Dry Drowning

Blair sent me this video about a little kid who died from drowning hours after he went swimming. So scary. I think that all you parents need to watch this video. I hope that we are all a little more careful. I know I will be. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24982210

It is a little weird. And it is not in English. so if you want to see my blog post a comment with your email address. Thanks.

Random stuff

So I know I haven't blogged in a long time. I don't know what to blog about. I look at peoples blogs and I see that they do so much stuff during the week. Well my weeks consist of watching kids during the day and cleaning the house. So I guess I could post pictures of me cleaning my house. But I will try to keep a blog once a week. And I guess this is more for me as a journal then it is for you. But it is also for you.
Well we were told that our pool in our condo was going to be up and running for memorial weekend. We were disappointed when it wasn't. We then got told it will be up June 10th. Well it wasn't. We keep waiting because we are hot and we are paying HOA on this pool that is dirty and has scum in it. Well yesterday we found out that they said the pool is clean and it is ready to go. It is not ready to go. I wouldn't even let my dog (if we had one) swim in it. It is so dirty and sick. I have talked to Blair. He is going to call the HOA board and give them a talking to. I wouldn't want to be them. Hopefully it gets going soon. We would love to swim in it.
Yesterday for family night we decided that we would spend our family home evening going to Wal-mart and Home Depot. We needed to get some wasp killer. I have hit down so many wasps nets when we first moved in. One has come back. It is on our patio. It is sad because I don't dare to go out. So now I just need to get up the guts to go spray it at night.
Hannah is going to be a year old on the 22nd of July. I am so excited. It is amazing how much she has changed in the last month. she is acting so big. I am going to attempt to make Hannah a duck cake. That is right. A duck cake. She has a rubber duck that she puts the head in her mouth. It has been her favorite toy since she could put it in her mouth. So we will see how it turns out. This is what I am wanting it to look like.

Wish me luck. I am excited to try it.
On July 15th. We will find out if we will be having a baby boy or a baby girl. We are so excited. Blair and I really think it is a boy. We will see. We are wanting it to be a surprise for everyone when we have it. so we are debating on telling ANYONE what it is. What do you think?
Well I just wanted to let you know what was going on in our little house. Not much but at least I have a recent blog up.

Nice to have company

I was sitting home yesterday just bored watching the kids I watch and Hannah play. I get a text from my sister-in-law Nancy if she can come over and be bored with me. She came over and we had a blast. Well I wouldn't say blast but she is so fun to be with. She is the nicest person I know. She is always happy. and she loves to talk. I love her. She really is a amazing person. I know one day she will make some guy the luckiest guy in the world. She has so much to give. We love you Fancy Nancy. Thanks for being all that you can be.

No more

Tuesday night was a long night for me. Hannah just kept waking up screaming because she wanted a bottle. Well I knew she didn't need one. I went in to give her her Binky. She was so mad because it was not what she wanted. So she took it out of her mouth and chucked it across the room. I couldn't believe the attitude. So I turned on the light. This was at 2 in the morning. She was mad that I turned on the light. I gave her the Binky back and turned the light off again. She chucked it again and then started screaming a blood curdling scream. I had it. I shut the door and let her scream. The next morning the bottle was gone. I was not going to have a kid act like that for a bottle. She has not had a bottle sense Tuesday night. Wednesday was a hard night. She decided she was going to scream from 3-7 till she got a bottle. I was not giving in. She finally went to sleep and she has not asked for a bottle sense. Right before bed I give her a glass of milk and that is it. She goes to bed and she has slept through the night ever sense. It is a great thing. But I am proud of my self for getting rid of the bottle at 10 months. YEAH ME!!!

Fun at the Zoo

Saturday Blair, Hannah and I went to the Zoo with some friends of ours. They have a one year old girl. We had so much fun. Hannah loved all the animals. She really loved the bigger animals. They were easier to see. My favorite part of the Zoo were the Elephants. They were so cool. They built a new place for them. It was fun to watch the Elephants put on a show for us. My second best thing was the White Alligator. It was really cool to see. It just sat there and watched us. As we moved to the other side of the glass you could see it's eyes just following us. We also saw this really big turtle. That was amazing they can get that big. After we were all done we had to see how be compared to a gorilla. Blair is really close. Check out the tigers paw. It is so big. I was so amazed. For those who have not gone in a long time and have kids. I would recommend going. It is really neat. I have not been sense 9th grade. It was a lot of fun. It might not of been as much fun if Hannah wasn't with us. Sorry for the many pictures. But we had so much fun I had to show you most of everything.
Thank you Liz and Sterling for going with us. We had so much fun.

Finally a clean house

Ever sense we have came home from Aruba my house has been a mess. Hannah got sick right after we got home. She had a runny nose, diarrhea, a cough and a temperature of 103.5 degrees in one night. I took her to the doctor the next morning. The doctor told me she had a really bad ear infection. So she has been on medicine. It has taken her about a week to get over it. But now that she is finally able to play on her own and not be held all the time. I was able to clean today. I love a clean house. It feels so good. I am now OK with whoever comes over whenever. It is again presentable. Not much has happened lately. We had a blast on our trip. It was so good to get away and relax. We were by the pool most of the time. We did take one day and go snorkeling. That was good. The fish are not nearly as pretty as the fish in Hawaii. But it was still fun. I had to hold Blair or Nancy's hand the whole time because I am so scared of Sharks. But I am still alive so I am happy.

ARUBA

So we finally made it. After staying in Atlanta for two days because we missed our flight. We all finally made it to Aruba Saturday afternoon. It is so great here. It is so nice and warm. Hannah is not sure what to think. She has wanted noone but me because I think she is not sure where she is. and I am the safe one. She has been so tired. She has been sleeping so much. Last night she slept all night. It was great. It is here second night sleeping through the night sense we have been gone. I think we just might need to go out of town more often. But It is so pretty here. Here are some pictures of what it looks like.

I also have to tell you how cool but also very freaky this is. So everywhere you go there are igunas just laying around. They are not scared of people. They just lay and bask in the sun anywhere they want to. They would lay on the rock RIGHT next to the pool. All you had to do is stick your hand out and you would touch them. Here is also some pictures with Hannah swimming.

For ROBYN

So I was told I just don't blog enough. So I have told my Aunt that I am going to do a blog just for her. So Robyn this is for you.
Some of you might know my aunt Robyn and some of you might not. If you don't then I am really sorry. She is a great mother, wife, daughter, sister and Aunt. If I missed anything Sorry. She has helped me through so much. she is great. I love you Robyn.
OK Well I hope that was great :)
So now this is my real blog. I am so excited for this week. My little brother Garret comes home from his mission tomorrow. I am so excited to see him. I can't believe it has been two years. It has gone by so fast. He has missed out on so much sense he has been gone. I have gotten married and had a baby girl. I am pregnant again which Garret doesn't know yet. My brother Luke has had a boy and his wife is pregnant again. Garret also doesn't know about her either. I have had two cousins get married and one is having a baby soon. Which I am so excited. He has also had another cousin Dan who's wife has had a baby girl. WE have re-done our house. We have built on. garret doesn't know about that either. There are so many things that he will be seeing for the first time. I am the most excited for him to see the knew babies in the family. Garret is so great with kids. They will just love him to death. Shortly after Garret gets home. We are leaving for Aruba Thursday. I am so excited to be in the water and warmth. I can't wait to see how Hannah will love the ocean. I will have to blog SOOO many pictures.
If you don't see a blog for a while. It is because we wont be home till the 24th. And then on the 25th Garret will be having his homecoming. So I am sorry if it is about 2 weeks before I am back on this. Robyn I am sorry because I know how much you love to read them.
I have been so excited for the trip. I am passing by time by packing a little bit one day at a time. Today I am going shopping for things we need. Blair thinks I am crazy because I am so excited. He tells me to stop talking about it because it is making him excited and it feels like it will never get here. I will think of all of you while I am in the ocean and just relaxing. But look on the bright side. It will be almost 90 degrees on Saturday and Sunday. Yeah.
I will see you all when I get back.
YEAH FOR GREAT WEEKS

Silly Hannah

Hannah is so funny. I was unloading the dishwasher and I turned around to put some dishes away. When I turned back around I found Hannah sitting on the dishwasher. She is so funny. Hannah loves to climb on everything. If she doesn't fit. she finds a way.

These are some more pictures of Hannah just having fun. She also got a swimsuit. It is so cute. I had to get some pictures on. She will love to go swimming when we are in Aruba next week.

Another one

Yes we are PREGNANT. We found out two weeks ago. We were excited. Yes we are having another one with Luke and Megan. What can we say. God must want our kids to be friends. I will be due December 10. We wanted everyone to know. We are excited and can't wait to find out what our next precious baby will be.

Hannah is doing great

Hannah has been doing so great. She only wakes up once during the night. So thank you to everyone on the blog for giving me your advice.

I need help

I have been trying to get Hannah to sleep through the night. When she would wake up I would let her cry for 5 min. and then go in and tell her I love her, but it is time to sleep. I would lay her back down and she would cry. It would take about a hour then she would go to sleep. She would wake up 4 or 5 times during the night. I figured she was not ready. After 4 days I finally stopped. Last night I went in everytime she cried. She woke up every 30 min to a hour. all night long. I am so tired. I know she doesn't need me. What do I do? If anyone has any advice let me know.

nap time/sleeping with dad

I put Hannah down for a nap. It was going on 3 hours. I hated to wake her up. But we had to leave the house. I went in to wake her up and I found her on the other side of the crib, On top of her blankets, her hand hanging out of the railing and her legs crossed. It was so cute. I had to get pictures.



I put hannah in bed with Blair on morning. I went back in and thought it was so cute to see both of them sleeping. I had to get a picture.

Finally a warm day

After all the cold days we have had. we finally got a warm day. Blair had a day off so we went to the park. Hannah got to swing and go on the slide. She loved it. I can't wait for more days so we can go outside more often.

Crawling

Hannah can now crawl. It is so cute. She is getting so fast at it. She started to crawl backwards Feb 18. It was so cute. She couldn't figure out how to go forwards. She finally figured it out on Fed 28. She was 7 months and a few days. That same day she decided that if she can crawl she is going to pull her self up to standing. She is growing up so fast. It is so fun to see her grow up.

Valentines

For Valentines I wanted to do something great for Blair. We didn't have any money to go out anywhere. I knew I wanted to do something great at home. I got steak and shrimp but there was one problem. I didn't know how to cook Steak. So I had to tell him I was doing dinner for him. But I never told him that I was setting the table to look great. As he walked in the door the lights were out and the candles were lighting up the place. We had a great dinner. In the middle of dinner Hannah woke up and finished eating with us. Here are some pictures of the table.
Valentines morning I came into the family room to find that Blair got me a highchair for Hannah. It was getting hard to feed her on my lap. In the Highchair was a teddy bear for Hannah. Hannah loves it. Here are some pictures of her using it for the first time. She loves to eat. As you can tell it is everywhere. I love the highchair. I love my husband. Thank you honey.

I love bath time

Hannah loves bath time. Ever time we get her undressed to get in the tub. She starts kicking her legs and smiling. She gets so excite. Hannah has a rubber duck that she love. She will put the head of the duck in her mouth and it will never leave the whole time she is in the tub. I think she loves to chew on the head because she is teething. It has got to feel good. She is the cutest.
