Vacation 2009!

I have been terrible about blogging, sorry about that. Life has been hectic and crazy, as usual, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Today, after work, we leave for Kansas to see Nana and Papa S. We will get some relaxation and fun time with them, then Jared and I head to LAS VEGAS to celebrate 5 years of marriage (hopefully winning Jared a new car, since it appears his has gone to the other side aka dead and gone).

I will be sure to post fun stories and pictures upon our return, and maybe if you're lucky, I might even post while away.

Here are a few recent pictures:

Pretty toes.

Last night...

me: Dakota, do you want pretty pink toes like mommy?

Dakota: YEAH!

me: can you sit still for me to paint them?

Dakota: yeah...

me: ok, come on.

(Dakota sits in my lap. I proceed to break out the polish thinking this is going to be a complete disaster and she reaches for the bottle. I have never seen the girl sit so still in her life...she kept trying to put her face closer to her toes to examine.)

me: All done!

Dakota (pointing to toes, trying to touch them): PRETTY!

me: Don't touch, they have to dry!

Dakota: dry

me: yeah, dry.

Dakota (points to my toes): pretty! (points to her toes) pretty!

This morning on changing table...(points to toes): pretty toes!

Success! :)
