I hope you never lose your sense of wonder

you get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger..

sometimes it is refreshing for me to read this book my mom gave me a few years back, it reminds me of the song "I hope you dance" by; Lee Ann Womack. the song is beautiful and she has such a soft-tone voice it makes the song that much better...

and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, i hope you dance....




here i am; dancing in my life, taking it all in..
the weekend came and went, quickly, but we got lots and lots of work done :) we cleaned up the back & it is looking really nice out there, in about a couple months, we plan to lay some sod.... hopefully we can get it rented before then. our little pool for kambria finally bit the dust :( it was a blow up one, so we decided if we wanted to get a little one for the back, it was going to have to be the plastic kind..or just make tons of trips to the aquatic center...which both sound pretty okay to me....

i've been taking a little bit of a break from the blogging due to some un-wanted pains in my stomache that arrived late sunday night, lemme tell ya, NOT FUN! i was hoping mother nature was just working her way in and would soon arrive and the cramps would leave, but alas, no mother nature and after 2 days no cramps :) so i guess right now, i cant complain... although i will be complaining if she decides to come on our trip... boooo! our stops for feeding and diapering of the babe will turn into some sort of diapering for myself...
totally what im wantin here!
........................NOT...............................
i will go with the flow...
hahah, get it?  yaaa.... kinda cheesy!
this week is already flying by like the weekend, usually the week is so slow and the weekend is so fast, in this case, everything is just going too fast... yah i said it, too fast... i just want it to slow down.. kambria and i had a nice walk to check the mail the other day and found this..

bella donna means 'beautiful woman' 

and the other day as i was sitting in the chair rocking berlyn, i found this on my lap..

I couldnt help but to sit there and laugh, i didnt even move to get up.. i guess i was there, 'taking it all in'! i was in luck that josh was home and could clean up berlyn while i cleaned myself up :) sorry if any of you are offended by this picture or if it grossed the crap outta ya... ;) it's life...live it and love it baby!!

yesterday..was.....DRUM ROLL.....
kambria & mommy day
we had lunch at fudruckers, her choice, not mine, i think she picked it because we still had our eye on the movie theater and she wanted to make sure we would still be able to get tickets, as soon as a large group walked in, she was ready to go! we had a lovely lunch, chatting about our trip to california, tomorrow, we talked about the beach, the salt water, the sharks, the sand, our hotel with our own kitchen, seeing aunt cc, seeing grammy, seeing aunt steph and uncle kev :) we are both so thrilled. then we talked about kindergarten :( i almost started crying just talking about it with her, i am so sad i will not get to have my mornings relaxing with both of my baby girls in the chair with me, having breakfast together at 10 am, and spending the day doing WHATEVER we want. she told me she has to grow up, otherwise me and josh will keep growing up, then we will die and when she finally grows up she will have no one and she will be sad and alone, that made me 204930243232I409823904 TIMES MORE SAD. she is going to rock at being a kindergartenER,i know it ;) she is going to turn into a social butterfly and she is going to love to learn.

after we had our happy talk(beach) then sad talk(kindergarten) we went into the theater and  we went and saw "despicable me" the kid movies are just getting greater and greater and i believe i love them as much as kambria, if not more.. the theater was packed, we had to sit on the end, which isnt usually our favorite spot, but we made it very cozy.. we lifted the arm chair up and cuddled next to eachother while we relaxed and watched the movie, along with the help of some sour skittles and milk duds it turned out to be a great show!

we ventured off and walked the mall a little bit afterwards, there was this new shoe shop about two stores down and they had baby girl HIGH HEELS, kambria was in show heaven. of course i let her pick out a pair, there she was just a walkin' down the mall.. :) soo cute watching her trying to balance in heels. shes a pro, dont even trip. we decided to go pick up baby sis and go home and have a spa night, so...we did :)

ok so i may have went wrong on mixing, for our at home facial.. oatmeal facial to be exact, next time ill be sure to follow all directions :)
i did her toes and i of course had to let her do mine...

she loves to paint anyones toes, she may even grow up to be a painter because this girl loves to paint just about anything :)

its now time for me to get back to my laundry duties today since we are off to california tomorrow to soak up the beach :)
and for the biggest surprise of all... DISNEYLAND...
it is going to be a true fantasy at the happiest place on earth :)
