Miss Mess-maker on the loose

Meow!!

Happy Halloween from the Brocks and their cutest little pink kitty cat EVER! :)

And on another note... we have a swing 0bsessed child on our hands at the moment. One at Nana's and one at home, and this kid just can't get enough.

Right now...

...we love to try on new shoes,

play in the rain,


chase after rainbows in the desert,

eat/color with crayons,


watch some good cartoons (if only for less than five minutes),

take walks with the dogs around the yard,

stop for a drink...

...and a smile,

help Nana water her plants,

and play in my new sandbox,

with green sand stuck between my toes. :)

Only two more years in my twenties?!!

Say it isn't TRUE!?? Ah, yes, two more years until I'm thirty (scary!) I started out my 28th birthday with a much-needed haircut and shopping trip with my sister, while Rylie stayed at home with daddy. Then later on was treated to a fabulous dinner where I ate sushi for only like the third time in my entire life (yes I know I'm crazy... I guess I keep forgetting how yummy it is!) and grilled shrimp, chicken and fried rice! And of course, because you know we can't be without, a delicious chocolate ice cream cake for dessert! My day was perfect, and thought it couldn't get any better - until my mom and Todd offered to babysit for the night! Happy Birthday to me! :) And thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes!

Can't believe it's almost October...

How did the time fly by so fast?! I know I say this all the time, but wow, time has really flown by. It's almost my birthday already! (And no, I do NOT feel 28 yet. Not by a long shot!) A couple weeks ago my sister, Rylie and I made a surprise trip down to Albuquerque to see my dad for his birthday! He was totally shocked and we had a blast with everyone. Picked up some roasted green chile to take home, watched a movie at dad's "outdoor theater", and celebrated with family with what else - a good old fashioned BBQ. Rylie just loved it at dad's house and in the backyard, and the weather could not have been better. Coming from over 100 degree weather (yes, still!!) the cool and crisp mornings and evenings felt fabulous! One night I even got COLD, yes COLD - and it felt great!





And the reason why I've been too busy to make a blog post is because my child has learned to climb onto the couch. Very scary! But she has yet to learn that you can't get too close to the edge without falling off, or how to get down without hitting your head - so if she's on the couch I pretty much have to be right there waiting for the inevitable. But it is pretty hilarious watching her get mad because she can't get up right away - man, this child is part monkey I swear! Just hope this doesn't lead to climbing out of her crib, yikes!

And of course, last but definitely not least, Rylie received her first camo from Aunt Tracy and Grandpa Todd, much to her daddy's delight! Do we see a princess hunter in the near future (or at least a gal that will go shooting with her daddy!)
