Happy Birthday Alfred!

Sep 15, 2014 /

I’ve been telling people that Alfred is going to be three years old in September and as I laid in bed last night I actually thought about that and realized he’s only going to be two… Ha! Mike and I are only two years married and he was born after we got married – LOGIC.

So I’m sorry to those people that I lied to. Luckily most of them were strangers from the dog park.

Today is Alfred’s birthday! He’s two years old and very excited about it..

That picture was from a few weeks back when we celebrated Jake’s birthday. This picture is from today.

Aflie loves:
Going on long walks
Chewing up water bottles
Chasing flies
Laying in the sun
and taking long naps

Alfie hates:
All things spicy
Bath time
and getting brushed

Ok, technically it isn’t Fall yet, but everyone I speak to is just loving this cooler weather. Yes, everyone at the grocery store, even the cashiers. I also love not having the AC on – since currently it is 65 degrees in our house. This is the coolest it has been in here since Spring!

But in true fall fashion.. I’m cold and wrapped in a blanket.

And in true fall fashion.. I woke up this morning with a cold.

I’ve been relatively healthy all summer and have been attempting to boost my immune system so the thing that happened this morning wouldn’t happen this year. I guess old habits never die..

I attempted a home remedy and took a shot of organic apple cider vinegar this morning. My insides are still burning. I would definitely recommend doing that after a few glasses of water, maybe some food, and certainly not right after you brush your teeth. Blegh..

But in true fall fashion.. we enjoyed Thursday Night Football last night snuggled up on the couch. I know football means Fall to a lot of the people reading this blog, and be reassured that it is that way in our house too.

And in true fall fashion.. I am burning a CinnaVanilla candle as I write this. It makes my insides feel a little bit warmer and it makes our house smell so good.

So here we are at the first signs of Fall and we’re keeping stereotypes like it’s our job. I love that we get all four seasons in Kansas and that we get as excited for each one. I’m already looking forward to the first snow, but first the beautiful fall colors.

Happy Friday, friends. Enjoy this day!

Growing out the Pixie {36 weeks}

It’s been two months since my last update (plus a few days since I posted a little bit after these pictures were taken) but yay for longer hair! I’m getting excited to actually go somewhere to get it trimmed. Don’t get me wrong, my husband cut my hair wonderfully while I had the pixie and while I was growing it out, but when it gets a little longer it will be tougher for him to cut. So I guess I will go to a salon!

What do you think? Should I keep it growing or cut it back to what it was at 28 weeks? I need your opinion – or I will probably just keep growing it out for.ev.er.

My hair is getting harder to style now that it’s longer. I actually have to blow dry it and straighten it for fancier events. Before I could just let it air dry and it would look fine. My hair naturally curls out at the bottom (you can see it in the photos) so I feel like I’m always working on curling that part under.

I really love being able to pull back my hair for working out and sweating though. It makes life much easier and less yucky.

Happy Thursday!
