ones up soon! I am hoping to move into an apartment by the end of this month and then take the next steps there in becoming independent.

Once again

2009-05-21T06:43:00.000-07:00

So I moved back to washington..I felt it was a better decsion for Boone in the long run. He needs his dad around and the rest of our family. I made a very unselfish decision..So now I am in Ellensburg at my mom's house..wondering what my next step in life is...I need a job, a place to live, and a life..so what's my next step?

A very eventful week

2009-05-11T19:56:00.000-07:00

So today I found a daycare I really like and I have to finish setting everything up tomorrow.. I am so nervous about putting him in daycare because he has never been in one before. Plus I have been with him for over a year straight and it will be hard being away from him during the day while I am at work. SAD... the first week is going to be the hardest tears will come for sure. So wish me luck please because this will probably be the toughest week of my life!! Well hope everyone had a wonderful mother's day I am off to get some much much much needed sleep!!! YAWN

Update

2009-05-09T18:23:00.000-07:00

So everything is going really good here in Delaware... I have been taking pictures..I got an awesome shot the other day of a carpenter bee on a flower bush. I also got a job as a supervisor for Starbucks and should be able to start this next week!!! YAY oh and on top of that I just reserved a apartment at a place called the reserve I will post pics very soon...it's so nice it is the nicest place I have ever lived!!! So I move in there next weekend..umm...Boone has started blowing kisses it's so cute..and he is still adjusting but it has gotten better! OH one thing about the new apartment the bedrooms are HUGE!!! Like Boone's room is going to be bigger then most living rooms...it's insane and really ridiculous..but hey I will have to work with it..the apartment is a 2 bedroom 2 bath and 1200 sq feet!!! AAAMAZING...I can't wait to get pics up so off I go to upload...Have a great weekend!

A little update

2009-05-01T08:49:00.000-07:00

For any who are wondering since I have gotten emails and texts, I have had a life changing experience. My fiancée and I broke up (no sympathy please) it was coming to an end either way. But the there is positive I have moved and decided to start a new life in a completely new state. Boone and I have moved to Delaware and are eager to start building our new life here. SO thanks for being patient while I get all this figured out!!

Oh breasts

2009-04-24T18:30:00.001-07:00

Dear My Breasts,

I'm not sure if you received the earlier memo, so I wanted to send out a letter to touch base.

Your purpose has recently changed. Hopefully you understand what this now means for you.

No longer are you around to provide nourishment or to fill an empty belly. Now your sole purpose is to appear attractive. If you would perk up a little bit it would be greatly appreciated. A little goes a long way. One would think that now that you only have to hang out and look pretty you would in fact be quite perky about your new lack of responsibility, but alas you don't seem the feel that way. And your lack of perkiness is really starting to take a toll on me.

Remember the good ole' days? When I used to let you roam freely in a halter or tube top? We could get back to that if you would only cooperate. I'm willing to put the last almost two years behind us and begin again. But it's going to take some effort on your part.

I hope that we can continue to have a loving and beautiful relationship with one another, but that will not happen if you continue to have such a droppy attitude. Bring back the perkiness that I used to appreciate, please. That is all.

Just a thought

2009-04-23T16:06:00.000-07:00

I always think of this quote from, Garden State:

"You'll see when you move out - it just sort of happens one day, and it's just gone.
And you can never get it back. It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exist.
I mean, it's like this rite of passage, you know.
You won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself,
you know, for your kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something.
I miss the idea of it. Maybe that's all family really is.
A group of people who miss the same imaginary place."

I do feel homesick for a place that doesn't exist. Because, in reality, things will never be just the way I want them to be.

Life's twist and turns

2009-04-22T14:52:00.000-07:00

So does anyone really know what they want in life. Once you think you have something spectacular or perfect then something comes along and throws in a speed bump or pothole which then throws you off course mind boggled. I am not sure what I am getting at. But just curious does anyone else feel this way at times..

Just another day..

2009-04-21T11:29:00.000-07:00

I am so IN LOVE with my new camera I would love to make a spot in bed for it..and sleep with it lol...it is awesome. I am still figuring out RAW and Jpeg so I have a some good pictures from the park yesterday but can't put them on here because it is a RAW image and I haven't figured out how to manage them yet. So I will be doing both a Jpeg and Raw. From what I understand RAW is better picture quality so I want that for sure you can't edit them as easily though so I need to do JPEG first I think and correct any mistakes then go from there.

Any who..school is going good I developed another roll last night (all by myself) and some turned out some didn't..I was practicing messing with my exposure so..no worries but there aren't any pictures I really like on the roll but one of a tree and it's bare branches so I think I will print that tonight in the darkroom. Man it's awesome taking this class!! I can't wait for next quarter and get some digital experience under my belt!

Today we are going to the park again WHO WOULDN'T in 80 degree weather..hopefully I can pick up a tan ;) But I want to get the kids out to play and take some more pictures. I think it's more I want to take pictures (is that wrong) then take them to play. But hey I gotta practice or how will I make money down the road and be GREAT! I want to open a business doing this and make great prints and take even better pictures ya know..capture that moment! Anyway the sky is the limit...so cheers!

IT'S HERE

2009-04-20T13:06:00.000-07:00

Finally!!! I feel so exhilarated..like I can take on the world and capture EVERYTHING..I am so excited to read the manuel and get to shooting!!

Sunny Fun this weekend

2009-04-20T08:42:00.001-07:00

We went to the Park on Saturday and Boone played with chalk for the first time it was funny..he thought he needed every single piece in his hand and then he started eating it and got it on his face. I have my sister visiting this week with us and she had fun at the park with us!! We also went to the breast cancer Race for the cure on Sunday and she was so so excited about it she kept saying she was going to be in a pink parade so we made cute shirts and went and walked for a mile. IT was fun and rewarding supporting people who had or have breast cancer!

In other news my camera is suppose to be here today will post when it gets here and we are also going to the park again today so I will have pictures for you tomorrow.. ENJOY THE SUN TODAY!

A great little spot I found

2009-04-17T22:58:00.000-07:00

I found this little spot on the way home while out walking and it is so perfect the sun hits it just right mid day and once I get my camera you will see alot of pictures from this little park. The stream is cute and has a spot at the end that is flat where the water goes right around I think it's very cute nestled amongst the big hospitals and buildings. SO enjoy the photos...Oh and the wonderful weather this weekend you know I will have pictures coming

Here are a couple shots

2009-04-16T13:28:00.001-07:00

These are what my negatives turned out like I did them all on my own (so proud) first roll from a dark room!!!

MCP photo contest...I wanna win

2009-04-16T11:31:00.000-07:00

So I am entering a picture done on my older camera to possibly win a canvas wrap which I am currently obsessed with... so here is a photo I thought would be so awesome to hang up...it's a picture of my son..from Manito park posing for momma..he is so cute..the second one below was a thought but I think I like the first one better... anyways I entered over at MCP actions I love their site they have taught me so much..and this contest is totally awesome!

Good marrow

2009-04-16T06:45:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone..I am so excited to announce I did my first exposure of negatives in the school darkroom last night in class and they came out PERFECT. I will take a picture of the negs in my sleeve and post on here later!!!!!! I am so tickled (if that's the right word) to be going into this profession it just keeps growing with every little creative idea you could possibly have. The sky is the limit because you can use your imagination for everything...I am going to be taking pictures today and then maybe going to the dark room again tomorrow or Monday and using the darkroom again...IT is so much fun to know hey I did that and not alot of people can just go in and understand this whole procedure. But any who I am off to class and then enjoying the day with my SON!! I miss everyone and sorry I haven't been posting!!!

I am back..

2009-04-13T10:41:00.000-07:00

Wow I haven't posted in fooorrreeevvver...Ok so I finished my first week of school back and got over my terrible stomach bug. AND I am still nursing my poor little man back to health after he caught a cough and nasty nose from his cousins (where he always gets it). I got some great pictures from Easter as well. We went to Zack's moms house in Davenport and had the whole family there and went on a egg hunt with the kids and it was Boone's first time participating (tear) I can't believe how fast he is growing. Let's see...oh I got into a fight on Friday evening with Zack's brother a shooting fight because FIRST you need to know a little about this guy...he thinks he is always right and women are always wrong..he likes to say comments like women belong in the kitchen and don't know anything about sports ext...well he also thinks he is knows everything and that he is never in the wrong..here is a picture so you have picture of what and who I am talking about...

OK so anyways we are dishing up dinner and Zack goes and sits down at the table and goes hey babe did you give Boone some cough medicine..and before I could answer josh (Zack's brother) chimes in and goes what cough medicine what's it called (with an attitude like wait a min you can't give babies cough medicine) and I said no not yet babe..(this whole time Boone is having a coughing attack) I was getting him some dinner. SO Zack's uncle walks in and chimes in you can't give babies cough syrup..then Zack's mom goes don't worry about it..then Zack's uncle leaves and josh is still asking questions what is it..let me see it and I said "well I guess I am not a mom" because I told him it's children's Tylenol and I have the proper dosage from my doctor to give him mind you. And when I said my comment he yelled at me "shout your mouth" and I got PISSED and I shouted back no don't talk to me like that, and he said shout your mouth Nicole I am not talking to you and I said well we weren't talking to you and you piped up and butted in. And he said no I started talking to my brother and I said well this doesn't concern you and he said no it doesn't concern you and I yelled back anything with MY son concerns me and I will chime in WHENEVER I want to and there's nothing you can do about it. And then he changed his attitude and changed everything he was talking about and acted like he wanted to find out what we give Boone so he could give it to his girls (the ones who always get Boone sick) and I said bull shit josh you wanted to pipe up and tell us we were doing something bad and try to be super parent. You don't know shit so don't say shit! And I walked away still just pissed...

But the thing with josh is he is always like that he thinks he can shout at you and you will be submissive to him and he can say whatever he wants and treat people however he wants and I WILL not be treated like that I have dealt with his shit like that for 3 years now and ya know what NOT HAVING IT! And I hope he realizes now I am going to stand up against him and I don't care if he pouts like a baby about it for months. BUt I am the only one to ever stand up to him and I surprised zack and his mom they were trying to break us up the whole time. SO yeah I had to get that off my chest now for Easter pictures lol..

ER VISIT

2009-04-08T19:09:00.000-07:00

So I woke up this morning at 3 with a horrible stomach ache and ended up vomiting...afterwards I felt better so I went back to bed but woke up at 6 and was really nauseous again and got up and ended up vomiting again at 8:30 and again at 9:30 so I decided (against my better judgement) to go to the ER to see what was going on...we were there for 4 hours before being seen in that time I vomited 3 more times in the bathroom...when we were finally seen they gave me an IV and some fluids cause I was dehydrated and also some queasy medicine to make me feel better we were there for another 4 hours and just got home...ick..with nothing but a paper saying rest and fluids because I have a bad stomach bug and I was dehydrated!!! ICK I hate needles I almost passed out...and I MISSED SCHOOL TODAY DAMN IT!

On another note Boone is doing really good his eyes have cleared up really well..and his nose isn't snotty green (thank god).

School starts on Monday I have mixed feelings about it..I don't want to wake up early but I want to go to school..I also don't want to be away from B but you have to at some point plus it will be good for him to spend some time away from me too..

Today on the agenda we gotta go grocery shopping and get some bibs, toilet paper and sippy cups! Wish me luck!

Frustrated beyond belief

2009-04-02T15:24:00.000-07:00

Ok..so Tuesday my son woke up with a crusty eye and I was like GREAT another thing..another damn sickness..well yesterday it moved to both his eyes so I made an appt. We went in today and he has a ear infection in his right ear and pink eye in both his eyes. I want to scream..I am SOOOOO sick of him being sick..he breastfeeds too so he isn't suppose to be sick so much..he has constantly had a green icky nose for the past 3 months it may go away for a couple days but comes RIGHT back. Just alittle bit ago I talked to my dad just to ask a question and he goes anything else new and I told him about Boone and he goes in a gruff kinda irritated voice " he sure is sick alot" and I go OK, yeah he is dad cause every time I get him better he goes around our nieces and gets sick again or gets around other kids and gets sick. There's nothing I can do about it. He goes yeah I guess not...

WHAT THE FUCK...honestly you go and tell me or accuse me that he sure is sick all the time. What exactly is that suppose to mean??? Am I a bad mom because my son can't stay healthy...what was he trying to imply??? That just put me in a foul mood I am already pissy because he has an ear infection and pink eye..am I suppose to keep him in a bubble..the doctor said it's going around he he could of picked it up ANYWHERE...well lets see...grocery store...walmart....anywhere we have been this week.. give me a break...don't question me about my son like I had any choice about him getting this.

I am so frustrated and sick to death of him being sick!

Are you flipping kidding me

2009-04-02T06:41:00.000-07:00

I am partaking in I Heart Faces/ Fix it Fridays where they give you an image and you edit it. I think it's a lot of fun to touch up and mess around with a photo trying to create something new.

BEFORE

AFTER

I messed around in Picasa and lighten it up and then I went to picnik and whitened her teeth a little..

I have lightroom 30 day trial right now till I buy it next week but I need to learn how to use it lol..

ARRRGGGG....

2009-03-27T09:42:00.000-07:00

So I am pretty sure I have an ear infection...and something wrong with my head..it hurts on the side and I can't pinpoint the area but it throbs and my ears hurt deep down inside..(hard to explain). I have no motivation to even get dressed or anything..and I am tired! On top of that my nose is stuffed up so I can't breath and..I AM SO SICK OF BEING SICK...thought I would emphasis how I felt..

On a better note. I am on book 3 yes you heard me right, I finished book 2 in one day..addicted I know...so I have something to keep me occupied while couch resting..I hope I feel better my head feels like it's going to explode!

Ants be gone~!

2009-03-26T11:59:00.000-07:00

Well I have seen 2 ants in the past 3 days...yay...I sprayed the crap out of all the corners or the house and set out 8 ant traps!!! Keep your fingers crossed cause I almost lost it the other day! On a happier note I am halfway through the second book "new moon" and I love it..I started it 20 mins before bed last night and have been reading it all morning.. I think I am getting what Zack had so I haven't been feeling real good...what a better way to spend it but reading and putting puzzle upon puzzle together with your son! Any who..I might try and go for a walk later it is simply "spectacular"! Well get out and enjoy the the sun..and if you haven't read the twilight series yet...READ IT

Good afternoon..

A new site I joined has us posting our favorite B&W photos here is one I did real quick and thought it turned out pretty good..head over to "We Picture This" and join it's an awesome site!

Vent!! (cussing...you have been warned)

2009-03-23T15:08:00.000-07:00

OK seriously I am about to rip someone a new asshole! We had new neighbors move in last week next to us and they thought it would be real fucking cool to move in at 10:00 pm at night..and were loud and yelling...grrr...needless to say Boone got woke up..well guess what today some frigging old people are moving in below us and I put Boone (tried to) down for a nap at 1:30 and he kept getting woke up and could never get fully asleep!!! Well I just NOW got him to sleep grrr...frustrated and pissed because I hate living in a damn apartment. No one has the decency to be quiet..I get so pissed...ON top of that...we have ants...not small sugar ants but big ones..and not a tone but at least 10-15 a day I have to kill....I HATE BUGS anyone who knows me knows I fucking hate bugs...and Zack keeps saying I don't want to hear there's nothing I can do..we can't bomb it cause we are here and we can't spray everywhere cause we are here!!! So until we can be gone for a day then we have to deal with it..and now Boone is up again what was that 5 mins...I am losing my damn mind...this is suppose to me my time to unwind...seriously if I see another damn ant....I'm going to break something...I wish we could buy house right now..perfect time to do it but we just don't have the money..which is so frustrating as well..I am sick of worrying about damn money and feeling like I am spending "zacks" money and not ours..and feeling like I am not contributing...grrr...ok enough

Ok update...member how I just said if I see another ant I will freak well I just saw 10...there was 5 klumped up on my cupboard so I went and opened all of them and another couple came out of those then 3 were coming down the wall by the sink...HONESTLY come on!!!!! I do not have a dirty house what so ever..I don't get it...I am so pissed.....grrrrrrrr

So the party yesterday for Boone was a huge success..Everyone showed up and actually a few that weren't going to did..Like my mom!! I was alittle nervous to have her over but everything went really well..she just had surgery about two weeks ago but was able to make it..and I really appreciated her putting in the effort..she hadn't seen Boone since he was about 4 months old so..it was long overdue. She is going to try and come over every other weekend or something. Then eventually when I feel comfortable enough we will go visit her. She is doing good so it seems and I am surprised and happy. Boone got tons of toys, I will take some pictures tomorrow..I am dead yesterday wore me out and then I came home and cleaned the house, did the laundry, went and got dinner, then like an idiot stayed up till 1 watching point break lol...then I was back up at 7 am..so right now I SHOULD be taking a nap...so I will edit some pictures tonight from manito get those up and take some ones of his toys and get some birthday pictures up!

Good Morning

2009-03-20T06:58:00.001-07:00

Well this is the first time I am up before 7 ick..but I better get use to it..my school schedule starting in April is 7:30-8:30 class then go pick up B and come home to watch a little guy the same age as B. Then class online whenever and lastly another class from 6:30-8:30....so I am going to be busy..but it will be good for me to get out of the house...I am going to miss B though I won't get to help with baths at night..hopefully I can get him to stay up a little later and I can be there for when he goes to bed..we will have to see if I can get his schedule to change.

YAY today is the first day of SPRING!!!! YES....not sure if that is suppose to me it will be warm from now on and is required to but hey it's officially spring...meaning beautiful flowers should be out soon...and you better believe I will be out capturing those pictures!

Today it is suppose to be 58 degrees which is warm for what we have had around here so I think Boone and I might go up to manito this time and play...pictures to come later

I LOVE THIS SONG! Just alittle something to get your morning going...he..he..he

Here are some edits...

2009-03-19T20:14:00.000-07:00

Keep in mind that this is from an older camera...so I will have some fantastic pictures in a month!! But tell me what you think so far?? would you want my services..I have a certain look to my pictures..but if you think something might look good in Black and White hit me up and tell me...

I love this weather

2009-03-19T14:39:00.000-07:00

So little man and I went to the park again today..I needed to get some exercise/sunshine. And I thought boone could burn off some energy...here are some fun pictures I took..more to come when I get done having fun with them ha...ha...ha :)

I love this one..it looks cool..

He decided he wanted to eat some dirt the little devil

And he wouldn't keep the bark out of his mouth..

Look at his hair flying up lol...

The all time question

2009-03-18T21:57:00.001-07:00

OK this is what I want to know...why is it men get off so easy from the wonders of the world that wreak havoc on us women???? For example...I just got out of the shower and man we have to go through all this stuff just to feel good..

Shave everything!
Makeup
Do our Hair
Feel soft--so we have to lotion everything

Plus we go through everything...carrying the children, having the children, breastfeeding the children, raising them (if you are stay at home mom), which means we go through all the changes to our bodies and all the emotional changes on top of that...such as the heart breaking cries of children in the middle of the night...the saggy BF boobs (sigh) the stretched out skin from the wonderful pregnancy experience...the hormones the constant monthly visits!! I mean come on what do they go through!!!??????? I hate taking showers sometimes...just cause I have to do all that stuff..

On top of all of that..I feel so unattractive sometimes..I love Zack more than anything but I feel he is the only one in the world that thinks I am attractive but I feel it's just out of love. I use to turn heads from guys and I just wish they would still look once an awhile so I can make my man proud and make him feel like he has something others wish they had too..ya know what I mean..or am I being selfish?? I don't know.. I am still young only 21 and I feel like I am 35..Having kids does that but I need something..inspirational or I don't know!

Frumpy mommy out......

A little game...

2009-03-18T14:52:00.000-07:00

I was taged with this wonderful award and actually my first one from my fellow friend blogger "a little bit delirious"

2. My son!!!! He is the cutest little boy I could of ever dreamed of being blessed with! He makes me laugh and smile each day..when I am feeling down I just have to look at him and it melts away. He makes me whole and worthwhile!

3. My camera that I have coming lol...I know I love it before I even have gotten it..can I do that??? Well I will love it even more..it's like I am waiting for christmas seriously..I am getting a Canon Rebel xsi...it is a pretty big investment towards my career and I can't wait to start working with it.

4. SCRAPBOOKING-----probably my favorite hobby unless you count photography. I love scrapping everything...nights out, milestones, bdays, holidays, walks to the park you name it!

5. Blogging. It has opened a whole new obsession and I'll admit I check my blog probably about 25 times a day lol I know :blush: just to see if there are any new comments or my friends have new posts!! I already said I am obsessed....

6. Going for walks. The best thing ever walking to the park and enjoying the beautiful sun..perfect time to take pictures

Spring Cleaning

2009-03-09T13:56:00.001-07:00

For the first time ever my son slept all the way through the night till 7:40 this morning IT WAS AMAZING...I woke up half way through like wait a minute what is going on here...but quickly fell back asleep. So I got up fully rested and got my coffee and got really energized, thinking about next quarter what is to come and I looked around and decided to clean my house and rearrange the apartment..so I am in the process right now of getting the entertainment center moved and the couch to the other side of the living room..and I cleaned the kitchen already..so I have Boone's room, our room and the icky bathroom..this will probably spill over to tomorrow..since I am blogging right now while Boone is napping and I already don't want to finish what I started...so off I go to finish...

Pictures to follow.

I want...I am grateful for...

2009-03-06T15:05:00.000-08:00

I want....to get married, to have a elegant outside wedding at Belle Victoria Gardens, I want to buy a house, I want to be able to garden and do all the yard work, I want to paint and build stuff in our house, I want to be a professional photographer, I want to be done with school already, I want Zack to go to school and get his dream job, I want a boob job, I want my old tummy back, I want a reliable family car, I want Boone to grow up respectively, I want Boone to sleep through the night, I want my mom to quit drinking, I want my brother and sisters to come visit me more, I want a better relationship with family and friends, etc.

I am grateful for....my wonderful fiance, my healthy son, being able to go to school, being able to stay home with my son, being able to go after my dreams, unconditional love and support from my fiance and son, my sister in law for not judging me and listening to my vents, for my family accepting me for all my flaws, for cookies ;), for god's mercy, for true love, for patience in trying times, for the inspiration my son gives me to be a better person and lastly for forgiveness!

TGIF!!

Another day

2009-03-05T14:54:00.000-08:00

I have been blog surfing trying to find inspiring photographers and I have come across "follow your art photography" and Simplicity Photography". They are amazing!! I want to become as good as they are and that is my #1 goal right now. To learn EVERYTHING I can about editing to taking exceptional pictures!

Another thing I came across today was:

Take time to play with your kids more. Silly play.

Run around with them. They love it.

Sit and cuddle your kids as much as you can.

Make sure everyone knows how much you love them.

Don't sweat the small stuff. Some things just don't matter.

They mean something, but they don't really matter.

Hold yourself accountable.

Remember everyone has a bad day once in awhile. Just like you.

Don't get offended. Assume that whomever said it, just didn't get it out right.

Give others a break. We are all fighting our own battles.

Remember that people aren't going to always remember what you said.

But they will always remember how you made them feel. Make them feel special.

Sometimes all someone needs is shoulder to cry on.

Give it to them and really listen. Don't keep your distance.

We are all suppose to be taking care of each other.

Life isn't about us, It's about everyone else.

Sometimes the simplest things to you, mean the world to someone else.

Give it to them.

Live by example.

Have Faith.

Remember......Life is Good.

Revolutionary Wednesday

2009-03-04T19:58:00.001-08:00

Today I was trying to figure myself out as a person, mother, fiance and everything really..like where am I going..what do I offer as all of those?? What am I going to do when I grow up? What am I good at?? I have always wanted to be one of those crafty, cute, intelligent, creative people..that can see a piece of green paper and imagine 500 things from it..I have the abilities but I feel like I am at a road block, where I need help to move it or I am going to simply find my own way..I want to be crafty and creative man do I have the spirit and definite will to do it..I just seem to be lacking in the idea department...lol which is what being creative is all about. So I had a discussion with my fiance last night about careers and where we see ourselves in 5 years and it was kind of an eye opener..I haven't been learning anything at school the past two years and I decided that I want to pursue something I really love and have the ambition for that I won't get burnt out on..Which is..drum roll....I am going to pursue Photography I am going to do the 2 year program and hopefully be able to intern with some great photographers around the area and get myself out there to new experiences, and I want to grow as a person and take amazing pictures..and capture moments for people..

So wish me luck!

What a wonderful day

Late night Vent

2009-03-02T23:23:00.000-08:00

You ever get in one of those moods where you need to listen to a sad song and just be sad??? Well I am in one of those moods..I am having a hard time dealing with my mom and not being part of my life or my son's life. Long story short..she is an alcoholic and has been most of my life and tends to chose that over anything else and has ruined two marriages because of it. Well she hasn't seen Boone since he was 4 months old and she showed up at my house wasted..and it literally breaks my heart thinking about how much I love her and what she could have going for her!! She is a grandma and this is her first grandchild she is letting slip away..and his first birthday is coming up and she won't be there..she doesn't even call, write or anything unless she needs something and even then I don't tell her anything about Boone because I don't think she deserves to know anything if she wanted to know she should put forth more effort..man I just don't understand how she can't even call 20-30 seconds and just tell me she loves me and Boone or ask how he is..she has missed every single milestone of his..and growing up she was never like this we meant so much more to her and she would protect her children over anything!! I don't see how we have slipped down on from her number one priority..I mean I can see she wants to be there but it's almost like she is scared or doesn't know how..I just needed to vent..you can only put this on your fiance/boyfriend so many times before they are sick of hearing it and don't understand why you feel the way you do!

What really gets me is my little brother hasn't heard from her in 2 years and he asks my dad if "mom is dead" or "why doesn't mom call me dad" he doesn't understand and he is going to grow up thinking he did something and not understand why his mom left...I just hope he won't have relationship problems..my son he has a grandma and luckly a great one who would do anything for him...Zack's mom is probably the best mom out there and an even better grandma..so I am grateful I have found such a great guy with an even better family!

I need some kind of closure I guess...or advice from friends..any little words will help!

Rainy Monday

2009-03-02T16:17:00.000-08:00

I know it may be weird but I love this kind of rainy weather..I have always wanted to move back to the Oregon Coast and live in a little town by the beach and have 5 kids and teach school! What a life! Today has been the first none stressful day in a while were I am not just about to cry at the end of the day. I got my homework done which I believe I have 2 weeks left of this quarter..I did find out today due to my stupid teacher and lack of communication rather communication problems with the people at the distant learning center I am going to fail my history class. My teacher won't let me go in and take my exam because I didn't know the library was going to be closed at 4 I thought it was 8...so...there ya go! I had a sick kid and no daycare so I couldn't go during the day what is a mother to do???? Well I will have to do some explaining to financial aid (sigh) but my son has never been more cuddling and lovey to me and that's all I could ask for. A happy baby and happy fiance!

Life can be so rewarding!

I just look into those eyes and I know I am perfect to him! And at the end of the day if he is happy so am I!!!

Sweet, Simple and Satisfying Sunday

2009-03-01T21:46:00.000-08:00

Well once again I was able to get some sleep little man woke up twice and the second time I let him fuss back to sleep so I was in and out of sleep for like an hour listening to him cry. I then got up and forgot to make some coffee so I turned on some baby einstein for him and proceeded to finish my homework that was due today. I got everything taken care of then went and played with Boone for awhile..I decided it was time for Zack to get up so we went in to find him awake in bed...Boone then decided it was time for him to take a nap so I went and put him down. We didn't do much of anything today at all, I made nachos for dinner and got some oranges and bananas at Safeway since they were on sale. I jumped on my trampoline and burned 100 calories..Amazing little contraption...

There is alittle game boone likes to play with Daddy when he gets up to do anything. Boone will take off as fast as he can run/walk to get Zack's pepsi that he leaves on the ground where he was sitting..we have always gotten him before he can get to the pop but today zack wasn't paying attention and this is what happened...

As you can see Boone won today! Luckly we have a couple ShamWow's and were able to clean it all up. Tomorrow I get to go have coffee with my Sister in law and it's a great way to start the week I like visiting with her. Boone loves to play with his cousins too.. Maybe we could host a coffee morning or visit some monday with friends from spokanemothers.com !! Then Wednesday depending on how B feels we might go to a play date from Spokanemothers.com...I am excited to meet some new friends. I believe you need to have friends in this world people you can relate to and connect with. I need some more friends in my life!

Well hope everyone has a great week! Manic Monday tomorrow!
