Some outdoor pics

Have a good day!!!

Hello to cheerios

As you know Madison is not very fond of having her picture taken.  I really wish I could get her to take some pictures!  With as much of an attention getter as she loves to be I figured she would love to take the spotlight.  Well I was wrong because I literally have to sneak the camera around the corner to catch a couple of pics.  I just loved her little outfit this morning-she did have my long necklace, bracelets, and the heaband from the wedding on before breakfast, but it quickly came off when the camera came around.  Little mess!!

Zuess

Here are a couple pictures of my other child . . my shihtzu Zuess.  I have been home sick for the past couple of days and he has been my little buddy.

He is due for a hair cut poor thing but he's still cute!

A little about me

I have always had a bit of a hard time finding myself.  Growing up I had very little self confidence and struggled with appearance issues.  Middle school was the worst and I struggled through some hard times which ultimately landed me in the hospital.  To be honest-I can only remember bits and pieces of that time in my life, which I am grateful for.  I think your mind pushes the not so good things to the outermose parts of your memory.  I have always wanted to be comfortable in my own skin and love who I am.  Now that I am married and I have my own little girl-I have become much more comfortable with who I am and what I have become. I do not want my daughter to go through what I did. I hope she will grow up with the self confidence and self worth that will guide her through every step of life. 
That being said I thought it would be fun just to express who I am and what I like so here we go:

I love the beach-even if I move from the shore I better be by some water it puts me in a good mood!!

I have found a passion for makeup. I love everything about it. I'm not talking fake piled on stuff. It amazes me how the right products and colors can transform not only a woman's look but her confidence as well.

I love to dress a little differently.  Even though most of the time I don't mainly because of the fact that I get made fun of.  I love all the trendy looks . . .leggings. . .booties . . . .vests . . . .mismatched everything . . LOVE animal prints.  It is hard to dress that way round these parts though. Everyone is a little -well lets say redneck. Leopard and sparkles don't exactly rule the fashion world on the Eastern shore.

I am a coffee/chai tea addict. I WILL NOT and DO NOT leave the house withough at least 2 cups of coffee in me.  I know its not the healthiest thing for me but you don't want to see me without it -trust me!

I always wanted to learn how to barrel race.  Sounds a little off the wall but I always loved riding and always dreamed of doing it.

I will learn how to surf one day. Who knows when though

I don't like expensive jewelry.  I will most likely lose it or MAdison will break it.

I am notoriously disorganized.  I am trying to change this though-an organized life is a happy life right?

I love to travel. Mostly to exotic tropical places.  I love the warmth-the beach-fruity drinks with little umbrellas in them. ahhhhh. . . .I am on a beach right now.  Not really just daydreaming!!

Well those are just a few things about little ole' me.  I'm sure I will be back with more.  Hopefully I will get more pics of our little angel soon!

Pumpkin Patch 2009

We took a trip to our local pumpkin patch today.  Madison doesn't like having her picture taken so I tried my best on the pics.
