My hair is GONE!



My hair has been driving me nuts lately because it was just so long and heavy and in the way so today I had it chopped off. This may be the most dramatic cut I have ever had and I love it! She cut 6 inches off and layered and thinned it. It feels and looks like someone elses hair to me- I have never had hair this thin!

Say Dada!!

This is Lacy playing with Mommy and Daddy after dinner tonight. We have been trying to get her to say Dada (which she does know how to say!) and this is what we got!

TWILIGHT!!




Twilight comes out tonight at midnight and I am so excited. The original plan was to go with my sister-in-law Stefany and leave Lacy home with Daddy and since he normally doesn't work on fridays, he could get up with her so that I could sleep in. Midnight is so LATE, I never stay up that late. Especially when I have to get up with Lacy. Well, Jason ended up having to work tomorrow so I almost thought about not going. Then Stefany call and convinced me so I am going! Auntie Karen is going to come over tomorrow and watch Lacy so that Mommy can sleep in! YEAH!! Can't wait!

Happy Brithday Aunt Sheryl...

Happy Birthday!! Hope you had a great day today! Can't wait for you to come and visit!



Hayden was over and so we decided they should both say Happy Birthday- this is the best we could do with two cute babies who won't sit still! Never mind that Lacy is half dressed with her bald little head (usually she has a bow :)

My new favorite quote...

"The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow. But children grow up as I've learned to my sorrow. So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep! I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep."

8 Months Old Today...

Our sweet angel is 8 months old today and I can't believe it! Every month I get really excited when it gets close to her "birthday" and this month it just kind of crept up on us. I woke up this morning and I thought it was the 13th! I was like, "OH NO Lacy, we forgot your 8 month birthday." After checking the calendar, I was relieved to find out that we had not in fact missed it. I always like to get her all dressed up and attempt to take "professional" pictures of her but man, I am not so good at it! I need a good picture program on my computer so that I can fix the ones I do take! :) Lacy has changed in so many ways and it seems like the changes just happen over night...
*She now sleeps in her crib in HER room and sleeps from around 8 or 9pm until between 5 and 8am.*
*She is crawling and has been for about two weeks! Walking is just around the corner.*
*She pulls herself up on EVERYTHING!*
*She falls and hits her head on EVERYTHING*
*Still a HUGE Momma's girl, in fact, its gotten way worse!*
*Loves to cuddle lately*
*Likes T.V.- ALREADY! She watches Baby Einstein, Seasame Steet and her guilty pleasure: THE WIGGLES! She is obsessed with them.*
*She is starting to eat #2 foods and even a little bit off of Mom and Dad's plates.*
*LOVE, LOVE, LOVES, bathtime! She splashes all the water out and plays with her rubber ducky.*
*Still only has two teeth but in the last couple of days, it seems like she is teethng pretty bad, maybe another one is coming in?*
*Still has Mommy and Daddy wrapped around her CUTE little finger.*

I'VE BEEN TAGGED!

* Link to the person who tagged you
* Post the rules on your blog
* Write six random things/unspectacular quirks about yourself
* Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them
* Let each person you have tagged know by leaving a comment on their blog
* Let the tagger know when your entry is posted

1) Now that Lacy is technically sleeping in her own crib in her OWN room, I get up several times a night to make sure she is still breathing.

2)We got into watching Lost when we first moved to New Mexico and I was huge and prego. We bought the 1st three seasons online and would sometimes spend ALL day and part of the night watching them so that we could be prepared for season four. We finished JUST in time and now we can't wait for season 5!

3) Jason and I are both VERY picky eaters- he doesn't eat ANY type of vegetable (except potatoes and COOKED carrots) and the only veggies I eat are green beans, corn and RAW carrots. We have no idea how we are going to get our kids to eat their veggies when we don't even buy them let alone eat them ourselves!

4) I love eating cottage cheese with just about everything- Jason hates it of course :)

5)We are both DVRaholic's. We rocord ALL of our shows so that we can watch them when there are no distractions and so we can fast forward through the commercials. Sometimes we will even wait to start watching a show 30 min. so that we are behind and can fast forward through the commercials.

6) I also love putting ranch dressing on just about anything- any kind of potatoe (mashed, baked, fried, whatever), steak, chicken, pork chops, anything! I guess you could call it my own personal ketchup and/or steak sauce!


I tag Karen, Jenny and whoever else wants to fill this out!
