Ideas.. Ideas!

So I just got an idea. Since I love to sew (but haven't for about five years now, but seriously, I do love it!) and I love making baby accessories. Why not start a little business of selling me stuff I make?!? It would bring in some money and totally be fun! We'll see though, my little family is going through a lot so who knows if that would even work if things come out badly on what we are going through.

hangin' in there.

Everyone here is going through a hard time, well Addyson, she's having a fun time making mom and dad happy. Today I was so depressed about whats happening with Josh that I really couldn't get off the couch. I just curled up in a blanket and laid there and cried the only time I got up was to help Addyson get out of her stick situations (What are moms for, right?). Oh, and I did do some laundry for Josh's seabag inspection tomorrow and I also unloaded the dishwasher. So I wasn't completely miserable. I seriously just want to die. I know it is not the end of the world (wise words from my mom) but to me it feels like it is for some reason. I'm sick to my stomach literally. I wish I could just poor out whats going on here on my blog, but I know that would be the wrong thing to do. It's amazing how much support you get from your "actual" friends. I've definitely learned who are truer than true. Believe me there are people I would like to spit on and say YOU DID ME A FAVOR! But, I can't. We're hanging in there. I thank my family & friends for all their prayers through this hard time.

Just what I wanted to happen, I have JURY DUTY back in IDAHO for 2 solid months. There is so much going on right now in my life, I CAN'T handle anymore.

Along with my daughter eating DOG POOP! Yup, she found Paco's poop before me and was spitting it out once I finally found her! YUCKY


PLEASE PRAY FOR US. I know god doesn't have a bad outcome for my husband. I just pray every single minute that he'll be safe<3

Family day at the Park

It wasn't really a day, we just walked up there and played a little and came back home, Addyson was freezing since her watered down apple juice spelt because her dad hit a bump on the sidewalk while pushing her in the stroller which made her juice fly up and land and get her all wet. LOVELY. But we had fun. Finally, A day when we're not the only parents at the park. Addyson enjoyed watching other kids play as she swung away. I can't wait for SUMMER, I'll settle for SPRING for now. Just no more SNOW!

MARCH - St. Patricks DAY!

I think we're ready for St. Patrick's Day this month. Addyson won't get pinched!

but she might get KISSED!

two things I've learned....

Don't trust people (meaning don't invite them to your family functions or just to hang out) because people are sketchy!

and NEVER eat banana's with Cheerios! It makes it all nAsTy!

Last of our 1st home together.

We're moving soon, so here's a few pictures of what our first home looked like before we have to box it all up. Josh and I met incredible people here in Oak Harbor, we also had a great place to start a family, have parties, such as Halloween carving party, movie nights, kinect parties. It's also where we adopted a dog from a shelter, where we experienced crazy drivers & police right outside our front windows. I personally, have met some amazing women, who I can consider best friends. Even though I was just a stay at home wife & soon a mommy, I haven't regret anything in my life so far, I've learned and soaked up any advise I received from people. Even though we have a few months until moving, I am slowly saying my good-byes to this Island, that to me is known as Home for the last 2 years. The one thing that really puts tears in my eyes is this will always be the place where I brought my new baby girl home, where we experienced so much with her. We got to see her cry, laugh, crawl, roll, you name it, this was the place it happened. Josh tells me this is our life and we have to get use to it, as many times as I complain about this Island, complain about forest city, this is my home. I never though a girl that lived on top of a mountain, who's lived in six feet of snow or more, and had one gas station as a grocery store in the entire town would one day wake up and look outside her window and see a body of salt water or would walk out her window and see a flock of seagulls every morning. We had our ups and we had our downs here but I'm glad we made it through everything and experienced so much as a family. (I'm tearing up now... ) I'll miss our first home together. Our first home where we brought our little girl home to meet Paco and Calvin, where we started our journey as being parents. I'm sure there is a lot to look forward to but this is almost as hard as leaving our hometown, because the people we've met and the things here became a part of us, and who we are. I'll probably come back to Oak Harbor and stock this old house. To the house that stands on Western Drive, you be good to the next family 1384!

- I am excited for the new place, I'm excited for new decor as well. Some of these thing will be missed! TATA!

Dr. Seuss' Birthday!

Yesterday was Dr. Seuss' Birthday. When I was in grade school we use to do so much fun things for it, mainly reading with the bigger kids or us reading to the littler kids & enjoying green eggs & ham. Having a child of my own I want to be involved I want to make it memorable. Since I found a 12month onesie that someone gave to me before Addyson was born and it had "The Cat in the Hat" on it I thought I'm going to make Addyson green eggs (minus the Ham, we didn't have any) and read Dr. Seuss' books to her (what we had) and others as well. She enjoyed them green eggs very well. She loved going crazy on my bed when I was trying to read to her but ended up getting some snap shots of her. When I took her to her room where all the books were she was off in her shoe box. She was just all over. I did get one story in. At least I tried. We had a fun day. Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss, Your books are still good :)

Addyson crawling upstairs.

If we go anywhere that isn't in her presents she heads for the upstairs and crawls all the way up to the top, she'll go straight for her room, or if she hears us in the bathroom she'll go for the bathroom. Sometimes this scares me because what if she falls backwards. I just know its going to happen if we keep letting her do that. Now we have to keep a super good eye on her. She's been drinking more and more out of a sippy cup. I'm glad that I've been working with her to get her use to it because at 12 months we're going to breezy right by bottle weining. Her dry skin is getting worse. We're going to have to go to Walgreens and get medicine. She just says Mom & BaBa. She has a terrible attitude. SPOILED ATTITUDE is what that is called. She walked the other day all by herself on her walking toy she got from her Grandma Rhonda. (Josh's Mom) She just goes along like she's such a big girl. I knew it was coming when she started pulling herself up about two months ago. I wonder when she'll be crawling??

Diet

I lost a lb. and that last few days, thats where I stay. Why is it so hard to lose weight, I keep expecting it to be gone just like that! We'll see. I need results!
