Pathetic

So tonight on my way home from watching David at Comedy Sportz I stopped to visit my brother Tyler at Coldstone. Because I am family I get half off so I splurged and got the gotta share it size to take home and "share." Well getting 2 children, one in a car-seat and the other a very dazed/tired 2 year old, and a half melted ice cream in the house by myself was going to be tricky.
Side Note:I am one of those people that HATES taking multiple trips if I can just take one big one.
I came up with a plan, I strapped the diaper bag on my back, grabbed Maggie in her seat in one arm and then carried Daniel in the other (he wouldn't even consider walking.), the ice cream I was going to carry in the same hand I had Daniel but I had put it on the roof of the car and couldn't reach it. So the thought came to me, I could leave the ice cream on the roof and take the kids in then come back for it or I could just have Daniel grab it. He refused at first but when I showed him I couldn't reach it he agreed to grab it and carry it. Alas it slipped through his fingers and mine were unavailable to catch it and so it fell on the ground on its side. I put both children down to pick it up only to have the lid pop off and ALL of the ice cream spill out onto the driveway(remember it was half melted). I could have cried, or yelled our I don't know what else but guess what I did...I sat there trying to eat as much as I could with my hands and salvage the part that hadn't touched the ground by scooping it with the lid. At that very moment with ice cream running down my hands and face I thought to myself "you are so pathetic what would people think if they saw you right now."
So now it sits in the freezer whats left of it that is and I'm waiting for it to refreeze so I can actually enjoy eating some of it with a spoon and seeing how I already "shared" it I'm planning on eating most of it. I'll let you know how it goes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE!!!

It's this guys Birthday Today...(the big one)
I don't know what I would do without him. He has saved me so many times from going crazy! From the beginning he and Daniel have had a special relationship. When Daniel was first born he would walk from school to come to our house everyday and just hold Daniel while I'll showered our cleaned up the house. Daniel absolutely LOVES him. I don't know very many 15 year old boys that would spend as much time with their nephews and niece as Jacob does. I dread the day he goes off to college and on a mission, I love him and I'm so glad that he is my little brother or as Daniel just said "Jake's not little, he's big." He is amazing!!! Thank You Jacob and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Blessings...

David had the opportunity to bless Maggie on the 29th of August. All of our family including siblings were there to join in and a lot of our extended family members. The blessing given was beautiful and we had so much fun visiting with everyone afterward. Jourdan our cousin was kind enough to take pictures for us and they are perfect, she is so talented.I love how Daniel is resting his head on Davids knee. Maggie isn't so happy in this one though.Maggie having a moment and everyone making sure she's ok except my dad who is adjusting his tie and Daniel who knows Maggie is fine.It was a long day without a nap. Daniel was done before we started and Maggie was hungry.

Four Generations and we are all first Daughters.



My heart just melted...
The Brown Family
(Everyone notice supermodel Reagan on the front row perfectly posed, in all the pictures the wind is blowing her hair beautifully and not so beautifully blowing mine. Never standing behind her again)
The Wilson Family
I am so glad that we were able to celebrate this day with the people that are most important to us. These people are such a blessing in our lives and great examples to our family. We love everyone and appreciate their support on behalf of our little Maggie.
(see I told you Jourdan was talented)

Caught

David came home for lunch today and boy was I caught off gaurd I wish I had looked something like this
Sadly I looked a lot like this
Yep thats right I looked awful and didn't even realize it till he had left and I decided to get my lazy butt out of my pj's and shower. When I looked in the mirror I was shocked to say the least. I actually couldn't find a picture that looked as bad as I did. Maybe one day I'll have this kind of attitudebut for right now I sit in the only clean room in my entire house and dread the thought of tackling the mess. One day...

2 months old..

Miss Maggie is growing literally like a weed. The other day David carried her to the car and mentioned how heavy she was getting, she had her 2 month check up yesterday and weighed in at 12.7lbs and a lovely 24.5 inches long. That puts her in the 90th percentile for weight and the 100th for height, no longer a "little" baby.

Cries for help

A few days ago I was enjoying nap time with both kids asleep wasting time looking at other blogs. I heard Maggie cry in the other room but ignored her first cry thinking she'd just go back to bed. After a few more cries I decided she wasn't going back to sleep and went to check on her. I felt bad because this is how I found her...

And because I didn't come to her rescue and because I put that headband on her head in the first place, she left me this...
