The shower is here!

No, not outside. Ha ha ha ha ha. Its Heidi's wedding shower. After today then I will have wedding stress instead of shower and wedding stress. : ) I am soooooooooo happy that it's sunny outside! Now to conquer having a hot baby! I guess she will be in just a diaper this summer. Thank goodness we don't live in Vegas. God doesn't even like to visit Vegas in the summer ha ha ha ha! Looks like I will be getting my camera! So very excited!!! I can't wait to take pictures!!!!!! Well, that's all for today! Enjoy your Saturday!

Being selfish..........

Sometimes I just want to be selfish. I have wanted a really nice camera for a while. FOR A LONG WHILE!!! I may get it, I may not. It just depends on how things work out.

I HATE ALLERGIES!!! They are sooooooo annoying! Makes me mad! I want to go outside and enjoy the weather but I'm miserable! I need a tan before the wedding. LOL If not, I guess it's not that big of a deal.

Today, I haven't found my inspiration for a blog. : / It is getting easier to be a single parent on nights that Josh has to work late, which will be 2 nights a week for July. I had her fed, bathed and down for bed by the time he got home last night. Maybe next week or the week after we will start green beans and peas so that's pretty exciting. Well, I guess that's all for now seeing as how I may just end up rambling on about random crap ha ha ha. Enjoy your Friday!

Banana bread!

I attempted to make banana bread for the first time and I would have to say it was a success! I loooove it! Nana watched Lexi for me while I got some stuff done. Thanks Nan! Lexi didn't even make it home awake!

I got almost all my laundry done, all my dishes done, stuff done for the bridal shower for my sister, and banana bread made! Successful day :) 

What a tuckered little girl. Nana wore her out! :)

Tomorrow may or may not be a busy day, not sure yet. Husband is working late tonight. :( SUCKY! Hopefully Lex will be easy for me tonight!!!! Cross your fingers! Well, I better finish that laundry before she wakes up. I didn't take her out of her car seat :) LOL

SUCH A BUSY DAY!!!

    Happy INDEPENDENCE DAY!! No matter how much of our independence that was fought so hard for and so many lives were lost, Obama is still trying to take our freedom away a little at a time! If you didn't know where I stood on him, now you know! Don't even get me started!!!!

I love the FREEDOM I have. The freedom to raise my daughter the way I want to, to lift my hands in worship, to say when I think the president of this country is running it straight into the ground, to support our wonderful troops that put their lives on the line everyday. Thanks Mike Raaf for serving this country! I love you big brother!

Lex enjoyed what she saw of the fireworks. She's very tired and hasn't gone down for bed yet. We are working on it. Hopefully it goes okay. Our neighborhood is rather noisy! Here's a pic of Lex enjoying the fireworks lol...

She's asleep if you couldn't tell! :) Goodnight all! Don't take your freedom for granted. I don't!

I'm down!

    Ok, it doesn't seem like much but I have lost 1.5lbs since friday! I'm soooooooo happy! I did a pretty good workout yesterday on the wii and I'm going to costco today and I will be carrying Lex the whole way because it burns more calories!!!
    I'm baby sitting 2 babies today. Lex and Joey! Joey is seeming like such a little kid today and is driving me nuts lol! He just wants attention. Well, I better get going. Lex is down and I need to do laundry and eat and get ready before she wakes up. Hopefully today is better than yesterday!

I've gone this far!

    Well, as of this morning I had gone 3 and a half months without getting peed on and I was thinking, "wow, I haven't gotten peed on yet..." That happened this morning. :( I opened the diaper and straight shot to my belly! ICK! Oh well, now I can't say that I haven't been peed on. Someone is fighting sleep, and I won't say who it is because she is sitting in her walker right next to me. LOL I'm on day 4 of my diet and haven't done bad at all. I had quinoa the other night for the first time. It wasn't bad at all. I made quinoa, chicken, and baked beans and it filled me up and was pretty good. Josh liked it. If you are going to make quinoa, make it in chicken broth not water. Words of wisdom by Papa. Thanks Papa!
    Heidi's (my sister) wedding shower is this weekend. I have lots to do and still have stuff to do for the wedding at the end of the month. I feel like a chicken with my head cut off and I'm not even the one getting married.
    Well, I better get this rowdy one to bed or just keep her in her walker until she passes out. If only it were that easy! I have lots to do today! Laundry, house work, wedding stuff..................................................oh and exercising somewhere in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, time to get off.

Homemade Baby Food!

    That's right! I made my own baby food! I will continue to do this unless we are on a trip and then buying baby food is more convenient. It was easy too! I don't know why more people don't do it. Lex is changing everyday and although part of me wants her to stay a baby I can't wait (and yet I can) to see who she will become! I started putting her in her walker in the kitchen so she can see me and possibly learn to cook along the way, although that is a very long ways off. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be a stay at home mom because there are people out there who can't afford it. To be honest we are kind of scraping by especially with all the medical bills but if I have to go without food (not that I have so far) to do the job I'm called to do, I will do it! My daughter is so beautiful and people will see her from the back and say, "Oh she's so cute." Then they see her face and say, "Oh wow! She's VERY beautiful!" I'm blessed. That's all there is to say! Have a great Sunday! I have a very busy week ahead of me!

The first picture is a great smile. The second picture is green beans. The third picture I can just hear her saying, "Mom, enough already. Everyone already knows how cute I am. Must you have that camera in my face all the time." :)
