MY NEW BLOG ~ www.roxiesphotojournal.com

As some of you may have noticed, my blog here as been under construction for the last few days.  And quite frankly, I'm tired of it.  So instead of waiting days on end to get a response back on how to fix some of the issues I have been having on here, I went ahead and created a whole new BLOG (www.roxiesphotojournal.com)!!  It has so much more to offer than this one I'm using now and I think I will be much happier over at blogger.com.

So be sure to save my new blog (www.roxiesphotojournal.com) in your Favorites and visit me often and be sure to leave my tons of comments!!  I love comments ya'll!!

Happy Friday and I will see you at www.roxiesphotojournal.com

TYPICAL MONDAY

Have you ever had one of those Mondays where nothing and I mean nothing seems to go your way?!  I had to literally peel my eyelids off my eyeballs this morning, not quite sure why since I received a good 8 hours of sleep last night.  And I have some exciting news that's coming but when I awoke this morning I quickly learned that my exciting news is now weeks away.  And then after all that I went to do my morning errands to quickly learn I completely forgot my purse.  How can a girl forget her purse?!

Luckily though, I have this beautiful ray of sunshine that graces me every morning!  Her big brown eyes and that kissable smile can make any typical Monday feel like a lazy Saturday.

Happy Monday Ya'll!!

MOVIE REVIEW ~ DARK KNIGHT

This movie is most definitely AMAZING!  Heath Ledgers performance of the psychotic Joker is incredible.  Even if you're not into the whole comic book thing, you must see this movie just for his over-the-top performance.  This movie definitely had you on the edge of your seat and had never wanting to take your eyes off the movie screen.  The effects were insane!! 

I really can't say enough great things about this movie.  It's a must see movie for the theater, DON'T wait for it to come out on DVD.  It just won't be the same.

I give this movie a MAJOR two thumbs UP!!!

THURSDAY RANDOMNESS

Here's a taste of Thursday Randomness.....


Maybe I should...... Clean out my medicine box.  Lord only knows how old some of those bottles are.  And having a medic in the house doesn't help either since Leo seems to bring home everything from his clinic!!


I love the smell of...... Freshly cleaned sheets!  I dread sleeping in my sheets if their more than 7 days old!


People would say that I...... Love to take pictures of just about everything!  I think I may annoy people time and time again!


I don't understand why...... Heidi and Spencer make all this money by simply being annoying.


I wake up in the morning...... And first thing I do is check my e-mail.


I lost my willpower to...... anything sweet.  Help!


Life is wonderful...... When I'm with all my family and friends.


My past...... Was most definitely sheltered!  I'm still not sure if growing up in a small town was a good thing!  I remember being in New York City for the first time and nudging Leo in the arm saying "OMG, they have Amish people in the city"!  After many laughs and fingers pointed at me, I learned they were Jewish!  Well call me silly but I have never seen nor met a Jewish person in WISCONSIN!!! Hello!!


I get annoyed when...... My house is a mess!  I am not a happy camper with people who are careless when it comes to cleaning things up.  I mean how many times do you have to walk by a piece of bubble gum wrapper on the floor before you decide to pick it up! 


Parties are not...... my thing!  Now BBQing with some margaritas and martini's is definitely my thing!


Dogs are...... defintely smart and nice to cuddle up with!  We miss ours!!


Cats are...... hairy! And my face, eyes, and skin just don't agree with them!


Tomorrow I'm going to...... Take Jilliann to school, work on wedding albums and hopefully have lunch with Leo.


I have low tolerance for...... Annoying and disrespectful kids.  I think the south has spoiled me!


I am totally terrified...... of horrific wounds!  I can't stand the site of blood.


I wonder why I thought my life would be....... easy.  Juggling a family and a home is one of the hardest jobs I've ever had to do.  But I wouldn't change a thing!!


Never in my life...... have I ever had an ounce of alcohol and put my child in the vehicle with me.


High School was something that...... was definitely a growing experience. 


When I'm nervous...... I remain silent.


Making my bed...... is a daily duty. 


I'm almost always......craving something sweet!  No willpower!


I'm addicted to...... anything sweet!

SHE'S JUST A SCOOTER GIRL

Jilliann went from having not a clue how to do the "Step, Push, Step, Push, Step" routine while trying to ride her new scooter that she received as a fabulous birthday present.  But now, she can step and push like a pro!  We've even let her ride in the house considering she loves showing off for us now!

These are just a few of last months photographs but I couldn't let them go to waste as I do my bi-monthly folder cleaning!

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

HANGING WITH THE VERHULPS

The weather couldn't have been more perfect this last weekend.  Especially while hanging out with the Verhulps!  Once again, we had tons and tons of fun soaking up some sun while the kids played.  It's amazing how just weeks can go by and your friends children literally grow inches over night.  Little Jaeger is no longer that little bitty baby!  I think he's packing some acorns in those cheeks of his!!  And of course Marec acts and talks more grown up from the last time we saw them.

Thank you Verhulps for inviting us to a great BBQ and an awesome time at the pool!  We absolutely loved it!!

Happy Monday Ya'll!

GROWING UP FAR TOO FAST

Well the time has finally come!  Our little Jilliann is now at the age where she will officially start pre-school. (my stomach is in knots)  As much as I want the best for our little girl, it's just far to soon for me to put a backpack on our little girl and send her off to pre-school.  Granted, our church St. Joseph's has a hands down awesome private school and I couldn't be more ecstatic to have Jilliann attending their Montessori Pre-School.  But as a mother, I just don't want her to grow up.  She's at the stage where she looks to her mommy for everything and I love nothing more than being with her every step of the way.  But sooner or later I won't be putting her into pre-school anymore, I'll soon being running around getting her supplies for the Science Far, then taking her to her first dance, and lending a shoulder when her first boyfriend breaks her heart. 

Needless to say, my little Jilliann is growing up far too fast!  One day I'm going to miss those moments when she runs through the door screaming "Mommy, Mommy" and to be so happy to see me.  Because we all know that won't always be the case.  To have your three year old look at you as the best thing in the world, is a feeling I will always cherish.

So I'm sure as her first day of pre-school will be a sad one for me, I also know it will be a proud moment as a parent!  So stand back because I will have tons of tears, joy and smiles all at once.  I am one proud Momma!!

CHILDREN'S ZOO - FORT WAYNE, IN ~ Part 2

I probably won't be able to say this enough but I was extremely happy to have spent the little time that I did with my sisters, niece and nephews.  Living so far away from home and only being able to see your family a couple times a year makes it difficult considering I love them more than they could even imagine.  But being able to document our time with my family is most definitelty priceless and I'm so glad to put these images in our "Family Album of Memories 2008".

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!
