naughty naughty naughty.

Tuesday 4:45. I have already vacuumed twice. Mom and I have painted, I have to be to a work meeting in an hour, Brent is on his way home, and Hadley...glued to the tv. Do I dare? I do. I shower quickly, leaving my bedroom door open so I can hear Hadley. At one point she comes into the bathroom and jibber jabbers, I tell her "Go watch your show" she says "ah wight" and I continue washing. When I get out, I think, "ok. something is not right" So dripping wet, with only my towel...Yes I really can be mad at this face!
This is GoldBond Body Powder. With Menthol.
This child will go places in life. She can do a lot in a short amount of time, and she is very meticulous. She even takes the time to sprinkle powder on every item left on the floor. Her apron...
The chair, and all of the floor under it...
All the junk I had pulled out of her "new bedroom" to paint in there...she even got the framed picture and all of the VHS videos...
She insists on posing. Just evidence in my opinion.
At this point its still a little funny, till I realize how it must feel in her eyes. I strip her down to her diaper. She automatically takes off her diaper. She then starts patting her bum and body with her GoldBond Menthol powder covered hands. This is the part I start to freak a little.
Between looking at the clock, wondering WHERE IS my husband, what is taking him so long, my towel is falling off, starting to vacuum and ITS NOT COMING UP...This is when I start to cry.
These pictures don't show the half of it. It is sprinkle all the way down my hall, on everything. And it doesn't clean up easily.
Dora is still on, and I shut the vacuum off to reposition my towel. Hadley walks up to me butt naked (as am I) and says "You dance me? Mamba?" Laugh. Cry. Curse. Brent walks in and I am saved. I dress and leave him with a mess to clean up. For the love. And I am having another lovely girl. Double trouble...Oh the drama. Would it have been this big of a deal to me if I had not been overtaken by hurry and hormones? Probably just as big of a deal, just without the tears. Just more cursing.
*~*
Its time again to wish this young man:A very happy Birthday. I have a soft spot in my heart for him and his sweetness. I have a big surprise for him...Not telling now. Lets just say it will be a late birthday present, a long time coming. Love you Bear.

And to show my latest crafties...I promise I am not just trying to sneak in more pictures of Hadley. She wont leave. She is pooping while she is smiling for the camera, mind you. Very photogenic. If I was to do this I would not take such a good picture. Anyway, this is my great-grandmothers old suitcase I made into Hadleys dress-ups case.
In between pictures she would run to look at herself on the camera, and run back to pose some more.
Oh, and I love the way the suitcase turned out.

i fun pookey

Sunday, 1pm. Snow. Sweats. Sleeping Baby. Quiet house. Ahh.

Hadley was "kidnapped" yesterday by her Uncle Adam and Aunt Jess. So I in return was surprised by my honey and taken up to Park City for the night, where we ate out, got too cold and went to bed early. Then complained that the bed was too hard, the room was too noisy, and neither of us could breath through our noses! Lets just say we are well out of our honeymoon stage, but a little r & r was nice and very needed! I had a silly brain fart when I was in the candy shop...I had walked around a little bit, and a man in there asked "what are you going to have?" I looked at him and said "a girl." He was very confused, and I...very embarrassed. He meant what to eat, and here I am with a big baggy hoodie on, probably not looking the slightest bit pregnant to him (except for the slobbering over the ice cream counter)assuming he is so excited by seeing a random pregnant lady that he must know now what the sex of the baby is. So with my red face I got a huckleberry ice cream cone and left. He didn't even work there!!

I one day would like to be kidnapped by Aunt Jess and Uncle Adam. New shoes, new friends, play land, Wheeler Farm, new coloring book, and...creepy Easter Bunny. Not only did they spoil her, she LOVED their dogs, especially the little boston terrier Pookey. That's all she would say when we came to get her was "I fun Pookey!" Poor dog. And she only had one melt down (pretty good for no nap) at McDonalds, but Adam was a pro and calmly took her outside, and when she came back in she said "i sorry" to everyone and ate her food.

So yes...ITS A GIRL! though most of you know by now. We are happy, excited, nervous and already saving for weddings. Hadley has no clue what is going on, I think she is still too young. She just knows I am working on her "new room." I will post picts of that when I actually accomplish something in there...

We just booked a 6 day trip to CA, doing Disney, seaworld, universal & zoo, and taking an extra guest! SO excited, and got the OK from my DR to ride some rides. We really could use a vacation, especially Brent. His new job has him so stressed all of the time, he needs to giggle and play and just enjoy himself.

And now...picture time. Mom took us all to Discovery at the Gateway.


It makes me feel good to see this picture. I did not take it, but I remember seeing him thinking "Man, he is a sweaty boy." Oh good, he was just being naughty, playing in the water!

~today~

My laziness is showing...
I feel as though I might be getting a little more energy (I say after my 2 hour afternoon nap!) But, overall I don't know if it's the time change, or advancing in my pregnancy, but I seem to be able to do normal things without being wiped out.
I am a little more emotional the last few days though, but besides ornery and crying, I have had a few moments of joy.
I am loving...
.just today finally feeling a little twitch, I'm assuming I feel a baby move!
.the baby calves in the pasture down the road
.sunshine FINALLY and a little warm weather
.the thought of finally spring cleaning. hmm...nesting maybe.
.giggling while watching Hadley line everything up in little rows, only to move it all somewhere else. in. little. rows.
.this little guy. Caleb Manuel Turman. My BFFs new baby. Though within two weeks he was back at the hospital w/RSV, poor guy and poor mom. But he is so sweet..finally accomplishing something with this blanket, for Caleb. I did two others, just the fabrics are swapped, but have only finished one more. 2 down 1 to go...
.a girls night. thanks to the boys for taking off without leaving car seats, we had a girls movie night and it was FUN. Hadley asks "You couch me?" when she wants you to sit with her on the couch, then makes you wiggle down so she can put her little arm around your neck and pat you. I love it..messes.(sometimes funny)I really am sick of cleaning this room, only to have it look like this within 2 hours. I mean, come on. maybe we can leave it like this till I move her to her big girl room (not started yet) and I can just throw half this stuff away. *notice* the naked bum...our other struggle. next she will pick up a random pair of pants off the floor or dirty clothes basket and put them on, probably inside out, no diaper, and insist on wearing them the rest of the day..And in 7.5 days finding out BOY or GIRL. I want a girl, but I want a boy. I think its a boy though, but it makes me sad not to have another girl. Oh, I don't know. I just hope its healthy and full of sass like its big sister!

Wonderful Chaos...

I am thankful for the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends. ~Nancie J. Carmody

The mess wasn't that bad, actually. The sugared up hyper baby on the other hand...Lets just say 2 days of parties, cousins, cake and ice cream did not lead to a very restful birthday night for this little one...
Waiting for the arrival of party guests. We went with a rainbow theme if you can't tell...Her easy, simple but cute cake...Her best effort at a "CHEESE" while her cartoons were so very distracting. Oh, and lets not forget the tutu. She has not taken it off but for bed and bath all week...Keeping her busy by decorating cupcakes. Well, see those two skittles on that cupcake? She ate more skittles and marshmallows than decorated...Showing off her new Dora potty seat. Practical gifts from mom and dad.Trying on her new clothes. Attempting to try them on, at least!As the party was winding down, we had her all dressed up in her new play clothes. She lays down on the floor, sighs loudly, and says "I tie-owed." Poor baby. Partied out.

What TWO means to Haddie:
*"Haddie do it"
*"Waisins pease mommy" (raisins)
*"Cha" (yeah)
*"Mommy ok?" "A Daddy going?" "Horsey ah better?" always concerned about everyone
*Dora, Diego, Wonder Pets...well pretty much anything Nick or Disney.
*Coloring
*Jumping
*Paigey
*2...3...5! or its 6...7...9...ready not I come!
*her new fishies. there are four of them, but they are still 2,3 & 5. no 4 or 1.
*singing "Happy to you!" and "5 monkey song"
*Red cowboy boots
*Trouble
*Loves
*anytime she bumps a body part, she kisses her own (finger, arm, knee) then proceeds to kiss whatever she bumped (table, floor, ball.)
*And her new thing, when she is doing something she is not supposed to, she not only barely hides, but keeps her eyes shut. I guess this way I can't see her being naughty, because she can't see me?
*I love this little girl more than anything in the world. She keeps me busy, but that is just what this lazy girl needs! A Haddie!

REVISED

So I mentioned I was taking pictures of Hadley today...and I LOVE THEM!! So I had to repost this:
And here are a few more...

.*.Amazing.*.

First I need to show off a little...Well, not me show off, but show off for my oober talented SIL Jocelynne. She made this wonderful quilt, and for some silly reason decided I was worthy enough to receive it (I promise I'm not!)She is such an amazing quilter, not a point off mark. Not just quilter, but scrapbooker, artist, photographer. I don't like to be around her much, I start to feel very amateur! (jk I love you, just try not to be so good!)

And now for some matters of business...
My mom has been working so hard to put together a party for my grandmas birthday. Here is the invite, saving on postage, I won't lie. Come and enjoy with us!
Also...(tears, sniffle, and timeouts!)
For my family and friends, this will be in your mail shortly...I hope. I am going to try and get some pictures of Hadley today to send also. I am so slow!
Sad thing is, I haven't even thought of what to get her!

Lazy Post

I did this *25 things* for my Facebook, and it took me so stinkin long, I can't justify a new, creative post. So I am just going to paste it here too. Though most of this is what I have posted about already, and really will bore you. And I am not going to tag anyone, so enjoy my ramblings!

1. Im not very good at these type of things!
2. I have had the same, or a reoccurring cold for over 4 weeks. My sinuses could use a break!
3. My dream house has a nice big studio, where I have room to color, paint, sew, hide, with maybe good lighting for some photography, also. And there will be glitter. Too much to ask?
4.I am so very nervous about a new baby. And a long hot pregnant summer. CHERRY HILL HERE I COME!
5.Too much talk today about new, sharp crayons. I might be headed to the store later to buy some. For me. New crayons, markers, colored pencils make me very happy. Hadley has been too naughty with crayons lately, so I might also have to buy some Magic Erasers!
6. I love decorating. I am trying to plan out my (almost) 2 year olds new room, but really it will be my dream room. Lots of bright colors, lots of little bins and organizers, and maybe a funky homemade mobile! I can't get away with rainbows anywhere else in the house!
7. I waste a lot of time on the computer.
8. I hate winter. All I can dream about is Spring. Mosquitoes, allergies, soppy wet grass, and sunlight past 5:30 is all sounding delicious to me!
9. I am only to 9 and already stumped. I don't think I am a very interesting person...Hm.
10.
11.
12.Um, I do hair?
13.My car currently has all 5 (or is it 6?) food groups either smashed, crunched or smeared everywhere in it. A transient could eat for a week off of what Hadley has disposed of in there. Embarrassing, huh?
14. I hate LOL. I never laugh out loud when I read that. Same with TTFN. Sorry, but I am grumpy today. Tried to warn you.
15.I'm trying to be a more positive person. Its really hard though, I like to complain.
16.I hate to be naked. As soon as I get out of the shower, clothes come on. I can't sleep naked either.
17. I usually can't start my day until I have touched base with my mom. What are you doing today...guess what Hadley is doing...I think that is why its 11 and I'm still in my pajamas. Haven't talked to my mom yet...
18. I am deathly afraid of mice, rats, rodents in general. Cats even bug me. And birds too.
Dogs are ok, as long as they don't jump or sniff my crotch, or get slobber on me.
19. I love camping. And getting sunburned. I know, cancer. But I don't tan, so it's the only way I get any color. And it clears up my complexion.
20.Big words intimidate me. Using them, spelling them, all of the above. I guess I am just not a very educated person. I talk like a hillbilly most of the time...
21.I share socks with my husband. I don't like womens socks, they fit too loose around my ankles. I like tight, crew mens socks.Thats all we share though, I wear my own underwear.
22.This has taken me entirely too long.
23. My ears just popped! Oh praise the heavens, its been 4 days! I'm scared to swallow now, I know they will clog again!
24. The last 2 have to be something good, right? Well, no pressure. I have an unhealthy obsession with vintage. Except for the smells, I cant do that. But I love avocado green, bold flower prints, and velvet orange curtains. MMM, love. And granny squares.And thrift clothes. Funky old ones, but they have to smell ok, no stainage.
25!I am starting to feel old. 28. I think its' time to retire my glitter eyeshadow and need for pink, funky hair dye. At my age, I start to look more like a sad stripper than a fun, young girl. But I need a little bit of fun still. Thats where the gaudy jewelry comes in...

The sad thing is Facebook doesn't have spellcheck and blogger does. Oh sad. I mispell a lot!
