umm...I've fallen off the wagon!

It's been WAY too long since my last post! It was my new years resolution to get my blog going but a busy life got in the way. You think I spend so much time on the computer (one of my many hobbies) I would be a wiz at this. Ok, so here goes, another attempt at the bloggin world!

With Halloween coming up this weekend, we have so much planned. Friday I'm going to the girl's school for their costume parade & party. Saturday is Taylor's dance class observation, Sunday is Yo Gabba Gabba Live then trick or treating later that night. SOO much fun! I know it will fly right by but I'm excited!

We are getting this going well with the photography business too and that is very exciting. I am going to start learning more of the post production side so I can help out. Again, I love being on the computer and learning new things. It's amazing how you can change a good photo and make it amazing with a little editing! Keep your eye out for new things coming from Christopher Scott Photography!

Rain, Rain, go away!

Today is such a nasty day out, cold and rainy! I wish I could just curl up in bed and wacth reality tv all day!! Ahhh, I can dream can't I?! :)

Since I last my last post, Teagan had a double ear infection and Chris & I both with a cold! This is Teagan's 3rd double ear infection and hoping her last!


This past weekend Chris & I photographed a Bar Mitzah, well I was more like the "assistant" LOL. We had a great time and Chris did a wonderful job. Let me tell you, I have more resepect for event photogrpahers now. Boy, I back was killing me after standing on my feet for a couple hours. Plus, those 12 & 13 yrs olds were pretty wild & crazy! Overall, it was a success and another notch on our belt!

After the Bar Mitzvah, we headed to Too Jay's for some dinner and then to the Disney Store to get Taylor an Ariel dress. She has been asking forever for one, and it's actually her favorite princess so I decided to get her one. Luckily, they just re-designed the Ariel dress and the old one was on sale for only $20, that's $30 off the original price. woo hoo! Now i think we are only missing the Belle dress and we will have the whole Disney Princess collection! Teagan is getting into playing dress up too, she loves to put on the Cinderella slippers.


On Sunday, we planned a date with Christi & Caitlin for the zoo however we cancelled it because of the weather. Too wet & gloomy. Instead, we went to 5 Guys for lunch and then over to the Wellington Mall. I bought Taylor a outfit for her birthday photos in April. Both girls ended up falling alseep on the way home so I drove around so they could catch a short cat nap. Overall, another great weekend!

Food, football, & fun!

What a great weekend! On Friday, Chris and I went on a date to the Muvico in Boca, here they have nice leather love seats. We ended up seeing Leap Year, a love story about a girl who goes to Ireland to propose to her boyfriend. It was a cute movie, Chris was the one who actually picked it out!! Now I want to go to Ireland, maybe one day we can go. It looks so pretty there. After the movie, we tried to have dinner at PF Changs but there was a 45 minute wait even at 8:30pm! So, Chris suggested our old stand by, Chillis, for my favorite strawberry margaritas :) I wanted to go somewhere we wouldn't go with the girls so he suggested a hibachi place we've gone to before and I'm so glad we did! It was delish!! Usually dinnertime is so stressful and it's nice to enjoy a quiet meal once and a while. We came home and broke open the bottle of rose champagne I originally bought for New Years Eve. After drinking 2 glasses pretty fast, I suddenly felt the room spin and just passes out on the couch. I'm such a cheap date!! Well, I did have 2 glasses of wine at the restaurant ;)

The next morning we got out early and headed to the gym. Our first time bringing both girls to the gym, it was a free day and we didn't have to pay extra. They loved it!!! I was just worried about Teagan but she had a great time. Taylor asked if she could spend the whole day there. It was nice to work out with Chris again, he always pushes me hard. The only problem is he doesn't do any cardio so I skipped that part.

Next on the agenda was Taylor’s dance class. We found out that she is doing a tap routine for her recital and her costume is a sailor outfit. It’s really cute, I should have taken a picture of it but we will see it soon enough. I can not wait to see her up on stage! She is such a little ham and loves to sing and dance. Her teacher told me she is so good in the class which of course made me so proud.

After dance, everyone took naps! Teagan slept for a whole 3 hours! Chris had to wake her up at 3:30. She never does that, usually like an hour or so. She did that again on Sunday too.
Woo hoo :) Maybe this is a start of a trend!

To end the great day, we ordered some wings from Duffy’s and watched some football together! As an added bonus, we were given an extra order of wings by accident. Ooops! I felt bad because that meant someone else was missing those wings.

My first post!!!

So, here it is! My very first blog post! Are you excited?!? I am... here I plan to document what’s going on with me, Chris, Taylor and Teagan. I had been reading a few the past few weeks, some of which have been very sad actually, and just said to myself “I need to do that!” I used to have a baby website where I would post pictures and write down milestones with Taylor but that didn’t allow me to write just about ME! Please bear with me as I tweak the details and learn how to make it all fancy schmancy! LOL

The past few days have been pretty cold for Florida, although Chris thinks it’s totally fine for him to wear a short sleeve in 50-degree weather. New Yorkers!! Whatever! I tried to bundle the girls up as much as I can. Taylor doesn’t have many warm clothes but we did find some jeans at TCP for $4.99 this weekend, score! She loves the cold weather and can not wait to see snow! We go up to Maryland/DC to see my sister and her husband in about 5 weeks, so lets hope for some snow then :)

Teagan doesn’t like being all covered up though. In fact, this morning her teacher told me she kept trying to take off her fleece pullover and then lifting up her shirt, practically taking it off yesterday. Her poor little cheeks were all red yesterday too from the cold weather.

Ok, well that's all for now...stay tuned for the adventures of the Amrhein family :)
