Look-alike Meter Round 2

I wanted to see if this has changed now that Carson is older.  It has changed a bit...before it was 50/50 between me and Dave now it says he looks a bit more like me!  I love it!

Did Everyone Enjoy the 4th?

We had a great 4th! We hope everyone else did too! Thursday night we got asked to go out with Dave's boss and girlfriend. We went downtown to the Steve Miller Band concert at the Target Center. We had a great time and even got our own suite for a while! It was a blast. We took a cab to a bar that my girlfriend was working at and closed the bar down. We don't do that terribly often so it was fun. My sister and my parents watched Carson overnight for us so that was wonderfully nice especially since going out was completely last minute.

We went to Melby's for the 4th...like every year. It is always so much fun. I was curious to see how Carson did in the pool. At first he was a bit scared. He even has issues getting his hair wet in the bath right now, but as soon as he figured out he could go up and down the stairs of the pool he was good and soon enough he was having a blast with Dave and I. He even jumped off the edge to one of us in the pool. I'm glad he did so well. We could not keep him out of the pool once he figured out how much he loved it!

We came home and crashed pretty much immediately. We had been up so late and so busy yesterday so we were all ready for bed right away. Today my sister is coming over to hang with us and tomorrow we're going over to my parent's house for lunch and to hang out in the afternoon and then Monday is my 1st Pampered Chef show ever. Cue the panic. My sister is coming over today and we're cooking the recipe again today just so I can be sure I'm comfortable with it. I'm sure it will be fine.

Well, here are some of my favorite pictures from yesterday. Enjoy!

Bad Blogger

I've been too busy to blog. I know, I know...I'm terrible but what can ya do? It's officially summer, we've been enjoying the weather and getting out and about as much as possible.

I bought roller blades a few weekends ago and the first time I put them on was like torture...today wasn't so bad. Carson and I went about a 1/2 mile after he ate dinner. He loves being pushed in the stroller while som
eone is pushing him with roller blades and to be honest it helps me keep my balance to have something to hang on to. We went around a few blocks before I felt like I might die and headed home. Haha.

I still am trying to book a Pampered Chef show in July. I have a few people who have given me the "well let me know if you start to get desperate" lol. Hopefully I won't have to rely on them. Regular work has been going good...except busy. I had a few weeks of sort of down time and that is out the window. Now, I'll leave work an all the sudden I'm starving and I'll realize that I haven't gotten up from my desk all day to either eat or pee. Haha, I guess it makes the days fly by.


I don't have any new pictures of Carson at the moment, but I should have a bunch from the 4th. We're going to the Melby's like usual and I'm really excited to see how Carson does with the pool. I guess at Daycare today he went in their pool and didn't love it but we'll see how it goes. For now, I'll leave you with a picture of my FAVORITE flower. It's blooming right now and will look awesome for a few weeks. I swear the months of it just looking like a strange green plant are totally worth how it looks when it's blooming. Reminds me of a tropical flower or something!
