-arizona lewis by the hand of molly hunter

i finally got to take pictures of the hunters this weekend and i came out the winner!

molly drew this picture of me taking their picture.

it makes me cry because i love it so much.

and because she made the little "r" backwards in my name.

what a sugartootle.

-click, click, click

it wasn't 90 degrees today.

i'm starting to fall back in like with arizona.

our relationship is on the mend- and with the forecasted thunderstorms coming tomorrow, we may be getting back together again.

because cooler weather makes for a happier, less sweaty, better animal sound making photographer.

which is better for business.

i'll post the videos on my photo blog soon.

but not before i finish playing with the lightening mcqueen carwash we scored at target today.

ps- brandon told me that i buy toys for myself more than for the boys.

pps- he's totes right.

-FYI

let's make a list of ways you'll know i'm mad at you if you're my spouse:

1. i'll wear my sock monkey pj's to bed

2. i'll rent barbara steisand movies to watch. alone. in bed. wearing previously mentioned jammers.

3. i'll cook only 2 (rather than the usual 3) options every meal. so you can either have mac and cheese with the boys or some of my swiss chard and stewed tomato soup.

4. i'll stop sending you "fun" MMS texts during the day.

5. i'll pick up a book from another tween series borrowed from my 8th grade babysitter in the middle of our conversations.

6. i'll eat the rest of the brownies.

7. i'll send the boys in to tickle you when you fail to respond to your alarm clock for an hour straight.

and

8. i'll blog about stupid lists like this

good thing i think you're the cutest thing on the planet.

cuteness gets you very far in this house.

-visual wonderland

-to lu hale- my blogging besty

quick. take a look. i'm not going to leave this up forever.

i didn't post the messy rooms. :)

my mother in law told someone i have way too much furniture.

she's probably right.

but thanks for the comment anyways.

-month 10

we love october.

decorating the house, brooks's birthday, halloween books from the library, pumpkin flavored everything and the brisk 98 degree weather.

oh yeah-

and grandma mccain sent some SWEET spooktastic pillow cases!

(come on everybody! grab your new pillows and come pose for a picture for my blog.

seriously heather? you don't have anything else to write about?

i'm FREAKING stressed out right now and if you don't sit down and smile i swear i'm going to have a melt down right now and you'll have to pick up the pieces.

boys- let's smile for mom's camera.)

ps- watching the boys eat on divided trays with candles and chubby crossed feet is my new favorite part of the day.

- bawling my face off!

soooo much has been happening in these parts but i'm not going to talk about it in fear of jinxing it.
i still hold to my 7 year old "jinx avoidance" practices.
i'm taking a lot of pictures. i just keep running out of time to post them.
but i had to post these of the wilde girls' baptism.
i love little girls.
don't get confused when you see several sets of parents with each girl.
it's just them with their godparents.
i have had to explain this to brandon every time he watches it. and he even knows the parents very well.

ps- don't worry meghan. the images aren't this blurry. vimeo messed with their quality.
