Is it over yet?

This has been such a long week. Not really much going on out of the norm. Working, cooking dinner. All the same. It is just one of those weeks that seems to drag. Oh well. Tomorrow is Friday and I am going Christmas shopping after work. I hope to get a majority of it done. I hate waiting until the last minute. Not much to write about. Jaqc and I went out and played a bit today. Here are the pics.

The Reject Christmas Card Photos

So being the super mom that I am, I have yet to get our Christmas cards made. I was just going to order some from snapfish but then changed my mind and thought that making them myself might be fun. After playing around in photoshop for what seemed like hours, I decided against that! I took some pics the other day that I planned on using for the cards but now I think I am not doing cards at all. Maybe the regular paper cards. But I just don't have it in me to send out cards this year. So if you are a friend or family member and don't get a card from us, don't be offended. No one got cards this year! Sorry people. I would hate to deprive you of the beauty that is my child. So here are the pics that I was going to use.

Sneak Peek

So today I went to my friend Jill's house and took pictures of her beautiful family! I was really excited to do this and had a lot of fun. It also showed me just how much I have to learn. Here are a few of my favorites.








I hope Jill likes them considering I am posting them for everyone to see!
I really want to improve my photography skills so if anyone is interested in letting me take pics of your kids or family, let me know. Right now I just want the practice so it's FREE!

I'm still stuffed

Seriously. I ate so much yesterday I think I should be ok not to eat through the weekend. We went over to Marc's parents house. It was fun to have everyone around. Jacq was a little grumpy but she did start to walk! Just got up and took off across the living room and into the kitchen. Yeah. Here are some pics.

Monochrome Monday!

Mondays are pretty boring. Back to work, nothing good on prime time tv, and I have to go to bed early to get up on time tomorrow. Nothing really to post about so I thought I would post some pics. All these were taken tonight with my new bad ass lens that I bought myself. You can tell I am adjusting to the focus but this baby is awesome. Enjoy!

Back in action

As I posted last week we haven't been doing much in the way of crafts lately. This is the first weekend without the cast so naturally it was time to dive back in. I found a few cute Thanksgiving crafts but really wanted to do something where Jacq could just have fun and the activity wasn't so structured. I also thought it would be nice to get her outside. The doctor told us no parks, slides, swings, etc for 3 weeks. She also still isn't walking. I figured some good old fashion finger painting fun was in order. So here ya go!




TIP: Reuse yogurt cups to hold your paints. Applesauce cups work well too!







As you can imagine it was straight to the bathtub after this. She had a blast and it was nice to spend some time outside. For those of you not in Arizona, yes it is late November and its still warm enough to sit outside half naked.

Alt-Sexy

So we are all familiar with the usual rounds of hunks. Brad Pitt, Justin Timberlake, Matt Damon. Well what about all the other guys? There are plenty of hotties out there that don't land in People magazines "World's Most Beautiful People" or whatever it is. So here are a few of my favorite alternative hotties.

Sexy Nerds

Wether they are one in real life or just play one on tv, these nerds are hot!

Adam Brody

The lovable emo listening, comic book reading nerd better known as Seth Cohen on the OC.




Rivers Cuomo

The lead singer of Weezer, Cuomo graduated from Harvard University Phi Betta Kappa.




Zachary Levy

I'll admit that I don't watch Chuck. But every-time I see a picture of cutie Zachary I tell myself I am going to start.




Sexy Chefs

Tyler Florence

This food tv network star is hot in and out of the kitchen!




Rocco DiSpirito

This guy sometimes gets a bad rap and is labeled a jerk and playboy. Be that as it may it doesn't take away from the fact that he is a hottie.




Sexy Dads

My favorite category by far. There is something so incredibly intriguing about a family man.

Matt Pryor

Ok, ok. This guy is like consuming my life lately. He is the singer for several bands. The Get Up Kids, The New Amsterdams and the children's band The Terrible Twos. He is the father of 3. I would be more then happy to make it 4.




Gavin Rossdale

All I have to say is that Gwen Stefani is one lucky woman.




Justin Chambers

We all know Grey's Anatomy has one of the hottest casts on tv. In my opinion Justin is the reason for that. He has been married to his wife for 13 years and they have 5 kids!




So who did I miss? Who are your favorites?

The cast is off!

So today we went to the orthopedic doctor. They took an xray and determined that Jacq's cast was ready to be cut off. Whooooot!
She started crying as soon as the saw turned on. It is loud and just scared her. She was fine by the time we walked out of the office. But I think that is thanks to the lollipop she got. She can't walk on it yet. The doc said it will be sore and achy for a few days. She is standing up but when she tries to take a step she whimpers and then gets down and crawls. Oh well, it will come. Here are a few pics from tonight.






The best part. Being able to take regular baths again!






The only bummer is still no swings, slides, parks, jumping, etc. for 3 weeks. Oh well, if thats what it takes to keep her out of another cast I'm all for it.
