lazy labor day.

today was extremely laid back......just how we like it.
we were mostly with our families the whole day.
playing intense scrabble with mine and a bbq with brads.

we went for a walk this early morning and it was so refreshing to us.
the air was brisk, and the sun was just coming up.
working early mornings at the colon clinic deprives me of such luxuries.
that walk alone made it feel like a holiday.

happy birthday jackles!

jax, you get prettier and prettier with each year!
i truly have never met anyone that thinks farting and wiping boogers
on people is actually cool and funny as much as you do.....
but i wouldn't change your personality for the world.
i'm so grateful to have you for a sister,
i love the fetch out of you!

tender reese.

my poor little brother, joshie, has whooping cough.

which hasn't helped at all with his ethiopian look.

poor kid looks like he's 27 pounds.

last night he had a coughing attack, ran to the toilet and threw

up while he was coughing uncontrollably.

it broke my heart to sit there and watch him.

but i couldn't go help him because if i saw his throw

up i would have thrown up myself.

i hated so bad having to sit there and just watch him.

reese got up and crawled down the stairs

and walked right next to him and started patting his back

while staring at the puke in the toilet.

she just sat there...patting and rubbing his back for 5 minutes

while he was throwing up and coughing.

i can't stop thinking about it.

it almost makes me want to cry thinking of that little moment.

it's remarkable to me that she's only 2 but

has so much love with her.

she was so cute with him........

for those of you who love music as much as i do,

and have it constantly playing in the backround of your life-

this website is absolutely fantastic.

it's like pandora, but you get to actually choose what songs

you want to listen to.

all day, every day, whatever song, whatever time.

i love it.

crimson.

yes, we went to another crimson night. but this time we went just me and brad. they had some palm readers and taro card readers which was really funny.
i think we are getting really boring because all we wanted to do was get the free massages they offer. and we did, and i drooled on the massage table and when i got up and realized it i apologized about 400 times and felt ridiculously stupid.

after we got our massages we hit up the photobooth and headed out.

we walked out to the nearest field of grass and just talked. that was actually more fun than the crimson night. go figure.

i still actually feel tired from the trip, maybe it takes a lot longer than i thought to get back from the jet lag. or maybe i've been too engulfed in the books hunger games that i don't do anything anymore. another book coma.
i shouldn't be aloud to read novels, i get way too into them. they become to real to me.

some last minute pictures that i love.....

one of the funniest things i've ever seen.

i find myself watching this in the middle of the day just to laugh.
