*Easter Goodness*

I realize its almost been a week since EASTER

and to be honest-these aren't even on Easter-

but its close enough (not even 1 egg picture :)

but seriously.......i'm a slacker...its part of my charm ;)

This is little jesse's blessing day

love his wee little shoes :)

This is just outside the church-

nothing to fancy....just needed some pictures

to show them in their Easter lovelies!

"MOM, I don't want to take anymore!"

(seriously, i've only taken maybe 20 at this point)

**such classic faces of my kiddos**

me & my siblings & mom
i can't even remember what were
laughing at.....but this is how we are ....
laughter & fun & big smiles
***i love my fam***

*Some goodies from February*

So i thought i'd show some goodies

from the lovely month of february---

me & the hubbster stayed the night @ wolf creek

and then went skiing at powder mountain

(this was the 3rd time i've ever skied....hmm

graceful is NOT my middle name.....me no likee the chair

lift when you have to get off....seriously they slowed it down for

small children why not full grown adults that look "special"

i seriously took a nose dive every time i had to get off the lift....anywho..)

the most needed item at the Hall House

for Valentines

i could have eaten all of these by myself.....

(hmmm, i may have eaten half.......)

my sweet little bailey bug

(owen was not feelin the picture vibe...so alas none of him)

ok, ok, that settles it for February......

i think....

* Sweet little J *

Here is my hansome little nephew Jett

He is 3 months old

He didn't love his auntie in his face taking pictures

He has the sweetest little face

He is the strongest little bugger

I love him :)

Not happy with the situation......

but hey he looks great in a tie ;) hehehehe

A little GQ action going on.....

every parent needs some cover model shots!!!

(jett was going to be in this picture, but he wasn't feeling it :)

love, love, love this picture......

that's all i have to say about that......

*Little miss N*

This is cute little miss Navi

She is the youngest of 3 brothers

she has the most adorable squishy lips

I have loved taking pictures of this cute fam

over the past few years.....

especially when i come to their house

Kristen (super mom :) has the funnest things

to use for pictures......

(ummm apparentley I'm on a vintage kick....

so most of these have that going on.....but hey...

its how I roll ;) plus she gets the original

& the fun vintagey goodness....anywho...

She seriously has the cutest bedroom & bedding

i've ever seen........awhhh....sigh....drool......

Thanks for letting me be apart of your

newest little member of the fam...

she seriously was so good the whole time :)

*WAIST Management*

Dear Waist,

I know it feels like a decade has passed since we last met. I know I have given empty promises like "when Owen is 2 (he is now 4), I'll get there" or no I won't eat that whole bag of cookies....ummm in one sitting.....or in 2 minutes....or in 3 bites. Anywho, I feel compelled to let you know that I think of you often- like when my pants don't fit or when the "muffin top" is over exceeding the muffin part. I realize I've delighted in creating inches of lushious cellulite and fat pockets in places i didn't even know were possible......like who knew your belly button could consume fat like a water buffalo......many questions like this...keep me up at night. But my dear roundish belly, i am on this quest for good now....i will find you....

you may have to forgive my momentary lapses--like the other day after my step class at 5:30am (which i'm pretty sure the teacher had PMS so she punishes us and makes us all want to vomit after each class, for which i am huffing and puffing and look about to die afterwards)..... i ate a healthy egg white ommelet (which was delicious) but then 4 hours later i decide that it would be in my best interest to eat some of the frozen cookie dough that i made not 2 weeks ago to fill that sugar void i've been missing......

Anywho, to make a long story short- i miss you - i want you back - its all about the dedication..which i'm lacking a bit of....

I realize the 25 pounds i need to lose seem so very far away....most of which are around this goodlookin inner tube that is my waist.....

so goodbye addictive carbs (well...ummmm at least for now....or until my b-day which is in a few weeks :) healthy vege's, fruits, lean meats will now be on the menu........................

...........hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha. okay, okay, that felt better...no but seriously its so on.

love,

ME
