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.

New news!

We all know I'm not one to blog every day so here I am catching you up on the past couple of weeks.
How about we start with the most recent and work our way back ..

  • So this morning/last night my love toy was so sweet to me, I fell asleep snuggling my book, he put a book mark in it for me and put it away! Then this morning he made me eggiess for breakfast & pealed me an orange because I get so frustrated with them. His greatness doesn't end there he did the dishes & made the bed!
  • We totally went down to the Point with Abbie Owens, her fetus, Melissa & Chris downs!!







  • I have been party planning like a crazy person for Ellie's first birthday
  • Game nights once every 2 weeks at our little place is such a riot! The last game night the Owens sisters ( Maddie & Abbie ) came over & we had a blasty blast like none other! We forced Maddie to sing & play her guitar and that girl has such a beautiful voice!
  • I took a weeks long vacation from cleaning & instead spent it napping . I have no idea why I have been in some kind of lethargic funky monkey mood that is totally killing my mojo. I feel like I'm missing out on so much, but I'm so tired. I think it could quite possibly be linked to the fact I have only 7 weeks left with my family until I leave for ft.lost in the woods Missouri & this just flat out depresses me.

Ellie has been up to a whole bunch of things like ....
  • The most epic fits I have ever seen an 11 mo & 22 day old baby ever throw.
  • When she throws a fit she slams her face on the ground which results in some gnarly bruises ... 
  • She pooped a blood vessel on her face when she fell and hit her head on the corner of the bed. 
  • Ellie is like Smeagol who is now corrupt and became the baby Gollum. She takes Alex's wedding ring and walks around with it every where! If you dare to take it from her ... she literally snarls at you, screams, makes grumpy faces... it doesn't end there if she drops it she frantically searches for it.... occasionally she will hold it close to her heart and I am almost positive she is thinking " My precious". 
  • Her baby fits are only tamed by nap time or a time out suited for a baby Gollum. ... if she throws a  tantrum approximately at 10:00 am it results in a nap time .... after that I'm on my own & the only tricks I have up my sleeves are .. tell her no & to act like a lady.
  • She loves to get into the trash ... so grody
  • She eats my books & rips pages out of my vintage Dr. Seuss books.... is she possessed? I'm starting to believe so. Does it scare me? entirely .
  • Little Ellie is a good baby don't get me wrong, this is just a side of her I have never seen before. She still snuggles & smiles & laughs & does all those cute baby things she used to... I think she is just busy discovering the world around her ... One "NO" at a time. 
Now to end with a couple cute pictures of Ellie...

 These looks an be deceiving, she has plenty of screams and tantrums up those sleeves!

Till next time!
