Okay, I've Cooled Down... Let's Take Two

Okay, I am not mad anymore about my erased post... okay, that is not entirely true, but I am over it enough to try posting again :)


So, it seems like a lot has happened the last couple months, but then also nothing at all... I guess nothing that important. Oh, wait a minute, I lied... Graham is potty trained (and I think that is pretty dang spectacular!!!). I have to admit, I can't take any credit for it. Every time I tried to get him to use the "loo" I failed miserably. But about three weeks ago we were hanging out with some friends that have a daughter the same age as Graham who was potty trained. It was pretty funny, she would go and as soon as she came out Graham would notify us he needed to go (he never actually went though). The next day he was in big boy "undies" and he hasn't worn a diaper since (even during naps or nighttime!!!... it sure is incredible the influence girls have on boys!!!)
WOW, that was easy! I must be a pro, because I don't know what all the fuss is about! ha


I recently got back from Orlando, Fl. Since I coached this year, I got to go to Nationals with the Varsity team at Walt Disney World. And I have to say, I LOVE WDW!!!! It must be that the kid in me never grew up... but I always want to ride all the rides and eat all the yummy foods, i.e. Frozen Chocolate Banana, Jumbo Pretzel with Cheese, Rice Krispie Treats shaped as Mickey's Head... yep, pretty dang delicious!!
Cinderella's Castle
Larissa, Woody, Me, & Buzz (this was from my trip last year)

The only down side of the trip was on the way home we had a layover in Atlanta and I left my phone on the floor before boarding... and it is gone :( and my "new" phone (Tommy's old one) drops calls like there is no tomorrow! Oh, well...

I recently permed my hair... and love it. I know many of you are asking "Why in the world would anyone perm their hair!?!" All I have to say, is since I wasn't "given" natural wave I fake it, just like sometimes I fake being blonde.... And since it is essentially free for me to change my hair as much as I like, I am going to take full advantage!! Next on the agenda... highlights and a full color... I mean, why not?!?!

(You can't really tell it is curly, but it is... and I love the "lazy" days of not doing my hair... it still looks half way decent!)

We recently had family pics taken by Ginny Jeppesen, and she did a really great job! I think she captured us really well! And I know I am super bias... but Graham really is the cutest kid ever!


I can NEVER get enough kisses! I will definitely be sad when Graham is "too old" for hugs and kisses

I love this family picture!


He is such a happy guy!

Graham and his dad... it is amazing how much of a daddy's boy he is... I guess that means he has a great dad that spends time with him. I couldn't ask for more!


Graham and me... I love this pic

"Yes, I am pretty GQ"
This is his "Abercrombie & Fitch" pose... what do you think?!



A great candid shot of us... I am not sure what was so funny...
This is a story board of Graham... these pics were taken at the end of the shoot and he was about done with pictures... it's hard to tell but the one in the middle he has the cutest pouty face!
We couldn't resist!

Annie I had no clue you still lived in CO AND you teach cheerleading at our high school? CRAZY! Is that weird to be there? I would find it weird to go back to school and then I would have flash back of all the stupid things I did, said and worst of all...wore! Very cute blog friend.

The family pics are really really good!!! I think Bella more or less potty trained Elena! She followed her lead so she was much easier than Bella was!
