a lot can happen in a week

happy almost halloween!

jay turned a year older.  nice birthday cake, huh?  this is what he gets when his wife is on a diet.  for realzzzzz.  happy birthday, jay!  enjoy your bite.  haha.  oh, and the sooners lost on said birthday, sending jay into a tailspin for at least 24 hours (let's face it, both of us). :)

the rangers have made it to game seven of the world series (who would have ever thought?  two years in a row!?)...and play tonight.  we could wake up champions tomorrow!!!

i lost six pounds on the above mentioned diet.  YIPEE!!!! (ok, in fairness, that was a week and a half)

i learned a lot about moses thanks to my friend, cameron, for doing a series in sunday school on exodus.  i started studying it more on my own and have learned so much.  thank you, cam!  i highly recommend re-reading this book if you haven't in a while.  so profound.

we had our first halloween party and were running late, so my kid was the only one not in costume.  i let him have extra cookies since i had already sucked at being a mom.  who forgets their kids costume?!?

out-takes.

cutie pies

some of my favorite kiddos

my six year old (you heard that right) macbook died, and i got a new macbook air.  and it is worth noting that it is the tiniest computer i've ever seen.  i swear when it's closed it is skinnier than my iPhone!

i literally ran to greet the fed ex guy on our front walk.  dork-out.

OH, AND, i had to rush link to the pediatrician before his office even opened to get FOUR STAPLES IN HIS HEAD.  ohmygoodness, it was the scariest morning of my life!!!!!!  mothers, get anchors for your furniture.  these kids are stronger than you think.

it hurts right here, mama.

first traumatic injury.  4 staples.  it was hard on me, but geez, look at that sweet face!  bless him.  this could have been so much worse - thank you God, for protecting our little boy!  and thank you dr moore, for being a wonderful pediatrician!  we are blessed and healing nicely.

there you have it, a week of our lives, in pictures (something i'm sure you've been dying to see, haha), all of which i hope will be capped off tonight with the TEXAS RANGERS WINNING THE PENNANT!!!!!!  i've waited my whole life for this!
