A moment when...

I really, REALLY shouldn't have laughed....But I couldn't help it!!!

 Yes....this is Beaudreauxs Butt paste that she has slathered herself in...

And she is really proud!!!

Well, while I was trying to figure out how to fix my blog doing really important stuff...Eliza found the diaper rash cream I left for her convenience in the diaper bag...on the couch

and smeared it allllll over her belly

as you can see in the pics above.

My first response was a panicked "OH Nooooo!"

But then I looked at my sweet little girl

COVERED in Butt paste

and I cracked.UP!!!

Probably not the right thing to do in this situation,

but I couldn't help it!!

By some miracle, there was no paste on the couch, or her  jean shorts that were on top of the diaper bag

only on her....

and mostly on her belly!

So even if it was NOT a good thing...she did pretty good

if you know what I mean.

But after one loooonng bath

{with some soap that is definitely not baby soap}

She is grease free

and our tub has a nice greasy butt paste ring all the way around the bottom!!

haha

Probably a huge mommy fail all around.

But I love being a mommy to this little girl so much!!!

And she is taking a nap right now by-the-way...
I learned my lesson!!!

My blog needs help...

Im trying to get a little fancier with my blog template and stuff, but until I figure out how to add my title to the blog header, it will look like this....unless I can't figure it out, and then it will go back to normal. I have googled it, but I need some help...in english, not tech talk. For anyone who knows about this type of thing, I could use some help...please...

Weekend with Memaw and Tickie tie

Well I am almost 29 weeks along (on thurs), but Here is a pic of what 28 weeks looks like. My shirt basically blends into the closet doors I just noticed haha so maybe not a great pic. But I feel great, and I am just getting more and more excited to have a newborn again!!! In just about 10 weeks we will get to meet our new baby girl, and we cant wait!!! We are also still deciding on a name, but feel like maybe we are getting closer...maybe :}

This past weekend was so much fun! Friday evening after David and I both got "off" work (weird to be included in that) we drove up to his parents house to spend the night. David helped his dad move in the weights and other equipment he had just purchased, and then we ate and played and had a relaxing evening. Eliza went to bed late at about 10:30, and then we didnt get to bed until almost 2, but I figured with the busy day we'd had Eliza would definitely sleep in...NOT! She woke up wide awake at 6:00AM...ugh. But thats ok because that meant that we were up and ready to leave by 9:30. David and I anyways. Eliza had a "Memaw and Tickie tie day". We were able to go out by ourselves allll day, which hasn't happened probably since Eliza was born! Of course I missed her about 5 mins down the road, but I knew she was having way more fun with memaw and tickie tie, and it was so nice to have time alone together. We were able to go the the movies, which I haven't done in Months. I felt like a kid in the theater for the first time....seriously. I know it sounds a little extreme but I was really excited. haha. We saw the Help, which was such an awesome movie. I was in tears halfway through. Poor David was one of only about 4 men in the whole theater....and he was definitely the youngest by about 20 years for the most part. What a good husband. He did like it, but it was definitely more my kind of movie. We went to the mall, and we went out to eat. And it was so weird to not have a little toddler to keep occupied. I mean dinner was so nice and peaceful, it was ridiculous!! Davids parents both sent us picture messages throughout the day to keep us updated on what our lil angel was up to. I wish I had those on my computer because they are priceless!! But she definitely had the best day, and she DEFINITELY was super spoiled!!! Her day involved lots of outside time with the puppy and kitties, swimming with Memaw, ice cream, shopping, dancing, and pretty much whatever she wanted them to do haha. We met them that evening to pick her up, and she didn't want to leave them...it broke my heart a little, but I am so glad to know that she loves her memaw and tickie tie so much and that they take such good care of her! She had on a cute new outfit, and memaw had curled her hair!!! The whole way home I kept looking back at her and just smiling the biggest smile because that curly hair was probably the cutest thing ever!!!

Its a little smashed because of the carseat :(

But you can still see a few precious curls

around her lil face

I wish she would let ME do this....

doesn't it make you just want to attack her with Kisses!!!

A new groove

It's true, she almost never wears clothes anymore!!

Its too darn hot!!

*Just as a warning, this is a random, spill my brains post:

Well it has really been dawning on me this past week just HOW much our lives are about to change. And not just in Early November when the littlest Philipbar girl arrives, like next week! I was supposed to watch the boys again this week Wed., Thurs., and Fri., while thier mamma had meetings, and then full time starting next week when she is back to teaching; but her meetings were cancelled. I can honestly say I was a little relieved, and I know she was too. Another full week of summer is good for the soul. We have gotten into a pretty good "groove" around here, Eliza and I, and it is a little overwhelming to think about finding a new one. I think I am mostly apprehensive about what to do with 3 busy kids all day in a small apartment, with minimal outside time considering the extreme heat. Speaking of THREE kids, I cant get over the fact that in a matter of a few short months, I will go from having one baby to take care of during the day, to three, to FOUR!!! Well really 1 young child, 2 toddlers, and a newborn. However it splits up, I will have four kiddos to care for everyday during the week. As much as I know my life will change, with digging deep down to find my creative side, to a completely new schedule; I am really hoping that Eliza will handle all of the craziness ok. I know she needs some buddies, so for that reason it will be good. But the mommy and Eliza days are almost over, and I know I will miss them, and I'm sure it will be hard for her too. All of these new changes, especially our new addition to the family, are wonderful and exciting, but sheesh I have to get my act together!!! I think knowing that I will soon have absolutely NO spare time in the not-too-distant-future, has played on my subconscious a little bit. I find that I am giving myself a little more time during naptime to do things I want to do, instead of just the usual housework, etc. And I don't feel guilty about it. I am not being lazy, or neglecting my duties, and Eliza is getting as much love and attention as ever...I am just taking advantage of the little "free" time I have left. Also I think that nesting comes in the form of decorating/re-decorating for me. I have rearranged pictures and added things to our apt. like crazy this past week!! It is kind of a bummer to want to get all creative on zero budget. lol but I have re arranged to my hearts content...for now:) There is so much that is unknown right now, and it is exciting and scary all at the same time!! I am so grateful that I have a loving Heavenly Father who knows me, and who loves me enough to entrust me with all of these responsibilites. I am also so grateful for an amazing husband to be on this journey with. And of course for my Eliza Elysse, who brings me more joy than I could ever have imagined...and a sweet new baby girl who is, at this very moment kicking me in the bladder, reminding me that she is here and all is well! :)

Bump watch...26 weeks!!

I feel huge, and when I look in the mirror I see a huge ol belly, but whenever I see it in a picture, it doesn't look nearly as big! I think I have circus mirrors or something. Every time I tell people I am 6 1/2 months along, they tell me I look too little to be that far along...I dont know why that is disappointing, I guess I wish I looked as big as I feel. ha. Less than 100 days before baby girl makes her entrance!! Still completely stumped on a name. I love that at this point I can feel her moving constantly through out the day, not the little kicks and punches, but the BIIIG flips and jumps and hiccups. It feels like my whole stomach is jumping when she moves sometimes.

 I feel good, and although I am way tired by the end of the day, my energy levels are mostly high throughout the day. Eliza and I started our babysitting job this week. Just a few days this week, and next while their mom had back-to-school meetings, and then we are on full time after that. But it went great this week! We were at their house, which was awesome, but we wont be able to do that most days because of our car situation, so hopefully things will go as smoothly at our little apartment....yikes. Eliza loved having new friends to play with, even though they are so much bigger and she mostly just messed up whatever they were playing...poor thing. But this is good for her to get this experience with other kids. I am still trying to figure out how to prepare her for a new baby sister in a few months!

Texas is waaaayy too too stinkin hot!! We try to go on a walk early in the mornings before it gets too ridiculous and unbearable, but otherwise we keep outside time to like 10 or 15 min. increments throughout the day. One of Eliza's favorite words right now is..."Hot"...haha
