Day Thirty-Three.....

Fun With Color

I don't need silly color filters on my ghetto point and shoot camera - I have Ariana's toys! 

Lol

The keys featured in the first picture is how I turned Ariana blue in the second.  The first picture I used some other toy. 

Great entertainment, at least for one of us!

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-Eight

And We Call It Sibling Love

When the baby sister grabs your hair and PULLS!!!

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-Six....

Green Means "GO!"

As in, go home!

Hate these stupid lights that control the flow of cars getting onto the interstate.  Just saying.

Today I noticed that I am now driving home while the sun is setting, rather than in the dark.  Signs of Spring, lovies!!

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-Four....

Just Hangin' Around...

Sundays are generally pretty chill.  Aside from watching the Jets' dreams of going to the 2010 Super Bowl go up in flames, we just hung around.  Did nothing.  Mommy dealt with a migraine while Ariana played on the floor.

Day Twenty-Three....

Portland Children's Museum

Ahhh, Sir K-man.  The Children's Museum was a blast today.  Your favorite, of course, was the train station.  While you didn't enjoy sharing those trains with other kids, you did.  Mommy has tons of pictures of the fun we had.  We both loved it, and will be going back soon.

I love you, bug!  Thank you for being an absolutely fantabulous kiddo!

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 Seventeen....

This Game is a Nail-Biter

Justin and I went out to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the Jets play the Chargers today.  The winner of the game advances to play the Colt's in next week's game.  Justin has been a Jets fan for the better part of his life, so this game was not watched for fun.

Next week, the Jets will play the Colts for a shot to advance to the Super bowl.

Now, due to Justin's love for the Jets, I have advised him that he will not be watching the game at home.

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.

Day Fifteen....

The Crock Pot Put to Use

Justin and I received some new kitchen gadgets for Christmas.  This crock pot was one of them.  Tonight, I used it for the first to serve our family beef stew.  While the stew doesn't look super yummy, I assure you, it was!

Day Fourteen....

Tree's Have Hearts Too!!

Went for a walk on my lunch to jump start my new "healthy" attitude.  I took my camera, KNOWING that I was going to find today's picture.  Low and behond, I did!

Remember, trees feel too!
