Birdy, so hot right now

Confession, I am addicted to Ellen DeGeneres. I always am left feeling happy and inspired after every episode, the woman rocks. The other day she had on this YouTube sensation called Birdy. For all of you cool kids that are hip with the now go ahead and insert your eye rolls here but for everyone like me who has never heard of this 15 year old listen to some of her stuff. Her voice is far beyond her age and eerily soulful. I have been listening to her nonstop since I first heard her sing Skinny Love. 

rest stop shenanigans

This weekend I took a last minute road trip to California for my friends wedding. DJ was tied up with work so my mom, T, and I loaded up the car and headed west! It was a super short trip but way worth it. The reception was beautiful, the bride was even more beautiful, and T established himself as the best road trip partner. He acted like a well seasoned traveler and slept the majority of the way both times. He took advantage of the rest stops to get out his wiggles by climbing around his car seat and trying to crawl out the window. We had so much fun, Thanks mom!

cutting the hairs

i finally consented to letting the hubs cut T's hair. (am i the only mom that doesn't want her kids hair to be touched?) we borrowed my mom's hair shears and rockin hair cape while we were at her house to get it done. enjoy the raw video, just don't judge my high pitched baby voice.....

Amoxicillin, mid-day baths, and vapor rub

the sick bug hit our house monday night and hit it hard. after two days of a fever for T and we took him to the doctor on wednesday only to find out he has rsv and an ear infection. talk about feeling helpless as a parent! dj and i have been feeling crummy lately too which means our daily attire consists of pj's (prefereably ones we've been wearing for a couple days straight) and not leaving the house. unfortunaly for deege though he has to go to work so me and T have been filling our days with a steady routine of naps, warm baths, and vapor rub smelling snuggle time till our favorite guy comes home from work.

HUNGER GAMES

i kept telling dj to read the hunger games series when i was reading them last year and he wasn't interested. fast forward a couple weeks ago and we talked about renting a theater out for the early showing of the movie and the next day he started reading the series and finished within a week....all three books. he fell in love with them (maybe more than me) with the books. and now we've gone and rented a theater for the early showing of it. no more waiting in movie theater lines for the midnight showing. we're watching the movie at 6:30 pm (which is a dream when you still have a baby at home). jealous? don't be you can join us! if watching the summers most epic movie with friends AND get a good nights sleep sound good to you then message me for ticket info. we'll be having raffles as well!



may the odds ever be in your favor.....(sorry couldn't help but quote the book i'm so EXCITED!!)

put a pin in it

with summer coming up fast all i can think about are exotic vacays, tanned skin, spending all day by the pool, and baby t's first birthday party (it's not weird that me and the hubs have already started making plans and he's not 8 months yet right?). i love summer. even arizona summers.

hitting the pavement

today me and T stopped by my moms house to visit. shes been working so much lately that her face time with T has been seriously diminished which leaves both of them quite sad about it. while they both were busy coo-ing and smiling at one another i decided to duck out for a quick run in my childhood neighborhood. back in my teenage years i was quite the runner (and by that i strictly mean i could run thirty minutes without getting out of breath). but while i am no longer in the amazing shape i used to be in its nice to know that some things (like my old neighborhood and running route) never change. if only the same thing can be said about my waistline. darn baby weight. 

i sure hope a girl scout lives here cause thats a massive amount of girl scout cookies, even to me.

 how cute is this? saw this on the sidewalk at our family friends the maxfields. check out her daughter-in-law brooke
