My hubby and my baby

My mom got Berkeley her first American Girl doll for one of my showers. I decided to finally get it out and let her play with it. She was interested for a little bit, but then of course moved on. I wanted to capture her first time playing with a doll. I know I was OBSESSED with dolls growing up!

Now lets talk about the events that happened last night. The Suns. WOW. They were up buy about 10 more or less the entire game, and then the end of the game, of course, they lose it. I was so sad a bothered last night, I seriously didn't know what to do with myself. How did I become so obsessed?? Then of course there is LOST, which is always awesome. I am going to make the prediction that Charlie is NOT going to die, for those of you that watch. I am also going to make the prediction that Locke is NOT going to die either! I think that old guy that is a shooter WILL die, because they were foreshadowing that a bit. Now, American Idol. I'm not really that into the show. I just turn it on at the end to watch who gets kicked off. I'm excited because I am rooting for Jordan!! Shes from AZ, and shes an awesome singer, so its the whole package! I almost considered voting this week!

In other news, Todd finished his semester with a 4.0 AGAIN!!! He is doing SO good, I'm so proud of him. He starts up in a week and a half to start summer session. Its nice to have him back at nights, because for a while he was gone every night studying. He is also moving offices today. Their new office is on Val Vista and Baseline, right next to all my favorite places to eat, so I can foresee lots of lunch dates. Its good for Todd because he had an office in Queencreek and an office in Down town Mesa, and now he will just have the one. So not as much driving around for him. I am so proud of him and what he has accomplished. He is such a hard worker and is always determined to achieve more!

Sad but Funny

Today I was at the mall just strolling around and I had a BIG diet coke in a cup, straw, and lid and all that jazz. My cup holder was too small for it so I had to tuck it in right in a little crevice above Berkeley's head. Well she started crying, so I had to lay her down and give her a bottle, then she was happy. Little did I know, that the crevice shifted, slowly pouring diet coke all over Berkeley. Literally 10 minutes later, I realized what was going on. I lifted her up and she had coke in her hair, down her WHOLE shirt, down her diaper, and all over her shorts. The worst was that her back was bright red from the ice being so cold on her skin. I couldn't just take all of her clothes off in the middle of the mall, so I had to walk across the whole mall to get to the car, then I took them off and changed her diaper. Her clothes were soaked and her stroller was soaked. It was the saddest thing, but I really wish someone was there to laugh about it with me. I tried telling a worker at Nordstrom but she just looked at me weird. My sweet daughter was a trooper and didn't cry or whine. Good times at the mall!

I Love the Suns!









OH MY GOSH! What an amazing game tonight was....well, the last quarter I should say. I love watching Suns basketball and I have never been so into a pro team and never had such heart as I do for them! Just picture me, in my kitchen, jumping up and down with my hands up in the air screaming tonight, because thats what happened when they won! It was so much fun. I now have a headache and my throat hurts from screaming.

A whole new world...what crawling can do


Hide behind fun things

It gets you into mischief


Go Under tables








The closet... a new fave

New Found Respect

So Todd and I were at the bookstore the other day and he bought me a very detailed instruction book to go along with my camera. So I whip it out the other day and OH MY GOSH! This stuff is SO hard to learn, let alone memorize! I now have a new found respect for photographers. It is so detailed and confusing it really discouraged me. If I learn a tenth of what there is to learn, I will be so happy and hopefully I will have amazing pictures.

On another note, Greys was good last night! Pretty dramatic I will say. I shed tears a couple times throughout the show.... again, I will say. I'm totally over Meredith. She is a weak person and she does not deserve McDreamy! Its so funny how much I analyze these people, considering they are fictional characters. But its so funny, a friend and I were totally having a conversation about all of them and the dumb things they do, and then we realize maybe we are the dumb ones because we were actually having the conversation about them. Its just so funny, and I am SO guilty of caring about them too much!

And last, I wish all you Mom's a Happy Mothers Day. I feel like my job is the easiest in the world, and the best in the world. I am so grateful to be a mother and that I can stay at home and spend all my time and teach my baby everything about life. Happy Mothers Day!

The Crawling Queen

She LOVES baby einstein (mostly I do!) but this is her totally focused reclining in her saucer.



Is that a happy baby or what!?! She just loves to crawl!

Appreciate the Simple Things




I went to a wedding this past weekend and I got to keep the center piece. These flowers are so beautiful and they light up my house so much. I LOVE flowers SO much!

I Cant Believe!!!!

I cant believe... that Berkeley is officially crawling! She just started this week, and it is so cute and fun! You can tell she is so happy and so stoked to be discovering this whole new world. And of course, what would crawling be without getting into the dog food and eating it TWICE! And least it makes her teeth shiny!

I cant believe... that I committed to singing at a wedding this Saturday. I mean, was I thinking when I said yes? I love singing, and I performed in front of people all my life. But I haven't done it since....high school! I hope it goes OK!

I cant believe...that Todd has been to the library every night this week until midnight! I feel so bad for him. He even cancelled our tickets to a play off Suns game to study! Now that's a hard core student!

I cant believe...The Warriors beat the Mavs tonight!!! What is going on! OK, you know what this means, Suns TOTALLY have a chance winning the whole thing! Im so excited I really dont know what to do with my self.

I cant believe... That Grey's Anatomy was SO lame tonight. OK, we get it, Addison is doing a spin off show. Good for her, I just want to watch my show when the title is Greys Anatomy. And no, I didnt cry at all during the episode.... ( why am I so stinkin emotional!)
