Simplest things that bring joy...

into my life. We had a FANTASTIC weekend. We took a little drive up to Cloudcroft yesterday and parked at a cliff and just looked down and over at the gorgeous view of land and nature. It's a reminder once again of the simple things that make us happy. Lately I've been whining a lot of "I wish... I had a new lens... a new haircut... (LOL) ...new clothes... new makeup... new shoes... " It's always about I wish... I wish... I wish..! Yes, I wish I had new a new lens, but I have one that allows me to capture awesome images like the ones I've been taking. A new lens WILL come but in due time. A new haircut. That'll wait till I go to Los Angeles. I'll find a nice hairstylist there. New makeup? What for? I have LOTS of it! New shoes? I have shoes to wear. Some other people in this world don't have that luxury. You know??? Things like that. Admiring the beauty of nature is so relaxing and lets your mind and soul feel at peace. Inhaling the fresh air and just... ahhh! That awesome feeling you can't even put into words you know? I took my camera with me. Hubby laughs at me sometimes because I can't leave the house without my camera. EVER. And I'm so glad I did because as we were standing there, I had my camera on taking pictures of the mountains and stuff, Hubby is holding Sofia, they look at each other, she leans over and just gives him a kiss. I was quick because I pointed that thing and "snap!" LOL I got it. I'm so glad I did because this picture just fills me with PURE love and JOY. My two angels. My life is perfect.

On a little side note. Hubby and I are super serious about working out. I don't want to give out details yet but I will say that we are starting an intense workout regime today. We even did our grocery shopping today and just to give you an idea, our cart had things in it like fish, tofu, protein powder and protein bars... just to name a few! Things we NEVER bought before. We're serious about this! I hope that in a few months from now we are much more slim and toned! LOL I want my flat tummy back. I know I can get it back, I've done it plenty times before. It's just that I have to keep myself motivated and I am! Keep you posted! Promise.

Here's a little video I wanted to share with you. It's only for registered members to view. So log in to see!

This video was taken about 2 weeks ago. I've been meaning to post it but been lazy to download and upload to vimeo. You guys know it's a "process" to download and upload things on the internet. I was trying to put her to sleep in this video. It was her naptime but as usual, she fights it. She was tired, fussy and cranky but I managed to make her smile somehow. The "smell it... smell it... now TAKE IT!" trick always makes her laugh. I'm afraid in a few months her foot's going to be a little too big and too stinky to "take it"! LOL My favorite part of this video is when SHE babbles "smell it...smell it...now take it"! In her own little "sofia" language. I replay it over and over again! So cute! Enjoy!
