First things first, if you haven’t already, go enter my giveaway HERE!!  

I know you want to, it's a whole prize pack of Valentiney stuff...

Go ahead, I’ll wait.

Okay, your back now?  Awesome!

I'm linking up with Jeanette from Life Rearranged again to share my moments of the week via iPhone pics.  I'd love if you linked up too!  They can be from any kind of cell phone, just as long as they are cell phone pics.

And here's a look into my week!



Brandi girl can give the funniest looks.  I can't remember what kind of commotion was going on down the hall, but it sure surprised her.

This one of the tshirts I made to wear at Christen's soccer games this season.  I made one for me, Jon and my Mom.  I'm going to make one for my grandmother too, and my MIL, but I need more tshirts.  Of course, I used my silhouette cameo to make the heat transfer!  LOVE IT!!

We got the email Thursday that her official "signing" papers have been mailed out for her to sign for college.  Ugh.  I'm so happy for her, but I can't lie, I teared up and I'm tearing up now thinking of it.



My Beckham boy is SO proper!!  Crossing his paws while he drools on my shoes.  Classic.



They are NOT allowed in the kitchen...

when Jon is around.



On our way to church, my niece Jessica pointed out the sunset and stated: "Aunt Jodi, I know you want to take a picture! You take a picture of EVERYTHING!"

the kid has a great eye!  When we turned up the road, it looked as if we were headed straight into a fire.



"Hello, my name is Brandi and I'm very needy.  Put down your book and love me.  You can't resist the cuteness."

I'm ALMOST DONE with my 21lbs in 21 days book!!  I got my juicer the other day and my friend who introduced me to the detox is getting up a list of sources where I can purchase my supplements.  I'm excited and scare to do this, but I'm praying this will help me feel better! :)



The detox tells you to drink lots of green tea.  I.hate.tea.  (I know, I hate tea, seafood, and getting dirty.  my southern card will be revoked I'm afraid)

But I figured I better get started and try some different flavors.

I was hoping putting my tea in a Christmasy mug would help me.  I can't believe it, but I actually liked the tea.  As in, when I was done, I wanted more.  SCORE!  I like green tea.  Yay me!

This one really doesn't need much comment other than: mmmmmm....baaaconnnn

Jon got his day blades for his light saber.  The doggies approve.  Do you see the blur that is Beckham??

Brandi is the queen of sneaking onto your lap and then using your lap as her pillow.

How cute are these two!?!?  I'm gonna miss that face there on the right this coming up fall.

Alrighty!  I really hope you go and enter my giveaway if you haven't already.

And check out the linky parties too!  Have a great weekend!!

I'm also linking up with these awesome linky parties!

My Boxer Babies

I do believe I forgot to mention my other two babies. Shame on me. Let me start by saying, I have never been an "animal"person. I've always loved admiring animals, from afar. And I've always loved baby animals such as puppies, kittens, ducklings, etc. But once they reached a certain stage, I just really could have cared less for them. All of that changed when I met my Brandi girl. I was dead set against having a dog live in the house with us. And that changed too when I met Brandi.



My brother's boxer had puppies and Brandi was the runt. She was less than half the size of all the other puppies. My brother and his (now ex) wife bottle fed her until she could drink milk from a saucer and eat puppy food. We got her when she was 5wks old and only 2lbs. Her largest brother/sister was 5lbs at that time! She could literally fit in the palm of my hand. There was no way I was going to let this baby sleep outside. I do believe she officially became a part of our family when on the way home from my brother's house, she pooped in my lap. It was actually kind of sweet. Thankfully I used protection in the form of a puppy pad.









Now she is five years old, she's had puppies of her own. We kept one and we call him Beckham. He is probably the smartest yet most idiotic dog I've ever known. He's surely a clown and will keep you entertained for hours on end. He actually was the entertainment of my niece's 9th birthday party this year.









If you read my first post, you know I got a Nikon Coolpix L100 for Mother's day. Only because my boxer babies can't put their paws over their face EVERYtime I try to take their picture, they will be my main subjects. I would love for Christen to be my main subject, but since she's a teenager, she's all cranky and stuff whenever I try to take her picture. So below are the first couple of picture I've taken w/ the Nikon. Hope you enjoy!
