I swear I am not dead

My camera broke, so I have no new pics and I am waiting to get the disposable camera from Zanders birthday developed. Also, I started a new weight loss blog that has taken up my allotted "blogging time" lately. So, to see what I have been up to , check out my blog!!

Happy Birthday Z-Man!!

I don't know if this day will ever stop being a big fat cry fest for me. I don't remember my mom crying on our birthdays, so maybe it wears off! I love this little boy so much! We went on a little date last night, and I choked up just thinking about the kind of night we were having 3 years ago not knowing how our little boy was going to be. I am so thankful for him. He brings us both unimaginable joy, and laughter. He is spunky, and so funny, and so caring. What a blessing he has been in our lives! MOMMY LOVES YOU Z-MAN!!

Well, my camera is broken...so for those of you who don't know...I colored my hair red and have been trying to get a picture up on this thing, but as I was taking pics, my BRAND new camera kicked the bucket...I guess my hair was just to fierce eh? hahaa!

Not too much new here. Mitch is still looking for work, he has been holding down the fort at the tanning salon which has kept him busy. I am busy with doing hair, and Zander is busy with making us crazy!! We are starting the new adventure of speech therapy for Z man and we are hopeful that it will help all of us including Zander be a bit less stressed out! He is trying to talk more and picking up on a few new words here and there, but for the most part he is still speaking Chinese!

I hope all is well with all of you! Have a blessed week!

Paint, Paint and more PAINT!

Okay, so who decides to paint while their husband is gone to the Fiesta Bowl?? ME...so I decided to paint our two living rooms....this first color was HORRIBLE! We both HATED it, so needless to say, we spent three days RE-painting it, plus we didn't like the size of stripe, so we had to totally start over and...
Here is the new color...oh and my new BEAUTIFUL mantle that my amazing father in law made me. Seriously, isn't she pretty!! The room is still a work in progress, the drapes being the next thing I am changing, but for now, we will just deal!
My family room was less of a headache, I loved the color from the moment I put it on the walls!


So, I think I am done painting for a while...for a long while! Until I decide to take on some other giant project while my husband is away!!

Christmas!!

Here we are on the airport shuttle! Cutie boy!

Playing with a balloon...screw all of those awesome toys he got!

Zander and Will playing so cute!

Sweet little Tylar let Zander follow her around all weekend climbing on her!

Oooohhhhh, I like it!!

Zander and Will once again! Saying CHHHHEEEEESSSE!!

In the spirit of going green...Mitch thought it would be brilliant to use wrapping paper left overs to wrap my gift...pretty cool eh??

When Zander came in the room, it was like a scene from an intervention, he didn't even see his toys, he just thought it was so weird that we were all sitting around staring at him!

The loot!!Enjoying the loot!

This was taken before we left! Once again saying....CHHHHHEEEESSEE!!

Tired of opening gifts!

Thanks grandma and grandpa Johnson, John Deere is the BEESTTT!!

Zander wasn't sure how to open the gifts, so Mitch showed him how to punch it, he punched the rest of his presents...thanks Mitch!After a long week, he konked out, playing with Tuckers cars!! Love this one!
