Busy Busy Busy

Busy seems to be my life now a days. I really need to start making time to blog every day that away I dont miss anything improtant that has happened. Nov brought alot of fun! We took our first family trip to see my dad. Whitnee flew on a plan for the first time and did amazing! We had a blast! I miss my Daddy o so much! It so nice to see him with an amazing woman and to see him so happy!

We were able to go with my brother and his wife. I love them so much! It amazes me every day that him and I would fight like cat and dogs when we were younger, but now we are like best friends. He is such an amazing man! And Chas well she's pretty amzaing, she has to be to put up with Stephen. :D


While in Vegas Tiffany's (Dad's wife) best friend did Chas and my hair. I absolutly love it and am so blessed that she did it. Well she was also amazing by making us a Thanksgiving dinner. It was the sweetest thing ever! She even pulled out the fine China for us, and made Whitnee her very own Princess spot. Such a sweet family!

When we got back home is was Thanksgiving time. We spent this year with Michaels family. It was a blast and of course there was way to much food eaten. :D

Then on came December. In one of the towns around here they decorate the square with pretty lights. I so love this time of year due to all the pretty lights! We actually put lights on our house this year. I LOVE them! We didn't have lights on our house growing up so that's one thing I want to do for our kids as they get older, It's as much for our kids as it is for me. :D Well we went down to the square with Hannah to look at the pretty lights. We had a blast!

We also went to Branson, and went to Silver Dollar City. Michael and I went last year but didn't take Whitnee 'cause I didn't want her to get sick since she was only 6 months then. Well I HAD to take her this year! She got to see Santa!! We all had a blast, and she did so good! It was FREEZING by the way. :D We went with some great friends of ours. Stevie and Brian. I absolutly love hanging with them! We just seem to be on the same level of life I guess you can say. They are just great people!
Christmas this year was AMAZING! Whitnee was so into opening her presents it was so much fun! She would first pull of the bow and then open the present. She then had to help everyone else open there's. It was great! I look forward to the years to come of not only seeing her excitment when she sees what Santa brings her but also teaching her the real reason for Christmas! She is such an amazing girl already. We have so much fun!!
Well I guess it's off to finish up the house cleaning and fixing my hair. We have another busy weekend. Tomorrow is New Years Eve and we have friends comeing over and then Sat we get to go to Mnt Vernon to have Christmas with more of Michaels family. Should be fun!! Be safe everyone!

Slacking?

Wow, I havn't blogged in such a long time!! We have been super busy, and I guess I've been kina lazy with my blog. October was a great month. We took Whitnee to the zoo for the first time. We had my birthday, and many other activities that I can't even remember off of the top of my head. So I guess I'll do this blog with just pics :D So here goes..



Oh how I love my mother :D I was teaching her how to look skinny in a pic, you suck everything in and stick out what God gave you... not really sure if it really works for me but hey it was fun :D

My sister turned 21 on the 21st and we went out to celebrate! It was a very fun night!

This is a friend of mine that i've known since 4th grade. Stevie and I grew up togeather as friends and then like all friends graduated and went on with our own lives.. well... we have now started hanging out agian and always have soo much fun when we hang out! Her fiance Brian and Michael get along well so it makes it easy to just hang out. After we hang with them, I always feel so plesent LOL Just a great couple and I'm so happy we are hanging out agian! This was us at the corn maze, much fun!

I was able to go get my hair colored, I've been wanting to do something new for myself for a while since I'm a stay at home mommy and wife, I usually end up being the last on the line when I'm doing stuff, so I took a day and got my hair colored soo excited to be red agian! Will take time out ever 6 weeks for me, kinda gotta get it re-done that often. :D But hey it works and it's me time.

Whitnee, and her cousin Hannah. Hannah goes to church with us every Wednesday, and so we take some time to just hang. This time we were at the park. They love each other so so much! I really look foward to seeing there relationship grow as they get older. Hannah is 9 and I have a feeling Whitnee will be looking up to her as they get older.

Enjoying some great weather, October did have some nice weather so Whitnee and I got out as much as we could to enjoy it.

This was on our way to the Tulsa Zoo, she LOVES to read books!!

Wow What a week!

We have had a busy week filled with runny noses, head colds, and ear infections! Monday came and there wasn't much going on. Mondays are usually low key for us. Whitnee and I stayed home all day she has been battling a head cold. I chalked it up to allergies.. well she had more then just that.. we will get to that when I talk about Thursday. :D

Tuesday Michaels mom came and got Whtinee so we hung out at home till then. When she left I ran around the house getting all of her "baby" toys and then disinfecting everything. At this point Whitnee was starting to get better. She wasn't coughing as much and her nose didn't seem to be running as much. So I was thinking we were on the upside of being sick :( wellll.. I was wrong 'cause of course Daddy came down with it. Michael's brother has been coming over on Tuesdays nights so Michael can have guy time. That and he really loves his bros, and since he got married he doesn't spend nearly as much time with them.

Wednesday I also spent doing house work. I ended up going into town and trying to find a dress for Whitnee. Why am I looking for a dress you might ask? Well she has been asked to be in a wedding next May. I'm sooo excited! She's going to be so so cute!! I was going to see if I could find a dress that was maybe cheaper then at the bridal store. Then after I went and did that it was time to get Hannah (my niece) she goes to AWANA with us. Well I had talked to Michaels mom during the day and she told me that Whitnee's nose had been running all day agian and it was green, soo I decided to get make her a doc appointment for Thursday. That night she went ot my moms house while we were at church. She so so so loves her MeMe and LaLa.. it's so sweet. It's the same way with her Grandma and Grandpa.

Now to Thursday. She woke up that morning and wasn't to bad but I figured I made the appoinment better go ahead and take her. Well thankfully I did 'cause she ended up having a double ear infection. :( Poor thing! Felt like a bad mommy! They doc said on a scale from 1-10 he rated them at a 5 so they weren't REALLY bad so that was good. I also asked him when they started having allergy problems and he said there 2nd year of being in the season.. so this would be perfect for Whitnee. I found that very interesting! So this spring could be horrable for her! Her daddy and I both have problems with allergies.

Friday was uneventfull as well, we went to dinner and then did some shopping for our youth night Sat night with the youth.

Sat we watched the HOG game.. they lost BUT it was such a good game considering we led the number 1 team in the nation the whole game until the end. I was sooo proud to be a razorback fan that day! Then that night we had Min to Win it game night with the youth grilled burgers and just had a great night! It was a blast!

That leaves us with today! :D We had church, then Whitnee and I came home took a nap then went to night church. That was all :D

All in all it was a GREAT week! If the hubby isn't better by thursday weather he likes it or not he is going to the doctors :D

Hope this week is another good one!

Day One

Well it is day one of it being just Whitnee and I agian. It's been a pretty good day! I didn't get to bed at a decent time last night, my hubby was snoring like crazy last night! :D Sooo I was up till around 3. Then Whitnee got up at 7. Why I have no clue.. buuutt we did get a good 2 hour nap in this morning! It was really nice it had started raining so it made sleeping even better! It's been a kinda muggy day out as well.. I was thinking about us going to Hobby Lobby, to look at there Christmas stuff, they always have the best stuff! Then to look at how much a little wooden stool is. We went to a birthday party a couple of weekends ago and someone had made the little boy one and so I think I'm gonna make Whitnee one as well.

I've also made the decision to start doing Curves agian. I did it before Michael and I got married and LOVE LOVE LOVED it! It was such a nice thing to do and it be just me with a great group of women. Now we just have to wait for our money to come in so we can pay off some bills. Then we will be able to afford it a little easier. So on top of that I'm wanting to start eating better. I've got to really start eating breakfest.. it just doesn't happen around here. I'm going to start working on Whitnee and I eating better during the day and then the family eating better at night. I also want to stop eating after 8. My first goal is just 10 lbs! We will see..

Well I think I hear my princess.. till next time

One of Those Days

It's been a day where I feel defeated. The yucky weather is making the girls very cranky. To add to that Ellie isn't sleeping well. She is rolling her self over and freaking out while she is sleeping. So I go in there to get her and she just wants me to hold her. Well my princess wants me to hold her too. I just feel as if I'm not good enough. I clearly know that I'm doing my best but I still feel as if it's not good enough.

After today I only have tomorrow left with Ellie. I'm gonna miss her, but as I've said before I'm going to enjoy it being Whitnee and I agian. Whitnee and I are gonna go on an adventure to find a cheap umbrella stroller. We are taking a trip in Nov to see my dad and dont want to take the bit stroller with us. Something light weight and little will be great! I've found some on the enternet but they are still like $30 for one that I'm looking for. I'm sure we can find one cheaper.

God is also working on my hubby right now. We really aren't sure how or what but something is going on in that that great big wonderful heart of his! I think I've finnaly convenced him to go back to school! YAY! Go me! He's been wanting me to go but I've been trying to tell him his degree is soo more important then mine 'cause if God moves us to another church they will be looking for that piece of paper. He will be more likely to get into full time ministry if he does have that paper.

Well I think that's all the random thoughts I have for now.. until next time..

Labor Day Weekend 2010

Was a busy one! None the less a great one! Friday night we went out to Michaels parents house for dinner. Becca was here for the weekend so we call met up for supper. Then Sat brought shopping food and woo pig sooie! Becca, Whitnee and I went shopping for a birthday party Becca had to go to that afternoon. While Becca was at the party my family came over for a cook out. We had a great time! My brother who lives in Tulsa his wife Hannah were even able to come over. After they all left Whitnee went down for a nap and I was actually able to lay on the couch and take a little cat nap as well in preperation for soo hawg callen! Becca and I headed to the game around 3. The weather was AMAZING our woo pig soies were tuned up. I had such a great time at the game! I LOVE LOVE LOVE football! I think I love it more the most men do at times! We won the game 44-3. It was such a great first game. So the countdown to Sat begins. Sunday brought church and preperation for AWANA. I cleaned out the AWANA room and got it ready for the first club night. I'm excited about it. My goal is to be more active in keeping the room themed I guess would be the correct way to put it.. I want to celebrate birthdays this year and also any holidays that come our way. Kinda like what I would do if I was a teacher. Today (Monday) was the sad day! Becca went home! Michaels parents and brother ended up coming over and having lunch with us before Becca left. Yet agian a great time! I was how ever very proud of myself for not crying like a baby when she left. I really do miss her and didn't realize how much I did till she was here and left agian. I have to remind myself that it's a good thing! She is getting away from so many I guess "bad habits" that are here and starting a new life out there! Well that was our weekend in a nut shell. I'm soo not looking forward to Michael going back to work! I do only have 4 more days of watching Ellie. I will miss her when she is gone but I'm still 100% sure of my decision to just have it be me and Whitnee agian. I wont even have her all day on Friday 'cause she has a doctors appointment. Well it's night night time for me.. until next time..

Great day!

As I type this post I'm sitting outside enjoying the wonderful nature around me that God has provided! The wather today is soo amazing! It stormed last night and made the weather today int he 70's. I really dont think it could be any more prettier out today! I am also curretly childless. Whitnee is with Michaels parents her Grandma and Grandpa. When we decided that I would be able to stay home with Whitnee we they wanted to kepe her once a week, over night. At first Michael and I thought it was to much, but we actually REALLY enjoy it! It makes it so much easier on the days that I have Ellie and can devote all my attention to her! That and then at night Michael and I can try and go on a date.. as they don't come very often any more. :D Well today I dont even have Ellie. I feel out of place like I dont have anything to do. The house is actually clean.. I mean there are a couple of things that need to be picked up but nothing that'll take all day. So I thought I would blog... what I'm gonna blog about I dunno.. guess like every other blog I'll just type what's in my head :D LOL

So I'm stuck at home with no kids. Michaels sister Rebecca is in town and we thought we would ldet her use my car since I never go any where during the day with both girls. Well of all the times I dont have a car I can actually go do something. What I would do I dont know. LOL I think it would just be nice to get out of the house to even just walk around the mall. I'm so excited that Becca is here! I didn't realize how much I missed her till she got back. I missed our talks.. our random drives around.. and just knowing that she was here if I needed her.. or if she needed me.

Well tomorrow kicks off Razorback football. I'm soooo beyond ready for it! I live for this time of year :D LOL The weather, the game, the family get togeathers. It's really the best part of the year!

Well I think it's time to get off here and read a book! Till next time!

The Ups and Downs of Life

Up:
We took with to her first Naturals baseball game! It was such a blast! My brother hollered at me saying he had free tickets if we wanted to go with him. I wasn't sure at first how Whitnee was going to do 'cause it was a busy Saturday. But Whitnee was able to take a really good nap so we packed up and went. Whitnee was soooo good! It also helped that we had help, my sister, brother and his wife were all there. Brittany (my sis) LOVES to take care of Whitnee so she ended up taking her over to the play area when Whitnee got restless other then that she was perfect! Here are some pics of our fun adventure!

Me and my Princess never knew I could love some one soo much!!

Whitnee and her Uncle Steve
Down:

A sweet baby passed away this past weekend. It was my brothers niece sooo family none the less. She had T18/Edward Syndrome. It such a bitter sweet thing! She is soo much better off now, but she had so much ahead of her sweet Addy was only 6 months. She lived 210 days. It was a beautiful funeral. She looked like a little baby doll. I ask that you keep her mommy and daddy in your prayers. As they are going through a rough time. I couldn't imagine loosing Whitnee!

Sweet Addy we love and miss you! We will see you soon!

Up:

My dad is getting married tonight. Since we aren't all able to be there my dad and his friends have found away for us to watch the wedding live. I'm so excited! I can't wait! I was part of the rehursal last night it was very interesting! My dad has found a great woman and I'm so happy for him! I'm know going to have 2 step sisters.. that seems kinda wierd and a step mom. LOL Should be fun!

Up:

My sister in law Becca (Michaels sister) moved to San Fransico a couple of months ago, well she will be back to visit next Wednesday and I'm so excited! We are also going a Razorback game while she is here. I can't wait! Nothing better then my sister in law and some good ol' Razorback football!

All in all life is pretty up right now. I'm so thankfull for a healthy baby girl, and all the other great things God has blessed my family with!

Thoughts

I really don't know where to start this blog but I know I need to start it. I know I need to let all the thoughts in my head out. So I guess I'll start from the begining. In June I started watching Ellie, my best friends little girl. Things have been going pretty well. She's soo sweet! Well the last couple of weeks i've been fighting with the emotion of missing my one on one time with Whitnee. We do get some one on one time druing the day while Ellie is napping but not nearly as much as we use to get. I missed being able to go outside with her when ever, I missed going to the park ith her, i've missed going to Walmart with her just because we can and have some time to kill. Whitnee doesn't like being home or well inside. She LOVES to be out and about. Sure we could get out with Ellie but it's so much harder with her still being so little. We didn't even really get out with Whitnee by ourselves when Whitnee was that little it was just to hard.

Next thing I have felt bad about is giving both Whitnee and Ellie they attention they want and need. Both girls need so much attention they are very girly and both need to be center of attention. There is only so much of me to go around and I feel bad for both of them.

I told Ami all of this yesterday and felt soo bad about it! It has nothing to do with them it's all me. I feel as if I need to put me and Whitnee first and I'm not sure how to make someone understand that with out them feeling like it's them or even there child. I also want to be able to enjoy Ellie as she get's older and I want to be someone they can count on to babysit when they need a babysitter. I also don't want Ellie to think of my as the babysitter I want her to think of me as the cool Aunt D.

Mine and Michaels intial thought was to stop watching Ellie in November 'cause the tribute would be paid off so money wouldn't be so tight and that would also give Ami and Guy some time to think about what they are going to do. Today Ami told me that Sept 10th will be the last day I watch her 'cause there is no point in dragging it out. So know I really have to trust that God will provide till Nov since we wont have that extra income. We have done it before so we can do it again as long as we trust in God.

I know what I'm doing is better in the long run. I know that life around the Sherry house will be better 'cause I can spend good time with Whitnee. She is only this little once and I'm only a 1 child mom once and I want to be able to enjoy it and enjoy her. She is at such a fun stage right now! I just love it! I couldn't ask for a better sweet little princess!!

Enough of that.. I feel a little better now getting all that out of my head.

Old Friends

Soo tonight Michael and I had some friends over. I've known Stevie since 4th grade. We were really good friends until after high school. We just both kinda went our seperate ways. Stevie is very much a home body type of person and I was working full time she was going to school and we just lost touch. Well at the first of this year we started hanging out with her and her fiance Brian. Michael and I really enjoyed haning out with them they are VERY low key and are ok with just hanging out at the house and that works out really well for us since we have Whitnee. Well the last time we hung out was in March for Stevie's birthday we took them out to dinner came home put Whitnee to bed and then just sat around and talked. That's one thing I really enjoy about them is we have really good conversations! That and they are soo ok with just hanging around and doing that. Well after her birthday I guess we all just got kinda busy with the activities of summer and didn't hang out much we talked via facebook but nothing ever major. Well I decided last night that I missed them and decided they needed to come over. Well they came over tonight and I was reminded as to how good of a friend she was and is becoming agian. Brian and Michael get a long well too so that helps. I'm just thankful that I've gotten the chance to hang out with them agian. We have even planned on going to the craft fair in Oct and the boys plus Whitnee will hang out. I would take Whitnee but it's always soo crowded and it would just be more of a hassel. We have also decided that we are going to go to the Zoo in Sept. H

Hmm so know i'm sitting her thinking what's the purpose of me writting this blog LOL I just got the feeling that I needed to blog about tonight. :D I guess I"m doing this just to say thank you to God for allowing such great people in my life, even when I wasn't sure if we would be friends after high school. Her and I have had sooo many good times togeather and I'm glad that we can still get togeather and it's like old times again. Here's to many more get togeathers with them and many more random blogs to come. :D

Still not sure why I'm blogging.. guess I'll go to bed now. :D

First Family Vacation

Was so much fun! We went to Branson, Mo. We went shopping and then spent the afternoon and evening in Silver Dollar City. We drove up there Friday evening and met up with some friends of ours, the Browns. We stayed the night with them, then on to our shopping adventure. Whitnee got soo many things! We ended up getting pretty much her whole fall wardrobe!! YAY! Branson has AMAZING outlet malls, and then they were also having there no sales taxs weekend to! Here is some of the outfits she got.She is going to be one hip little girl! YAY! I'm so thankful that God blesses Michael and I to be able to spoil her like we get to do!

Then it was off to Silver Dollar City. Whitnee was such a good girl! She LOVED her pup pup aka her leash. :D I've always said I would never put my kid on one but it was soo nice to have it this weekend 'cause she didn't want to be in her stroller the whole time but with the leash she could walk around and still be right there with out us having to chase her down. She had so much fun, and a lot of people actually commented on it and how nice it was. Here is a pic her her in her pup pup.

Here are a couple of my favorite pics that we got this weekend while we were there.

Where To Start?

We have been soo busy that last month! I guess I start like I start when I think back in my head.. just random. :D So here goes

Well we are taking Whitnee to Branson for the first time this weekend! YAY! Missouri is having there tax fee weekend so Michael and I have set aside some money to try and get Whitnee her fall wordrobe. I'm excited! Then we are going to Silver Dollar City. There are actually a couple of rides that she will be able to ride! Woo Hoo I soo hope she is like her dad and loves to ride rides, and not a chicken like her mommy. I'm so excited! We are going with a family from our church so it should be a ton of fun!

Michael has been on vaca this weekend and it's been soo nice to have him home all day! Come Monday it'll be back to reality and I'm gonna miss him so much. It'll be weird to not have him here. While he was off we had planned a trip to the zoo... well that didn't get to happen. :( I some how messed my foot up agian. GRRR but it is feeling soo much better!

Well last weekend we had our youth trip. It was soo much fun! We have such a great group of young adults. I always look forward to haning out with them.

We also had our VBS a couple of weeks back. It was sooo much fun! This was the first year that I did music by myself and I will say I think I did really good! I was very proud of myself! I really enjoyed teaching the kids!

Whitnee has been so silly that last couple of weeks! OOO and she has a TON of teeth that have come in! One of her new things is drinking her bath water LOL why? I dunno but she really doesn't drink it she will lean over and take a "drink" and then say "aaahh" oh I love that child! Oh she will also say no no when I ask her for kisses.. :( so sad! She has also been doing really good with going to bed with out being rocked! She still has her bottle but we are working on breaking one habit at a time. She such a big girl, I'm so proud of her! She is also not really wanting a bottle during the day. Michael and I have starting making a big deal out of having a big girl Whitnee cup! I love being her mommy!

Well I think that's all of the info I have for now.. here are some good pics of Whitnee for your entertainment

The hubby and I on the youth trip

Whitnee enjoying some YUMMY sour cream!!

First time brushing Whitnee's teeth

Day Book 0710

Outside my window.... The sun is shinning so bright!

I am thinking....that I'm super excited about my date night with my BFF :D We have gone out in such a long time!

I am thankful for...having a BFF for what 13 years? It may even be longer. I'm so glad that we have stuck togeather through so many things!

From the kitchen....there are dirty dishes calling my name


I am wearing... my night gown..

I am creating....a master piece.. getting myself ready for tonight :D

I am going....To dinner and a movie tonight yay!!

I am reading...Cracking the Communication code

I am hoping...hmm not much at the moment :D


I am hearing...sweet giggles from my little girl as she plays with daddy. Best sound in the world!

Around the house....is stuff :D

One of my favorite things...getting to do things with my BFF, ooo and our little talks when she comes over for lunch!

A few plans for the rest of the week...hmm not really sure.. I dont think I really have any. YAY!

Been Awhile

Wow I feel like I havn't blogged in forever! I dont even know where to start. The past couple weeks have seem to be very very busy. Watching Ellie has been going pretty well. She like any newborn is very spoiled to being held. :D So she is still adjusting to not being held all the time. If it was just her and I I'm sure I would hold her not stop but with Whitnee running around I have to chase after her. Speaking of Whitnee, she can no make herself throw up and she thinks it's the funniest thing in the world, where as I think it's horrable! When she does do it it smells like spoiled milk. So we are working on getting her to stop that. She also if half dog, she LOVES to chew on anything included her flip flops, she has taken pieces out of her shoes. She has also started to get more of the toddler face and not the baby face any more. Makes me sad but happy all at the same time that she is growing and getting more and more of a personality. We had a great fourth of July. She didn't really care for the fireworks, she just played around. Since the fourth was on a Sunday she had the cutest dress!

That is Whitnee and Hailey a girl from out church. Her parents help us out with the youth. She has been spending the last week with me 'cause her brother has been at camp and her parents were gonna be gone for the weekend so she came to camp Destinee. :D

Hmm what else is going on? We are getting ready for VBS this will be the first year that I teach the music by myself. I'm kinda scared 'cause I'm not good with the motions :D But hey what will the kids care. That and I dont like to sing in front of people but yet again hey what will the kids care. I absolutly love VBS week. I love seeing the kids learn and grow. It's one of my fav parts of summer!

We are also planning our Youth Summer Trip. I'm actually kinda down about that as well. We dont have many youth any more for one reason or another and I can't help but think did Micahel and I do something wrong? Are we boring? I know that we can't offer the things that I know Michael and I both want to offer due to him having a full time job other then being a pastor. We are also trying to figure out what God is doing with us. Michael's calling is to be a full time Sr. Pastor but I dont think either of us are ready to be Sr. Pastors. I think when it's time God will give us at least a little bif of comfort in our heart that we are doing the right thing.

Well I guess that's enough blabbing for now.. I will leave you with some pics of the family.

Me and my Princess

Sweet Ellie! 4th of July

Me and my Bestie Ami and the 4th of July

One week

In now a little less then a week I will be watching my best friends baby. I've been hanging out with a friend of mine who has a little boy who is now almost 6 months old and Whitnee has started getting much better about shairing her mommy. So that's nice! So now my main fear is taking care of two babies. LOL I'm praying that Ellie enjoys swinging 'cause that'll make life easy on both Whitnee and I. I'm actually getting what I like to call a test run tomorrow night. Ellie's mommy and daddy are going on a date night to a concert so Michael and I are going to watch Ellie for them. Should be fun. We are watching on of the girls from church to. She is 5 we will have her all weekend. She is my little buddy! So I'm really looking forward to watching her. HAHA not htat i'm loking forward to watching Ellie 'cause I am.

Sooo after watching Ellie for a little bit I'm sure I'll start adding her milestones to my blog as well.

I've also started getting this feeling that no one reads my blog.. is that bad? LOL I just feel as if I'm boring. LOL Maybe that's why I havn't blogged in awhile. I dunno.. maybe that'll go away..

Soo I'll leave you with a picture of Whitnee swimming for the first time. She really loved it! I'm soo glad we have a water baby on our hands she LOVES being in the water and she loves watching people jump in and making a big splash. I'm really looking forward to taking her to White Water and Silver Dollar city this summer. Here you go.. here is my water Princess

Home Sweet Home

Well I am home now! I had a fantastic trip to Vegas. Had an amazing time visiting with my dad, Tiffany, and her two girls. It was a blast. Here are a few pics from my trip.

This was Eden, Me, Dad, and Tiffany at the Spasmatics concert. It was soo much fun! They are an 80's tribute band and I was soo impressed with how many 80's songs I knew! :D Then I was impressed that this white girl kicked off here heals and dance for a good hour hour and a half! Go me!!

Tiffany, Desi, and I went walking on this strip, and look who we found the coca-cola bear! He was kind enough to let us get a picture with him.
Last but not least is the pic of my dad napping before the Lion King started. He said he was napping before it started that away he stayed awake when it was on. LOL The show was absolutly amazing! My dad and I both enjoyed it very much!

Vegas

Well my Vegas trip is almost over. It was been a complete blast! I've enjoyed every bit of it! It's been a fun filled packed week. I guess I'll start at the top..

Thursday, I got it around 10 so my dad and Tiffany picked me up at the airport and we went to dinner then just went home and went to bed.

Fri we did a golf tournament benifit thing. It was actually really interesting. It was for this officer who was the first officer to die in the line of duty in 20 years. Well the lady who had put it all togeather is raising money to make a kids camp called Henry's Place. It was her husband that had died. My dad knows her really well so we helped out with that. Then we went home got some rest, freshened up and wen't over to this couples house that has become really close to my dad. We had an amazing dinner there, and some really nice fellowship. We then wen't to a place called Pete's where they have dueling pianos so that was fun!

Saturday we went Dawn's house, that's the lady who was married to Henry, the police officer. Hung out there most of the day played darts, Tiffany beat dad and I very bad! I'm not very good at darts. :D We then played pool and umm I think the game was corn hole.. not sure but it was REALLY fun! Something that'll be fun to play at home. That night we went and say an 80's tribute band called the Spasmatics, that was sooo much fun! I was really impressed with how many 80's songs I knew! And hey this white girl danced her little heart out! It was a blast!

Sunday was church, then we went and picked up Tiffany's little girl Desi and I got to meet her, she is super sweet! She's so funny to! We have had a blast playing! Then we were gonna try and got see the show Grease but it was sold out! That was a bummer, but that's ok 'cause then we came back to Tiffany's place and all hung out and had supper, got to hang with Shannon Tiffany's oldest. I really like her! I could see her and I having a good relationship of God will allow that to happen with us living so far apart. She is an amazing young woman! Shannon and I ended up staying up late and watching The Hangover, I hadn't seen it yet, it was really good, and really funny!

Monday Tiffany and I went to lunch then went and picked Desi up then we ran around so I could get some presents for certian people in my life. :D Then we came back to Tiffany's had dinner and then watched the Batchlorette. Monday was our lame day.. hahaha.. very low key. :D

So that leaves me with today, Tuesday. Today Tiffany and I met up with dad to try and make a hospital visit but that didn't work out so we decided to check Desi out of school early so we could go walk the strip. We went to the knew hotel and then went to the Billagio (or how ever you spell it) to check ot there flower thing that they always have. So that was fun. We then went to the M & M and coke store. I was able to buy some more people in my life some presents. :D

Tomorrow the plan is to help dad put some stuff on Craigs list and then dad and I are going to go to see the Lion King! I'm sooo stinking excited about that! It's going to be soo amaizng!

Then Thursday I will leave and head home. I'm ready to be there with my princess I have missed her! I have missed the hubby to.. looking forward to seeing, hugging, and kissing both of them.

Well I better get off here.. till next time..

A Real Post.. :D

Soo I guess we will start with Whitnee's birthday part, and birthday.

We had her princess party on May 8th. I was so blessed seeing how many people came to show there love for our Princess. Our yard was full with cars! Amazing to see how many people Whitnee has touched. Well that brings me to her actual birthday, and mothers day. Whitnee turned one on the 9th. She is so big! My mothers day was really good, got to spend it with my dad and his girlfriend. They came in town for Whitnee's birthday. It was really nice getting to spend the time with them! That brings me to my next thought.. I'm going on a vaca to Vegas!! YAY!! I get to spend some more time with my dad. I am however going to miss my princess, and my hubby! But I've got to take a vaca before I start watching Ellie. Gonna go and spend a week there It's going to be so much fun!

Speaking of Ellie, I'm starting to get really scared about watching her. Whitnee has become really clingy to her mommy and seeing me with another baby she gets upset. I know I know what is she going to do when you have another one? I just hate for her to think that I dont want to hold her. Soo keep me in your prayers in a couple of weeks 'cause it's going to be a ruff one. I'm also afraid that I wont be able to handle it and then what do I do? I can't tell Ami and Guy hey by the way you need to find a daycare. I would be to afraid that it would mess with our friendship. Soo I'm praying that it's all an easy transition.

Well it's rained all stinking week and that makes it a LOOONG week when you have a little one that LOVES being outside! Thankfully we will have a sunny day tomorrow, I see a lot of tomorrow being spent outside. That is after we do our running around.

Well off to shower and then to bed. Night all

Birthday Party

Whitnee's first birthday was amazing! There were so many people there that blessed Whitnee with many gifts. We really are blessed by all the people that love her! I had a blast with my dad and his girlfriend, she is a very nice woman, and my dad is truely blessed to have her in his life.

Here is a pic of her and her amazing outfit. I'm hoping to get some really good pics of her taken soon, i'm hopen she will start to walk before then. :D LOL We will just wait and see

The Princess Turns One!

It's so hard to believe that a year ago today I met our Princess for the first time! She has been such a great blessing and joy in our lives! I look forward to many more years of being able to see her grow!

My Daddy

So my dad is going to be here in almost a week and I couldn't be more excited! For those of you who dont know my dad is in Las Vegas, he has lived there for umm I think 8 years now. The last time I saw him was last fathers day when he came to do Whitnee's dedication. My dad comeing is a very bitter sweet thing 'casue I know that at some point he will leave to go back home and that's always such a hard thing for me! I miss having him close! It is very nice to get to talk to him but it's soo much nicer to have him close. Ne who on a better note, he is bring a lady friend with him, and I couldn't be more excited about it! I'm so happy that is has found someone to love and possably even share the rest of his life with. I look forward to meeting her and making sure she is ok and lucky enough to have my dad. :D Not that I'm worried he is a smart man. While my dad is here he will be staying at the house with us so that should be fun! I'm looking foward to the time that Whitnee will get to spend with him, and for him to see how much she has changed. So I say all that to say next week and weekend are going to be great! I can't belive that Whitnee is already going to be one! I was wrapping some of her presents today and I guess it just hit me, did I cry? NO but it just amazes me 'casue it's soo close and the year went by so fast! Then the 9th will come and my dad will have to go home and I'll be sad. So bitter sweet! OOO how I love my daddy and miss him so much!

Week Two

Week two of staying home with Whitnee was another good week. The weeks are actually going by so fast. Nothing really major to report. I got her invitations sent out for her birthday! Seems soo crazy!

I'm sooo excited 'cause my dad will be here on the 6th, and I'm looking forward to see him. He is bringing his "girlfriend" to. :D He's so funny 'cause he called to make sure I was ok with it.. hello dad you are 50 yrs old I can't tell you no. :D I was more worried about how she would feel staying in the same house as his daughter son in law and granddaughter, but she seems to be fine with it. So I'm looking foward to getting to meet her.

Hmm I really dont know what to say.. just felt like I needed to blog.. guess that's all I needed to say. :D Goodnight all

Day Book 0419

I am thinking....that I'm REALLY looking forward to my dad being here fro Whitnee's birthday!

I am thankful for...Have such great parents in my life

From the kitchen....Michael is cleaning.. just picking up from dinner

I am wearing... gray pants and a tshirt

I am creating....a list of things that need to be done before Whitnee's birthday

I am going....to send out Whitnee's birthday invitations tomorrow! WOW where has the time gone?

I am reading...Nothing right now.. I can never finish once I start :(

I am hoping...to start school in the fall

I am hearing...the tv

Around the house....there is little messes!

One of my favorite things...is being home with Whitnee, I've got to see all the stuff that she does.. she's gotten soo big! I didn't realize how much she did before I was home alone

A few plans for the rest of the week... send Whitnee's birthday invitations out, then just hang out.. maybe go to the red and white game!

Whitnee Smelling face

Happy Birthday Hubby!

Today is Michael's birthday, so here is a little blog just for him! He turned 32 this year. :D Him and I are going to Abuelos for dinner and then going to come home for cake and have some people over to hang out. It should be fun!

I love my hubby!! I'm so lucky to have him in my life!

Week One

Has been fantastic! This post my repeat some of the things I posted in the last post but oh well. :D I have REALLY enjoyed being home with the Whitnee. She has been such a goob! She loves when I tickle her. She loves when I ask to smell her feet she then in turn makes the cutest face when she smells then. I'll do everything I can to get a pic of it for ya'll. Being with her so much I've started to understand some of the words she is saying. She says bah bah most of the time when she wants her bottle. Of course there is still mama. Another thing she is doing is you will ask here where's the light and she will look up at the cealing and say ugh and sometimes even point. It's super cute! She has how ever started getting upset when I leave the room.. seperation anxiety is NO fun! I will then holler at her and she will ususally follow me. She has also started playing in her room by herself. It's so cute! I'll go in there everyonce and a while to check on her and she's just playing away. Guess I should move some of her toys back in there! That'll be GREAT 'cause we are running out of room in the living room. :D So it's soo hard for me to belive that she is almost one! I've GOT to get on the sending out the invitations! That'll be my project this week, making a list of everyone to invite and sending out the invitations. She is getting big way to fast!

So today we went out to go shopping for Michaels birthday that is tomorrow, and it amazes me how good she is when we are out. I always hear the screaming babies and pray that Whitnee is never like that. She LOVES to be out and about, and it makes it soo much easier on me! It does crack me up how much attention she gets. I can't tell you how many people saw her and said "oo look at that blonde blonde hair" or "aww look at that sweet baby she is so cute". It does make me very proud! It like they are in turn complementing me. :D haha

Well this week was really nice! I enjoyed getting out and walking! Maybe I can loose some weight now! We shall see. I've always struggled with my weight so I'm sure it's not going to be easy.

Well I must get some house work done so I can go to bed. :D

Day One and Day 2

Day one staying at home was not so bad. Whitnee and I had it out once 'cause she didn't want to take a nap, but then she finally gave up and took a nap. We had a really good walk with my friend down the road, her lil boy and girl. It was very nice! The weather has been fantastic! I'm so thankfull that she lives just down the road and that we can hang out when ever. It's so easy to hang out with her, no drama and just relaxing.

Day two was much better Whitnee took two hour and a half naps! It was really nice, I was also able to get stuff done around the house! She does how ever tear the living room up in a matter of seconds :D

Tomorrow we are going to go to lunch with my mom, we are going to try and make it a weekly thing and I'm really excited about that! I can only pray that Whitnee and I have as good of a relationship that my mom and I have. I'm so lucky to have her in my life!

Well Whitnee will be a year old in a couple of weeks, I can't believe it! She has been talking more and more the last couple of days she jabbers ALL the time! I've really got to kick it into high gear as far as getting stuff for her party and getting invitations sent out.

So it's official..

I'm a stay at home mommy. Today was my last day at work, leaving with out crying was the hardest thing to do! There was so many emotions, sadness, happiness, fear. Sadness becuase I LOVE the poeple I work with and I LOVED my job! Happiness 'cause I can be home and enjoy the Princess and experiance everything she does first hand. Happiness 'cause I can start school agian. Then fear just 'cause of the unknown, not having any plans for Monday, getting out of my routine, my comfort zone. Fear of what if. I must trust that God knows what's going to happen. God knows that we wil make it through the hard times that I'm sure will come. God knows everything. I know have to really trust him and trust that he really does know and that I dont, I am in His hands.

So on to Whitnee, I lied on her teeth update.. actually both of her top teeth are coming in. I love it! I also love how in the mornings she has been SUPER cuddly! It's been sooo nice! I soo look forward to those moments to come!

Well I think that's enough for now.. look forward to updated everyone on how my first week at home goes. We will see... :D

Last week has started...

So my last week at work has begun. It's not even a full work week either since I'm not working full days. It's soo crazy that it's here. I'm so excited though. It is however really starting to him me. I LOVE the people that I work with so it's kinda of sad that I wont be seeing them every day. I am however looking forward to the time I get to spend with my princess! I looking forward to seeing all the things she starts learning, and being able to experience them first hand.

So my goal this week when I"m working half days is to 1 get the house REALLY clean so I just have to mantain and then 2 get re enrolled in school. I think I'll go do that tomorrow after work. I didn't feel like going up there today.. was on a mission to get home and get some stuff done.

I am really looking forward to getting back in school.. that is if school is paid for. I'm praying that God will allow school to be paid for. I would be ok with just having to pay for my books. God is an amazing God so he may blow my mind away.

Well our easter weekend was a very full one. Was very nice though. Michael cousin had a party that we went to and Whitnee got to meet the Easter bunny, and she wasn't scared of him. She was very cute in her Easter dress too. I will now leave you with some pictures of this weekend.



Whitnee with Jacob..







Her Easter basket



And my fav.. her face is soo cute!

Day Book 0328

Outside my window.....It's dark and night time.

I am thinking....that I'm thankful for my hubby and that God blessed us with such an amazing littl girl, and that I'm looking forward to my boss being back tomorrow

I am thankful for...haha look above :D

From the kitchen....the dishwasher is running

I am wearing... clothes :D

I am creating....nothing acutally

I am going....to be a stay at home mommy in 2 weeks WOW!!

I am reading...The last Harry Potter

I am hoping...that the last two weeks at work will be good, and that I wont cry the last day i'm there 'cause i'm a cry baby :D

I am hearing...the tv

Around the house....is messy.. I REALLY need to clean tomorrow night!

One of my favorite things...is Whitnee, she has such a personality and is so funny!!

A few plans for the rest of the week... work, hanging out with friends, church, work, getting ready for by best friends baby shower Sat.

Two More Weeks

Well there are only two more full weeks till I'm a stay at home mommy. I'm actually thinking about talk to my boss when she comes back from maternity leave if I can jut work half days that last week. The girl that is taking my spot already works in my department so it shouldn't take that long to train her, and then that'll give her time to do stuff in the afternoon and then have questions in the morning. I'm so excited to be home and enjoy the summer weather with my princess, I'm not how ever looking forward to the storms. I do not like thunderstorms at all! I do enjoy thunder but not storms that bring on the tornado's, and the town the Michael and I live in seems to draw them. So that should be fun. I think it's just the being home alone thing. If all else fails I can pack Whitnee and Ellie up and go to a friends house that's just down the road.

Whitnee has started to say bye bye.. sometimes it's just bye.. sooo I've started to think maybe she is say ba ba aka bottle and then bye. She is also doing this thing where she sticks her tounge in and out and makes noises, you know what I'm talking about.

OO soo what's new in the life of me? I rolled/sprained my ankle so so bad! I've NEVER been in so much pain! I walked out of a local resturant and my foot twisted under me, it was horrable! I was crippled all weekend! Here is a pretty picture for you!



So I'm still on the mend from that still not walking "normal". Thankfully i wasn't holding the princess 'cause I fell flat. I was soo mad 'cause I was laying on the floor couldn't get up Michael had Whitnee and two guys walked out looked and me and just kept walking. Poor Michael had Whitnee and didn't know what to do, he wanted to help so bad but couldn't. Thankfully this VERY NICE lady came and helped and then we went to my moms and had her look at it. She did the same thing last year and the doctor told her that she would ahve been better off if she just broke it, it wouldn't have hurt so bad.



I filled out my FAFSA tonight. I'm really wanting to start school in the fall, so pray that I can get enough money to pay for that. I would like to take at least two classes. For sure a Math class and then not sure what the other one will be maybe a Physc class. We shall see. I really want to get money that I dont have to pay back. So that is my specific prayer.

Well it's 11. Time for bed. :D NIGHT ALL

The Countdown Starts...

It's official, my last day at work will be April 9th. Now that there is a date set i'm starting to get a little bit of anxiety! I know it's what God has planned for us, I know it's what Michael and I have worked so hard for. Why am I so worried? 'Cause I'm human, 'cause i've never been with out a job, 'cause I love my job. I have to remember that God will provide and that he will give me a calm spirit about it as it get's closer. As corney as it sounds I'm thinking about looking into getting a book about being a stay at home mommy. Will it help.. probably not but hey it's worth a try. Do they even make a book about stuff like that? LOL



Well Whitnee's top tooth is coming in.. she is going to be soo stinking cute with 3 lil teeth. OO we also got her bathing suit in.. I'll try and post pics soon.

Sooo this time change crap is kicking my butt! I can't get to bed before 11, and then 5:45 comes sooo early! Ugh.. I look forward to being home with Whitnee and getting to sleep in a little bit!

Well speaking of 11 it's comeing.. time for me to go to dream land! Keep me in your thoughts as the 9th get's closer!

Testing Couple of Days

Hmm.. I dont really know where to start. The past couple of days have been not really stressfull, just trying I guess you could say. Michael and I have just been tested as youth pastors. We have had to deal with some "drama". I'm praying that it will all be resolved very shortly. It has just all been a misunderstanding. I forget what it was like being a teen, granted I havn't been out of my teens for very long. I just pray that after this they will learn to come to Michael and I as soon as something happens or they hear that something happened that away they dont sit and stir on it for weeks, I also hope that they will learn that you just have to roll stuff of your shoulders and pick your battles. I also pray that God will help Michael and I through this time, not let us get discouraged, and help us understand he is trying to teach us something here.

Well on a better note, life at home has been really good! Michael and I got our season passes for White Water and Silver Dollar City this week. I'm soo looking forward to going this summer and then taking Whitnee to see the lights in the winter time. I look forward to making those memories with her! This summer is going to be great!

Thankfully the weather is starting to get nicer! I'm loving it! Whitnee and I went to the mall yesterday and hung out! It was very nice, she LOVES being outside and i'm sooo glad she does! I pray that she stays that away!

New Look

So we have been doing this new CIO (cry it out) sleeping thing with Whitnee. For the most part it's been going pretty good, she's only cried for as long as 10 min at a time. Those 10 min seem like forever to me and my heart. It's not a hurt cry so I know she's ok but it's a mommy I miss you cry and it breaks my heart. I know it'll be good for her in the long run but it eats me up. I just know that I've got to be able to put her to bed and let her sooth her self to sleep before Ami has Ellie and I have both of them home during the day.





We got Whitnee's ear pierced on Sat. She did so good! She was such a big girl! I really dont think she cried, it seemed as if she just went straight to freak out mode. She did so good though and looks soo cute!



I'm so excited Michael and I bought season passes to White Water and Silver Dollar City. I'm looking forward to taking Whitnee there this summer and then to Silver Dollar City to see Santa, and the lights. Growing up we never got to really take family vacations so that's one thing I want to be able to do with Whitnee but the rest of our kids as they come.



Whitnee is also starting to stand with out help.. makes me soo proud but so sad all at the same time. It's so hard to believe that she will be 10 months in just a week, where has the time gone? I've really been thinking lately how blessed my life really is! God has truely blessed me with an amazing family! Not just Michael and Whitnee but everone! How many 23yr olds can say that they are for the most part debt free except for a house, they have a fantastic husband and a wonderful daughter that she will get to stay home with full time because her husband knows it's a dream of hers? Now all I have to do is work towards that degree of mine in education. Then I'll be even more set. I just trust that if that's what in God's will for me it'll happen on His time, not my own.



Yet agian let me express how ready I am for spring! Ready for sandles capris, windows up and rolled down in the car. Spring also means I'll be home with Whitnee. I'm really excited I found out that the Bentonvill Library does a baby "reading" class they have "story time" then play with bubbles ect. They also have a toddler class, so I'll be able to take Whitnee to that and get to meet other SAHM (stay at home mom).

Well that's enough for now. Good night

Random Pics

So sleepy from church!




Happy Valentines Day!













Look at those teeth!

It's official!

I will for sure be home my May 1st if not sooner! God is so amazing! After we get our tax money we will be able to be down to just Michaels car and our house! Me being able to be a stay at home mommy and wife has always been our plan but now that it's happening it's kinda scary and crazy! I hear that it's one of the hardest jobs but it's also one of he most rewarding! I feel so blessed to have a husband who has the same goals that I do, and one that is ok with that. He is so fantastic I couldn't ask for any one else!

So keep my friend Ami in your prayers, i'm currently up here at the hospital with her. She has a kidney stone and so they are having to keep her up here so they can keep her hydrated! Sweet Ellie is doing perfect! Thank God! Ami is just exhausted right now, but is getting better. Guy (her hubby) has been really sweet and helpfull he's been great, agian couldn't ask for a better guy for my best friend!

Whitnee had her first tast of Mac n Cheese the baby food kinda and wasn't sure what to think about it 'cause of the texture it was so funny! She made the funniest faces! She has also started saying dadada again. :D she wil go back and forth between that and mama. She soo makes the world a better place!

For valentines day we got her a stuffed princess bear and a card for her book. I'll take pics and post. We go to her 9month check up on Tuesday, praying she is 20lbs so we can turn her around in her big girl seat so she can see the rest of the world. :D

Well I'm gonna get off here.

Whitnee and the snow

Standing in the snow, and she LOVED it!!




Waiting for Daddy to take her in the snow.

Water Baby

So I LOVE these pictures of Whitnee, she is such a water baby, and I'm soo glad. Enjoy the pics..

Michael got her to lean back and "relax" she LOVES it

I just love her face in this one with her feet up in the air. OH she is a doll

Yet Another...

Chance of snow.. ugh... I'm so beyond ready for spring! I'm ready for the trees to be full of color, to see flowers in peoples yards to see birds flying around, to be able to take the princess out side and not have to worry about it being to cold, I'm ready for my head cold to go away. I just ready. :D

Whitnee is at her grandma and grandpa's house tonight. We figured it would be better that away just in case we do lose power, and that away we have some one to watch her if Michael and I have to go to work. Speaking of work my boss starts her maternity leave tomorrow, I'm going to miss her. Some of you may see that as weird but I love my boss! She is a great person to work for!

Oh and to talk about my last post baby Lucas came Saturday night. He's soo cute! I LOVE his hands they remind me of old man hands. He's super cute, it's also really sweet to see Ginger with him she's going to be a great baby sister! I look forward to seeing how Whitnee does with a brother or sister. 'Cause she knows she is a princess and LOVES being the center of attention. She is so sweet and so wonderful! It's amazing how quite the house is with out her! No toys making nose's now lil voice saing mama or baba or dada no giggling at her daddy.

Michael's mom told me this morning that she doesn't need the pillow under her walker any more 'cause she can reach the floor now. I think she has gone through a growth spert her recently she seems chunker and taller. LOL She will go to the doc for her 9month check up on the 16th. She doesn't get shots this time, so I'm actually kinda excited about it.

Well I think my brain has stopped now.. can't think of anything else to talk about! Have a good night, let's hope the weather isn't to bad.

Eat Better Plan

Soo this blog will be all about me. :D LOL



I've started this new eat better plan. I dont want to call it a diet 'cause diets never work. This is a new better change of mind make better choices plan. I'm super excited about it! I'm going off of the Bodies For Life book. My boss did this "diet" before she got prego and she lost a lot of weight, and she did it healthy and still ate out! We dont eat out very much but when we do I now know how to make better choices on what to eat. I've only been doing this since the 18th of this month but hey I already feel good! Ok soooo that away you can keep track of how far i've come and so I can keep track of how far I've come I think i'm going to post my weight.. don't think i'm going to do it this blog I may have to build up to it. :D



I also just got this app on my phone that is called couch to 5k. It's a 3 times a week excersice running/walking thing. It does it in 9 weeks. The only down thing is I've got to force my self out of bed at 5 to get it done. I think I will feel better about my self when I really start doing it.



This is the first time I've ever done a change of mind eat better plan and I'm actually REALLY excited about it! I'm just praying that I stick to it. sooo I'll be needing the support of who ever actually reads this blog and then of the great hubby! He is already helping me with it by eating all the bad stuff in the house. I can't belive i've actually going to say this BUT I'm kinda looking forward to getting out of bed at 5 in the morning... now that may change when it comes time to acutaly doing it but hey as of now I'm excited!

Brrr

Sooo this weather has soo not been my friend! I do not like this FREEZING stuff! I'm ready for flip flops and capris already. :D




Well with the weather being bad we have had to find other people to watch Whitnee. I'm so thankfull to my mom and my sister for watching her Monday and Tuesday so Michael and I could go to work. They are the best ever! Michael's mom ended up keep Whitnee for like 3 days. That was nice! It's amazing how much different out lives have changed since she has came into our world.



Well God is awesome one of the bills we still owed on from having Whitnee we were able to pay it off this month, and they let it go from almost 600 to around 400! My God is amazing! That means with our tax money we will be able to pay off Michaels credit card, and that's one step closer to making it easier for me to be home! YAY!



I'm really nervous about watching Whitnee and Ellie. I have my moments of thinking I can't handle it! I'm also hopeing that maybe I'll be able to be home sooner that away I can get into a routine with Whitnee before Ellie comes along. I also have to remind my self that Ellie will sleep most of the time for the first month or so.. that time flew by with Whitnee due to the fact that all I did was sleep as well. :D



I'm looking forward to it getting closer to Ellie being here 'cause if Ami's hubby is still working where he works now then I will be spending the night with Ami on Wednesdays and Thursdays just in case anything happens. How much fun will that be? YAY :D LOL I can't wait to see her and see what she looks like, i'm sure she will have dark hair. I've also been doing a lot of thinking about her and Whitnee 'cause they will be forced to be friends when they are younger becuase they will always be around each other. But then i think will they be friends as they grow older? I sure hope so!


Well that's enough babbling for tonight.. time to get some beauty sleep 'cause this mommy needs it. :D Night all
