My boy is all grown up (and no I am not talking about Carter)

So my cute Dave decided to dive into the world of blogging. He has an opinion about pretty much everything so it should be pretty entertaining to read. I am excited for him to have a place to jot down all those things that are on his mind. He decided to go with wordpress instead of blogger because he felt blogger was a little to pretty and girly for him! :) Justify it however you want babe! :) Anyway, if you want to check it out his address is dertydave.wordpress.com

Happy Reading!

Warning: I am only his wife, not his mother, and therefore have ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL of what comes out of his mouth. Read at your own risk!

Has anyone seen my voice??

So my cute Carter man has developed a bit of a cold. His voice was starting to go and get a bit raspy. He came up to me and said, "Mom, I think I am losing my voice."

And I said, "Yes, you are."

It was moments later that I looked at Carter and he was crying. I asked him what was wrong and he said...

"I am sad that I lost my voice, I will miss my voice." He thought he would NEVER get it back.

Poor kiddo, I tried to comfort him and share in his turmoil while trying to hold back laughter at the same time. I told him that I have lost my voice before and it CAME BACK.

He immediately wanted to know how long it took me to get my voice back.

Priceless parenting moment!

Get better kiddo, I sure love you!

Oh Yea Baby!

So that sweet picture you see up above came from my darling In-laws. Oh, I loved them before but they really jumped to the top of my favorites list with this sweet delivery! I really consider them as my second set of parents and some of my very best friends. They just stopped by today to bring me diet coke and lemons. They said we know you love these so we thought we would drop them off. Can you believe that?

I don't think they know how needed that was today either. My cute Allie didn't go to sleep until around 1:00 in the morning and then I got a wakeup call at 5:45 with Jacey throwing up all over me. (A moment every mother looks forward to!)

At 5:45 Carter decided it was time to be up so we got up and watched Cars. Who doesn't want to get up at 5:45 to watch a movie?

Anyway, Thanks Chuck and Cathy for your thoughtfulness, it really meant a lot to me! I Truly Love you with all my heart and feel completely blessed to be a part of your family! Thanks for always accepting me with open arms! I love you both! And now I am off to enjoy a diet coke! :)

You call me a witch like it's a bad thing!

This is Jacey in her witch costume that I made her for Halloween. We decided to venture out to Gardner Village for wee witches night out. So here is my cute little witchy woman.



This is Jace and Me on our girls outing to Gardner Village. It was fun to have a day with just her. We went with some friends and one of her MOST FAVORITE AUNTS! We love you Lex, Thanks to her I have these cute pics. I of course forgot my camera.



You would think she is just pulling a face...watch out though...she is actually casting a spell.



Jacey and her friend Kylie.



It was a beautiful day at Gardner Village and we had such a fun girls outing!

Happy Birthday Allie!

My sweet Allie girl turned one today. We had a birthday party for her yesterday with the family. I can't believe she is already ONE! Man that year went by fast.



This is a cute picture of my little Alligator with mom and dad!



If I have taught her anything at all it is to love chocolate!



And a good soak in a tub. Gotta love that too.

I just want my little Allie to know how much we love her. She brings so much joy into our family. She is so sweet and I just love to cuddle her. She is my most cuddly baby and I love to hold her. Happy birthday sweetie!

All you want to know about me! (and then some I am sure)

5 Joys

*The beginning of the holiday season (I love this...I am such a KID when it comes to the holidays...you name it I love it! I still have trouble sleeping on Christmas Eve!)
*When you put on a pair of pants or switch purses and find a five dollar bill. Sweet. Totally love that!
*A diet coke with lemon!

5 Fears
*Having something terrible happen to my family
*SPIDERS
*Confrontation
*Heights (hate them! Dave took me on a hike when we were newlyweds and I thought I was going to die. Obviously he still had a little to learn about me!) :)
* Being alone

5 Obsessions
*Checking the stove every SINGLE night to make sure the gas is turned off. Also, checking the locks a million times at night to make sure the doors are locked.
*Holidays...LOVE THEM!!!!!
*Day after thanksgiving shopping. I think this could be classified as a sport.
*Diet coke
*Watching my kids play

5 Surprising Facts
*I have end phobia. If I go to a movie or out to dinner with a group of people. I can't sit on the end.
*I got up at 5:30 in the morning to go and get the last two wizard of oz dolls for my collection from Mcdonalds. Yes that is right...McDonalds. Diet coke, last two dolls in my collection...sweet victory!
*My husband says my naivety is surprising but if you really know me this will come as no shock.
*I have a fear of the worst case scenario. Example, Allie was a few weeks old and I didn't feel like she was making eye contact, so I was SURE she was autistic. My pregnancies are even worse. Long 9 months. I call my mom (nurse) almost daily with a new question and fear.
*I have a feisty side. Roar! :)
