running the rock.

i ran the dallas white rock half marathon today.  i love to run.  i love to run for a good cause.  and i love to get pretty shiny metals like this one.

a place to rest my.....

i had my couches recovered about 6 weeks ago and just thought that you would like to see them.  i love them and am so glad to be rid of the old nasty couches that i once had (not that they were as bad as the birthing couch.....long story....ask me if you dare.....and no i did not give birth on a couch).  


anyway, i know some of you are asking, why did you recover the sofas when you have a wee little campbell who is bound to wreak havoc on them at some point (or many points).  well, my friends, when it gets to the point that you and your husband do not want to even go into the living room where the couches are for fear of having to sit on them, then it is time for a change.  come what may.  although i will do everything in my power to have what may come, come in another room :)

In the park.

i wanted to get go somewhere with cole this afternoon and i decided to grab my camera and head to cameron park.  it is still pretty there with lots of leaves still on the ground and i managed to get some good pictures.  oh, and i must mention, that these pics have been taken with my new, fabulous camera!!!!  that's right.  the moment that i have been waiting for is finally here.  i have my own amazing camera that i can use to take the quality of photos that i have been desperately wanting to for so long (hence my need to confiscate my dad's camera for the past 4 months).  so i am in love with my new camera.  i don't want it to be too far away from me.  i feel the need to pull it out a couple times a day and look at it (since i don't really know what most of the buttons do yet).  anyway, here is what we got today....by the way, we were going for the ghetto-hood look......

hey, are you...lookin at me...???? (tough guy impersonation) 

stripes + football

we took a few fabulous pictures the other day in the backyard.  i love stripes.  obsessed is probably the more correct.  therefore you will often see cole in stripes.  i think he looks adorable in these stripes.  

but i am biased.
