let's try this again...


okay so last week, Wednesday to be exact, i was supposed to blog about my "things i love Thursdays" because i was going out of town Thursday in the a.m. well, it just so happened that my mom's internet (i am currently living in her basement) was out the ENTIRE day on Wednesday. not just for a few hours...the entire 24 hour period.
but, that isn't even my excuse. i was packing the entire day for our vacation, and, if you have ever taken a baby on a vacation before, you know what i mean when i say that packing for them is a nightmare! i felt like his entire stash of clothing, diapers, food and toys were tucked in my massive bag. and i had never anticipated how long it would take to pack all of Dylan's stuff and my stuff. wow. i am going to remember that the next time so i start packing like a week before we leave, not the day before. but, it was SO worth it. the trip was fabulous. warm, sunny, palm trees, junk food, being with my favorite girls, constant breakdowns of laughter, games every night...it was amazing. i will blog about it once i get the pics from my sis-in-law and madre since i didn't have my camera.

oh, and another thing. for those of you who even read this, i have thought about it, and "Friday Favorites" sounds a lot more catchy then "things i love Thursday." so, i am switching to that. every Friday i will post my favorite things throughout the week, or just some of my favorite things period. same concept, different name. got it? mmkay :)

one last random note in this post. i am super excited to get this on my doorstep tomorrow:


yes, this baby is the newest addition to our family. we couldn't be happier! okay, i couldn't be happier! i don't think Brett or Dylan really care...but they will, once i cook them up delicious treats and goodies in it! i have wanted one for so long but didn't want to spend the money because they are flipping expensive, but Amazon.com is having an AMAZING deal on them today!! this puppy is normally $269, well, i got it for $159, with free shipping. yep, it's a pretty sweet deal. 

See you Friday :)
