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-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.

Day Forty-Three....

Jail Baby

Snapped this pic just after Ariana woke up from her nap.  Those white things are, indeed, the bars of her crib.

I love how, after a nap, she is so very happy.

Day Forty-One....

It Wasn't Me!!

Ariana has found out that her big brother's room is pretty cool!

After spending about an hour (no exaggeration) with Konnor in there earlier, she decided that's where she'd like to spend her evening.

Day Forty....

Doctor Konnor!!!

At preschool today, Konnor learned all about doctors.  They sent him home w/ a "doctor bag" (which he is holding but you are unable to see) which included this adorable face mask, the hair net, band-aids, q-tip, and some gauze. 

We played doctor for a little bit, and he just thought it was fun to put band-aids on my leg.

:)

Day Thirty-Five....

Happy Birthday Dalton~!

The celebration of a birthday.  My baby brother, Dalton!

(Thanks, Mom, for uploading the pics!!)

Day Thirty-Four....

Houdini...

Today we stayed home.. Mommy with her migraine and Ariana being.... well, Ariana..

Except, we have a new trick.  Perhaps it was a one-time deal.  If you can see, she wriggled her way out of her jammies.  Yup, and she was pretty happy about it.

I keep calling her my little Houdini baby

Day Thirty-Two.....

Where the Baby Becomes the Photographer

Or tries to, anyways.  She grabbed as i snapped, and this is what we ended up with.

Also could be named "The Baby's First Juice."

Day Thirty-One.....

Social Interaction

Today Ariana met her future BFF, Brooklin.  Her mommy, Kristin, and I met while these two were still in utero.  Today was the first time her and I met face to face, and the girls seemed to like each other.

Ariana pulled on Brooklin's shirt while Brooklin pulled Ariana's hair.

Awww, the joys of super curious babies. :)

Day Thirty.....

Ariana Does the Splits!

Not only is Ariana crawling all over the place, but she is pulling herself up into a sitting position after she gets to her destination.

Today that destination happened to be under the coffee table.  After Konnor made a fort with her under said table for Ariana, it has been one of her favorite places in the house.

Here you see she is doing the splits.

Day Twenty-Nine....

Working Necessities...

My phone would have been included if that were not my only means of photography today..

• My Ipod keeps me sane at times that I feel there is no hope. 
• The headset, of course, is how I do my job.
• The pen is to use on
• The paper, which i use to doodle all day.

If I am missing even one of these things, I cannot concentrate and I cannot do my job. 

Day Twenty-Seven....

Blanket of Fog

This reminds me of the movie, The Mist.  I almost turned around and went home half in fear that weird buggie creatures would consume me, and half because I am still so sleepy!

Early morning picture.  Woot!  It isn't everyday that my inspiration comes before I get to work. 

Fine by me, the rest of my day includes taking the kiddos to get shots. :(

Day Twenty-Five...

Kix - Kid Tested, Mother Approved...

Ariana was so interested in what i was munching on today, that I figured it wouldn't hurt to let her try a Kix.

Biting one in half, I gave her the other.  She took to them instantly.  They dissolve pretty fast, so it was mushy in her mouth before we knew it.  She thought they were pretty tasty, too!

Day Twenty-Two...

The Power of Chocolate...

Somehow, chocolate can heal everything wrong in the world and make it right again. 

After eating a dove chocolate and throwing away the wrapper, I remembered the saying that lies within said wrapper.  Diving back into my garbage can (its my own-personal-changed-everyday-because-the-cleaning-lady-changes-it-every-night garbage can at my desk at work!) I unfoiled the foil to read these words.

That got me thinking.  Sometimes you just need to slow down and remember the good in your life, and stop stressing about everything else.

I love my family.  I love the friends I have.  The relationships I have created with these people are mine.  They are around because they care. 

Dove chocolate RULES!!

Day Twenty-One....

The Light... It BURNS!!!

First time we have seen the sun in weeks.  It actually FEELS a little bit like Spring, too. When did that happen??

Day Twenty...

My Phone is Love

I heart my Crackberry to pieces, but today it was on the back burner while Ariana was sick and I was dealing with a migraine.

It looks so dead when it's off, doesn't it?  The life and soul sucked right out of it.  Haha.

Day Nineteen...

Sick Fussies Always Find Happiness.

Snotty nose and goop in your eyes - that's how Mommy was greeted today when picking you up from daycare.  Sick with a migraine and you with your ickies, we were both in a foul mood.

Of all of your toys, you grabbed the lion we bought from Old Navy.  A toy that had never been played with before, and that made you happy.  Kind of anyways.

Listening to you cry in the bedroom, I know it's mommy's bedtime as well.  You aren't going to sleep on your own tonight.  Shall be a long night for the both of us.  But you are so worth it, sweet pea. 

Day Eighteen....

"I Don't Wanna Go Nappie-Time"

Oh sweet Konnor, how you hate bed time.  But tonight was really a tough night for you to go to bed.  For some reason, 8 o'clock came and went, and you were NOT down for bedtime.

Day Sixteen....

Fort-Building

Ariana has been rolling all over the house and then some.  She almost got herself completely under the rocking chair, at which point Konnor decided it would be fun to make a fort. 

oh yeah, and Konnor also thought that Optimus Prime would be a great friend for Ariana.
