Alex with her new snowboard:)

Brady's new car drove itself under the couch. I told him to go get it... he got stuck in the process. LOL

Moments Like This

This is Brady.

This is Roxy.

Brady was eating applesauce. Roxy was sitting at his feet hoping he would drop some food. Brady dropped his applesauce on Roxy. Brady was upset and asked Mommy to clean the applesauce off of Roxy. Mommy was busy reading and did not want to be disturbed. Mommy gave Brady a napkin and told him to wipe the applesauce off of Roxy. Mommy thought this would teach Brady some valuable skills and then she would clean Roxy properly after she was done reading. Mommy thought she had a brilliant idea. Then, Brady had an even better idea. Mommy hears Brady say, "Mmmm!".

This is Brady licking the applesauce off of Roxy.


Brady was so proud that he cleaned the applesauce off of Roxy all by himself. Luckily Mommy had the camera right by her and was able to take pictures of this spectacle while she was laughing her butt off. Moments like this make a mom proud!

You might be a redneck if...

this was in your local newspaper. Honestly... Wal-Mart, an establishment of the finer things? LOL.

Trick-or-Treat!

Happy Haunting! Our pirate and parrot were the cutest!!! (Clever costume combination, eh?) Brady was so excited to be a parrot, all day long he was soaring around the house calling "Caaa!". As part of tradition we ate some yummy homemade chili and cornbread for dinner and then went to the mall to trick-or-treat. I do realize the lack of a good picture of Alex's pirate costume, she bailed before I could get a decent pic. I plan to remedy the situation by making her dress up again and pose at a later date. Against my better judgement I decided to let Brady go to town and consume as much candy as he desired. What fun is Halloween as a kid if you can't pig out on sweets?

Fall Family Photo Shoot

My fabulous sister-in-law took some autumn family pictures for us in Mill Creek Canyon. Brady was in a mood, to put it lightly, and REFUSED to cooperate. I was thrilled to see the results. Honestly, he was acting like, well... a two year old. LOL.

I've been tagged!

I've been tagged! The rules are that you list 6 facts/habits about yourself then at the end of the post name 6 people that you are going to tag, then they do it...

Here I go...

One.
I find stiletto heels and dangly earrings absolutely irresistible. If I’m having a rough day and feeling a bit frumpy all I have to do is throw on a pair of 4 inch heels and some earrings that dangle and sparkle and then suddenly I can conquer the world and am one sexy momma!
Two.
Speaking of heels, I love to sport a pair and go out dancing with my husband on a Saturday night. Nothing beats a night on the town with a handsome man while working up a good sweat and having a good time.
Three.
I am in love with Target. I could seriously live at this store! Yep, I am the Target Queen. What is there not to like… fabulous clothes, shoes, handbags, home decor, and jewelry... all at a reasonable price! I could spend hours just looking around.
Four.
I have a passion for writing and hope to be published one day. I love to write poems, dark artsy ones that don’t rhyme. I’m also in the process of writing a novel that is semi autobiographical. At the current rate I am going I figure I will be done with it in about 5 or 10 years. Once it's completed keep an eye out for it on the best sellers list;)
Five.
I’m a witch!? I recently read Wicked and must have identified a bit too closely with Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, because now my husband is convinced that I am a witch. He has heard the tales of my eccentric mom and has come to the conclusion that being a witch is a birth right that has passed down though my bloodline for generations. He says it makes sense really and that I make a good witch. Did I mention my husband has a vivid imagination? Yes honey, it is all in your head… or is it? Hehehe.
Six.
When I was growing up my mom always told me that if I wanted to have big boobs when I was older that I needed to make sure to eat lots of red licorice. As a result I consumed massive amounts of red licorice as a youngster. Did it work? You tell me.

That’s me, now I tag… you! That’s right if you are reading this then you are tagged! (And by you I am going to specify that at least Katie has to do this because she is the most awesomest sister in the world!)
