More Stuff

I feel like my life has been boring as of late hence my lack of blogging. I live the same routine day after day, with a few fun filled days of Olive Garden in between.
Adalie keeps growing and growing and finds new things to get into or put in her mouth every day. She talks a lot more now, but no one believes me because she never talks in front of other people all that much. She knows what sounds a dog makes and what a cow says. She knows how to use our cell phones, pretty funny to see that she calls random people on our contact list. Her vocabulary consist of huh, momma, daddy, hi, night night, cacka (cracker), side (outside), shoesh (shoes), wow, uh-oh, ouch, coo (cool), paw (grandpa), prezal (pretzel), and lots more jibberish we haven't quite deciphered yet. It is fun.
She tries to run and climb on things and thus falls and has a nice little collection of bruises on her forehead. I am with those other mommies out there who hate meal times. She would live of mac and cheese if she could. She also hates using a sippy cup, another fun project we have been working on with her. It is funny to see much younger kids using them before she has, but being "out done" by others doesn't quite work on Adalie as a tactic to get her to do certain things yet...

Stuff

You know what commercial I hate...the Dixie paper plate commercial. You know, it has that lady running around the yard chasing her kid with a water hose and stops to look at the camera to say "I will no longer be defined by the amount of dishes I wash..." Seriously? Who does that anyway? If that where true, I think I would be in trouble...
Earlier this week I went and stayed the night with Jennifer and mom down in Ogden and it was so much fun! Jennifer's husband is out of town this week so we had ourselves a little girls night with movies, pizza, chocolate, and lots of shopping! It was so fun to just hang out with mom and she is loving her time with her grand babies. Poor dad feels like he is missing out, but he will be up here again by the 10th to get and get to spend a few more days with them before he and mom leave for home, so that's good news.
Oh, I started work yesterday and that was tonz of fun! (Did you catch that sarcasm?) haha. I thought I would be a little rusty and need some practice, but it quickly all came flooding back. Not much to remember really and nothing has changed much, just keep the customer from screaming at you. It is a nice feeling though to be working again for a little bit though. I really like working and it makes me feel like I am contributing to our finances instead of just spending them....It makes Brett feel better too haha

Heres Whatsa Happenin

I caught the bouquet! haha

Last night we went to my cousin Alicia's open house here in Utah. I felt so bad about not being able to make her wedding in Texas, but I am SO glad we got to at least see her here in Utah before she moves to California. She looked beautiful of course and Jeff was so handsome. Ahhh, I love the new married look people are trying these days lol

Brett is getting anzy about his tivo...it is supposed to get here tomorrow, but who knows. I am getting anzy to start work...I am supposed to start Wednesday. Adalie is anzy, well for someone to play with.

Today is Sunday and do you know what that means? I get to take a nap! woo hoo! I love sleep...

To Remind Us

I love it when Dad finds things to send to Adalie just to remind her tahat she is still half Texan...


Oh, and I hope you don't mind the background, its not too early to start decorating is it? Because I am about to pull out all my halloween stuff and start...

Good Times!

So mom and dad made it up to Utah a few days ago and it has been so great to see them. Dad drove mom up here to stay for a while since there is no power at home in Vidor. Dad got a plane ticket and left this morning since he has to be back at work tomorrow. He is supposed to come back up and pick mom up when Vidor is livable again with water and power, but who knows how long that will actually be...I have heard a lot of rumors about a lot of different times. But for now, it is nice to have mom close, I miss my family very, very much...
Not too much has been happening here around the house though. Brett is still trucking along in school and I am waiting to start work...next week hopefully. Did I tell you guys about our goal we set together? No fast food until New Years! For those of you who actually know Brett and I, you know how impossible that might be. Believe it or not though, we have made it almost a whole month! Woo hoo! Can I get an air five please? Surprisingly though, it hasn't been that bad, although the craving for a cheeseburger or a pizza still come around midnight. There's been more family dinners around the table, somewhat healthier dinner solutions, and I am improving on my cooking! haha Oh yeah, and money saved, always a good thing. Anywho, continue to wish us luck!

Paranoid

So, a few days ago someone broke into our car and stole my wallet. Although I did get some of it back. The thief actually dropped what was left of my wallet into the outpost mailbox at the post office right behind our house. Brett got a call from a very nice man telling him they found his wife's wallet. See, whoever took it left my drivers license and social security card (I know it shouldn't be in there BIG mistake on my part). They did however get a checkbook and a few cards I had in there (little did they know they were all expired and didn't work anyway haha) . Brett had our debit card and credit card in his wallet, so we got lucky again. Anywho, a call to our bank to cancel our check books and a call to the credit berou to protect my identy got us quickly covered and back to normal again... kind of.
This whole experience has made me quit paranoid. I always think I am hearing noises in my house, and have woken Brett up on many occasions to go and check it out. I put little bars in our sliding windows. The doors are ALWAYS locked, dead bolt and all. I wake up atleast 2 or 3 times during the night with nightmares, and that doesn't count the times I check on Adalie because I think someone is going to kidnap her.... I am really paranoid, and I know I don't really need to be. This is the first time something like this has happened to me though, so the effect it is having on me is interesting.
I hope the $5.00 that was in my wallet was worth it.

Fan

I just beamce a fan of Rock Band....

Some Good News

So far, all of the family seems to be okay in our area with no major damage. My sister and brother-in-law got a tree blown on their fence, but houses are still intact, cars are still in the driveway, roofs still where they should be, and no water damage. We were lucky and very blessed. I feel so bad for those that did get hit harder and saw more damage done. You're in our prayers, and I hope everyone will stay safe and get to go home soon. This hurricane season has been a doozey!! Better luck next year maybe?

Funny Pictures

So, I just think it is funny that the guitars are bigger than her....she is 13 mths. haha

And we have made a great discovery in our house...Adalie is attached to this blanket. You can't see it in the picture, but it has monkey's on it, hence its name purple monkey blanket

Trying to find the perfect look

Ya, I know I change my blog background like everyday now...sorry about that I just still haven't found a good one that really fits, but I am sure by now you know I like pink haha.
Oh, and we just had the best dinner ever! Grilled turkey and cheese sandwiches with pasta side jalapeno jack n cheddar noodles. HaHa Needless to say I didn't feel like cooking, so Brett settled for something nice and simple....I love it. Sometimes a mom just has to make mac n cheese, give her a break right? LoL

Still moving in...

We got the internet today...now just waiting on the cable, which is hopefully soon to follow. My husband is going crazy without it and I am pretty sure I am almost caught up on all the movies we own in the house...there is like a 150 of them, no lie.
Oh, and Adalie's fun new sleeping habit, me in the room laying next to her crib on the floor until she falls asleep. Hey at least she is staying in her own bed at night right? I envy all of you mothers that have good sleeping babies, I can't even let her cry herself to sleep because she throws up on herself if she cries to long..probably has learned to do it on purpose haha.

Home Sweet Home

So we are in! Woo hoo! It feels so good to finally be unpacked. Except for a few DI boxes hanging around, our house seem some what organized. We actually took the time to go through every box we own and threw out SO much stuff....stuff I had forgotten we even owned! I figured if we lived without it all summer, we probably didn't need it that much. It feels good to be in our own place through and to have a somewhat permanent home for a while.

Vegas was so much fun! It was great to get away for a while and just relax. We went to a few shows and of course walked the strip a few times. You know Vegas amazes me. It is home to the saddest, yet at the same time happiest people. That have to be making BANK at those casinos. It was so funny to see how fast people were loosing their money....there were slot machines everywhere and it didn't matter what time it was, there were tonz of people gambling. A lot of them were old people too. haha they loved the slots! All in all through, I don't think it was all it is hyped up to be....unless you have a lot of money to burn, it might not be your place. There are a lot of cool shows to see and the city does come alive at night...
