Boys at Lava Hot Springs

This year Roma and I decided to stay home and out of the dirt. We missed our boys but they sure had a good time up there. Beckham brought me home some flowers that I have crushing/drying between the thickest of Potter books. cute!

Stuck in the fast lane.

This is me in my moment of bliss, my moment of silence... and my moment of me time.. Aah. Yes. When both kids are asleep at the same time, Its a little gift from heaven. This is when a mom could get a lot done...as far as house stuff, bills, planning, Olympic watching, maybe even blogging, etc. But for my own sanity and quality of life, I usually try to soak it all up... By getting some shut eye myself.
My other time of quiet is basically right now. At 4 am while feeding the baby. Its insanely early and I'm usually zombie mode but I'm loving all the quiet time I can get, especially with the Roma girl.! (I can't sleep at the moment, so lucky you? Ha) Roma isn't quite ready either so we'll sit in the dark and blog together.

Super dad and my boy Dave started work this week. No students until next Tuesday but busy getting stuff ready. He had back to school night tonight and met all the 'cool' parents that he would be dealing with this year. He's a patient guy. Just one of the many reasons why I'm lucky.

Ok I've got to get to sleep. Catch you up another time? Good night and good morning to ya'll. TGIF baby!

B's History (*Aug.12, 2009)

I have been hunting before, plenty of times actually. I'm the oldest kid in my family and my dad is borderline looney bin about every and all types of hunting and fishing...rifle, bow, deer, elk, duck, rodents....It's ironically what keeps the man sane.
SO, being the 1st born I became his little buddy that enjoyed tagging along on many of his trips. My cousins would come along and I honestly loved the adventure and scenery. Although most of the time I was the only girl.

I took hunter's safety with some friends in 5th or 6th grade and my dad bought me a bow and arrow when I was like 12? I don't even think it was for a special occasion.? So I got my first deer tag when I was around the same age and it was for an area in Co. because you could hunt at an earlier age. I'm telling you, my dad is die hard so it didn't take too much effort on my part to have some crazy experiences. I got my first doe with a bow at like 12 or 13...then a buck the next year in Utah. (maybe I can rally up those pics for old time sake? and a laugh or two?)
SINCE THEN- I have not had the time or really a desire to go much. I may have gone twice since then...and didn't get anything.

And that would be my big game killing history.

A side sad story: during that 1st ever hunting experience I actually miss shot and hit a doe in the head that we never found and later saw that it had a fawn by it's side. I honestly thought that I would be forever traumatized. I could not believe that I had to watch something so sad that I had done.

Holy Hail !

I don't know if I've seen any bigger? I needed my helmet to gather these...

Fresh squeezed..and not from the cow.

Just like the good ol' days, right Beck?

PS. There are more times than not when I do feel like a cow.
*Just another perk of motherhood right?
That stuff is liquid gold though...so its worth it!

ONE month in this BIG big world.

We love you Roma!
I thought this outfit was so cute on her. It was a little NB size dress/onesie. She wore it well for our photoshoot and then...next thing I knew, Poop-splosion! She was up to her ears in a mess. After a lot of soap and extra care, I think I got them both fresh and new.

Work it baby.

This was the very first attempt at our girls pic. And the reason why we had to take a few more. Haha. She is so tiny and squirmy..I think she puked in this one?

kid sister..kid sister and me!

Beck loves his baby Roma! He is so sweet to her. He 'helps' me burp her, gives her a binkie, and always wants to cuddle with her.
