Happy Halloweenie

Last year on Halloween I looked like this-

This year I look like this-
Not the best week to have a laser treatment done on my face. Yikes! Jason and I were suppose to be 70 Rocker's together this year. Looks like I'm gonna be a zombie...no make-up necessary. :(

My little, bigger brother.

For those of you who do not know my little brother Alex, I highly suggest that you meet him sometime in your life. I've been thinking a lot about him today and how he is truly one of my very best friends. Lucky for me, he's my brother! He may not look it, but yes, he is 2 years younger then me. He's 6'5" and can grow a beard like it's no one's business. There are so many things that I love about this kid. Because I am in such a good mood right now, I will name a few:

1. Alex can quote movies better then anyone I know. We could probably carry on an entire conversation made up entirely of movie quotes.
2. He is an AMAZING musician. He plays the bass for a band called Miniature Tigers. If you haven't heard of them then you're missing out. Go here. Now.
3. Alex is incredibly intelligent. He buys me the best books for Christmas. He fortunate to be not only book smart but street smart too. He's really REALLY great to talk to.
4. He is a great traveler! The lucky boy has toured all over the country, visited Japan, and backpacked New Zealand for a few months.
5. He's a sports guy. He's plays, but mostly watches. :) He is very knowledgeable in this area.
6. Alex is very generous. He's there to give a helping hand whenever he can. He's a great friend. He loves everyone he meets and it's incredibly obvious when you get to know him.
7. Not only is he a talented musician, but he has great taste in music too! He is my go-to-guy when I need new tunes to listen too.
8. He hangs out with me when I visit home. I don't go home often enough but when I do, he's the person I am most excited to see. No one can make me laugh like him.
9. Alex is a movie expert. He likes a very wide range of movies. I trust his opinion when it comes to what I should see.
10. He loves his sister (me).

To sum it all up, Alex RULES. He is such an amazing person. He is everything you would want in a friend, and lucky for me, a brother.

Here are a few pictures of my lil' bro. Enjoy.


This picture is of me, Alex and my oldest brother Rick. Eric is missing in this picture.

The Hogle Zoo!

Today and tomorrow is October break for the kids I nanny. The forecast read, sunny and in the high 60's so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to take the kiddo's to the zoo! Jason was kind enough to tag along and help keep tab's on these little munchkins. It was such a fun day! I'd love to go again before the weather gets terribly cold and gloomy...








This is what happens when you give a 2 year old your camera

I have about 50 more of these random shots on my camera too...

Yes, Jason is very excited.

'Nuff Said

Happiness takes work. It can be hard and we will all have those "meh" kind of days. Today is one of those days.

Good Night fellow bloggers. Tomorrow will be better.
