Feeding Herself...

Yes, you read that correctly.

As of today, Ariana is 9 months old, and rapidly becoming Miss Independant.

From feeding herself, to pulling up, she has got it going on.

Day Sixty-Two...

Hangin' w/ Mom and Dad

Mommy stayed home sick, and daddy had the day off.  So we went grocery shopping (ewww!).

Day Sixty-One...

Mr. Bed Head

He didn't want me to take his picture today. Silly boy!

Day Sixty....

Lavendar Vanilla Amazingness

Finally got to enjoy my new candle.  Lavendar Vanilla smell.  Oh. My. Gosh!!!

Soooooooooooooo freaking yummy!

Day Fifty-Nine....

Park Day

Being spoiled with more nice weather, the kids, Justin, and I all headed to the park.  Ariana LOVED the swing!

Day Fifty-Eight.....

Silly Kiddos

Ariana pulled herself onto the side table, and I just happened to snap these pics of her and Konnor playing.  CUTENESS!!!

Day Fifty-Seven....

Rain, Rain, Rain

Another rainy day in Oregon.  We have been spoiled with sun the last weekish.

Day Fifty-Six.....

It's the Photographer Again...

Did my best to salvage this crazy cell pic... With little success.. Bah.. Here you have it :)

Day Fifty-Five...

Shot Day

Daddy had to take Ariana to get shots today.  She apparently screamed bloody murder, but was seen around the house as happy as could be that evening (seen in the above picture).

Day Fifty-Four....

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Konnor is doing amazing in pre-school.

A mommy couldn't be more proud!!

Day Fifty-Three.....

Happy Birthday to Me

My mommy bought be a Pirates cake. Haha!

Day Fifty-Two....

Soaking up the Sun

Day Fifty-One...

Who's Dat??

Another crappy cell phone pic, I know.  *le sigh*

Ariana's new obsession is that baby in the mirror.  In the sliding glass door.  In the oven door (pictured here).

Yes, her new obsession is herself.

However, she doesn't realize it's her.  Not yet anyways.

Day Fifty.....

Applebee's Adventures

Ahhh, it sure is amazing how two very smart 3 year-olds can attempt a trickery such as Konnor and Kaden's this evening.

"mommy can i go to his house?" asked Konnor.  "Yeah can he?  Now or later?" Kaden added.  "Please mommy, please" Konnor pleaded, while Kaden pleaded as well.

Those two really tried to work me tonight at dinner!

Needless to say, they lost.  This mommy isn't getting suckered into anything.

They tried the same thing on my BFFFE, Jenny, but she didn't give in either. Haha.

ps, excuse the crappy quality.  Inside a restaurant + cell phone camera = crappy quality!  I did all I could but this was the best I could make it

Day Fourty-Nine....

Sick Day #2

After the doctor told us yesterday that she would be fine with time, I must admit I felt releived.

Until today.

Stress level shooting through the roof between Konnor's new inability to listen and Ariana's crying over every. little. thing.

Poor kids! Haha

Day Fourty-Eight....

The Sun is Shining!

It was an absolute gorgeous day in good ol' Portland, Oregon today.

Unfortunately, by the time Justin and I were motivated, Ariana was ready for a nap.  Being sick, we didn't want to take her out in the weather since it was rather windy.

I can not wait for Spring.  For going to the park.  For walks.

I did get a few ghetto cell phone pics, this being one of them.

Day Fourty-Seven...

The Day Alex Bought A Shiney New Toy

I know, I know, where is the new camera, right?!?!

Well, lol, Best Buy was having a kick ass deal on a new Toshiba, so I jumped on the offer.  The new camera is on temporary hold.  Soon, though, i hope.

Day Fourty-Six...

Self-Humiliation

I could find nothing better to photograph today, so here I am.  In all my yucky glory!

Haha.

Who photographs themselves? (Jenny, don't you dare say anything! lol)

Day Fourty-Five...

Happy Valentine's Day

This is what Justin got for me. :)

Sorry, that's the only preview you get.  Heehee!

I love you, babe!! Thanks for being my Sweetheart for 2010.  Here is to many more years of the same love we share.

Day Fourty-Four....

Hittin The Town In Style

For our Valentine's Day dinner, Justin and I took ourselves out to Outback (which was really Saturday night, not V-day itself).  Due to his "starvation" we hauled Ariana with us instead of having my sister watch her.

I dressed her in a tutu for more of my own amusement than hers. 

At least she has good humor.
