Remember when....

I was looking through my pictures when I came across this one. My dad was holding Arlee and she was pretty fussy. It seemed like out of no where it was peaceful again. I looked over and my dad had Arlee asleep. This picture was taken a year ago today. My oh my Arlee has grown. : ) Now she needs to fall asleep in her bed or play pin. Otherwise, forget it. She doesn't even sleep in the car anymore, unless it is for 5 minutes.

 Anyway, there is a little picture down my memory lane.

YEA!!!!!

I have been so lucky these last six weeks. Lets just say that I am very excited that it finally worked. My ear surgery went great as some of you may have read. Not only did it go really well in the operating room, but during recovery too. I went to my doctor appointment a couple of days ago and he said that my packing (stuff that holds the ear drum in place so it can take to the graft) is gone. YEA!!! What does this mean?! I can start blowing my nose, air plane rides, etc. The only thing that I should refrain from is getting water in it until he clears me; hopefully in April.  Blood vessles look great so that means that they have taken to the graft, which is a really good sign I shouldn't have another surgery. 
Just a side note: I had a hearing test and voices I can hear better, but pitches are still about the same with little or no improvement.  I am glad that I am hearing voices better. since that seems to be the thing that I struggle with on a daily basis when people are talking to me. If any of you would like me to hear you really well either talk right in front or on the left of me. If you are on the right and I am not looking at you and you are trying to be quite, I cannot promise any reaction. Just saying.

Thank you for the prayers and support on my behalf it means a lot.

Love you all,

Chels

P.S.
Not sure if this is a good thing all the time, but I can actually hear Arlee when she wakes up and I am sleeping on my good ear. WOOOOooooo WHOoooo!

Arlee's New Favorite Song

Arlee now has a new favorite song. DRUM ROLL PLEASE!  ............ ........... ......... ........... ......... ............ ......... ........... ........... ............ ............. .............. ............. ............. .............. ............. .............. ............ ........ ...................... ....................................  ................................   ........................... .............
None other than Pocket Full of Sunshine by Natasha Beddingfield. Listen below on the playlist. #29!

Story behind this post:

I was looking at some trailers from movies and there was one for Easy A (stupid, don't watch it). The main girl was singing; "I gotta pocket gotta pocket full of sunshine..." Anyway, Arlee stops what she is doing and just starts "shakin it". When the trailer was over she says, "MORE?!" Now when she hears it on the radio she does the same thing. Arlee loves to listen and dance to music and usually envolves Hans and I in this booty shakin fun. Dancing with our little girl is a joy and it usually ends with Arlee dancing/shaking so hard that she falls over... Then the laughing begins. haha aaaaaaaaaa ha
We love our little girl. She is a giggly little thing. : )

Until next time: Shake it, Shake it, Shake it like a Polaroid Picture. Oh man I am funny! (also on our playlist except it is a remake -HEY YA!)

I watched my niece, Kasiah for a couple of days while my mom, who normally watches her was visiting my sister in Colorado. Arlee and Kasiah had a great time together. Mostly....They are just youngens. :)

 

Outfits provided by Arlee and her dress up stash! Their tops are from my sister, Lyndsay and the bottoms are from Christmas from me and Hans. the shoes are from Hans' mom for Christmas.

Kasiah wanted to do "silly faces".

I took the Kiddos to The Discovery Gateway the first day we had her over. They played grocery store. That baby on the counter Arlee carried around forever! Okay it was more like the whole time. Everytime that we have been there she goes looking for it. While we are at home as you can imagine it is much the same.

Kasiah rode around in the little cars

Arlee played in the water most of the time.

They played in the Beehive. Arlee was more interested in this than Kasiah, but nonetheless they had fun making faces on the plastic windows.

They had fun together on the weekend.

By the way Kasiah had cut her own hair and that is why it is really really short, especially in some spots.

OKAAAAYYYY! You can say that I am offically irritated... Here is a picture, which by the way is WAAAAAYYYY delayed since I wasn't able to add it forever and now that I thought I figured out the problem it won't let me add it to a post that I need it in. So for now this will have to do. Thanks all.

GOSH!

P.S.

Okay I feel better now. BREATHE!

HELP!!!

Someone please help me! My blog will not let me post any pictures. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Pregnancy...

Well, I think it is about time to announce a pregnancy. I have had my ear surgery and everyone else seems to be doing it. I hope this next time is a good pregnancy. We will have to see what the future brings. No, I am not pregnant, but you better believe that I would love to be. 

For now, this is just giving me an outlet to say please give me the pregnancy hormones! Sooner the better or when the time is right. Just sayin'.

Love,
MMMmmmmeeeee!
