To err is human, to blog... also human.

Well I haven't been blogging very well, and I think I know why... I'm just to overwhelmed to try and get all my pictures on here.... I guess I need to blog with less pictures maybe, or just not care if I can't get some on every time.

Life is pretty good. Ben's liking his job pretty well. It stresses him out because of all the added responsibilities of management, but I know he can do it. He's amazing at everything he does... if only he knew that. The pay is better than his previous jobs, so we're finally able to breath and do more than get by. We're actually ahead on stuff.

My job is going great, I really really love my job. My boss is so cool about the whole pregnancy thing which is awesome. I was a bit worried, but he's such a great guy about stuff. I'm getting to do a lot more at work than just secretarial things. I feel like I'm really getting embedded into the group there... I feel needed. Super nice!

Our life is going well too. We're getting our garden started, I'm so excited. It's going to be so wonderful and beautiful and you'll be jealous. Yep. You will. Just watch.

Well not a lot to talk about besides work and gardening, that's pretty much all I have time for as of late.

Yes, I'm pregnant. No, it's not mine. I'm a surrogate!

Well, if you don't read my facebook, you may not know... I am about 11 weeks pregnant with a baby for my very best friend, Honey. She and her husband have been trying to get pregnant for over 9 years, and have suffered though infertility, tests, invitro and the struggle to adopt. I am so very excited to be able to give them the opportunity to be parents! I'm just thrilled to be part of the journey, to be the vessel that leads to their complete family.

I have received so many sweet comments from all of my friends, and I can't wait to meet my Godchild!

Easter Egg Hunt

April 038, originally uploaded by ToniScottPhotography.

Bekah's first real Easter egg hunt! By real I simply mean outside, there weren't any other kids there for competition or anything, but she still had a grand ole time! I'll upload more pictures tomorrow :)

Happy Easter!

Happy Birthday Ben!

This week Ben turned 29! He is my very favorite Aries! We had a nice week, I bought him a Camellia like this one:

And we went garden shopping for some of the things he wants. It was all very fun! My mom got him a bunch of yarn and some new needles, he's now knitting his first pattern: an afghan.

I was all excited to make him a cake, and I surprised him with a Beach Cake. Check it out:

Its not a great picture, I was tired and my light was terrible, but you can see the ocean and the beach, the little seashells, and Ben's name swimming in the water!

Bekah helped me a lot (mostly by eating the frosting) and she made dad a really cute card (no picture available, she hid it later...)

So yeah it was a good week all around, he's so OLD! :D

Slump

I've decided I'm in a picture slump. I haven't taken many pictures the last month or so. I dunno, sometimes you just have life get in the way... I did take some sweet pictures of our new sprouts... they are so cute and I can't wait for our garden! So, until I get my groove back, plant pictures you shall have!

I love the fish in the background of that last one. He was like, hey whatcha dooin?

This next one is one of the awful buggers in our fish tank. Ben decided to bring home a snail... it reproduced like mad and now we have about 100 of them! Tiny and everywhere!

I figured Dusty would have eaten them all, but not so much... maybe not worth the shell and all that work? Hmmm I dunno... he's eaten our fish before... look at the size of his mouth!

He'd eat you if he could! I just know it....

Ok so that's the randomness. In other news, Bekahs pretty dern potty trained, we have less than an accident a day usually, and she goes all by herself! I can't believe we're finally there. Felt like it would never happen!

Come out sunshine!

Long time, no Blog...

Sorry I haven't been updating much, but really there isn't a lot goin on for us right now. We work, we play, we have all sorts of fun.

I haven't even been taking many pictures. I think we all have a bad case of cabin fever at this point, and can't wait for better weather. (It's snowing right this minute, so who knows when that weather will come?) We're busy planning our garden, and getting ready for the nice weather.

One really good bit of news, Bekah is potty-trained! We still have some trouble with pooping in the potty, it's pretty hit-and-miss, but as for peeing, she can go most days with no accidents. At school its a little less consistent and she has some accidents there, but overall, she is really getting it and ready to be in underwear! YAY!

Hope ya'll have a happy and fun Patty's Day. Hooray for Green Beer!
