I'm in love with another man!

With gushing pride - today I will be posting about my little man, CJ. No one warns you before you have these babies just how much you are going to love them! I love him so much - I can't imagine not having him as apart of our family. CJ is 7 months old and crawling all over the place. He has a tender heart and hates to be left alone. CJ loves his sisters - but, sometimes they smother him will a little too much love and that upsets him (as you will see in the picture below)

Lately, I have been setting a lot of personal goals and trying to determine what I want to do with my future - I have some exciting pursuits I hope to accomplish one day BUT, these goals are all dim in comparison to my goal of simply... just wanting to be a good mom. Not a perfect mom - just a good one! I have days when I feel like I have really stunk it up in the Mom department - but, I love my kids and I know that they know that I love them and I consider that a fulfilling accomplishment!

Favorites Vol. 2

I had to think really hard about this one. What is my FAVORITE item of clothing? The one thing that has been a staple to my wardrobe ever since high-school and in my opinion is the single greatest fashion item ever is....

The pencil skirt.

I love it - it's so feminine and classic! It's my favorite.

Favorites Vol. 1...Junk Food

This will be the first of many posts to come - of which I will be spotlighting some of my favorite things, some profound and some...not!

Today I pay a tribute to Junk food!

Who doesn't love junk food? Do I eat a lot of junk food? No, but I love it. My taste buds share some of the same interests as a hyper 3rd graders. Unlike most women, I do not prefer chocolate - I like the super sour sweet stuff that gives you a headache! I've never grown up or out of fun-dips, skittles and sugary bubble gum. I get a high when there is a pinata' around! So today I pay tribute to the good stuff...

PEZ

I promise these babies aren't just for kids. Forget the dispenser, they are a waist of time - just eat them straight out of the package. They are divine.

Laffy Taffys

...so sweet they'll give ya one of those headaches that I mentioned, it's absolutely wonderful!

Ice Cream

Ice Cream really does deserve it's own special post and tribute, because I love it so much (sorry sweety). I've always been an ice cream girl, I even served ice cream at my wedding.

Diet Mountain Dew
I've saved the best for last - so sweet I forget it's diet. I love this stuff.

Daryl Hannah

Have you ever been told you look like someone famous? My entire life I've been told I look like Daryl Hannah...from the movie Splash (and several other flicks -Roxanne, A Walk to Remember, and the Kill Bill volumes etc.). What do you think...?

A Sad Story

What moment would you say would be the highlight for children during Christmas time? AND what Christmas moment do you think would be the most awful to have misplaced your digital camera? You guessed it...CHRISTMAS MORNING. Could such a sad story be true? Yes, it happened in the Murray house this year. Now, don't cry too hard -- we were able to video record Christmas morning. But, due to the fact that I have horrible computer skills and know nothing about downloading video, those captured memories will not be be featured on our blog. I guess the sexy men in the white flowy bell-bottoms (posted below) is the only Christmas Day photo you will be seeing from our family.
By the way...I found my digital camera. You might be wondering where it was...? It was in the camera bag where it should have been - But I NEVER put it where it is supposed to be!!! I didn't even think to check there.
Happy New Year to our family and friends...we love you all!
