Sweet Memory Sunday

I have been reminiscing some things of my past that I probably should publicize, but they are funny.  

I'm just going to rewind to almost 2 years.  It was New Year's Eve, and we were celebrating it up with our besties,.. Jimmy and Julie(of whom we miss TERRIBLY!) and I was 3 months preggers with the Chloe monster.  We went outside to bang some pots and pans,.... The cold air did a number on my stomach, so I RAN to the restroom to spew the delicious pizza,.. Little did I know my bladder needed to spew also.  So the choices were,.. sit and go to the bathroom, and puke all over the bathroom, or puke in the toilet and pee my pants,...................................................... 

I chose to pee my pants.

But it was the worst thing ever to have to come out of that bathroom and announce why we had to leave immediately.  Yeah,.... letting your husband's best friend see you post peeing your pants isn't like the funnest thing on the planet.  

Ahhhh,.. the sweet memories.  

(Jimmy and Julie,.. move your buns back to Utah PRONTO!  I promise I won't pee my pants at your house ever again!)

Who Wears the Pants?

That's right,... I DO.  

Peter lost his Navy Pants,.. so I had to take the reins and wear them. 

OKAY,.... just kidding.  

But really,.. Peter DID in fact lose 2 pairs of navy pants.  I didn't know where they were.  I looked and looked,.. I even totally finished the laundry looking for them,.. to no avail.  I just kept thinking Bailey stuffed them down the toilet,.. and that's the reason it keeps clogging.  But she said she didn't, and that I have bad breath(rude).  

Then I had a flash back.

A few weeks ago,.. Peter made me pretty freaky mad,.. and so in a moment of rage(kinda)  I took a bunch of laundry to the cleaners.  I was tired of looking at that stack of clothes anyway.  Well,.. then Peter made it up to me with an hour massage and extra money in my allowance,..... I forgot about the clothes at the cleaners.  

opps!

But we found Peter's pants!

:D  

Those Little Moments

I am human,.. I know,.. shocker!  I get caught up in the monaughtany(Spelling?) of life,.. and forget to stop and take a little mental picture sometimes.  But last night, the opportunity presented it's self, to stop and really think about how much I love my kids and my life right now.  

Chloe developed a stuffy nose as of 7:30 last night and for a self soother by way of finger sucking,.. a stuffy nose means misery.   So after a long time of fussing and crying, I went up and just picked her up and rocked her,.. which we haven't done very much since she quit nursing.  She didn't want to lay down with her head on my forearm,.. she wanted to be right there,.. snuggled on my chest.  The next thing I knew,.. her little hand was resting on my chest too,.. and then it started patting it's way up my chest,.. on my neck,.. and then all over my face, and then came to a resting place on my chest by her little nose.  She just wanted to make sure I was still there and still really snuggling her.  It was just so sweet and something I don't ever want to forget.

I gently put Chloe back in her crib and decided since I was close, to go in and check on Bailey,.. I quietly opened the door,.. and tip-toed in, by her bed,.. brushed her hair out of her face, and kissed her forehead.  She didn't open her eyes at all,.. but said,.."Hi Mommy" and I replied,.." HI Bailey,.. I love you" and Bailey said,.. " I love you too Mommy" "Go back to sleep"  "Okay Mommy" 

All while maintaining her same position with her eyes closed.  It was just so sweet.

I am just filled with gratitude.  I am one super lucky girl with an amazing little family(I have a pretty amazing BIG family too)  but I just love this point that I am in, in life,.. and trying to truly enjoy my kids, while they are little.  My house can be cleaned later.  (If you saw it right now,.. you would laugh)

{Note,.. the naked sister in the background}

I love you girls!

Self Incrimination

I probably shouldn't write this.  This is REALLY embarrassing,.. but,..alas,... How can I resist.  You can't truly LIVE life with out laughing at your self,.. and it's better when everyone else can laugh with me,..... but really I should be mortified mostly.

We have been having a few things done on the house as of late,.. ie,.. adding a "Somewhere" out the door to "nowhere"(our back door has lead to a 15 foot drop off since we moved in,.. and it was time for a deck.) 

So construction started on said deck like a week ago. So one day, in a hurry because of intestinal distress, I ran to this place, in a panic.  

Doors here are fairly un-nessassary these days with a nosy 3 year old, and a 1 year old following in her big sisters foot steps.  So,... maybe I never close doors anymore??? (if you are a mom you understand that nothing is private,.. even certain bathroom events. )

So,.. I sat.  And I looked at the view,.. which is this,.........

Which said deck was built under.  Which had a man standing in it,.. looking at me.  

Sometimes I hate myself.  

But then I just laugh,.. cause that's pretty dang funny.

Gateway

A few weekends ago, we went to the Gateway with Rachel and Dave, and their kids.  We had a lot of fun, and Chloe LOVED it!

What is in this hole mom!?

Yes,.. that jet is headed STRAIGHT for her face, and got her good!!!  And she LOVED it!

This pole is going to protect me, right!?

Ahh Nuts!

Poor little Chloe has been having quite the hard time adjusting to cow's milk,.. and then it dawned on me,.. it's cause her little body can't digest it.  :( Sad Face.  I am a milk LOVER and so this is quite depressing for me.   She has had this nasty rash all over her tummy around her belly button,.. and lotion wasn't helping AT ALL.  She has had that rash since I put her on cow's milk,.. and now,.... 5 days post quitting cow's milk,.. Voila,.. tis gone!  Really,.. I can't believe it.  So,.. now our fridge is stalked with this.

How they make milk out of it, is beyond me,.. but she LOVES it,.. and it actually tastes really good!  So we are all happy!  

Dance

Bailey started Dance this morning.  We have been waiting for "Wednesday Morning" for like 3 weeks.  Bailey could NOT WAIT to put on her "swim suit" and tights and dance shoes, and shake her booty.

A friend directed me to Ruby Shoes Dance Studio, which is this tiny studio that a mom has put together for just little girls.  They dance around to Nursery Rhymes and pretend to be the different princesses.  Today they were Ariel, and they transformed from Mermaid to human and back again.  Bailey was in HEAVEN. Even though her attention span last a whole 30 minutes,.. she had lots of fun looking in the mirror and dancing in front of it, the rest of the time.  Miss Amber is so fun, and her objective for these young little girls is to just teach them to move their bodies, love music, and use their imagination
