Weekend Re-cap & Monday Hop Love.

Crud, is it really almost Monday again??  I just don't know how it sneaks up so fast?!  (Weeks passed by this quickly when I was pregnant...) I swear I can't ever get enough done on the weekends.  Not that my weekends differ too much from my weekdays, but I do have a list of projects to be done, and never enough time to do them.

Saturday we woke up and headed out to meet some other mommy's for our Saturday Strolls.  Kellan was still a little off, but well enough to venture out.  And thankfully so, I love these stroller walks; they help clear my mind.  Since it is a million degrees (okay 115) out we are meeting at the mall. After a wonderful workout Kellan got two new pairs of shoes from Payless.  He is up to three steps now, and using his walker everyday.  I don't think it will be too long before he gets it down.  The rest of Saturday we pretty much hung low.  I suppose I should have worked on my to-do list, but playing with a much happier and not so crabby Kellan seemed much more appealing!  (Did I mention the other things keeping me from accomplishing my to-do list is a severe case of procrastination, and a sneaky little smile from my Squishy that causes me to lose time...???)

Mama's little Drummer Boy!

Being Silly is what Squishes do best!

Trying to be sneaky and drum on the glass...

Haha!  It's MINE!

What should I do now that I have it??

Okay, I will just be cute!

(Notice his Big Boy shoes??)

Today since the little man was finally feeling better my SIL, (who lives with us) the Squish, and I all headed out to the Mall.  I mean what better way to beat the LV heat than in and air-conditioned building that screams for you to spend your money.  We bought some frozen fat-free yogurt, and were walking around when I saw they had opened up an eye-brow threading place in the mall!  I was in desperate need of some attention in the eyebrow department so I took a chance and went for it.  For $11 + tip I was able to have my eyebrows nicely shaped.  It didn't take too long, and didn't hurt too bad, but best of all I wasn't all red and swollen afterwards.  I definitely plan on going back.  Kellan hammed it up with every lady he saw!  Such a big flirt my baby is! 

Welcome to all the new followers I have gained over this past week.  You really know how to make a woman's entrance back into the world of blogging a lovely one!  I appreciate all the comments, and look forward to following you back and getting to read into your slice of life!



1. Who is your "what-if" person?
(What-if person being what if I married this person or am now in a relationship with "this" person)
Honestly, once I met The Hubs, this wasn't ever a question in my mind.  I have dated others and wondered what it would be like to be with someone else instead, but all those questions stopped when I met Rob.  He is exactly what I would hope for in a husband.  Sure there are days were I am find myself frustrated, or laughing at him, but I wouldn't have it any other way.  Cheesy, I know.  But I love him, and together we made the most amazing little man ever!! 

2. What is your nickname?
In grade school I was Emie.  I am often referred to as Em, and I like to refer to myself as crazy.  My husband calls me Monkey, because he says I have monkey-toes... I am not a fan of that NN though.  :P


3. If you could choose how you died, how would you like to die?
If it was sooner rather than later?  Sleeping next to my husband, and cuddling with my Squishy.  If I live til I am old and spent, peacefully in my sleep, hopefully still next to my husband.  I want to die first, I love him too much to live without him.  (Gee, that was kinda depressing...)

4. If you could have named yourself, which name would you have picked?
If you ask little me, I probably would have told you Samantha.  But thankfully, (no offense to you Samantha's out there), I didn't name myself.  Samantha just doesn't fit me.  IF I had to pick a new name for myself tomorrow, and it couldn't be Emily, maybe Evelyn??  But I am happy with Emily.

5. Who were you named after or for what reason did your parents choose your name?
I am pretty sure I wasn't named after anyone.  If I was a boy I would have been Andrew.  My mother just liked the name Emily.  I think she picked a great name!
