The Roo is One!

A very special Happy Birthday to our favorite nephew Riley who turned ONE yesterday! Here are a few pictures from his party. To read more about his special day, click HERE.



SUCH a cutie pie...


He loves his Uncle B


Maybe I'm NOT the 'baby whisperer' ...

OBSESSED

Obsessed is really the only word I can use to describe it... that is, my commitment to a series of books called 'The Twilight Saga'. They are about a normal, ordinary girl who falls in love with an impossibly beautiful boy... who also happens to be a vampire. Need I say more.

My friend Traci got me involved about a month ago and since, I've read the first three books (Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse), the first book AGAIN, and now I'm reading the 4th and final book (Breaking Dawn, which was released Friday). My friend Traci, AND my friend Angie, (who I'm responsible for getting hooked) had 'Breaking Dawn' dates this weekend... here are a few pictures from Traci and I's date:


Us after purchasing our books at Barnes and Noble... yes, I'd use the word 'glowing'


[insert the sound of angels singing]


Happily reading at Starbucks.

Are you there Blog? It's Me, Nicole.

I know... I know... it's been a while. a long while. a month!! Honestly, I didn't realize it had been THAT long since I last blogged until my friend reminded me. It's good to know people notice. I wish I could say it's because our new 'baby' has kept us up... but it's not. We have no excuse. I have no excuse :) Let's do a quick life update on the Robinsons:

Bruin- started a new position July 1st... a as Solutions Engineer for our Canadian Sales team. He is in charge of being the 'product expert' for the sales people, doing demos for prospective clients and answering questions they may have. He gets to travel some (to Canada) and has some pretty awesome perks, like commission and a Blackberry:) He really likes it so far. It's keeping him busy and he's MUCH happier.

Nicole- sadly, I have nothing 'new' to report. Still trying to lose some lbs. I've lost about 17 lbs so far but have 13 more to go to get to my goal. I'm hoping to get it off by cruise time (which is late October). The REAL reason I haven't been blogging is because I've been OBSESSED with some new books, thanks to my friend Traci. I'll post about that separately.

The Boys- are good but annoyed with me for taking so many pictures...

Which reminds me, WE GOT A NEW CAMERA! YAY!!
