//beachy//

rey and i took landon to the beach this past saturday. upon arriving we set up our chairs, towels and landon's toys in hopes he would be a sweet angel baby and sit in the sand playing merrily with his turtle sand castle builder. he however, had other plans. at first he grabbed fist fulls of sand tossing them casually in the air. our beach neighbors really enjoyed that. then he decided he should eat some. from the look on his face i can vouch beach sand does not taste as good as dirt. suddenly, out of nowhere a bell went off and he realized there was a never ending bed of water awaiting him. he was off. sprinting towards the ocean with rey behind him. once he saw the water it was over. no more sand. he then spent the next hour diving head first into waves and laughing as they knocked him over. at least that's what i hear happened. i was sitting from the comfort of my beach chair. i mean. someone has to always be the observer. 

i swear he isn't as burnt as he appears. 

i scream. you scream.

i scream. you scream. we all scream for high waisted ice cream shorts. or maybe that's just me doing all the screaming? either way. i love a quirky print and no one will ever convince me otherwise.

burrito baby

so. i was a bit hesitant to post these photos. i kept asking rey "are you sure i don't look pregnant?" "no. you don't look pregnant." "maybe i don't look pregnant maybe it's more like i ate an entire chipotle burrito?" he would then reply "no, and i don't even know what that means??" i then ended the conversation. i mean. who doesn't know about a burrito baby?

let the record state: i do not have an actual baby or a burrito in my belly.

toddler play

my child roughly has 18 million toys. give or take a few. they all sit arranged in their cubbies on his toy toy shelf. he occasionally will run over, throw a box of cars to the ground and shuffle about in them then be on his merry way. that brings us to our ottoman. for some odd reason his favorite activity is to climb on our wooden ottoman that sits in the middle of our living room. he will start out on the couch. acting like he isn't going to approach the ottoman. then out of the corner of my eye i catch what appears to be a lightening fast object jumping from the couch to the ottoman. he then stands on the ottoman. sometimes watching tv. sometimes just taunting me with his tricks. other times he decides it would be best to watch tv upside down. clothes are optional in his opinion. sometimes he would rather wear a diaper with a hat while doing his ottoman antics. eventually i get irritated myself composed and not angry and we head outside for some outdoor time. which usually involves teetering on his playhouse ladder or darting from the back yard to the front yard. boys. non stop. all day. every day. and i wouldn't want it any other way. 

twirlin vertigo

and then ever so often you get the urge to go outside and twirl. so i did. then i realized i'm 30 and not 13 and got all dizzy. then the hypochondriac harry came out in me and i thought maybe i had vertigo. i then spent the day asking rey every half our or so "you think i'm ok, right, you can't get vertigo from spinning yourself, right? i mean i don't think that happens, right?"

monday. monday.

it's monday. on top of that it's dreary here. like annoying dreary. it doesn't quite rain but it keeps looking like it's going to. which does wonders for my hair. and by wonders i mean it leaves my bangs awkwardly stuck to my forehead like a chubby 12 year old that just got done playing a grueling battle of dodgeball.

fish!

last week landon and i along with my mom spent the morning at seaworld. we met shamu. saw the shamu show and the sea lion and otter show. after the shows landon decided that was a good time for a nap due to the entire size small popcorn he consumed. next time i will just buy popcorn and stay in the comfort of my air conditioned house. just kidding. kinda. like 80% kidding. 

beachy

rey and i went to palm coast on sunday to do a run through with an upcoming bride and groom. we decided to make the most of the afternoon and stopped at a local restaurant on the beach. i love beach dives. mainly for their terrible cover bands and 75-year-old bikini wearers getting toasty off of miller high life. it's not called the champagne of beers for nothing.
