Foto Friday

I meant to post this yesterday. But when I sat down to write it Myka woke up with a 105 degree temp.

awesome.

So off to urgent care we went. I wasnt overly impressed with the pedatric urgent care we went to.
The Doctor was hard to understand and just seemed annoyed by my questions. And the man at the front desk was more intrested in reading Eat, Pray, Love then talking to a panicked mother. ( no joke he was reading that book )

It turns out she has strep.

ewwww.

I hate that nasty booger. So today will be lots of cuddling. And naps will be happening. I fell into bed around 1 am last night. I was so excited to sleep in. But Mykas tummy had other plans.

Second time I have cleaned up barf this week. So sweet I tell ya.
here are some pictures from yesterday.

who doesn't love cottage cheese for breakfast ??


Ashlynn is seriously awesome at this game. She beats me each time. I think she cheats.





my lunch. No joke. 10 more days and this hcg diet round 1 is OVER!! i want to losse 5 more pounds ! I can do it!!!



LOVE THIS ONE!!!

Happy weekend all :)

Fall break 2010

I have a thing for funny socks lately.
Good thing Lexi likes funny socks.
She dressed herself yesterday before we headed out to a family Target trip.
She dresses herself all the time but today I guess she was feeling extra snazzy.

Target was fun. Then we  THEY ate Del taco,
and I watched. I ate some lettuce for dinner.
I am not going to lie, this diet is getting very boring.

Two weeks left ! I can do it !!

Today i went with the kids to see nanny Mcphee returns .

SUPER CUTE movie. And we saw it for a dollar !!
can't beat that price.
The only downfall was the line for popcorn was insane !!

Happy Friday !

have you ever had a day where you feel like if ONE more thing happens it WILL push you over the edge??

That was yesterday for me.
Lexi woke up with icky sores in her mouth.
It was gross.
I called the doc and they said bring her in.
Nice. Hubby has our ONE car at work.
I called one of my BFF's Megan . She agreed to drive us.

Ten minutes later we were playing outside. And Myka climbed up on a rock.

A BIG one.

And I swear it happened in slow motion.
I tried to catch her.
But I was to late.
She cried and cried. And had a HUGE goose egg on her head.
Right in the back.

I called the doc AGAIN.

They wanted to see her right away.
CRAP !

Now HUBBY had to come home. I was clearly unfit to be watching the children. They were dropping like flies.

And he did.
And we were all fine.
We have the x rays to prove it.
And the special mouthwash to make the sores go away.
And now for the random pictures because its Friday.


I made this necklace following THIS tutorial.

I liked it.
My hubby said it looked like something I made at summer camp.
WHATEVER.
hes a hater.

I think this is her new standard picture face.



unless she dumps her icee all over her face. Then she makes this face.





I love this kid.
She is growing up fast.
I like it when she is still excited about things like rocks.


She REALLY likes rocks.
Enough that she made a club about them


We may need to work on spelling :)

hcg update- 13 pounds down !!

Once I tripped over a pool chair............

And fell on my bottom , and missed the pool behind me by like a inch.
The best part besides the fact the pool at the resort was full of strangers, was that I was shooting a wedding.


I am AWESOME !!

I may be a total spaz but the bride was STUNNING !!
The whole day was perfect and I love my job.
I will post the whole thing over at LaurenJean in the next few days.

For now here is a slideshow.

In other news.....

I have lost 8 pounds since Wednesday on this crazy HCG diet !!
I was super hungry my first day.
Like I went to be crying kind of hungry.
But when i woke up, I was fine.

its nuts people !!

I just hope i don't start seeing commercials with lawyers on them asking if you or someone you loved were harmed by hcg .......
i took out my "skinny jeans " tonight.

I tried them on, and it was sad.
or comical.
perhaps a bit of both ?

moving on....

I wish

It was chilly outside , I wish daytime was cold enough to wear long sleeves , and night time required a sweater.
I wish leaves were changing and the smell of fireplaces were in the air.

I wish it was fall.

I mean, I know TECHNICALLY it is.
But man.....
I wish it really was.
BUT... I am trying this whole new thought process that I can indeed bloom where I am planted.
Even if God has planted me in the middle of a dessert.

So I have come up with a list of what I would like to do nefore the end of November.
I like lists.
They help keep me focused.



Yup lists are good. 

the giveaway for the super cute backpack is still going on over here. Thanks again to Well of creations for the giveaway !! Seriously, I feel so special. Robin is so creative and I just LOVE her creative offerings :)

I am shooting a wedding tomorrow so look for some pretty pictures over at laurenjean.

oh, and I started the REAL hcg diet today. No more fat loading for me. Its all chicken and apples from here on in.

So far so good.
But it is only 10:00...................
