Motherhood is messy

What could have been....

Yearbook pix

How my look has changed over the years!
I found this funny site from Ansley's blog and got a little carried away....

Does anyone want to see Keith's? (hee hee)

Thank You Ladies! (and bro)

for all your votes. It seems very clear what the popular opinion is and I am glad since that was the one I had originally chosen. I told myself that I would not be swayed by everyone's imput (which I suppose begs the question, why ask in the first place then) but in the end I am put at ease now in my own decision. Trivial as it may be. Hormones make every little thing seem so hard.

I'm glad there are a bunch of fabulous gals out there ask.
Thanks everyone!

Indecisive pregnant woman needs your help

Lately even the smallest of choices have been feeling more like monumental decisions that I am incapable of making.
Now it's time to choose a girly bedroom set. I know I wanted pink and I know I wanted flowers. I feel that I've done a really good job of narrowing my top 10 favorites down to two. (this only taking a couple weeks of obsessive glaring).
But this final step is just too much for me! I like them both.
Which one will I ultimately like the best though? Do you know?
What do you like best? And which one will I?
Please give me your opinion and vote for 1 or 2.

Oh yeah! I'll show you heartburn......

PO

The first show Dakota ever actually watched with interest was Teletubbies.
While my brother Roderick was staying with us he bought a bunch of the videos and it soon became Dakota's favorite, near daily event. This went on for many many months.
So I had this great idea that we should all dress up as Teletubbies for this year's X-mas photo.
Daddy as Tinky-Winky. Mommy as LaLa. And Dakota as little Po of course.
Then one day Uncle Ricky sent his nephew a Thomas the Train video.
Ah man! Now Dakota wants nothing to do with his old Teletubbie ways.
I ordered this costume but I think it scared him at first.
In the end the only way I could physically get it on him was with sweet bribery.
(I know, what a horrible mother. Whatever.)
This was the result of my lame photo shoot attempt
(I am very dissapointed)
and the costume is going straight back to the store.
Forget about a family photo.
There is only just so much candy I am willing to shove down his face in the name of cute & funny.

Summer was fun.....

Beach Party

We recently went to the beach to celebrate the Bday of our cool friend John. What started a very stormy drive out there ended up being a beautiful & perfectly warm evening.
Good fun with good friends at the beach. Life doesn't get better than that.....

certain parts fuzzed out for protection of the innocent ;)

Yummy times
