The Birthday!

Addy and I had a really great birthday this year. We went and picked out some new toys for Addy, went to lunch with our friends, took a nap (Addy not me), and then went and had a wonderful dinner with family. Addy loves being two I think. She went around all the next day telling people she was two. Here is a picture of the two of us at lunch.....


Shane got me an awesome pair of running shoes.....

Because I have been doing this work out video among others....


Shane and I were going to go out to dinner but it just didn't happen. Oh well! There is always valentines day right??

All and all we had a nice birthday! Thanks to our great friends and family for making this a memorable birthday!

January Blues

Although January is my birthday month I always forget what a complete downer this month is. Right now it is totally crappy looking outside....muddy, nasty, wet, cold. I would just be happier if it would snow snow snow and then be spring. Done and done I tell you. I am making it through by drinking lots of hot tea and spending a lot of time listening to amazing music....we now have Pandora on our blueray player and I never have known such bliss....I spent almost the entire day yesterday listening to Billie Holiday and Etta James. I did rearrange our living room this weekend and I have to say I am quite pleased with it. I am looking forward to mine and Addy's birthdays on the 27th but after that this yuckiness can just go away. Forever.

Christmas stuff.

Guess what? I still haven't taken family pictures for my Christmas cards! I really want to send out cards this year. I going to do it. So if you get your card after Christmas...oops sorry.

I am almost done with my shopping. I still need to bake a bunch of stuff and then I will get to relax right? I am really excited for Christmas this year though which is not like me...I usually dislike Christmas. I think having a almost two year old is helping. Oh she is getting lots of good stuff. Oh and so is Luke. There is going to be some smiles Christmas morning let me tell ya.

Shane and I are not really buying each other gifts this year because we really want an ipod. Oh and my parents are buying us a dishwasher for Christmas....best. parents. ever. I really really hate doing dishes so this really is the best gift any could ever get me.

That is about it....
What are you most excited for this Christmas?

A friend to be thankful for

I have been a slacker on posting what I am thankful for. Opps!

Today I am thankful for Kassy! Kassy is my best friend. We have been best friends for about 20 years now! Holy crap....am I really old enough to have a friend for that long?? Today is Kassy's birthday! She's old. She is like the sister I never had and I love her dearly. She is a total nerd and I love her even more for that. I just know we will be friends forever and that makes me happy!

One more thing

Isn't this picture funny! I can't stop laughing at it! Oh Addy I sure do love your face!

Thankful for vitamin C

Today I feel sick and so today I am thankful for these wonderful little fruits that are in season right now! Love you vitamin C! Every year I get so excited when the yummy little clementines are in season it makes my tummy so happy.

I am also thankful for days off so I can take random pictures of fruit. That is all!
