More family pics...

Last week we took a quick jaunt up to Flagstaff. Our friend Justin told us he would take our pictures in the sunflowers when we came up. Only problem is, a sunflower field of goodness and light is not a forever thing. I wish I had taken a picture of the field we were in only a month earlier. It was nothing but dried up sunflower middles. It was sad, but we got some pictures anyway! We do not give up that easily!

I am happy to say they did not all turn out like this one. I look like the flying nun!


Let me tell you something about my hair. I made J wait to go so I could pin curl my hair. We had a slight tiff about it. I didn't want my family pictures to look bad and my hair needs cut, so I have to curl it when it is in this state. So I made us late by curling my hair, then I went everywhere with a big ugly green bandanna on my head. Not a great look to be sporting. I got weird looks and I hated it. And for all that trouble and irritation, I looked like a flipping flying nun. So much for vanity.



I also had some lovely yellow heels to wear, did I wear them? No. Why? I don't really know. My head hurt and I wasn't thinking. In all honesty though, the flip flops are a better reflection of my everyday.



I like this one. Sam's cheeks were pretty rosy. He is one cute cutie if I do say so myself.



But my favorite ever just makes me smile.



Thank you Justin!

Happy times, the bff, and low carb is hard to do...

Not much to report. The boy is eating veggies.




He hates carrots, but likes squash. Green beans are up next. It's a slow process.


Today he found his new bff.




And this is him laughing at the store. That's where he laughs most.



I know I am boring, but this guy is pretty much my life, and I am totally OK with that.

I am trying to go low carb. It's not fun. I love sugar. I need some good low carb ideas.

But I heart bread and bread hearts me. It told me so, I have proof.


It's hard to give up on love.
