A SMILE A DAY

A smile a day
-day 8-
I have no excuses.
Maybe I should change it to 'a smile a month' instead, lol.

What made me smile today? waking up to my Mr.
I love Him.
He works really hard to make me happy.
He is building my Mom a website for her business.
I have been told he is the best son in law, brother in law, and uncle in the world. and I believe it.
When you get him to laugh, you can't help but join in. His laugh is contagious.
He is talented. Seriously, how many people do you know that know 12 languages??
He rocks any piano like a mad man.
He is a genius.

He makes me feel safe.
He spins me around.
When I stand on the couch, I'm still not as tall as he is.
& he wants to learn to play the banjo together.
Yup, He's the best!

You can't even believe my mad computer painting skills. I know.

Last week...

I drove 6 hours with my Mom, to visit one of my sisters and and her 6 kids.

While we were there, we threw my nieces a Princess party
Went to the Park
Spoke of bunny heaven, when "Peter" (the bunny) died
Made a trip to the dentist for the removing of Jacks tooth
Took care of some sick little munchkins
Learned that Jack wanted Babe Legs for his birthday
found out what I look like when I don't get to shower for 5 days. You read that right, folks.
FIVE DAYS.
and snuggled a sweet little Shanriella baby.

Then upon my return, nature welcomed me home with a marvelous lightening storm.
Our road looked like a river, the sky was flashing bright, and the thunder was unbelievable.

Mike and I opened the door and enjoyed the weather. Until we almost died from getting struck by lightening. But even then we were laughing.
It's nice to be home with my Mr.

Only half of the kids were able to go home with Grandma, but they were so happy to see that Uncle Mike had driven to meet them!

This morning this happened...

If you cannot tell that that is a wet roll of toilet paper in a bathroom sink, then you need glasses. Why is there a wet toilet paper roll in my sink this morning? Because I had to pee and the toilet paper was gone and so I got a new roll out of the cupboard and was going to put it on the roll when, PLOP! it fell into the disgustingyuckyickygross, toilet! c'mon, NO toilet it germ free, no matter how much you sanitize it. So what did I do? I quickly fished it out. And then I freaked and was like, "WHAT THE HECK!" ... "WHY DID I JUST DO THAT?" ... "BRYTTAN, GET THAT OUT OF YOUR HANDS, THAT'S SICK!" What was a girl to do?? I dropped it in the closest thing to me. The bathroom sink. And after I did that, I realized that I was going to have to get it OUT of the sink, resulting in me having to pick it up a SECOND time. Lifegoeson. I sanitized my hands... a lot, peed, wiped with my new roll, washed my hands, and have yet to pull that soaking wet roll of awfulness out of my bathroom sink.
I need to go do that.
But first we need a Moose fix. Pictures of Moose can cheer anyone up. She's our little swiffer puppy, and is too dang adorable to dislike..

even when she thinks that your brand new yummy rug is a place to pee... and when she thinks that your computer cord is a good thing to chew on... and when she gets outside and a comes running in with muddy feet and decides to take the path that goes directly over top of your computer... yeah, she's a gem.

note: we love our moose. we just can't wait for the day when we wake up and she is no longer a muddy, peeing, chewing, puppy!

Last night we played with bubbles though. That made me like her again.

enjoying...

this song right now.


And thanks for the comments yesterday! I have never been so up in the air about HAIR before! See what I did there?

Also, for your sweet comments, I leave you this.
Enjoy!

It's happening again

I am wanting to cut my hair again. This whole having it long deal is just so strange! It has been so long since I let my hair grow out past my chin, and I can't tell if I like it or not. I need something new. Having it pulled up in a bun every stinkin day is getting a little, well, annoying! My hair was dark for so long, that I had to get it bleached to lighten it and now that my roots have grown, I have a two toned head of hair. And not a cute kind! the top 3 inches are dirty blond, and the last, 4, 5 inches (I really don't know how many inches, but it's a lot) is bleached. So to wear it down looks miserable. Plus, I don't really enjoy my hair down when it's long. It depends on how I'm feeling that day, and usually it's an "up" day.
So I'm coming to you, oh people of the world wide web, (really just my sister and Shannon, let's get real here, folks) WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST I DO WITH MY HAIR?!
I keep thinking, "oh grow it out, braid it, curl it, maybe do a loose perm on it, wear it down, look like you travel and surf.... etc. etc. etc." But c'mon, is that reeeally going to happen? Um, probably not. So anyway, let me know what YOU think. Do you like my hair long? Do you like my hair short? What looks best on ME?
Thanks ya'll!

Now for some fun:
This is a picture of me back in the day. I can't believe my hair was that long!

And this! I loved my mohawk. This picture cuts it off, but it was really big

Okokokokokokok.
Let me know what you guys think. I can't decide and I am not patient. Waiting for it to grow is so hard!

the long look

yeah, they've got my "bun look" going on. Hey, maybe I could be a model, lol

I would buy these

and make Mike wear this

And I would get Him this
because I love it.

And I would get Me this one!

I would buy myself this cute sweater:
and also these adorable houndstooth tights:

I would buy this Shirt for Mike:

And these for church or just to look amazing in while walking around town with me


Oh yes. I am loving all of these.
I think I am going to have to splurge and get Mike a few. I cannot pass up such wonderful clothes, and thinking of my hot husband in them is just too tempting!

Pull out the wallet hon, you're about to get a new wardrobe.

A SMILE A DAY

-day 7-

Day seven!
That's a whole week of Smiles! I have posted things that make me smile each day for a week, and I love it. Posting happy things makes me happier and I hope it makes (whoever it is that might read this blog) happier too!

Today though, is a Smile that probably wont be anything special to you, but it meant a lot to me and maybe it will remind you to appreciate your sisters and all they do. I love mine, and I couldn't ask for any better. I love them all.

This is my Smile for today.

I was working, and so naturally that means being on facebook too! And I saw that I had a new update. I clicked on it and I had been tagged in a comment from my oldest Sister, AuBrey. It made me smile so big when I read Her comment. I felt to special and was reminded of how much each one of my family members mean to me.

Thank you, AuBrey, I love you.

A SMILE A DAY

A Smile A Day
-day 5-

I will be better about my ASAD posts when I've officially moved into our new house and don't have all this packing and cleaning to do, I promise.

My Smile A Day post for today is this.

We celebrated Mikes birthday on Monday (you would have gotten to read about it had my html editing skills been anything more than awful. No experience there guys, c'mon. That's Kramers forte!) We went out to lunch with His co workers, and yes, I did get to play with the cutest little chunk of a baby, and I surprised Mike with a few Birthday Presents. Then we finished packing the office, the living room, and other forgotten about places, like the hall closet and the cupboard in the laundry room. But, in the middle of all that, we decided to do a photo shoot for His birthday. I might enjoy the self timer on the camera more than any human being should, but I'm okay with that.

Oh, and doesn't Mikes hair in the first pic remind you of a cartoon super hero? I don't know what super hero has hair like that, but that's what it always reminds me of.
