Oh the blur of life....

The last 2 weeks have been a blur...We spent last week in lovely San Diego with Gloria while Brian enjoyed a week away in Mexico with his dad. We had a blast going to a new beach or park everyday. On Friday Glor treated me like a queen sending me off to get a massage for my birthday. That was AMAZING to say the least.
I am home for 5 days to plan and throw a baby shower for a friend, watch Sofia for a day, do a few loads of laundry, unpack and pack again, then leaving Friday night to drive 15 hours with KP back to Idaho to surprise my mom with a week long visit.

I'm not sure how much blogging I am going to be able to do while I am in Idaho but I will try to keep up a little. I know I haven't put any pics up but I will try and put a few of my favorite from our visit in San Diego soon.

This is a must watch...

You owe it to yourself to put your political affiliations aside and listen to this with an open mind.

Tag! 10 things people don't know about me...

My friend Clarissa tagged me...here we go!

1. I love when I don't wear makeup cause I can rub my eyes...

2. I fly all the time but I always get really sick and nervous before.

3. I am really really shy when I am around people I don't know.

4. I am a freak about deodorant, I put it on in the morning, sometimes once throughout the day, and before bed because my armpits feel sticky if I don't.

5. It takes me at least an hour if not more to fall asleep, I have problems to say the least.

6. I wish I could not care so much of what other people think and or say about me, I am getting better about it.

7. My "fang" teeth make me crazy one is longer and pointier her then the other one.

8. I should really be cleaning my house right now so it isn't a mess when we leave for San Diego.

9. I want to be done having children before I turn 30.

10. I have pretty much any color of flip flops you can think of.

I tag, Heather W., Kira, and KP.

Memories Tag...

I've been seeing this tag on some friends' blogs and someone finally tagged me so now I have a legitimate excuse to do it myself! :) Here are directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

3 years down!

Yesterday Brian and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary. I feel so lucky to have a wonderful husband that loves me no matter what. He is so understanding of my feelings and frustrations. He knows what I need and how to help me when I am ready to throw my arms up and day I give up. We have for sure had our share of ups and downs but we have made it through stronger then ever. Thank you Bri for sharing you life with me. I look forward to many more years. I love you!

update..

Life isn't so horrible after all. I only have 1 blanket left to make, and it doesn't need to be done till tomorrow evening. My dear sweet husband could tell I was about to lose my marbles so he offered to stay home with Addie so I could go run and get the gifts that I needed to and just be away for a bit. I am so thankful for him and the great husband and daddy he is. I may have added stress to myself but Brian had this Mario shirt that shrank a bunch in the wash so he gave it to Addie cause like her daddy she loves Mario. It is way to big for her to wear for a night shirt so I am going to make a blanket for her out of it..I think she'll love it. I don't have a day it has to be done so I can just take my time.

Oh one more thing..While I was walking into Walmart last night this lady walked up to me with her son and said would I want to buy a silk flower so she could go buy her kids some food. She was talking really fast and just being kinda weird, I told her I didn't have cash but I would buy her a loaf of bread while I was in the store. I go in get the stuff I need, get the lady a loaf of bread, peanut butter, and jelly. I took her the food she said thanks and I walked to my car. A thought crossed my mind, I should watch to see if she gets into a car or walks somewhere. As I sit in my car slowly driving up the parking lot I see her and her son get into a brand new Ford F-350 4 door truck (she was driving no one picked her up). Needless to say I felt abit angry. If she couldn't' afford to buy her kids food then why is she driving a huge gas hog truck?? I feel horrible because I'm sure I have passed up some people that really needed money or food, when now I really don't feel that lady did. I know my nastiness towards this lady and situation totally over shadows the good that I did...but I just wonder if there is anymore honest people in the world...

I'm spinning...

I feel like I am just spinning in circles...I am WAY behind in everything. We went to the river over the 4th weekend. I have 3 loads of wash to fold in a pile on our bedroom floor. I was supposed to have blankets made for my mom and 2 for my friend Aimee. They both have been very understanding of the delay. We had NO I mean NO food in the house, so I had to go food shopping and to the fabric store last night instead of making the 3 blankets that need to be made. I haven't been to the gym in 5 yes 5 days.  I won't be able to go tonight either cause we have this dinner thing to go to. I should be walking 6 days a week now and 5 miles two of the days and 6 one day...I have yet to walk over 4 miles and I have been averaging about 3-4 days a week. I just feel like life is flying by and I am just standing watching it all happen in slow motion. This is my plan....I have Sofia until about 3 today, so I am thinking after she heads home then I will sit down and cut out the fabric and get it pinned before Brian gets home and we need to get ready to go to dinner. When we get home I want to try and get at least 1 blanket made. I have to make to to the gym for the rest of the week and walk my butt off. I know that my problems are nothing compared to alot of other people but I am just feeling over whelmed, but there is always tomorrow and I will catch up sometime...

The Morning After...

I woke up at 7:30 a.m. to Addie standing next to the bed saying "me awake mommy"...I was slightly surprised that she slept through then night cause the last weekish she has been waking up for a drink or to go potty around 2 or 3. So, overall I think she did great with the bed rail. I thought it would be much more of a fight then it really was. I'm sure we will have our fair share of those nights though...

We are heading out to Yuma tomorrow night to spend the 4th of July weekend on the river and hangin out with Brian's dad Bruce, his GF Adell, and a few other people...It will be nice to get away and spend some time in the water...I am hoping to get my butt out of the water wakeboarding but it's been a while so who knows how that will go. Have a safe and happy 4th of July everyone!!

I made a choice!

I decided to take the leap and we bought a bed rail for Addie's crib. We had her all involved when we put it on and told her we are making her crib a big girl bed! Brian put her to bed (she always goes down great for him). He read her a few books and told her that she is a big girl now and needs to stay in bed and go to sleep. We watched her on the monitor and she never got out of bed until I went up there to turn on the white noise machine, and when I gave her a kiss and told her to go to sleep I went down stairs and she got out of bed. Me being the mean mom I am I told her if she doesn't get back in bed then I would turn the stair lights off. She pretty much ran back to bed and never got back out. Within 15 minutes she was asleep...I am super interested in how she will do tonight. If she will wake up and if she does will she come into our room or stay in bed and yell for us??? Who knows! Hopefully we will all sleep good!

You have got to be kidding me!!!

I am LOST at what to do. My child just climbed out of her crib for the first time. She was being super sassy and bugging Sofia, and very tired. I told her that she needed to be good or she would need to go up to her bed and take a nap...so guess what? she freaked out and started throwing a fit so I took her upstairs told her if she can not listen to me and be good then she needs to take a nap and chill out. I walked down stairs and looked at the video monitor and see one leg going over and then the other and then thump of her jumping down...Then I spent the next 20 minutes putting her back in bed time and time again. I am just clueless on what in the heck to do now??? Yes I know it's some what crazy that she is 2 1/2 and still in a crib but this child will not stay put for bed or nap time. I know if I put her in a "big girl" bed then I will have to be there every night till she falls asleep. Do I keep the crib and hope she doesn't keep climbing out? Go for the big girl bed and hope it's not horrible to get her to stay in bed??? GRRRR..... HELP!!! Ideas PLEASE!!!

Pedicure Time!!

I know it's kinda lame to do a post about a pedicure but I just couldn't help myself. KP, Myself, and another friend went and treated ourselves to a pedicure the other day. They turned out so stinkin cute I had to share...
