Time Wasted

There was a day when I felt like I was wasting time.

I felt like my days were filled with things that didn’t bring much fulfillment or accomplishment. TV, computer... you know, those mind numbing activities.

Then I decided it was time to make a change.

It was time to start some things I have wanted to do, but had put on the back burner, to do some things that bring a little more enjoyment and fulfillment.

So I summoned my inner Martha Stewart, my Paula Deen, and my deeply burried Jane Austin.

So I finished painting and recovering this lamp.

I learned to sew this apron from the Domestic Queen. (My Mom)

And started cooking recipes from currently my favorite cookbook.

Along with reading some books i’ve been meaning to dip into instead of watching TV, or listening to conference talks or Podcasts like “This American Life” instead of the radio.

waste not time for that is the stuff of which life is made.~ Benjamin Franklin

I Don't Want To Forget..

How much this boy loves his bath...

The day he drug the broom around all day.. (I'm not kidding, all day)

How excited he gets when his dad gets home..

Christmas Festivities

 

We had a great christmas this year.  It started with the lights,

Followed by food of coarse, we had a declicious dinner at Red Rock with these three yeah-whos.

Santa at the Salmon family Party. Cash was in Awe. 

 Christmas eve, Lambs Cafe down town. This is such a fun tradition with the Green clan. 

Christmas day, Cash diggin all of his new stuff!

And just because we hadn't had quite enough yet, a trip to Insta care Christmas night for a double ear infection!

The closet eater

I could hear rummaging in the pantry. I opened the door to find this little man had pulled the oreo's down, opened the bag and was gnawing away on one.

I took it away, and was met with this face.

I felt bad so I let him gnaw on it a little longer, sat down and enjoyed a few myself.

Annual Shopping Trip

This was our third annual shopping trip, and it did not disappoint. When lots of food, shopping, pedicures, and laughing are involved, how could it?

We always go the day after Thanksgiving, so it is a MAD HOUSE... but in a fun sort of way. Shop all day, and spend the night in a hotel. Its always fun to be with these girls and I can't wait until next year!

Cheesecake Factory anyone?

Getting rejuvenated for more shopping!

Three, but whose counting..

Three years ago, this was a good day.

And its been great ever since. I have everything I ever wanted, because of you.

Love ya, until next year

Halloween 09

We had a successful, very busy Halloween this year. The week of Halloween we crammed in 3 parties, pumpkin carving, haunted house making, and of coarse a little trick or treating. Cash had no idea what was going on, but we had fun pretending like he did!
