project 365: sneaky, sneaky.

i shot this picture through the mirror over our kitchen sink because i didn't want conor to catch me spying on him. i fixed breakfast this morning, and when travis and i got up to put away our plates, conor couldn't jump on my chair fast enough. he didn't know i was watching him through the mirror. of course i wanted to tell him to get down, but he just looked so cute, i decided to watch him instead. he never got on the table any further, but he wanted that stack of fluffy pancakes so badly!

project 365: little cowboy.

i love getting mail. love, love, love it. this month hudson turned 2 years old! {i can hardly believe it}! i remember when jen first told me she was pregnant, receiving the texts that he had been born and suddenly he was turning one. now another year has already passed. very hard to believe. i attended his party the saturday before his birthday {travis was sick and didn't want to infect all the babies so he stayed home}. jen had a fun cowboy party for hudson {i plan to feature it on notably noted's blog}, and keeping in jen-style, it was perfectly designed and so much fun for grown-ups and kids alike.

today i received this precious thank you card from hudson.

melted. my. heart.

i did it!

well, i did it! i got all caught up for the project 365. i had to cheat a little bit on a few of the days because as i've mentioned a couple of times, i didn't decide to do project 365 until january 20th {yesterday}, so i didn't really have a picture for every single day of the year so far. i still like the things i added and i think i'll enjoy looking back on them in a year. if you want to see all of the pictures, just scroll back through the blog or click on "project 365" in the topic cloud to the right.

project 365: snow day!

Project 365.

i've never done project 365 {and i don't think i had ever even heard of it before last year}. i wasn't planning to do it, but just realized that i am almost positive that i have a picture for every day of this year, so i might as well give it a shot. if i don't complete it, well, then i don't complete it. but i'm always super impressed with those who do it, and i think it will be fun to look back on so, i'll give it a shot. {you'll have to look back in the blog to find posts leading up today. -- as i post the picture, i'll give it the appropriate date for the day it was taken}. wish me luck! and let me know if you've done/are doing Project 365 and what you think about it.

Project 365: because it makes me laugh so much.

i know i already posted this, but it's the only picture i took that day ... and it really makes me laugh.

Project 365: girls' dinner

a few weeks ago jen and i got together for a fun evening of sushi and catching up. we so rarely see each other and she's one of my absolute favorite people and a very dear friend. we both decided to do a better job about seeing one other and thought we should initiate a "girls' dinner." every third thursday of the month, jen, teah, kate, and i are going to try to meet for dinner and drinks. we thought it would be fun to try new restaurants each time we go. this week we're going to do wolfgang puck's on brookside. none of us have been there and it should be a fabulous new place! i love my friends.

Project 365: a stay at the omni.

it cracks me up that i even have this picture! hahahahaha. i took it because i was staying at the omni hotel in houston, while working out of the conocophillips offices there. i was so exhausted and was really disappointed to find my toilet looking like this. i took the picture when i was trying to decide if i was going to complain to anyone or not. hahaha. i'm so odd.

Project 365: an edmond visit

i so wish my iPhone camera had a zoom ... or that i would just get back in the habit of carrying my actual camera around again. this weekend we paid a visit to edmond for tabitha's birthday. conor was so excited to run and play outside with all the boys as soon as we got there. there were so many endearing shots i wish i could have captured.

Project 365: travis and zoey.

travis stayed the night with amanda and zach last night so he could wake up this morning and play in a pool tournament. he said as soon as amanda came in the guest room where he was sleeping, zoey jumped on the bed and laid right on top of his head, like a hen sitting on an egg. he got her to move down and she stayed right beside him all morning. such sweetie pies.

Project 365: oh, how he makes me laugh.

the silly things we say and do.

Project 365: nighty night.

we are beginning to realize that we just might be getting old ...

Project 365: puppy cut.

travis dropped conor at the groomer on his way to work today. i was working from home because i was attending a typros event at lunch time. when it was over, travis asked me to swing by and pick conor up because the groomer had finished with him early.

he really was not happy about having to get a hair cut and wouldn't even look at me at first.
i did finally get him to look in my general direction, but he was definitely pouting.

Project 365: chant de bois.

i've found a new perfume i like: chant de bois by anthropologie.

Project 365: homemade mac & cheese soup

i know i already posted about this soup, but it's the only picture i have from the day. and it was oh, so delicious, it deserves an extra posting.

Project 365: lazy weekend.

Project 365: a night in with snack trays.

{the date on this first picture is wrong, but i'm too tired to change it and want to get caught up on this project}.

today the weather turned kind of icky. travis and i had planned to cook one of our planned meals, but felt a little drained. the mood was definitely a snuggle at home, watch movies, and be cozy kind of evening. i asked him if he would like to stop and get summer sausage, several cheeses and just make snack trays.

at christmas and new year's eve, his mom usually makes several "snack trays" and travis loves them. she didn't make them for christmas this year since zach and amanda were out of town until christmas evening and she didn't make them at new years since we were all celebrating separately.

even though it was just us, i still wanted everything to look nice. we had several different kinds of cheeses, crackers, apples, summer sausage, li'l smokies in rib crib bar-b-que sauce, and two kinds of dips.

nothing gourmet by any means, but a nice relaxing evening in. one of those perfect-kind-of-evenings.

Project 365: i love you.

Project 365: office move.

today our offices moved to a more updated building. before we were sitting in the phillips building; now we sit in the adams building. here's a quick glimpse {not a great view of the space, by any means}.

before, all our furniture was cold gray, and bulky metal pieces. now we have the warm wood tones. it sounds silly but everything really is much nicer with the woods.

Project 365: a couple of things on my wish list.

we were so blessed at christmas this year and loved all of the presents we received, so i feel a little silly starting a wish list so soon, but travis and i have decided that we would like to be better this year about shopping early for events we know are approaching. we would even like to purchase everyone's christmas presents over a matter of months instead of the last couple of weeks leading up to christmas. our moms are slowly starting to buy us more and more things for "around the house" and while i hope i don't start receiving crock pots and ironing boards for my birthday {how boring, right?} i do have some things i just love and have been eye-ing for the past year or two.

this is a set of dishes/accessories at dillards that i have been in love with for two years or so. i love this cake platter in particular! i like the large dome and the iron scrolling. i don't particularly care for the oranges and greens {though a couple of serving dishes in those colors could be festive for thanksgiving}, i adore the cream with hints of brown. adore. the canisters and the pitcher are pretty divine, too.

we took these pictures while walking around the mall returning a few christmas presents that weren't our size and looking for amanda's birthday present.
