Jaden Boo at 10 months old!







You are getting so very BIG! I've been SUPER EMOTIONAL lately! I am SO VERY PROUD of the little "man" you've become and I feel so HONORED to be your mamma! I just have a VERY DIFFICULT time wrapping my mind around the fact that you're FIRST BIRTHDAY is just around the corner. I've gone through the DENIAL/PROCRASTINATION (in hopes of keeping you little longer...) to coming to the ACCEPTANCE/PLANNING in full swing mode over the last couple of days. I wish I could make it perfect. You deserve a PERFECT DAY! I love you so very much and I cannot imagine my life with out your smile. Even if more babies of our own are not in GOD's plan for our lives...only time will tell...I WILL BE THANKFUL...SO VERY THANKFUL, that you surprised us last year! The greatest gift of my life! MUAH!

Love mommy!!!!

Ooooh to cut or not to cut!?!

I know, I know...I said I wasn't going to do this again. Problem is...I get bored. Especially with my hair! Ugh! Since my pregnancy with Jaden, my hair has been doing some strange things. Very strange. It went through this disgustingly oily phase (I mean NOTHING helped!). It went through a major FRIZZ phase. A flat/falling out phase, and even in between there a very BRIEF looks kinda nice again phase.Well, that phase has passed. Now I'm apparently back at the oily/flat phase. So, naturally, I want to chop it off.

If I decide to get some guts....

maybe...

I heart fall!!

It's likely my favorite season of all! The colors, flavors and scents, the temperature is just brisk enough with out requiring too many layers, sweaters...oh I do love a cozy sweater!
What's not to love about it?!
FALL IS HERE PEOPLE! :)

Too cute...

Just one more precious reason why I love woodland creatures! Oh it's so cute!!!

I need some coffee!!!

*** disclaimer: THE CUP IS EMPTY...no infant was harmed by consuming excessive amounts of caffeine for this post***




My son...enough said! ;0)

I'm in the mood for change...

I love her hair! I know that realistically my hair just won't get to be this color....but I really love it. I just like her look.

I just chopped off about 4-6 inches of my hair the other day. It's now about shoulder length...I haven't taken pictures yet. Believe it or not, I am sooo glad I did. I was over the super long hair. It was getting LONG!

I'm also hoping to eventually go a bit more reddish brown or burgundy once my hair color grows out enough. We'll see, I'll have plenty of time to think about it, lol.

My mess...

I wish I had the guts to show you...the complete utter disaster that is my home/life right now. It's almost humerous really. Most days all I can do is chuckle...GOD has a sense of humor. I've always known that. In recent months it's just become more and more obvious that I'll never be in control, nor will I be able to get it all done. I've learned to let go in many ways, but in others it's about to drive me bananas. I love and crave order, beauty and peace. None of the above resemble my home/life in its current state. Moving is a pain. Moving with a 10 month old, full time job and full time school schedule. Absolutely ridiculous! I have a weeks worth of (clean) laundry on the couch, mail piled on the printer, boxes yet to be unpacked, and zero energy to do anything constructive. By the time I sit to do my homework I typically stare at the screen with a blank brain that just doesn't want to "think" anymore.
