My little troublemakers...uh...angels. ;)

I'm learning how to edit photos that are taken w/ our new camera. Here are a few I've done so far...The top one was taken of Taylor and I a few years ago. The bottom two are at Taylor's Nannies over 4th of July weekend.

Happy 4 of July!!!!!
We are headed home tomororw so I wanted to post this tonight. Hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday weekend!! Set off tons of fireworks (well as long as you won't get arrested!)

Summer reads?

Thought I'd share what I've been reading...

The Twilight Saga:

I just finished all 4 books in the Twilight Saga. Yes, I finally gave in to the hype. All 4 books are awesome, I even have mom and dad reading them. The movie is awesome as well.

I'm currently reading: Blue Like Jazz

So far I love it...

I also can't wait to read "My Sister's Keeper"...the movie looks amazing. But I ofcourse want to read the book.

Maverick and Me

Maverick almost lost his precious little life today. Well, I'm partially kidding, but kinda serious too. I woke up entirely on the wrong side of the bed this morning...I was grumpy, sick, had a terrible headache, and was kinda feelin groggy...thanks to the Nyquil. I was NOT in the mood to deal with Maverick. So here is how our day started...I'm in the bathroom, not even a minute later Maverick shows up. I warned him as he walks through the door to not even mess with me today. He goes straight to my magazine basket in the floor and starts chewing. (Anybody that knows Maverick well, knows he LOVESSS to chew.) I was like, "Seriously Mav?"...so I shew him out the door. He heads straight to my bedroom, I know what his next target is...my flip flops. I find him in the floor chewing away on the straps to my favorite black sandals...they aren't really flip flops. Oh I could've have beaten him. So I kick him out of my bedroom. What's next you might ask?? Well, the poor PS3 chords behind our tv are his next victim. This really made me mad. He proceeds to pull the chords out from behind the tv, 1 at a time and starts chewing. I have never even seen him do this. Don't even know what gave him the idea. After I give him a "talking" to, I sit down on the couch...oh it's not over yet. He then jumps onto the kitchen table, at first he is just looking around...as soon as I'm not looking he knocks my sunglasses off the table.

Maybe my patience is being tested? I'm not sure...but he was really working my last nerve today. He did finally calm down and sleep most of the day. That is until Taylor arrives home and then he punishes Taylor for being gone. The picture above is him laying w/ Taylor. Because you know, he never gets any attention.

Nephew-to-be

Here's my little nephew-to-be...hopefully being named Alden. I'm pulling for triple A's. It's so amazing how we can love a little one before it's even here. I know he's not mine, but I can already tell he's gonna be so spoiled. Love you Baby Alden and Briana!!
