A peek in the chaos

I feel like sometimes,  i’m just too busy! Like this week, I didn’t do anything. I was super sick and feeling really blah and so I called in sick to work and then we had that wedding to go too. It was a blast. And now here it is, already Tuesday. My to-do and want-to-do list are already a page long. I love my lists :) So I thought I would post 57831 pictures to update with. And then I’m going to overflow your reader with 4 others posts. {all with different dates cause i’m sneaky} and then I’ll feel better about myself :) Which, by the way, I totally do! :)

Olivia loves Bernie! Forget giving me a kiss first thing in the morning. She quickly pecks my lips and then wants down so she can run to Bernie’s cage. Bernie, usually is hiding in his home hoping that the giant baby leaves him alone. I usually hold him and let her pet him. She always gives him kisses and puts her cheek on him for a hug. It’s so cute!

I cut Olivia’s bangs. finally. I really didn’t want too. I didn’t want to have to deal with them, I was just going to let them grow out. But I’m glad I did. She was not excited to sit still, however.

So much better! :)

My all time favorite Starbucks drink is the Caramel Apple Cider. Oh my goodness! I cant stand the pumpkin latte, it makes my stomach hurt. I looked up the recipe online {man, you can find anything!} and I went to my Starbucks and bought the cinnamon dulce syrup {it was only 6 bucks!}  and I made my own! I’m saving 100 dollars a month!

Caramel Apple Cider

1 mug of tree top apple juice

1 shot of cinnamon dulce syrup

whipped cream and caramel syrup {we use sundae sauce}

Heat up, stir and top with whipped cream.

I should of been a barista :)

Look how happy it makes everyone! :)

So… do you like my ORANGE skin!? I do not. I went spray tanning. OMG. First off, awkward. I really didn’t want any tan lines on my chest, so I was bra-less. But I kept my panties on. I didn’t know that lady THAT well. The stuff smells like I worked at Taco Bell all day. And by the second day, I was orange and carroty.  Whatever, it’s winter time anyways, I’m going to be paler than Angel. {take that Edward! you suck} ….

Liv and I went to Harvest Days. Of course, it was on the first morning, of the first frost of the year. Holy crap! It was freezing. It would of been WAY more fun if it was warm. And if Daddy didn’t have to work.

Her favorite part was the goats. She wanted to pet them the whole time. Then she said “goat” and pointed!

Saturday was Bryce and Rachel’s wedding. It was outside too! I was freezing! Luckily, it was super short! I think everyone wanted to get to the reception and drink anyways. We looked pretty HOT! Mike borrowed a tie from Adrian. It definitely completed his whole “look.”  I wore my pink trench, which everyone loved :) The wedding was nice. Mike and I decided to re-new our vows. And I decided that our wedding was going to be different. I feel like I’ve gone to the same wedding 64 times.

{feel free to pass up all the pictures where we look exactly the same. We forgot to ask someone to take our picture. lame}

I’m doing a Week In the Life this week too. It’s been really fun! I’m having more fun with it this time around than I did last year. And I think I’m going to try and attempt 365 days of photos in January too :)

It’s tough being a babycakes, momma, scrapbooker and photographer.

I've done the spray tan too (once) and I agree it smelled really bad. Olivia is such a cutie! You guys look awesome as usual and thanks for telling me where to buy the cinnamon dulce syrup! I Googled it because I had no idea what it was and it kept coming up with Starbucks junk (no wonder) and then I was confused LOL ... sooo going to make this soon!
