If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.

Lets play catch up!



It’s time to play catch up with the mays!
Well what have we been up to these past few months? Well it goes kind of like this… we were busy …
-       Giving thanks
-       Celebrating the birth of baby Jesus
-       Having birthdays
-       Starting a new semester of school
-       Getting my license back (I know its been over a year its about time, and it was NOT a voluntary thing I didn’t want to drive but Alex is forcing me)
-       I took up sewing and have some stuffed animal tutorials coming your way!
-       Working on Alex becoming a vegetarian, so far I was able to successfully rid him of red meat. He eats chicken twice a week and fish twice a week and veggies the remaining days of the week.
-       We eat strictly organic & whole grains and gluten free!
-       Taking Yoga and Pilates 4 times a week , spin 3 times a week and I feel absolutely amazing!
Alex has …
-       Self taught himself how to fix , degut and put pack together his xbox
-       Is going to two schools full time and working full time, and managing a 4.0 GPA!!! How does he do it!?
-       He finally figured out where dirty diapers go… the trash... not the floor (big improvement !)
Baby Ellie is…
-       Army crawling
-       Growling
-       Spitting
-       Loves to eat puréed MANGOS!
-       She loves to sing (more like scream)
-       She sits!
-       She loves to eat socks (unfortunately this scares me since one morning I found her with a sock in mouth, so no more socks Ellie ) She also eats toilet paper, my homework, controllers, phone chargers; basically anything and everything babies are NOT supposed to eat.
-       She takes off her diapers and rolls around naked. Cutest thing ever!
-       She knows sign language! She knows 2 signs at 6 months! (bottle & food )
She is getting bigger and bigger each and every day. She is becoming a beautiful little girl with such a sassy personality and she lights up my life. She is a daddy’s girl by far, as soon as Alex walks into a room sayonara momma ! She is such a blessing to our life, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect little girl!
I know what your thinking “ where are all those amazing may photos and videos that were promised!?” well, we finally got a video camera and shot LOADS of hilarious videos & shot just as many Kodak photos. The thing is we decided to load them on my not so reliable computer ( not smart ) which decided to be not so reliable and stop working. So now once again im trying to convince Alex to help load software on to the Mac book ( since I am technologically handicap )  so I can up load those lovely wonders to our blog which has indeed been neglected.

Here is a teaser picture of Ellie! she cried so hard for Alex to hold her that she "snotted"it was the ickiest yet one of the funniest things she has done. Once Alex held her it was all smiles and giggles from there !
