My life is changed forever!!

So we all know that I am anal about having my floors clean that is why I have a Dyson and have my own carpet cleaner. Well this is my newest beloved piece of machinery. It's called the Floor Mate and you can get it at any Walmart or Target store. This thing is amazing it vacuums, washes, and dries all your hard floors. Never again will I be on my hands and knees cleaning my floors. I would for sure recommend it to anyone. Thanks Tazzy for this amazing birthday present- sure do love ya!!

Sunny Arizona

So this is going to be a long post because I am sick of all the slide shows that say they are empty. Anyway- this past weekend we made a fun trip to sunny Arizona to stay with our great friends the Startin's. We were going to use buddy passes given to us from our awesome friend Nicole but the flights were looking really full all day so we decided to use our miles to fly. There was only one seat available on the 11 and one on the 3 o'clock flights- which meant that we had to split up. I was a little worried about this because those of you that have a two year old can understand my concern. So me and Lia went out at 11 by ourselves and she was a perfect angel!!!! She slept in my arms the entire way!! I was able to wrangle her- a stroller- two bags- and a car seat all by myself. We picked up the rental car and were on our way to see Cody, Aubry, and there cute little guy Gage. Then we came back and picked up Daddy when we got in. So we arrived Friday and just spent the day hanging out and letting the kids play outside. We decided to put the kids in the tub together (they are going to hate us for this when they grow up :) Cody happens to be an ultrasound tech with his own equipment so when he got home Friday night he scanned both me and Aubry- who is due about one month after me. I was 19 weeks so we could be 100% sure what the sex was and it is a...........GIRL!!! It was nice to know for sure and now I am so excited to plan for another little princess. We got up Saturday morning and headed out to Freestone Park- it had little rides for the kids. Lia was really freaked out- I am not sure what was going she is usually a dare devil but she wanted nothing to do with these rides... take a look. She did like the train that circled the park as long as she sat on my lap.

We finally got her to ride the carousel and she had a ton of fun.

For those of you that have a baby wise baby you can understand that they like to sleep in their own room and so we put the port a crib in the bathroom. One day while Lia was supposed to be napping I realized that she was not asleep and went to check on her and I found that she had pulled a whole roll of toilet paper in the crib with her!!!! I laughed so hard and had to take a pic.

We went to the splash pad at the mall but Lia was fast asleep she finally woke up and had a blast!



And then there was ice cream.

Saturday night we went to an outdoor showing of Cars. It was so much fun we sat out on blankets and ate treats and popcorn.

We had so much fun at the Phoenix Zoo. Lia loved seeing all the animals and riding the train around the zoo- the giraffes were for sure her favorite.




There was a lot of this....

After the zoo we headed up to the Marrriott resort for some fun in the kiddie pool. It was so awesome and Lia loved it.





We had so much fun and Lia was just as good on the way home- thanks again to the Startin's for a great time. We love you guys!!

The 80's called- they want their bangs back.

This morning I went to get Lia out of bed and this is what i found....

WOW- talk about 80's bangs. She must have been working on these all night long!!

It took a lot of work to get it to look like this :)

I finally gave in....

And got Lia the cute green gingham Pottery Barn kids chair that matches her room. I have been thinking about it for a while and when I found this one on sale all I had to do is tell Lia to say to Taz, "Daddy, I want it". Boy she sure has him wrapped around her finger he he. Being the clean freak I am- I love that you can take the whole cover off and wash it!!! After we got it home Lia would not get out of it. Here are some pics of the cutest girl in the world and her new chair. P.S. I told Lia to say cheese and this is the face she gave me.
