We want a dog

And my dog of choice is a Pug!!

I just think they are too cute.

I have never, ever had a dog so to be able to get one would be so cool.

{my parents wouldn't let us have one}

Look how sweet they are when they're sleeping!

Bangs

I want bangs! 

I have never in my entire life EVER had bangs.

It's a long story as to why...

so here's the short version.

My dad hates them so I have just always not had them for him.

But I am going to be 30 next October 

and I figure it's time for something I've never tried before.

So I am in the process of growing out my hair.

When I get to little past my shoulders I will be going to get some bangs.

I went onto the best place on earth to find ideas {Pinterest}

and found some wonderful pictures for inspiration.

I am very excited to try something new.

I like the straight hair with bangs the best

and how it's a little longer on the sides of your face,

so when you put your hair in a ponytail you have not just one length of bang.

But these last two more wavy hairdos with the straight bangs is kinda cute.

I am staying with blonde hair though. 

No hair color changes here.

I am a blonde. 

I've tried brown & I just didn't like it.

What do you think?

Is there something you've always wanted to try on your hair but never did?

Funny Thing

So funny story...

We got Zane's one year pictures taken after his birthday {almost 6 months ago!}

And silly me never posted them.

But I was going through pictures today and came across them,

so I decided I needed to post some of them.

They are too cute not to share!

{WARNING: picture overload!!}

My absolute favorite

This last sequence of photos is absolutely hilarious to me!

He was rolling down the hill 

and these are the pictures to show what happened...

I love love love his facial expression in this
{notice the grass on his face, from the face plant}

Christmas Trees

Apparently the White House referred to Christmas Trees as “Holiday Trees” for the first time this year. CBS presenter, Ben Stein, made a statement regarding this change. I am not Jewish, I am Christian, however I feel Mr. Stein makes some very valid points.

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.

"My confession:

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejewelled trees, Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are, Christmas trees.

It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, “Merry Christmas” to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a crib, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her: “How could God let something like this happen?” (regarding Hurricane Katrina). Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said: “I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?”

In light of recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbour as yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said okay.

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.'

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Are you laughing yet?

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.

Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.

Pass it on if you think it has merit.

If not, then just discard it.... no one will know you did. But if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.

My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully,

Ben Stein"
