Totally worth it.

We had some family pictures taken on Saturday by my sister in law Jodi. She did a fabulous job and even though I only like a few of the pictures with me in them, she took some of just Mason that are the sweetest pictures I have ever seen. Sometimes I get discouraged that I still haven't lost all my weight from being pregnant, but when I see my sweet little boy I think that it is totally worth it. Needless to say, after seeing the pictures of me, I am on the fast track to skinnyville.

Happy Birthday...to me!

Yesterday was my birthday. I try not to think how old I am it's a little depressing that I only have 1 more year in my twenties. I never thought that I would say that I am 29! It just seems so old to me. Time goes by so fast, it seriously seems like yesterday that I was turning 16 and here I am almost 30! I had a good day, as good as it can get on a Sunday. Cameron treated me extra special, let me sleep in and wrote me a really nice love letter. My parents took me to dinner on Saturday to a really fancy restaurant - duck liver anyone? I got some much needed new clothes and shoes. My Mom cooked me a delicious dinner last night with my whole family and it was a fun night! So until next year.... Cameron promised we could celebrate in New York for the big 30!

New Jeans and Cute Pic

Is there anything better than getting a new pair of jeans that fit just right? I had that experience today as I got to spend some birthday money early. I went over to a new store in Draper called Urban Blues. They have a ton of designer jeans to choose from at 40%-60% off! If you haven't been, you should go! They have tons of cute handbags and dresses and tops for really reasonable prices. The picture has nothing to do with anything, but I thought it was cute. I took it at the car wash yesterday.

A shower visitor..

This morning as I was enjoying a nice hot shower while Mason was sleeping (or so I thought), I was washing my hair with my eyes closed enjoying the moment. All of the sudden I opened my eyes to my little boy looking up at me, clapping his hands sopping wet in his pajamas in the shower with me. A couple of thoughts ran through my head:
Me: How did you get in here?
Me: Who saw me naked?
Mason: Silence (with a smile)
I was so curious that I lifted him out of the shower to see just how he got in. To my surprise, he literally launches himself over the edge of the tub and into the shower! I swear that kid never ceases to amaze me. I really, really wish I had a picture of it, but unfortunately I don't normally bring a camera into the bathroom with me!

Best Show on TV

If you know me you know that I like me some good tv. That said, I feel like I can honestly say that the best show on TV is Friday Night Lights (fridays 8:00 on NBC). If you have never seen this show, you are missing out. I feel a little bad betraying Grey's, but I can't help it. The second season started last night, and it was so good. The characters and writing in the show are so great! Please, if you haven't watched it, start! I don't want it to go off the air. If any of you want other recommendations here are some of the the other shows I love:

Grey's Anatomy

Private Practice

Pushing Daisies ( so fun)

The Office

The Bachelor (I swore I wouldn't get sucked in, but here I am 2 weeks into it, what do you do?)

The Singing Bee ( I would win if I ever got the chance to be on it!)

So there you have it. I am really not a counch potato, but there is nothing better than curling up and watching your favorite shows on TV.

Caught in the Act!

Mason has a new obsession with the toilet. He would play in it all day if I let him. What is it about the toilet that is so fascinating? He likes to unravel the toilet paper and put it in the water and then take it out of the water and put it on the floor. Wet toilet paper is not a fun thing to clean up. Needless to say, I have gotten pretty good about using the clorox wipes to wipe it down every morning knowing that he will make his way in at some point!
