Halloween!!... costume

So this year I decided to be ambitious and make Carson's halloween costume myself. I went and selected a pattern and anxiously got started. Little did I know how much of a pain in the but it would turn out to be. Luckily I withstood the temptation to quit and buy one that is already made and finished it. It took me 4 grueling days to get it done but I wouldn't wish it any other way. Plus since I put so much work into it Carson is going to have to wear it at least once a week and he will probably also be a lion next year (don't worry I tried it on my niece Keilah who is 2 and it fit her just fine) unless I feel like being ambitious again... we'll see :D

This is what I had done after 2 days...

And the finished product...

What he will look like in a year... (only more manly and less fuzzy :D )

Picture Tag

So Ashley tagged me on this one. You are supposed to go to your pictures and then go to the 4th folder and put up the fourth picture. This one is of Paul and Aubrey, my sibling-in-laws.

And then the second picture is the fourth picture that is not in a folder. It's from my baby shower. We have (from left) Sarah Bean, Ashley Reese, Lindsay, Sara Zaugg (though you can't see her face :D ), me, Amber Horch, and Cami Finehout. Most of my best buddies from high school!

My baby's a punk!

So some day I am going to have a super cute little girl that I can dress up and do her hair and all that fun girly stuff. But right now I have a very tolerant little boy whom I love that is young enough to not mind my dressing him up (don't worry, I keep it very manly :D). I just thought that he looked super cute today with his mechanics shirt and faux hawk...


These pictures are dedicated to his aunt Aubrey because I have been really bad about putting updated pictures of him up. Sorry man!

In the Movies?


Ok, so you know how on movies and commercials and stuff they always show people running on the treadmill and then they go flying off of the back? Well last night my mom and I went to Anytime Fitness to work out. I hopped on the treadmill as usual and I was about 25 minutes through and I had my eyes closed cuz I was tired and my legs hurt so I was concentrating on my music. Next thing I know I am flying backwards on the treadmill and I hit my butt on the ground behind! I open my eyes only to see my ipod come flying at me from the force of my fall. I then start laughing hysterically, cuz seriously it was funny, and I look around to see if anyone saw me. There were two people right next to me, one on the treadmill and one on the eliptical behind and neither of them were looking at me or laughing!! Now I don't know about you, but I know that if I saw someone go flying off the back of a treadmill, I would be laughing. So I just hop up off my butt real quick and get back on the treadmill as if nothing happened and finish out my 30 minutes. It was fabulous! Anyway, now I have a big ol' bruise on my butt and I'm pretty sure that the guy that owns the place watches the night video and is going to see it! haha! But anyway, I just thought that it would be a funny story to share and maybe give someone a good laugh! I will try to keep this thing better updated for you all. Bye now!
