How cute is he!

Sunday October 26th, 2008 at 8:03 pm

I’m just going to repost what I just posted over on my photo blog .. this guy is too adorable not to share with everybody

I brought my camera to the dog park this afternoon hoping to catch some recent pictures of my 2 little ones then this guy showed up. He’s only 14 weeks old and soooo tiny!

Here he is hanging out with Daisy, she was really gentle with him.

This yorkie is smaller then my mini dachshunds. With 3 chihuahuas and this yorkie, Big Boy & Daisy were close to the biggest dogs in the park

Well here’s one shot I got of Big Boy

And one of Daisy, and surprise, I caught her with her eyes closed. I swear this dog closes her eyes for the camera on purpose, she’s almost impossible to photograph! I have a whole photo album with pictures of Daisy with her eyes shut.

Voting Early

Monday October 20th, 2008 at 5:06 pm

I’d like to vote early but I’m having trouble finding information (and legalese translations) for the state & local amendments & candidates.

Anybody in Brevard or Florida who has some recommendations for me .. I’m all ears!!

UPDATE - Florida Today has a very thorough elections section including interviews with all the candidates, breakdowns of the amendments & referendums .. just what I was looking for! [click here]

Also - [Florida Bar Merit Retention Judicial Poll] - a poll of lawyers who have worked with the judges in question

Hive 2008

Tuesday October 14th, 2008 at 5:16 pm

There are sooo many picture to choose from, I’m going to try to share some that others wont. I’ve already uploaded over 300 to the Hive website gallery so head on over there to see much more!

Here’s the gang infront of the castle, 25 of us total, 11 are kids under 4 years old!

Here’s Ella with Dopey

Ella meeting Auntie Erica’s favorite princess, Aurora

Onto day 2 - which was supposed to be a camp out, but we had to stay inside because of rain .. we did get to play lots of Rock Band though

And still got to eat s’mores, thanks to Megan!

Baking the Hive cake - apparently you only need 1 box cake :)

Here it is all trimmed up and cooling off

Then final yummy result! THANK YOU LIZ FOR BAKING OUR CAKE!!!

The kids got all dressed up in their Halloween costumes and were so adorable!

Super Girl is taking off

Ella made the cutest pirate ever, I can’t believe that costume was only $13 at Walmart!

We finished the night watching the Gator game, but by then I was starting to feel lousy because of the cold I picked up in my travels. The next day we had a brunch at the Donald Barn that was really nice, but I didn’t take my camera out (again, felt crappy).

Weekend Recap

Sunday September 28th, 2008 at 8:56 pm

I’m bringin’ back the weekend recap

Liz & Ella came up Friday for a weekend of fun. As is our tradition, we did some cooking. Friday we made tomato, basil mozzarella paninis that were just so good we both at two! I also cooked up a bunch of sliders (mini burgers) for dinner that were so adorable and very delicious. I might have to blog that recipe soon. Then we flopped down on the couches and watched Sex and the City.

Saturday Nikki, Halle & Elena came over to go to the Grant BBQ Fest. We had picked up a 10×10 tent for the occasion (realizing that it would come in very handy for Seafood Fest, Hive and many other gatherings), but we didn’t really think about how hard it would be to carry it, plus chairs for everybody, plus diaper bags, coolers and purses. Eventually we found a spot, some guys helped us set up and we really enjoyed our afternoon of BBQ & music. Ella didn’t stop running the entire time we were there. Seriously I had no idea how much energy that girl had. She wore me out just watching her. We packed up a little after noon and headed home. Nikki and the girls hung out for a bit before naptime, its always cute to watch Halle and Ella interact. [pictures]

Saturday night we had a real girls night out when the dads decided to stay home with the little ones. Keri, Belle, Nikki, Halle, Liz, Ella and I had an nice dinner at Outback. The cutest part was when the three girls did a group hug when leaving to go home. So adorable!

Sunday was a day for relaxing .. and recovering, I’m sooooo sore from lugging our gear to the Q Fest. (I’m seriously out of shape). Eventually we made a trip to Joanns where I was inspired to make a couple projects, but when I got home I realized I have soo much to do this week I have no idea when I’ll get to them. Hopefully I’ll breeze through my Hive preparations and be able to do some fun stuff.

Next Sunday (the 5th) I head to New Orleans for a photography workshop, I come back Wednesday night, Disney Thurs, Hive Fri-Mon. Should be a CRAZY week!

Oh and an update on my jaw.. incase you were curious. My Dr. diagnosed me with TMJ. No, I dont grind my teeth, I didn’t get punched in the face, the only thing I can think that might’ve caused this is yawning She said if I still have pain by Monday (tomorrow) that I should call and she’ll do some additional testing. As of tonight, I still have pain.
