well well well...

my my my it has been a long time. well my original plan was to do a picture-a-day for the month of october, but as you can see i'm already missing 5 days... this week has been a big one for minnesota sports, starting with the much awaited viking packer game yesterday. below is the little man sportin some viking gear :) (last week i started nannying my friend meg's 5 month old twins which have been previously posted in pics. it's a tough job, not hard just draining. it's m-f 10 hours a day. i love them so much tho!!!) so below is little ty. he's such a smiley guy!!! (well when he's not crabby) such a doll!here he is talking to me and smiling all at the same time, what a guy!! :)

so many faces. he's about ready to start eating solids so he's always slurping and sticking his tongue out :)
oh, that face!!!

what a cute little guy!! vikings won!!! i'll do a post of skye soon (hopefully tomorrow!)

went to visit my softball friend meg and her almost 3 month old twins, skye and tyler. they are sooo cute and such good babies! and they are so wiggly :) we laid them down on the trampoline together and i loved their interactions!!! her are some shots i took.they're both smiling :) love it!!!!

don't know why this pic got turned, but they are holding hands!!! <3

skye is so precious here. i love her little mouth!!!

what a sweet, happy baby boy!!!

turn of events...

had a bit of an abrubt turn of events yesterday at work. instead of being done at the end of august or beginning of september, i am now done as of friday... meaning i have no job, no plan, and no back up plan. i am a planner. which means this action caused a bit of grief, worry and panic. and by bit i mean ginormous amounts. i have come to realize worry and panic do not help matters and am attempting to keep my "positive pants" on. yesterday was tough but i made it through and did not completely break, so i am dealing with it.

i feel like i should be doing so much more with my life and that there's gotta be something more out there for me, i just don't know how to find it, or see it, or know what it is. i believe that once i know what "it" is that i can reach it, obtain it, accomplish it, accel at it. i just need to know what it is!!!!!!!!!

frustrating and uneasy, but i will deal with it, push through it and in the end, i will love it.

the hangover & role models

wow. again it's been a while since i have posted a blog and i have pics to put up but they are at home on my laptop. so i will dedicate this post to 2 of the funniest movies. i recently saw the hangover in the theatre (which is a huge deal, because i usually hate going to theaters) and last night i just watched role models. i always feel funny when i crack up out loud when i'm watching a movie alone, but i could NOT help it during role models. my "roommates" probably thought i was crazy. there are so many good quotes from these 2 movies, however, i don't remember very many.

"i can't this weekend. the jonas brothers are coming into town." -hangover

"get your whispering eye in to the taxi" -role models

another recommended giggle-fest movie is forgetting sarah marshall. i think i could watch that movie over and over again!

"if god were a city planner, he would not put a sewage system next to a playground"

boy do i love to laugh!

had a great 4th weekend. celebrated a birthday, got to attend multiple bonfires/grill outs, saw some fireworks, played some yard games, got in a few naps. next weekend is my first full tourney of the season; i absolutely cannot wait!!!

little sports update:

• my wednesday night ladies team is still undefeated with only 4 more weeks to go! (well do have one tie but technically we have not been defeated) :]
• my tuesday night team which is new to me this year and is a throw together team from our high school, is actually doing rather well (despite having me on the team. i seem to get nervous or something and don't play up to my potential on this team but...) and it's a good time and fun to see some of these people that i haven't seen in a while.
• my monday night co-ed team was switched up a level this year and i don't think any of us are used to losing more then winning, but we are definitely now in the right level, we'll just have to step up our game. and we tend to really suck it up on the 915 games but...
• volleyball started out well then we had a bit of losing streak but turned it back around last week! however, we always have fun and laugh pretty much the whole time. i love those menardo's!!

taa taa for now. i hope to post more frequently now....
