TV crush tag

The tag says to post who your current TV crush is, plus two Runner-Ups.
I have to say that right now my TV crush is Eric Dane from Grey's Anatomy. You know, McSteamy A.K.A Mark Sloan? Yea, so sterio-typical hot guy and a total womanizer on the show, but hey, in my fantasy TV world, I think he is McSteamy!


My runner up is definately Matthew Fox from LOST. I have had a crush on him ever since Party of 5 days.

My other runner up is Jason from the bachelor. He's pretty cute.



So ignore those glares you are getting from your husband right now, and post your TV crush!

Oh yea, there is one honorable mention I have to mention: Bob from Biggest Loser. Just something about that guy....

Chirstmas-time in North Carolina

So we loaded up the whole fam and headed east for the holidays. To Nana & Poppie's house we went! We left just before Christmas and were gone for 2 weeks. It was a true vacation! We did a whole lot of the good stuff, like eating, sleeping, going to movies (I think there was 4 in all), hitting Frankee's-the indoor arcade/ride place--going to the museum, playing with all of our fabulous Christmas gifts, LOTS of card playing for the adults, LOTS of DS playing for the kids, and just having a really great time!! Oh, and Alora learned how to sit up while there and cut her very first tooth!

Bear Watching:


Eating at Red Robin:







Granny never left Alora's side. It was so cute!


The fam getting ready to race!




The kids: "YEA!!! WEEEEEEE!"--Nana: "Am I strapped in good enough?!?!"


AAARRGGGGHHHH matey!


MORE eating at the fish fry place:


The Watts in the backyard:


So sweet...Richie, Nana, Alora, Magwa and Shawnee:


This is where the adults spent the wee hours of each night/morning:


Making/eating chocolate chip cookies....YUM!


Indy/Carter:


Watch out world! Rich has a gun!


Alora's 1st Christmas:






Hmmm, TWO of these kids is not like the others!


Poppie playing with the boys:










Granny & Nana teaching Alora how to sit up:


Oh look! We are EATING at ANOTHER restaurant!


This is what the boys did 90% of the time...ahhh a true vacation for all.


Exploring by the creek:


Walking down the driveway:

Alora is 6 months old!

STATS:
Weight: 17.5lbs (75%)
Height: 27.5" (90%)





Alora sitting up like a big girl!


Alora is getting so big!! I can hardly believe she is 6 months already! She is hitting all of her milestones, and is happy and healthy! She is always giggling, especially at her brothers who make her "belly laugh". She is a great eater, sleeper, and just over all a GREAT baby!!!
We love you baby Alora~

Some days...

Some days are just bleck days. You know the kind of day that you don't feel like doing a single thing and are still hanging out in your pajama pants at 3pm? Well, today is a bleck day for me. I worked out this morning and never bothered to shower. Eww. My once fabulous sleeper, Alora is now sleeping in these little 15 minute spurts. She is teething hence not taking her naps, hence me not getting anything accomplished whatsoever. (oh, except write in my blog while listening to her cry in her crib, hoping she will go to sleep soon) And when I do get up and catch a glance at myself I pray no one comes to the door unexpectedly because I would fear they would call CPS because I was neglecting my kids who are still in their pajamas at 3pm (and one that is crying in her crib). And when your husband comes home at 6pm and you still have the just-rolled-out-of-bed look, and he gives you the raised-eyebrow-what-DID-you-DO-all-day-woman?!? look. Ahhhh. Did I mention I haven't brushed my teeth today either? Ewwwww. Well, TMI, but today? Who cares. Just don't come to my house. It's a bleck day and I would hate for my stank to reach you. Ü

Richie's 7th Birthday Bash!!!

I cannot believe my little guy just turned 7. The years have flown by faster than I could have imagined. Richie is a super-bright, always lovable, willing to do it all kiddo. I am so very proud of him. He makes it easy to be his Mom. (Now if I could just say that in 10 years!!!)

He celebrated his 7th birthday at Chuck E Cheeses this year with 7 of his bestest buddies. They had a blast!!! Then the next day was his "actual" birthday. So we let him choose anywhere he wanted to go and he of course choose Hungry Bear Pizza. So the fam went there and in sticking to Richie birthday tradition, went to Krispy Kreme afterward for his free birthday doughnut!!!
