Gosh what have we been up to???
The 5th anniversary of THE DAY has come and gone; I was extremely busy that day and into the weekend so I didn't take much time to focus on it. That could be a good thing.
Valentine's day we had a date and I wanted to get a new sink for our half bath downstairs (romantic, I know)... its a long story, but the short of it is that a previous owner 'fixed' a leak in the sink with DUCT TAPE!!!! I took pix of the old stuff and will post pix of the new once the mirror is cut down to fit. The new sink/countertop has a backsplash and the previous sink and countertop did not, thus making the mirror no longer fit under the light fixture. Plus I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new faucet! So way totally cool! :)
The other night, the 3 of us were in the family room hanging out, the girl has privledges that allow her to wander into the sunroom seeing as how that is gradually turning more into her playroom than 'the dogs room'. She has a tv/vcr/dvd player, a cd player w/a radio, a ballpit, and our newest accquisition... a train table and some tracks and trains (I LOVE CRAIGSLIST!) right now I think her mom and dad enjoy it more than she does, but I'm sure she'll grow into it. ;) ANYWAY... she was quiet and it was the kind of quiet that you go check out... so I got up and saw her in the hallway by the bathroom door, with her diaper on the floor next to her!!!! So we played the oh you wanna use the potty? game for a bit then we went to the store and bought her a seat of her own! I am sooooo not ready for this and she isn't really, but I wasn't about to discourage her in any way shape or form that's for sure!
C and I just had our 12 year wedding anniversary. For the record, I got married when I was 12. ;) The girl spent the night w/ some very good friends and C and I got to have a 27 hour date. We really enjoyed just hanging out and relaxing together. We got a couples massage and that was awesome! I see more of those in our future! ;)

Well, I'm pooped and I've got a few more loads of laundry to get done before I crash for the night...

~til next time!

I totally predicted this!

an update on The Girl

Right now, The Girl can sign: more, please, finished, cracker, cookie, daddy, mommy, giraffe, book and cheese. Her first sign was 'more' at 8 months old. She shakes her head for no and nods for yes. The words that she actually speaks is mom, dad, 'ydney' wow, thank you, and 'Jogee' that is for our little dog, Josie, but she won't say Duke for the other dog. She also pats her leg when she calls 'Jogee', like she's calling her in or something. She knows a TON of animal sounds too... (I'll list them for you b/c some of them are funny.)
Dog: woof
Cat: meow
snake: sssssss
cow: moo
turtle: duuuude
sheep: hahahahaha (she laughs at it, I guess she thought we were laughing when we were doing it.)
fish: glub glub glub
Beatle: yeah yeah yeah (soooo fun!:D)
lion: roar
gorilla: ahhhhh (and she pounds her chest while doing it)
hippo: doesn't make a sound but she wiggles her hands on the top of her head like hippo ears
monkey: ooo ooo and one arm tucks up under her armpit
duck: quack quack
chicken: cluck cluck
bird: tweet tweet
crocodile: chomp and she claps her arms out in front of her
Ok, that's all I can think of right now...

~Til next time!

She is such a goofball!!!

Her new thing; playing IN her toybox.






"Helping" Daddy install a new light fixture in the bathroom.



Just displaying her general 'goofiness'! We LOVE it! :)




~Til next time...

Hungry???

How cool is this???!!!





I made this today for a planning meeting I have tonight. My aunt gave me a book all about decorating cupcakes and this looked easy enough to actually try! It was WAY easy and totally fun! And I promise this will not become a blog about food all the time! :)
