Pavlov's Dogs

Patty is laying on the floor in the office where I am at the computer.

A knock at the door.

Drew is barking at the door before Patty even gets up to bark.

Nice.

Thought I Better

Thought I better blog before things get too crazy around here...

In summary...

House hunting.
Sold our house.
In the process of buying our new home.
Bryan got shingles.
Blade on the blender broke off and make it's way through the smoothie and flew out the top of the blender. Crazy. Yes.
Drew has glasses and loves them. Hoping to start vision therapy soon.
Witnessed a car accident from pretty much the front row (luckily not too bad).
Maylee had her first skinned knee.
My birthday.
New PT.
Prepping for 3 year old photo shoot of the little Miss and Hailee.
Prepping outfits for family photo shoot.
Organizing painting plans for the new house.
Very little sleep.  (Drew wakes up at 5 just about every morning after which I put him on the couch and he sleeps a couple more hours. Maylee once woke me in the middle of the night to hand me a booger. Yuck. Crazy child.)
Dreading....packing.

Here goes nothing!

Somtimes...

Sometimes.....life of a mommy is less than glamorous, especially when my better half is out of town. I. am. tired.

Once his car leaves the driveway and I know he is not going to be home for days my patience level immediately drops and my "miss you" level is higher than it should be for him just leaving the house. There are lots of deep breaths and trying to psychologically overcome my single- mom-ness for the few days he is gone, but I can feel it and the kids can feel it.


(This was written weeks ago when Bry was out of town for a family funeral I believe. Apparently I was overwhelmed a bit.....we all survived and I appreciate my husband just a little bit more every time he goes away. I just love that man.)

Happy Birthday to Me!

29.

I feel so old. I think I look older the minute it struck midnight on the 7th. My last year in my 20s. Deep breath!

My poor husband had shingles still on my birthday and was not feeling very well.  Shell delivered donuts on my porch bright and early on my birthday and Bry and I were able to sneak away for dinner that night. On Sunday my sweet sisters took over and made a cake and we all celebrated together!

This year should be full of more fun and excitement with all the changes coming! New house, ward, and schools....and gulp, another kiddo in kindergarten. Here we go, ready or not!

From the Mouth of Ming

Maylee speaks very well. Her annunciation of words is amazing and she doesn't mispronounce words like hippopotamus like most 2 year old do...so when she says something cute I try to remember it. 

**Thank you big guy (talking to Carter)
**This giraffe is funky. 
**Where are the baby stars? (with the mommy and daddy stars in the sky) Oh! In outer space? (Yes Maylee...in outer space)
**Refers to things being bigger than the universe.
