Yay! More pictures!

Here are some of the things we have done lately. Last week, we got to hang out with some good friends of mine. I seriously LOVE getting together with them and their kids. Luckily all of our kids are roughly the same age group, so they get along pretty well! But we went to Thanksgiving Point for their 2$ Tuesdays. That place was NUTS! There was a 2 hour wait to get into the Dinosaur museum. Wowza. So we went to Farm County. Bubba LOVES animals, and loves petting them, and trying to make their noises. They had a pony ride, and the wait wasn't TOO long, and we were in good company, so we decided to go for it. Bubba enjoyed it! He kept wanting to go back, but by then, the line was forever long, so we didn't dare. Haha. Here are a couple of pictures of him riding the pony, with Sam helping.

And I don't think that I have shown this picture before (I need to organize my pictures better. haha) But whenever we go to the store, Bubba looks for these carts. IF he sees one, and he doesn't get to ride in it, he throws a fit. He likes pretending to drive them, and honking their horns. Silly boy. Although, he is smart. Once he gets in, he makes sure that his seatbelt is on. He won't let us move until he gets it done up.

And this picture is from a while ago, but I love it, and wanted to post it. This is my grandma. I lived with her for a year after I graduated from High School, so they are like a second set of parents to me. I love them to death, and I feel like I owe them SOOO much! But we enjoy going up to visit them, and Bubba knows just where things are in their house. And he loves Grandma, and knows she will give him raisens, and M&M's, using the toy truck they have. He's too smart.

That's all I have time for today. We are leaving for vacation in ONE WEEK, and 1 DAY. I can not tell you how EXCITED I am!! Oregon, be prepared, for we will be there soon!! And we are going to have a BLAST. YAAAAAY!!!! I can't wait.

Confessions have found me

Sitting here on a Friday night, trying to decide what to confess. Let's see..

• I hate brushing my teeth. I have to force myself to do it. It makes me gag, and I just don't like having stuff sit in my mouth and, blech. I can't stand it! Unfortunately this has been known to make me miss brushing my teeth some days. But I am trying to get into a better habit of it, and try to not let it bug me.
  
• I am looking forward to a day tomorrow with no baby. I have felt SO overwhelmed by him lately, that tomorrow will be a nice break. I will be gone for more than 12 hours without him. I of course will miss him like crazy, but it will be nice to not have to worry about what he is getting into, and what he is about to break, and where he is, and what he is eating, etc.
  
• I watched "Seven Pounds" the other night. I cried. That is a very powerful movie, and really made me think. If you haven't seen it, and are ok to cry in movies. I highly recommend this one. It's along the lines of "Pursuit of Happiness", and I absolutely LOVE Will Smith as an actor.
  
• I am an awful wife. I don't like it when Sam is sick. And he says I treat him well, but I don't treat him as well as I could. Part of me wonders why he should get special treatment when he is sick, when I still have to do everything I have to do when I am sick. But I am working on it, and am trying to get better. I shouldn't be so worried about me, but more about him. Hopefully one day I will get to that point.
• I can sing most of the songs off of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Bubba loves that show, and I watch it with him. So I can now sing the songs. Haha
  

Enjoy!

Nap Time

Bubba used to sleep SOOOO well! And he even went to bed very well. We would take him into the room, he would point to the bed to sleep in, we would lay him down and he would slip blissfully away into dreamland, without so much as a peep.

Not anymore. I don't know what it is, but even if he is tired, he will just cry as soon as we put him into bed. I don't know if he hates going to bed now? Or what the deal is. But I feel SO bad just leaving him down there to cry himself to sleep. But I don't know what more I can do! If I try to snuggle him, he will just try to play around. And he usually falls asleep about 10-15 minutes later, but it's just hard to listen to him crying. Ugh.

Where are the days of easy napping/sleeping? Oh, and we've been down to 1 nap a day for the last few months. What am I going to do when there is NO nap? :-S

Random Pictures

This is going to be VERY random, with some pictures on it, since I can currently upload pictures. So here we go. This is what happened the other day with the tree in the backyard. There was NO wind or anything, part of it just broke off. And fell backwards. This is right after it happened.


Curtis standing in the middle of the pile we were making.

This is Hunter's first ice cream cone. He LOVED it, and was SO mad when it was gone and he couldn't get anymore ice cream out of it. Haha.

Drinking his favorite drink. Milk.

He just woke up from his nap. I LOVE his eyes!

He has a cowboy hat. This is it. He won't keep it on his head very long!

This is him MAD because he didn't have the ice cream cone in his hand.

Sly little smile. I love this little boy! The highlight of my life.

Ok, that is all I have time for for now, I need to head back home. Hopefully I can organize more and post more in a couple of days! Enjoy!

I have yet another confession...

Let's see what we have tonight...

• I am NOT a morning person. During High School I could survive off of about 3-4 hours of sleep a night. But now that I am growing up, I value my sleep a lot more. Some mornings I don't mind waking up early, and when I get up early and get all ready for the day and do some things, then I feel like I am accomplishing things, but most mornings, I want to sleep. And I feel onry if I don't get the sleep that I want. Of course I could solve a lot of this by going to bed earlier, but I love being awake at night. So now that Bubba is waking up at 7:30-8:00am. I beg him to go back to sleep. Used to work...what happened?
• I had a bad day today. And it has taken everything in me to not sit in my room and cry. I have been trying to find the positive, which as helped a little bit, but not enough. I think I need sleep to get rid of this bad mood.
  
• Starting a business is hard. Some days I hate it, because there are SO many things that would help my business run better, but I can't get them. Even though I know that by getting them, they would actually HELP my business and would pay themselves off pretty quick. I also don't like working the business end of it. I don't like making people pay when they need to pay. Even though business wise I am supposed to. Things I need to work on I guess.
  
• I love blankets. I like making blankets, and I like snuggling in blankets. We keep two in our car so I can wrap up in them when we are driving. I'm odd.
  
• Bubba screams. And when he isn't screaming he is yelling. We try and get him to "talk" quieter, but he still just screams. My eye is starting to twitch from it.
  

I think that's enough for tonight. Enjoy.

And another thing...

So...I have a fan page on Facebook for my photography, if you were not aware. If you want to become a fan, just click on the link on the right of my blog. Thanks!!

You know what time it is!

That's right! Confession time!! Are you excited? I can tell you are, you are just antsy in your seat waiting for them aren't you. OK, enough of that, let's get on with it!

• I turned 26 today. I could say that I was turning 25..again. But I guess I should admit it. It actually isn't too bad. But it's kind of odd to look back on your life and see that you are no where near where you thought you would be at this time. But life is still good.
• I found a new love. Twitter. Have you tried it yet? Haha, it's like one giant conversation between people. Luckily I am not addicted and updating my status every 5 minutes, but it's fun to participate with other people, and have conversations on there. I have gained a lot of followers this week, which is awesome. If you have a twitter account, you can follow me at www.twitter.com/winsorphoto (How's that for my plug in. They should so pay me...hehe)
• Sam and I have narrowed down when we are going to Oregon. YAY!! I am SOOO Excited to go! And luckily it is coming up quick! EEk!!!
• I love sleeping in the cold. I don't really like being FREEZING cold, but I like the air to be cool. I think it's because I like snuggling down into blankets. And I usually sleep better when it is colder.
• I listened to a new band today and I LOVE their music! The name is HASTEN, and they are coming out with their debut album this year. It consists of one guy who does everything. His music is right up my alley, and it's just amazing. Doesn't hurt that it's a guy I went to school with. But he has some SERIOUS talent! I am impressed. You can listen to his stuff here: http://www.purevolume.com/hasten

Ok, I think I am going to end there tonight. Enjoy!
