Baby Purchases

Now here are some items we have purchased for our baby girl.

The crib...with the material I chose for her bedding. We are leaving the walls in there blue. Accenting her room with browns and a coral/pink color and of course a few Cinderella things here and there. (Anjolee I am FINALLY going to get the picture you got me one year for Christmas framed and put up in this room!) Oh and this is a convertible crib that changes from a crib, to toddler bed and then to a full size bed. We ordered the conversion pieces and are still awaiting their arrival.

Her dresser -- the stuff on there is what was on the old piece of furniture that was in the room...I do not know if all of it will stay. Oh and we also ordered a glider/rocker...it will probably not be in until September, so I will post pictures of that later.

The old chest of drawers I have yet to empty and get out of the room...

And my sweet sister, Laci, gave us her infant car seat, two bases, toddler car seat and stroller. All matching. Here is a picture of the toddler car seat.

I showed you that to justify my purchase this past weekend in Wichita Falls...I bought this car seat cover to make it super cute and girly. Normally I would not spend this amount of money on something so silly, but since I did not have to purchase any of the car seats, I reasoned with myself that it was ok to blow money on this:





















And I of course had to purchase this while I was there...hopefully it truly is a miracle and will allow our baby girl peaceful naps and sleep times.

And because of my massive purchase and just for entering into the store, I got to put 7 tickets into the box to win this:

It is a Cherry twin size bed with trundle. I do not know how this would fit in the room with all her other stuff, but if you re-read above, her crib does not convert to a twin, so this would come in handy :) I am not sure if the wood will match exactly either, but I hope I win!!

That is my latest on the baby preparation. Whew! I am tired...

A question...

Crazed Child

The only thing I can think of is Chris' cake did this to her...either that or she really is as silly as she seems, hehehe.

Celebrating Chris

Chris' Birthday Cake...see him in the window? Hahaha

















Chris getting ready to blow out the candles...

















Quite possibly the cutest picture of Spencer I have ever taken...notice he is clean here.





















Chris and Ben being silly in the pool

This was at Babe's where we ate dinner with my side of the family on Tuesday...not his actual birthday.

And now for a video of the girls singing to their Uncle Chris:

Leaving today for a long weekend

So we are leaving today for a long weekend visiting my in-laws. I am super excited to have a weekend to relax and to celebrate our countries freedom as well as my wonderful husband's birthday!! His birthday is the 5th and we are grilling out to celebrate him and his awesomeness :)


We have to take Chris' truck...not our first choice for travel, but we are exchanging some mattresses with Ron and Teresa. And we have to take Spencer...booo! I wish I had someone to watch him but I don't feel like it is fair to ask anyone to do that over the holiday weekend. I went outside earlier because he was barking up a storm in a mean bark and much to my dismay he is digging like a wild crazy dog in the bed of a new rose bush.

This picture doesn't really do his dirtiness justice. Now I am going to have to bathe him before our trip...you know my favorite thing to do when I am tryin to clean house, do laundry, and pack before our trip. You see, because we are hauling these other large items this onery fool has to be inside the truck with us in all of his blessed stinkiness. And incase you forgot, I have a heightened sense of smell right now, so when I say stinkiness I mean the kind that might make me barf during a 2 hour long car ride. Pray this all works out.

Stinky little ornery Spencer...

Hannah Montana

So last night we ate Taco Bueno and then did toes before going to see the Hannah Montana movie at the dollar theater with 4 crazy kiddos. Here is a picture of the kiddos and then of their toes...






































It was pretty comical because we were trying to do this all before we left to go see the movie at 7:25...I didn't get home til after 6:00 so you can see the time crunch of trying to get 4 kids fed and then toes done. But we were successful. And then we rush to the theater only to realize Connie left her wallet at my house...you know the wallet with the tickets in it!! Luckily we explained to the manager that we had lost a wallet with our tickets in it and they let us in with out any tickets! She must have seen the desperation in our faces with the four kids! So see, there really are nice people in the world :)

Oh and I highly recommend the Hannah Montana movie. It was cute and funny and filled with cute songs for the kids to sing to. It had absolutely nothing bad in it, which is surprising considering the cartoon movies that are released now are filled with questionable language and actions. I enjoyed it and laughed out loud several times. I think I might buy it...you know, I AM having a little girl so it will come in handy down the road...

23 Weeks

Ok, so just be prepared...this photo was taken at 1:15 this morning. That's right 1:15 AM. Why on earth do you ask would I be up at this hour? On a work night? Oh, because I went to play Mystery Date with Mattie, Ryder Roo (hehehe, I like calling him this), Julesie and Mia. When in all actuality I didn't really play myself. But that was why Chris and I went over there in the first place. Mattie needed to play and so playing is what happened.


After all the kiddos went to bed Levi, Chris, Connie and I continued our conversations well past midnight. Thus resulting in not getting home til around one and Chris had to unload mattresses out of the back of his truck and I forced him to take my picture before I got into the shower to go to bed. And yes, I am tired today...5:30 came WAY too early. But I had a fun day...I will post on that later. I need to go get into the shower now because it is after 11 already!
