about blogging.

{Bad Mamma Jamma}

I have the coolest 4 year old nephew, {Rourke}. He walked into my house today with a
{mow hawk}, i commented to him that it was {awe.some.} and he told me, and i quote,
" I'm a bad mamma jamma for Jesus Christ."
{Seriously, he rocks.}

{Sitting Pretty}

Just a quick little funsie for you all! The first video is of Delaney after she learned to sit and getting to know the baby in the mirror. Amelia is the second video.


{disclaimer}
As you watch this video, don't be horrified....she's a {tough} kid who bounced (ahahahaha) right back. Sorry it's so dark...



Amelia seems to be a little more {skilled} at the mirror play....

{my birthday}

{in review}

casey, my beloved husband, has been working since he's know me to break my birthday {curse}.
he began the year he asked me to be his {wife}.
each year keeps getting better.
this year was no exception.
{i had a great birthday weekend}
and a fun time celebrating my bday the weekend before.

i'll start in {chronological} order.
on friday march 13, my dear friends Jessica and Jen planned to kidnap me.
{casey was in on it}
i was swept away friday afternoon to denver.
we went to a {tasty} dinner at an asian food place.
went to a {ritzy old rich person} bar in our hotel where we watched a whole slew of intoxicated, wealthy, {elderly} men and women play the piano and sing their falsetto hearts out. one woman was even wearing a large white fur hat.
{awe.some.}
we continued {after the singing was done} up to our room in the
{brown palace hotel}
to stay in our
{celebrity suite}.
I slept in a giant absolutely incredible bed, sprawled out all by myself.
we slept in then went to breakfast at
{crepes n crepes}.
yum.
did a little shopping and chatting.
it was a great weekend!

{then}
this friday, march 20th
i enjoyed lunch at rhasta pasta with my lovely {mom e} and friend tonia.
watched a movie while the girls napped.
my handsome husband took me out on a date to
{the rustic oven}
i enjoyed some ok raviolis, a delicious glass of wine, and the incredible company and conversation of the man i love.
then we headed over to millenium.
what's {millenium} you ask?
a tattoo parlor.
i got new ink. it didn't hurt too bad.
on saturday, the girls and i lounged around until about 10am. nice.
i went and got my hair cut. did a little strolling in old town. enjoyed some {me} time.
casey grilled up some braught's for dinner.
he gave me the {twilight} dvd....which i proceded to watch.
twice.
and we had a low key relaxing (after church) day on sunday.

{sigh}

i had a great birthday.
not to mention the {loads} of sweet birthday cards that littered my mail box all week. thanks everyone!

{it's happening}

what's {it} you ask?
gray.
hair.
i'm turning {26} on friday...and i was already having a mini meltdown that i will now be closer to age 30 then age 20....and then it happened.
i was doing the obligatory eye brow plucking when i noticed them.
gray hairs.
when delaney was about a year old, i noticed a significant decrees of hair on the crown of my head. I told casey about it and he tried to tell me my hair had always been that thin and you could always see my scalp so clearly.....
yeah right.
So i tried not to think about it.
{then}
when i was heavy with child {amelia to be exact} i went to my brutally honest turkish stylest.
he proceeded to tell me, i was balding.
{gasp}.
i started using some special shampoo and conditioner.
{nothing}
then, when amelia was about 5 months old my hair {really} started to fall out.
it was all i could do to not cry every time i took a shower and saw the {clump} of hair in my hand.
i went to the dr. we tested my thyroid. nothing. it {could} have been that after pregnancy i had a hyper-active thyroid that regulated itself...but we're not sure.
i started taking a {special} medication to hopefully gain some re-growth.
before long, i started to see these little feathers peeking out from my scalp.
i was {so} happy! my hair is growing back!
then there was today.
when i found them.
i've always been a hair coloring kinda gal. i just like to change things up, and i did that by coloring my hair. however, because my hair was growing back, i've not colored my hair in {many} months.
it's official. though i'm growing hair back there is a {significant} amount growing in
{gray}.
what to do, what to do, what to do?!?!?!?!
I think that women who have a head full of silver look {indeering} and {beautiful} and {wise}.
So what do i do? Let my silver grown in? Cover it up with Dark Chocolate 204 from the box?

What would {you} do?
