Flat out TRIPPLE BOOKED busy

Um... ain't gonna lie. I probably have a few too many things going on and not enough hours in the day. That burning the candle at both ends is TOUGH in the summer time. ;)

And mostly - we just wanna play with these guys.

Jeff took them for a ride on the light rail. By the looks of this photo they LOVED IT.

Other goings on.

Showers.

Weddings.

Vacations.

Running. (HA)

Logos.

Invites.

Stationery. 

HOLIDAY 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give me a few more days to catch up.

*breathe*

Inspiration No. 2

Heard a great story on NPR this morning about a great American painter that passed away recently.

CY TWOMBLY

I liked the story so much I had to log onto NPR to see if there were any photos. There wasn't so I googled and much to my surprise - LOVED the paintings.

Hope these make you smile, too.

All photos from www.cytwombly.info.

Inspiration No. 1

I think I am going to start a weekly or, well, just whenever I find said inspiration post.

I really liked that BE AWESOME picture.

I saw this one today.

Found this @ www.designmom.com. She hauled her kids to France for a year. 

All I did was get my kids to school with clothes on. We were late.

Race Car Party

We piled on the fun this weekend celebrating 4 & 40! We pulled out all the stops. While - it wasn't over the top Martha (I do NOT have the time, energy or focus to do that) it did turn out pretty nice. ;)

The race was a success!

(the pre-race face!)

All lined up. On your marks!

GET SET!

GOOOOOO......!!!!!!

Love our race cake. 

SO do these two.

This face says DON'T MESS while I'm eating my cake. ;) There was only 1 small corner piece left for me to have w/ my coffee in the AM. (which I enjoyed!)

Overview of the crowd inspecting the new present. ;) Looks like its a hit!

Two of SEVERAL attempts to take a family shot. (thanks Sa-Sa)

I've never seen so many CUTE BOOTIES in one area at one time!

There were water balloons, water slides & squirt guns. It wasn't intended to be a water-themed party but I suppose that's what happens late night when you involve 4 yr olds.

We stayed up WAAAAYY TO LATE...
but a good party never ends until someone crashes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLIE & JEFF!
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!

I declare!

I've been avoiding the Pioneer Woman for about 3 months. SHE COOKS W/ BUTTER & CREAM.
That didn't really work w/ my low-calorie diet. (see: Tracy Anderson Method)

I was cruising around the web - and I spotted someone posting a post on her post here:

ICED COFFEE!!!!!
Done right!
I'm gonna try it this weekend. It's supposed to be 90 degrees. SO HOT.

And no, I will not be naughty & put cream in it.
Although, I can't make promises on only 1 spoonful of sugar.

Good mantra

Good reminder to just GET IT DONE ALREADY!!!!!!!

Saw this print and I like where she put it in her house.
Right when you're walking out the door.

Awesome.http://www.etsy.com/shop/LuciusArt?ref=pr_shop_more

Summertime birthdays mean....

WATER BALLOONS!!!!

We had a fun day up in Boulder celebrating Sa-Sa's birthday! SO FUN

Charlie checking on Aldus.

Picnic-ing in the park w/ yummy sandos & salad in your hands.

I can't believe this guy kept his sun hat on for the most part.

HUGE GAME of WATERBALLOONS!

Twin sandwich.

Charlie & Pops were a great team. (That smile & excitement is ridiculous)

Anticipation!!!!

This shot is about 2 seconds shy of a Sa-Sa water explosion!!!!

Happy Birthday Sa-Sa!
