Toilet Trouble

What is it about toilet paper that is so much fun for kids? Molly just figured out how to unroll the toilet paper and she bolts for the bathroom every moment I turn my head. She can't open the lid yet (thank goodness) but I know it's only days away. The toilet is one of Molly infatuations... others include sucking on toes, licking the remote, and collecting dog hair. How do children live to be adults??

Me & Mini Me

These two are the cutest things that have ever happened to me! Molly and her daddy are two peas in a pod. Grandma Libby got Blake and Molly these shirts for Christmas. It's so true... "Me" and "Mini Me". It's funny how Mommy is chopped liver once daddy enters the house. She lights up when she sees him and could care less about anything else.

Molly is very excited about her puppy coming home tomorrow. For those of you who don't know, Zoe has been at doggy boot camp for the past two weeks. I will post tomorrow on our new and improved pet. Molly has missed Zoe so much and is very excited to pick her up!

Teething!

Most children use teething toys... mine prefers beef jerky. Molly discovered the jerky while destroying my pantry one day. Our pantry door is non-existent at the moment--Blake and I are in the middle of remodeling the kitchen--so Molly decided to take charge and clean it out for me. Ever since then, the two are inseperable.

If you can't tell, these pictures were taken in the morning. Her hair is a little crazy. But I dare you to try and take the jerkey away... it will release the beast!

A New Adventure!

Today was Blake's last day at Thomas Cole Custom Homes. We got the opportunity to build my parent's house in Austin (Blanco) Texas and couldn't pass it up! We will be back and forth between Austin and Dallas for the next 6-8 months. Blake finally started his residential construction company and we are official, "Black Rock Custom Homes". It will definitely be an adventure. I realized that I haven't posted any pictures of Blake's homes, so I thought I would show him off a bit!





This is just Molly watching the Super Bowl. She was so excited for Daddy that the Giants won! Blake was jumping up and down screaming. I can't not get across in words how much he hates the Patriots!

Picture of me ten years ago

What was I doing 10 years ago?

I had just moved to Washington State with my parents and it was the middle of my sophomore year in HS. I got involved with the tennis and golf team in early spring and thought I was the cat's pajamas! I had my first date January 24th (which was 5 days before my sixteenth birthday and my dad was not happy about it). We went to Sophomore Tolo, which was our equivalent to prom. David Meyer was my date and first boyfriend (second kiss). He ate so much crab at dinner that he barfed over the dock at the restaurant and into Puget Sound...classy.

5 things to do today:
1. Watch Molly
2. Buy milk at Walmart

3. Pick up the house
4. Laundry
5. Get out of my pajamas:)

Things I would do if I was suddenly a billionaire:

Invest most of it, then splurge with the rest! I would have Blake build me an amazing house on a huge plot in the Grapevine area (this really is the best place to live). Then I would gather my family around me and build them amazing houses as well. My house would be the Pottery Barn catalog. We would give to the church, Oprah's Angel Foundation, and other charities while eating Bon Bons all day! j/k, let's hope I would be productive.

Find your Candidate

Surprised? My test score said Mitt was the best candidate for me.

I found this link very helpful when trying to choose the best presidential candidate. I must admit that I didn't know how to answer some of the questions, but it was interesting to see how each candidate matches up to my values.

Who are you voting for???

My runner-up for candidates was Huckabee. I think he's a great guy, but I could never vote for someone who reminds me of President Logan from 24.
