Monday Not My Fave

I think Mondays are hard on all of us... Just getting back into the swing of things for the week wears me out!

This morning I had to do one of my FAVE things ever and take my car in for an oil change and state inspection... it was out in July... so sue me...oops! They were out of loan cars today... typical for a Monday and so they were nice enough to have a guy take me back to work... I love Sewell Cadillac! 


Got these at Target and they are SO tasty!


Sweet girl ready to go run errands with me Saturday morning... I love this outfit!


So chic!


I want to make this peace sign.... 



Channing laying on out bed with Chandler looking at Benz.... SO CUTE

FUN TIMES
Running in the rain! SO thankful for the rain this weekend!








Hypnotic Donuts Sunday morning!








I needed to go through Channing's closet and get it ready for some fall clothes...
She just HAD to put this on and wanted me to take her picture! 


This girl is LOVED (not SPOILED)


Monday morning no shoes NO problem!


It was in the 70's this morning and I opened the panoramic roof! YEAH HOO!!!!


My sweet friend Valerie who also happens to do my hair gave me this necklace for my birthday! 
I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!



So excited that this is a short week for me. Channing's school has teacher inservice Friday and I also get to go visit friends in Houston this weekend for a girls weekend! YAY!

Happy Monday!

Long Week

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!

I do not know why but this has seemed like one of the longest weeks EVER!
I don't have too much to complain about but I guess I was just VERY ready for the weekend. Channing is sick right now, my allergies are NUTSO but other than that the week has been OK... Here are somethings I am going to try this weekend! 

I know you cannot wait to see what they are! Other than the things below we don't have major plans. Get Channing girl healthy and a few runs... We were going to grill some pizzas but not sure now with the rain that is in the forecast... WILL NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE RAIN! Oh and I think I am going to do some organizing tonight while Chandler is Fantasy Footballing it up and I am loving on my sweet Channy girl. 





I think I am going to try and make my own version of Sea Salt Caramel Cake Balls. I have had them from The Cake Ball Co. but have not tried this particular version myself... I smell weekend baking project! I don't really have a reason except that they sound GREAT and I have some fancy salt I want to top them with!



Yep you are reading this right... I am going to make my own laundry detergent this weekend. AND I am excited about it! Here is a recipe... I cannot find the one I am using but its pretty much the same as this one.... The only thing that I am really doing different is using Dr.Bronners Lavendar Castile Soap instead of Fels Naptha (you can use a few kinds of soap and I chose this one because I love Lavender plain and simple). I ended up ordering everything I needed from Soap dot com because they have free shipping after a certain amount and it was easier than trying to find everything in a store. Lazy or smart? I don't know... They partner with Wag dot com and let me be honest... if they carry your pets food, which they probably do, then this is a win win! Not only were they about $10 cheaper than the store but also shipped right to my door for FREE. Amazing and they have the same shopping cart as Soap dot com does with a few other sites. Awesome I tell ya!

SO I have been reading all over about Click. After talking to a good friend who is a personal trainer she convinced me I should be getting more protein for better runs and more definition in my muscles that I am looking for. It also helps with energy and recovery. So even though my friend says she wants me to eventually try one with more protein I ordered this one to try first and CANNOT wait. It tastes like coffee from what I hear and that's right up my alley! If any of you have tried it please let me know what your review is!

Super 7 Shots Photo Challenge

OK so I saw this on my friend Amber's blog and wanted to join in the fun. 

A photo that takes your breath away: 
This is the first time I held Channing! I can still remember that moment SO vividly! 
Def took my breath away!


A photo that makes me laugh or smile:
I couldn't choose just one....
This one is from my 25th birthday trip to my bosses beach house with some of our best friends...
The girls went out one morning to find floats for the ocean and found a little hole in the wall bar and $5 pitchers of beer. This was pre-kiddos (all of us have a kiddo now) and we had left the guys at the house. 
The name of the place was Ernie's and that guys name is Flounder....he worked there.
We had such a great time and eventually the guys found us and joined in on the fun.
RIP Ernie's... it was destroyed in a hurricane and they didn't rebuild :(


This one is from one of our Annual Girls Xmas Parties and we decided to do a fake laugh pose for one of the pics. EVERY TIME I look at it I laugh and smile.... I mean its HILAIRE!


A photo that makes me dream:

This pic of Santorini... I dream to go there someday as a family... 


A photo that makes me think:


This family picture... I love it and it makes me think what our photo will look like in the future...
Another kiddo? A boy or a girl? 
Can't wait to see what God has planned for us!


A photo that makes my mouth water:

This lobster I had at The Keg a few weeks ago!


A photo that tells a story:

This was the weekend Chandler surprised me for my birthday with a trip to F Burg, TX! 
The morning after we got there and were getting ready to go visit the WINERIES I found out I was pregnant! Nobody but us knew.... So awesome!


A photo I am most proud of:

This is after I finished my FIRST marathon. 
A proud moment for sure and one off the bucket list...
Now to qualify for Boston.... someday someday!
