Little Jacob Turns 1

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT...

1 year ago, I was blessed with a BEAUTIFUL baby nephew. This past year has been a year of 1st for my family and I can say it's been the best year of my life. I've watched him learn to talk (well babble), giggle, crawl, walk, climb stairs, open doors, and most of all, I've watched him learn how to get into mischief.

I am beyond proud to have gotten the privileged to be apart of my little nephew's daily life and cannot wait to watch him grow up to be someone amazing.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE BUGGER BUTT!

"I am thankful" day 7/8

Blogging everyday is not very easy when working two jobs but I'm not going to let that factor get in the way of showing my thanks!

11.7.11-If you know me, I never wear my glasses but I am thankful for my glasses because I put the wrong contact solution in my eye which burned my eye, and could not wear my contacts. 

11.8.11- I am thankful for chai tea and sugar free flavored syrup! I don't think I would have survived the day without either!

What can I say...it's the small things in life!

"I am thankful"- day 6

11.6.11- I am thankful for my healthy and adorable little nephew, who wakes me up with a smile (most days) at 7:30 in the morning EVERYDAY! I may not be happy about it on the days I get to sleep in, but every day he wakes me up is another day I get to see him grow!!!!

Did I mention he turns '1' at the end of the month. 


Holy Moly where did this past year go?

Stay tuned for more "I am thankful"

 

BOO...HALLOWEEN

Okay, okay. I get it, I'm a tad bit late on updating my halloween extravaganza (well only 3 days, but late is late). For starters, I actually had a Saturday night off, which might not mean anything to anyone, but for me, it meant I actually got to see my friends. We all work crazy @$$ schedules and Saturday nights are the only nights free for us to get together! And yes, this past Saturday was all about rocking the costumes. 

Now if you know anything about me, I don't really spend too much time or money on costumes, because honestly how many people actually wear them more than once. On the same note, I normally don't get Sat. nights off, so I didn't have a costume to wear as of 3pm Sat. afternoon. Luckily, I have been living with my 11 month old nephew and had some simple, cheap and easy to assemble costumes in mind. I ended up going with Blue from Blue's Clue (of course...it's blue, DUH). I did have a little help from my amazing sister! I would say I look pretty dang cute for only having ~3 hours to assemble the costume. What do you think?

Oh yeah, I should probably explain the blue paw print for those of you who have no idea who Blue is. Well, she is a Nick Jr. cartoon who leaves paw print/clues around the house and Joe, her owner, must figure out what she is thinking about. Get it. Well, thanks to my sister, we decided to make my very own clues to place around the house randomly to see if people could figure out the clues! Nifty huh?


Actual halloween day is another story. For started, I had some type of stomach ache/flu/pain where I had to cancel all my clients and call out of work. I hate being sick and having to do the previous statement, but I could not keep anything down (I know TMI, but it's my blog :-P). On the positive side of being ill, I did get to take some goofy pictures of my adorable nephew in his cute Koala bear costume. If you know my sister, this might not come as a big shock (she's only slightly past obsessed with the animal). Lucky for Matt, Michelle said he gets to choose the costume next year! You cannot tell me that he is not the cutest koala bear EVER!!!
