Oh Dear...

I was emailed this picture today while on a conference call...

if she had made it all the way to Remi's water bowl I would have had to hang up!

Fun In the Sun


Remi prefers the shade...

Happy Birthday Auntie Shae Shae!

This was one major weekend!  Most importantly...Auntie Shae Shae turned 28!  Also huge - I left my little lovebug in Albuquerque while I went to celebrate with Shae in Dallas = )  This was the first time I was away from Avery and thank goodness we had such a fun time in Dallas to ease my nervousness!

Shae and her delicious Dimple cupcakes!
The ladies - getting ready to go out for the evening
Holla if you're the birthday girl!
Bday shots - of course = )
One fabulous evening
We got a suite at the W Hotel in Dallas and spent Friday afternoon by the pool - ordered pizza to the room for dinner (immediately followed by some serious cupcakes!) - and then hit Ghostbar for some dancing!  Shae definitely knows how to celebrate a birthday ; )

Week One, Day Two

Ok Ladies...Week One, Day Two done.  Unfortunately that very last pushup of Set 5 was P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C = )  Time to give the munchkin a much needed bath...lets just say not all of last nights oatmeal ended up in Avery's mouth.  She likes to use organic hair product these days ; )

Avery's First Black Eye!

Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but check out Av's little bruise under her eye = (  She was sitting on her own, just playing with toys and the next thing we know she face plants on a toy!  She is so good at sitting these days that I didn't even notice her toppling over, bad Mommy!  I figured I should try to get a good shot of the damage since I'm sure this is the only bruise she will ever have ; )
While capturing the war wound I ended up catching Av playing with her new purse (and all of its toys) for the first time = )
Who wants to go for a ride...I'm driving!
Gas money - check!
I LOVE money!
Lipstick...hhhmm, how does this work?!
Oh!  Like this!
How does it look Mommy?  Do I look pretty?

Pictures While I Work

While I'm working during the day...these are the kinds of pictures that pop up in my inbox = )  My amazing babysitters (Grammy & Grampa) certainly know how to put a smile on my face!  And yes, I work from home so this picture was taken downstairs while I work upstairs, haha!

Who's That Lady

Week One, Day One


I blame Sada Goodwin and her fabulous blog...I've decided to take on the One Hundred Pushup Challenge!  These wimpy arms haven't seen a pushup in quite a while so today - Week One, Day One - was quite the adventure = )  Avery loves to watch me do crunches so I have a feeling she'll get a kick out of pushups!  Who's coming with me?!

Kathy & Donnie Came To Town

Grammy & Grampa stole me today so that we could go play with Kathy & Donnie at Flying Star!  They reported back to Mommy that I was a little angel the entire time = ) 
Thanks for stopping by!  I couldn't wait to meet you two!

Avery Has A New Trick...

And she learned it from the Remster!

Avery now mimics how Remi shakes his toys...she does this crazy new head shake as if she is emphatically saying NO.  She watches Remi shake his head back and forth (much faster and crazier) and must have decided it looks like fun.  She giggles at Remi when he does it and now we laugh at her when she does it = )
I doubt I'll get an opportunity to catch it on video...but at least I have some cute Summer pics from Friday for you!

It is supposed to be a rainy weekend here which is currently putting our pool plans on hold, but it will be a nice break from the heat!
