Abbie, Bud and Zabe

No really it hasn't been too bad.  I am soooo glad I took last Thursday and Friday off to get back into a routine.  Zabe really didn't have much of an expression when he saw me for the first time, however he was beaming with excitement when he saw Auntie Ann.  We had a fabulous time.  Could have done without the Tammy the tomato incident but I survived.  :) 

These are my legs.

This actually looks really good compared to in person.  Right girls?  My face I think maybe shows a little more of how much pain I was in. 

Mom and my feet.  The same day as the burn, ya know, we were just having some drinks, hanging out by the pool, one thing lead to another and there you have the burn.

Oh there ya go, here you can see the redness a little better.  And I still look miserable. Never again!

My girlfriends Simone and Jackie who I went to Aveda with.  They still do hair and live in Vegas, I miss them so much, so it was fun to bond with them once again.  It had been a couple years since I had seen Simone.  Jackie just got engaged to very nice handsome man.  So happy for them.

Only in Vegas do you see so much action like this in the sky.  (Em, you think I need to clean my lens) ISH!

   I love palm trees!

Lori, Ann, Shell, Mother, Tammy the tomato, and Ashley

Hoover Dam.  The waters a little low.

Lake Mead, where Michelle and I spent a lot of our time sunbathing back in the day.

I will post more pictures later and tell some FUNNY stories.....period.  I have had a few people wondering where the pictures are.  I will get some up later of the house we stayed at.  Fabulous. 

I've been busy with this lately, thank you everyone!  I am having a ball doing this.

"Oh honey."  That's a story for later :)

How great is that?

We had a great weekend.  Em and boys were down and it's always so exciting to spend time with them.  Those boys are getting so big and old!!  Where does the time go?  Zabe enjoys spending time with his cousins and of course his godmother.  Yesterday we went to church and for some reason he thought he was going to be seeing Em because while walking into church he kept saying, "Em."  And then once we sat down he said it a few times again.  I think he misses you already Em.

Not much else going on here, I put away a ton of toys yesterday to free up some of our living room. That's always a good feeling to get done.

Hopefully the sun keeps shining this week, the ground dries out and we can get outside and PLAY!

More pictures of the house we stayed at in Vegas.  Click on the picture to make it larger.  (I'm sure Shell will really appreciate it)  :)

A few other randoms from Bud, one morning he went looking for Turkeys.

This was his tripod...a corncob. lol.

And it just wouldn't be right to not have a picture of Zabe posted.  I really need to do a photo shoot with him, because it's been way to long.  Zabe also has some big news....it's been since Friday night that he's had a bottle.  Were all sippy cups.  FINALLY!  I packed up all the bottles this morning.  What a relief.   Once again FINALLY....18 months later!

Here you can also see one of my surprises I came home to.  A railing on the deck.  Just get a little stain on their and it'll look real nice.  The other surprise...Bud had my front windows tinted on the Tahoe.  Not sure if that was for me or for him.  :)

Congratulations to my buddy.  She had a little girl Isabelle Rose on Saturday morning.  Can't wait to meet her.

I hate to hear you are going through Zabud withdrawals.  That also happens to me in blog world....not that I read many blogs! :) 

These pictures were taken one day last week on a chilly morning.  Bud was off and of course Z wanted to be outside with his daddy. Bud got his garden tilled this day, and the next and got the potatoes and onions planted yesterday.  He is lovin' it!

On a mission to go somewhere.

He loves looking out our front door to the snowmobiles across the street.  I'm hoping they will be put away very soon!!

Zabe's been loving tractors, and anything he can push.  He will sit for a long period of time and drive them around, usually on chairs or the table.  His vocabulary amazes us seams like he picks up on words hourly.  Geez doc is still a favorite along with all done.

While I was up north at a wedding this weekend Bud taught him that when Bud makes the turkey clucking noise Zabe will say, turkey.  It's pretty funny, because he does it almost immediately when Bud starts it.  It's Buds turkey season this week along with Em and John who will be down Wednesday.  The wedding this Saturday is in Red Wing, so that will be nice.  Were in for a busy week, I have a couple photo shoots tomorrow and hair the rest of the week.    Have a good one!

I hope she forgives me.  She wasn't loving her new do right away but she came around.  How cute is she.  I love you Jenna, you have years ahead of godmother beautifying you!

So glad to be done.  She likes me again.  Again, How cute is she?  

I just finished with my 13 session in a little under 2 months.  So much fun I'm having.  I wouldn't be doing as well with this if it weren't for these guys! They are amazing.  Thanks guys!  I was just asked on Saturday to do pictures for my 2nd wedding.  Weird, but very cool....I'm not doing them.  I'm going to stick with kids, and dogs, and sticks, and cold cloths pins for now.  :)
