Weddings

One of my co-workers got married this weekend.

She had it at the Will Roger's Park. We walked around looking at everything. The place was just begging to have it's picture taken.

I mean just look it at it!

It was super hot.

But absolutely gorgeous.

My husband looking regal.

The wedding was superb.

Labor Day Weekend

It's going to be a hot one today. They are forecasting 106 as the high. We have been blessed with an unusually cool, rainy summer so I almost have forgotten how oppressive it can get.

We plan on taking it easy this holiday weekend. Doing some household chores, yard work and then we have a wedding to go to this evening.

Outside. 

In 106 temperatures.

I think I will pack my purse with ice bags and just leave it in my lap. Do you think it will work?

Pictures to follow.

grrrrr

I am just a tiny bit frustrated with my nexus 4 phone. I takes excellent pictures but since G+ updated it won't load the full photos on to my G+ account. :P

Here are some recent shots I have taken. Hopefully they load 100% so you can enjoy them in all their digital glory.

 

dinner time

Maddy started back to school last week so that means supper busy evenings again. She is a football manger so that means after school practice. When you add in church bible study, praise band practice, meetings, and Sunday night credo, it makes for a very busy mom. So I decided to do a marathon Sat and prep all my meals for the week. We found a great deal on hamburger so we'd bought 20 lbs of it. I divided some up to freeze then used some for our meals for the week. 

I made meatballs, beef enchilada mix, taco mix, and meat loaf. I also cooked rice and froze it for easy side dishes too.

Here's is what my freezer currently looks like. I had my hubby put the meatloaf in while we were still at church. It was nice coming home to a hot, homemade meal that was not one of those frozen entrees full of sodium and preservatives.

dog days of summer

Been staying busy. Here I am debating if I should eat this cupcake. Of course I did.but I have been on weight watchers and lost 15 pounds. I have learned food is a balancing act. You need it to even out. Big lunch light dinner add in exercise and you have an equal equation. And it really works!

I have been taking some awesome pics with my camera phone. I have a nexus 4. I love, love, love it!

This adorable little guy stole our hearts. Even though we weren't looking to adopt but now that he had been with us a couple of days and a potential home did not work out we are keeping him.

I put on my normal jean shorts and they just fell off me. I tried on my size 8 and they fit. Yeah!

This is what I brought to a 4th of July party we went to.

My sweet baby boy.

busy life

Despite being sick for most of this month I have stayed busy.

 

I discovered snapseed. A super easy photo editing app. You can make anything look gorgeous with it.

 

Send my youngest off on a mission trip with our youth group from church.

 

Tried to get a picture of the supermoon but was impeded by haze. Still got a neat shot after all.

Had more fun with snapseed.

 

Got some great shots of sun rises. Yes to those of you who do not get up for work at 4:30am --they happen everyday and are glorious.

 

Had a great time with my nephews. We went to Pops. A place off old route 66 that sells over 200 types of soda.

 

We also had a Star Wars marathon.

 

Got to ride a Seagway

 

Celebrated my 5 year anniversary at Cattleman's.

 

My hubby had never been. See that smile. Now he understands what a great steak tastes like.

 

And I kitten sat for my daughter.
