{This is what I've become}

Ok, so essentially this is what I am doing when playing World of Warcraft. On Ventrilo I can talk to other players (so much more convenient than typing it out... which I sometimes still do.) Yes, it may be nerdy, but I have so much fun doing it, I just don't care what it makes me look like... even if it's like these guys here in the clip. It's even more amusing when I'm in the same room playing with {Twinkie} and typing chat to him or listening to everyone get extremely into it on Vent. I have had my moments of sheer nervousness (amusing to anyone watching me)... when waiting to enter a battleground I basically freak out.
A fellow blogger/photographer/digital scrapbooker/WoW gamer posted this clip on her blog and it cracked me up cause it's so true to the life of gamers like me & her.

{HISTORIA DE UN LETRERO}

My good friend Naomi posted this on her blog and I couldn't pass it up and not post it on mine as well. I love this short film. "With a stroke of the pen, a stranger transforms the afternoon for another man in this emotionally stirring short film by Alonso Alvarez." Very touching,... and uplifting. I also love the song, I've heard Josh Groban sing it.

{Saving Relationships, One Month At A Time}

Ok, this is the funniest thing ever. I found out about this on another blog, here. So I went to check it out. LOL! It tracks your cycle and sends out a notification to the people in your life letting them know that this week you may be not your self or moody during that time of the month. I sent it to m'BF, m'mama, & m'sis with my cycle info as a joke... hopefully they take it as such. I'm not too bad during that time of the month... just impatient, weepy, depressed, angry, and completely psychotic. There are MANY women out there much worse than that, isn't there?

{T & H}

What SUPER cute girls!!! They make me want a girl (or 2) of my own. I had so much fun on this shoot. I loved working with their cute personalities and even getting in the water (up to my thighs) to get shots from the water to the beach.

{Looks worse than it really is}

Yuck, hives!!! Thank goodness they are not contagious or itchy, just ugly lil buggers. Poor {Skunk}.

{D & E Family}

Thank you so much for letting me capture your cute family while they were down here visiting. I loved seeing who you grew up with and may I say everyone was so fun and photogenic.

{Yeeee Haaaa!}

Here I am at Chili's. I got all dressed up and went to see Toby Keith over the weekend. Awesome show! A night I will never forget, and I was able to share it with some WONDERFUL people! To see more picts and details click here.

{Choo Choo!! Party}

It turned out great & everyone had a lot of fun. Thanks to all who were able to come celebrate with us and thanks to {Twinkie} for all the help with m'boys and capturing so many great photos.

{Good Company}

Since I've been crazy buzy this summer I haven't looked at a single magazine that has come to my mailbox for the past 3 months. This is a problem because I have a subscription to a LOT of magazines (most of them were deals and were free subscriptions). So tonight I tackled the 3 ft tall stack to flip through as quickly as possible ripping out recipes I'd like to try or different ideas from Parents, Good Housekeeping, Family Circle, & Family Fun. I didn't even glance at the Ensign, LDS Living, or the plethora of photography & photoshop magazines that are getting pretty scary since I take more time in reading those ones. Into the 3rd or 4th magazine tonight I stumbled across this ad and couldn't resist (as I usually completely ignore ads) staring at first into Davids eyes and then reading the entire ad. Of course I ripped it out and set it next to me so he would keep me company tonight as I continued this enormous and very repetitious task. It was nice to look up now and again and catch David staring at me, he couldn't take his eyes off me (how embarrassing) with that smirk that says only who knows what and I found myself blushing at times.

{Is he the cutest 2 year old OR is he the cutest 2 year old?}

I totally should have posted these last Saturday on {Skunks} birthday but I was slackin, (actually CRAZY busy) and so I finally touched them up today (errr, yesterday I guess. It's too late, I need to go to bed). So here he is at last!!! Check out those dark eyes, gotta love 'em.

{Being 2 is easy to do}

Well {Skunk} turned 2 last Saturday but the party is tomorrow since the place we are holding the party is only open one day a month. But on his official birthday his daddy took him to Peach Days and later that night {Twinkie} & I took him to Johnny's Dairy for and ice cream cone. He was loving the "happy birthday" song and is so proud to tell anyone that asks how old he is, a very quick "two".

{Happy Rain Boots}

My friend/sub-division neighbor and I decided to walk over to the pre-school today with our wagons and our toddlers to pick up our kids. I was so excited because it looked like it was about to rain and I've had these way too cute rain boots in my closet for 6 months now and have only wore them once and it didn't even rain that time. Thank my lucky stars, a block from getting home with the kidletts it started to rain! Yippie!! If it hadn't I was seriously thinking about jumping in the shower with them on just so I could get them wet. ;)

{Snug as a Bug in a... Bra?}

What a silly {Bug}!

{1st Day of School}

Before School
After School
Well today was {Bug}'s first day of school. And believe me it didn't come soon enough... for him. Ever since we had back to school night 2 weeks ago, he has been asking constantly when he was gonna go to school. But it finally came. Hip Hip Hooray!! And it was everything he hoped it would be. He absolutely loved it and can't wait for Wednesday to come so he can go back. A couple of my friends blogs mentioned how their younger one had a hard time with the older one going to school. I really didn't believe that it would affect {Skunk} at all. I was SO wrong! As soon as I got back in the drivers seat to leave the school after dropping {Bug} off, {Skunk} instantly started in... "Bwover? Bwover? Where Bwover?" He was so concerned that we were leaving with out him in the car. I explained that we would pick his brother up in a few hours cause he was in school, but we were going to the gym and he could play with the toys. That distracted him for the moment. After I had been on the olyptical for 30 min and was starting on the weights I noticed {Skunk} looking for me out the window of the play room with tears in his eyes. As soon as he saw me he burst into sobs. I figured I could be done at that point and so I went in to get him. He ran up to me and started pleading for his brother. It broke my heart. We still had an hour and a half left. The lady in the daycare area told me he was just fine but at one point just broke down in tears in the corner of the room. He was really missing his best friend and brother. Then when it was finally time to go pick {Bug} up from school, and {Skunk} so excited to see him, fell asleep as we waited in the long line of cars all picking up their pre-schoolers. I was excited to see my happy lil' pre-schooler myself. He told me all about his day and he even earned a gold token that he gets to save for a treat at school for "getting caught being good". This makes me so proud.

{Sayin' G'bye}

My youngest brother (by 10 years younger) works for The Point Theater on 12th... well he did work there. They are officially closed. How I will miss the free movies and discounted theater food. He's gonna miss it too. He really enjoyed putting together the films. I had the opportunity to have a tour of the projection room and was shown how the film is put together and how it all works. So next time I'm sitting in a nice rocker chair at The Junction 13 eating my expensive and fully priced popcorn with extra butter and large coke, I will think... 'I know what is going on up there and what it all looks like'. It was really cool! Thanks Gack! I also was fortunate to be the one to take the official picture of The Point Theater Gang out front, all together at work for the very last time. We WILL miss it!
