odds & ends

just a few random things...

*danielle wanted me to take some 18 month pictures of sadie in her cute tea party outfit.
while i took some with her camera, mckinlee took all of these with mine.
aren't they adorable?

in her room

outside

in the guest room
(we kept trying to get a picture with all the bright pillows as a background.
sadie would sit for a little while and then...)

fall on the bed and say,
"lay down, take a nappy!" too funny!!!

*she calls herself sadie bella and talks about herself in the third person.
ex. sadie cwying (crying)
sadie stuck
sadie cwimbing

*paper coterie is having a fabulous promotion.
go here to see their website and get the coupon code.
they have beautiful journals, photo books, calendars, growth charts. you just have to pay shipping. i have had several things made from them and their quality and service is great!

*i might not be posting for a while. our computer is going to be overhauled so it will hopefully be a bit faster. and maybe i can work on my pictures without having to reboot 3-4 times!

*danielle and i (& maybe mom--i will have to double check!) are doing a no spending challenge for the month of august. we cannot buy any clothing, shoes, accessories, etc. for the month. i decided to do this as i heard some wonderful information over the weekend that got me thinking about my focus and goals.

*school starts in 3 weeks and i'm so not ready. i love summer and no schedules, etc.

*that would also mean my workouts resume in 3 weeks--and i am happy (kind of) about that!

*i am done with summer. it is forecasted to be 110 here today. boo :(
