so gross....

Let me start off my saying I HATE bugs! All kinds of bugs, I don't discriminate against one in particular, my hatred for them is equal!

I got up from my desk to grab a file out of a filing cabinet in a different room, came back to my desk and saw this....



Apparently there was a cock roach under my desk....right by my feet! I must of smashed it with the wheels on my chair because I checked the bottom of my shoes and they are clean. This totally grosses me out, it could of crawled on me!! I'm going to be freaked out for the rest of the day!

Mommy's Little Helper

Keegan has become quite the helper around the house lately! I guess since he is turned 3 he decided to become a little more mature! HAHA....he's a boy, I don't think he will ever be mature....it's not his fault, it's just how he is genetically put together!

He helps pick up the leaves....

Not helping out too much here but I liked the picture so I threw it in!

Helping put the Christmas tree together....

Time to put the lights on....



Time for the star.....{this is Keegan's job every year}

Time to help make some cookies......

And of course he had to help lick the extra dough off of the beaters....

He even helps cook supper.....



Who wouldn't want to eat something that was made by that face?!?!

And just in case you were wondering....I'm not sharing! It took 3 years for me to get some real help out of this kid so I'm going to keep it to myself!! :)

Oh Yes....I Confess

Is it just me or has this week taken foorrrreeeevvvvveeerrrrr to finally get over with?!?! I wish every week was like last week and I only had to work 3 days!!

Nothing too exciting has happened over the past week but I'm sure I can get some half way decent confessions out of myself for you to enjoy!!

I confess that I totally convinced Keegan that he wanted pancakes from McDonald's for breakfast the other morning because then I would have an excuse to get myself a caramel mocha...which by the way is one of my new favorite obsessions!!

I confess that the green couches that Ryan picked out are slowly starting to grow on me but I still think about how amazing the red would have looked with the gray walls every single time I'm in the basement.

I confess that I'm still going to throw some zebra print stuff into the decor in the basement!! And I'm starting with this ca-ute Scentsy warmer!!

I confess that when I ordered my our Christmas cards the other day I decided to use a family picture from when we had them taken back in May for a couple of reasons: 1. I had an awesome tan {it might of been fake but it was awesome} then, 2. my face didn't look like I stuffed 20 marshmallows into my checks like it does in the most recent family pics, and 3. our outfits matched the design of the card I picked out!! YES....I am THAT person who matched our picture to the colors of the card design!!

I confess that I'm going to buy myself an extra little Christmas present since I got a 25% off coupon from Coach in the mail the other day....I'm thinking a cute wallet to go with my cute new purse!! {And yes I already have the wallet picked out, I just need to go get it!}

I confess that I haven't done my "exercises" that the chiropractor told me to do one single time yet this week.....and I've been popping my neck. I have all of next week to get back on track before I have to go see him again!

Told that there wasn't anything too exciting or juicy to spill....but that doesn't mean that you can't confess some juicy stuff!!

Family Pictures

It's that time of year again....

You know what I'm talking about, trying to find/get the perfect family picture for those Christmas cards that you will be sending out! Some people like to use pictures from summer vacations at the beach but not me, maybe that is because we have never taken a summer vacation at the beach?! Well that and there is just something about a picture with everyone in tank tops sitting on the beach that doesn't scream Christmas to me....to each their own though.

We had family pictures taken earlier this year, back in May, but I wanted a more recent picture for our Christmas cards so I warned the two wonderful guys in my life that we would be taking a family picture on Thanksgiving to use for these. When I first told them about it, Keegan's response was "no, I don't want my picture".....well that's just great! Luckily that was a week before Thanksgiving and he forgot all about that when it came time to take the pictures!!

Remember a couple of months ago when I mentioned that Keegan was now in the stage where he didn't know how to smile like a normal person? Well I'm happy to say that he now remembers how to smile again.....there is just one problem though. He smiles really nice & says "cheeeeeesssseee" until right before the picture is taken......and then he makes a silly face!! Kids....gotta love 'em!

Let me show you what I'm working with here....

we could have had a good right the first time if it wasn't for Ryan not smiling!

great...now Keegan's not smiling! I swear these two are impossible!!

let's try taking one ourselves...would have worked if there wasn't a shadow covering my face!

let the faces begin....

See what I mean?!

I think the last one is my favorite....although I still haven't decided if I'm actually going to use it for the Christmas cards or not. I would totally use it even though Keegan is being silly but in the family pictures from May I am much tanner and my face doesn't look so freakin' chubby!!
