MISSING FOOTBALL

Thats my guy peering around the corner to make sure Mom's watching him at his Allstar game last year. I cant wait for sports to start back up. We just started Baseball, so i should be showing that but football is where my heart is. <3sigh<3

Sometimes...

Sometimes, I get tired of dealing with people. Not in a bad way. I just want some "me" time.
Sometimes, I wish I had smaller feet because I think a size 6 foot is more womanly than my size 9.
Sometimes, I think we have ghosts in our house.
Sometimes, I wish I lived in a one season state. 24-7,365 summer.
Sometimes, when you come by my house and peek in my window to see if I'm home, I stand very still and pray that you dont see me inside.
Sometimes, I need a drink more than you know.
Sometimes, I close my eyes and imagine I'm on a tropical island being brought lots and lots of Capt. Morgan by Johnny Depp dressed like Jack Sparrow. Who doesnt love a pirate?
Sometimes, I believe I am so boring that my own thoughts make me want to doze off in boredom.
Sometimes, when I'm driving down the highway I pretend I'm racing with the other cars and if I dont pass them, I'll lose my pretend race.
Sometimes, I could seriously kick my dog across the room when she pees right next to the sliding glass door.
Sometimes, I like me.
Sometimes, I wouldnt want to be my own friend.
Sometimes, I make up not feeling well so I have an excuse to lie around all day doing absolutely nothing at all.
Sometimes, just sometimes, I say a prayer for those who dont believe in prayer.
Sometimes, I pray that I am forgiven for not wanting to be your friend because you dont believe in prayer.
Sometimes, the world sucks.
But most of the time, its a great place to be :)

CROC FILES

fighter

My little fighter...thank you for teaching me what it means to live, laugh and love...

life.

WOW!! Life just got away from me this week. We've had snow, sick kids and will be getting Colby ready to see the Dr. next week to bump his heart surgery up. I'm scared. I'm petrified. I feel like I'm on a boat in the middle of the ocean and getting hit by waves over and over. Each wave knocking me further and further from land. I cant get a hold of anything right now. I think I need some me time. Maybe just a drive for an hour or so. Just a little drive to take me away. Just for a bit.....

My Rock Star

Me and the Colbster had some fun hanging out today while the boys were at school. He put on a show for me with his Kids Bob video singalong thingy...He reallllly got into it didnt he lol...What a little crooner he is :)..He rocks :)

Evil Eye

My husband is bad ass. I'm not just saying that because hes my husband but he truly is bad ass. He rides a motorcycle. He drives a pickup truck. He's a mechanic. He also got this new tattoo last night on his neck. OUCH!! Its not my cup of tea and if you saw us together you would see that we're total opposites when it comes to style.

We dont match each other as a couple. Its pretty funny actually. I'm argyle, hes ripped and faded. I'm pink and green pastels, hes black and blood red. Having said that, I think hes terribly sexy. In a way, I get to live out my wild side through him. He has a way about him when hes in a crowd of people to make himself the life of the party and the guy everyone wants to stand next to. I'm the wallflower. I envy that about him.

I heart him

I'VE BEEN TAGGED!

The object of the tag is to tell 6 things about you that are weird. I really think that you may be opening pandoras box with me asking me what strange things i do. Since this is visible to lots of ppl, I tried to keep it as nice as possible so as to protect the identity of the weird things that may involve other people lol..just kidding...

So heres my list:

I've been tagged by: Melissa

The rules are to list 6 weird things about myself and then tag 6 people to do the same.

1. I broke my ring finger on my right hand and it grosses me out cause it never healed right. My chubby cousin sat on my hand while i was lying down and had my hand up to stop her when i was 11. It looks very weird if i fully extend it.
2. I love the smell of vinyl lol..it reminds of summer in the pool.
3. When my husband is in another room and has the door closed, i stand around outside and jump out and yell "raaaaaarrrr" when he opens the door..He does the scared scream and the body jerking lmao. i am seriously mean..I probably should stop because one day i might give him a heartattack.
4. I love ranch dressing. A LOT. I love it on everything from pizza to chicken.
5. I'm totally convinced I am the reincarnate of a Titanic victim due to watching the movie and having the feeling that i couldnt breathe. lol yeah i told ya i was weird.
6. I am also a chronic leg bouncer. 24-7 one of my legs is bobbing up and down and when i'm falling asleep one of them is rocking back and forth..it totally annoys my husband and ppl are always asking me if i have to pee lol


I tag: . Kristen,Lana,Leah,miranda,stephanie

Ackkkkkkkkkkkk!!!

Busy. Thats my life right now. I havent had time to update my pic of the day. I'm so bummed cause its not really a true 365 blog..oh well though, I mean my life isnt perfect so i guess my blog wont be either lolol.. I got my tamron 28-75 2.8 today. Here is a quick mug shot i snapped today of my 9 year old. I'm so excited because I have a family shoot for Operation-Love-Reunited the first weekend of March and I cant wait to use this baby for that shoot. If you havent heard of OP-love-renuinted you must most definitely take a look at the website. Its a wonderful program started by an awesome gal in Colorado named Tonee Lawrence. If your a photographer and havent signed up for this service for our men and women serving our country shame on you. Just kidding lol. In all seriousness, if you havent been to the site and read about what Tonee has started, you should. Military families are important and the service that they do for our country is unlike any other. They sacrifice so much, its nice to be able to give a lil something back to them.
