Slides Are Fun

I think I only posted one video of our Lil Miss at the park and that was on the swing. So hopefully this will be a new one that everyone will enjoy. Isn't she just a doll? I can't believe she is 14 months today! She is growing so fast. I am trying to think if she is doing anything new the last few days...not really. Althought she was so sweet tonight and I almost was able to rock her to sleep which was nice mommy time.

Nothing else new today. Went to the dentist, got clean teeth. Everything looks good there. Did not get my Costco coupons yet and my coworker has. Thats kind of annoying.

Tomorrow is thursday, and only 2 more days till Daddy comes home. My throat hurts a tiny bit. Hopefully Auntie Crystal did not get mommy sick. Boo. Feel tired and I am just going to rest tonight and not work out.

Just going to watch both episodes of American Idol and maybe eat some ice cream. :)

Car Seat

Last night I was looking at car seats and I think that this is the one that I want to get. I am wondering though if we should go check it out in person at Babies R Us or if I should just order it off Amazon.

We have a gift card from there so it will definetly be nice to not have to pay for the whole car seat out of pocket. Part of me wants to buy it so I can get it here sooner and see it and use it. Even though its for Pooks I am still excited to "play" with it! Ha!

Its another Monday and Daddy headed off to Vegas in the truck today. He will be there all week and he will come home safe to us on Friday.

Do you all know what this weekend brings???? I am sure you guessed it already but DayLight Savings time is this weekend. Yes yes I know, we will be "springing forward" and losing an hour of our much desired sleep, but with that brings the...................................SUN!!!!!!

Wait???? Did Summer Girl mention the sun is going to be coming out earlier??? Naw she wouldn't be excited about that. Also it means the sun won't go down until later too! One of my favorite things about where I live is the late summer evenings. I love sitting outside in our backyard and BBQing and last summer was great with Gace crawling around. And now this summer is skipping towards me with glee as we get to turn our clocks forward and I look forward to see Grace run around our yard!

Pig tails

We bought some hair ties at Winco today. I was only able to double loop them in her hair and so they didn't stay, but I was able to get the idea. She is so cute with her little pig tails. Trying to get a side shot.

Look at those dimples.

Another side shot.

This is when she threw a temper tantrum when I didn't let her have the camera.

The temper tantrum was dying out when I was taking our picture. She sure does express herself now. I have to start researching which car seat we are going to get for the Lil Monkey. She is growing so fast and soon she won't fit in her infant seat! lol! KSov is going to Vegas tomorrow. He will have to do a service call first and then he will be driving out. He will be gone all week. Another week without daddy but hopefully this will be the last for a little while at least we need some daddy time!! We didn't really do anything special today just breakfast laundry and groceries. Oh and a lot of play time with the Punky Pie!

Ice Water is so Refreshing

Isn't this picture sooo adorable? I mean those eyes, those lips, those sweet baby hands..... She loves this cup. I pulled it out recently when I wanted to get back to drinking my water (I am drinking about 2 liters a day now) and she thinks she is so cool drinking out of a straw now.

Such concentration...and even more to try to pull the straw out!

Here are my tomato plants I did today. KSov got Brandywine and Big Boy's. I decided to plant my tomatos from seeds because starters cost so much. Hopefully these plants will grow good.

KSov is back in town he got home arount 7:30 last night. I was in the middle of putting Pooks down at that time because she was really cranky. I got KSov's dinner ready while he rocked his daughter to sleep. Such sweet daddy daughter time. Then I had to get up and go to work this morning and daddy took Pooks to the park with Grandma. They went to a park where there was snow and she LOVES snow. In fact it was so funny on Thursday night when I got home I got her out and let her walk down the driveway with me to get the mail. She saw the small (about 6 inches in diamater) snow pile that was on the front lawn and made a beeline for it! It was close to the edge so she was able to reach out and grab handfuls of it. Ahh, so delicous snow! She does not care that her hands are cold one little bit.

Have I mentioned how she loves to put her coat and shoes on and knows that when she puts these on she gets to go bye bye? So cute.

I will update more tomorrow. LOVE YOUS!!!

Blankie Love

I couldn't resist and bought Grace these cute springy pj's at Costco today. I had to go there for Cascade and these pj's were only 8.99. She was being so silly just bouncing around and grabbing her blankie over and over again like a puppy!

Daddy has an unexpected trip to Denver tomorrow. Hopefully everything will go smooth, he should be back on Friday evening.

Husband Intervention

I have to thank my dear husband for fixing my camera. I was extremely dissappointed that the camera was broken and I was unable to take new pics and videos. Tonight my sweet amazing talented husband was able to fix our camera with his existing tools! I love that! Now we don't have to buy something new! How great. Plus I am sure my many followers are thankful as well because what fun is a blog if there are no pictures to see? Especially a blog with a sweet darling babe like mine!

So here is the video of Grace swinging for the first time at the park. She loved it! Although I do have to apologize because it made me a bit dizzy to watch.

Lately she has been really good about giving us kisses. She loves to lean in with a big open mouth and then she goes, "MUAH!" She loves making that noise when she gives us kisses. Also she has learned to turn her wrist when she waves night night to daddy. It reminds me of a beauty queen without the elboe part! Just wrist wrist.

The toddler room is going good, so far naps are good. And she is such a good eater. We had aspargus for dinner tonight I swear that girl ate half the pot! Oh and have I mentioned she loves her blankies? Her great-grandmas had crocheted her a bunch of different size blankets and colors. She loves them, especially the softer gree, purple and yellow ones. In fact she has one at daycare and when I went to get her jacket out of her basket she saw her blanket and pointed and grunted for it! We were able to avoid a fit but she knows what she wants!

We have an apointment for her to get checked out by and Ear Nose and Throat dr on Thursday morning so we can get going with getting her tubes put in.

Daddy most likely has to go to Vegas next week for work. Another week out of town. Maybe he will get overtime this time.

Did I mention KSov's sister C is now officially living with us? She moved in this past weekend. So far so good!

Well I am getting a low bttery message and the laptop is acting up, so enjoy the video and Good Night!

Camera Catasrophy

I am so bummed. I have some sweet videos and pics I took from Saturday, but can't post them for awhile. Unfortunately our camera is broken. We took Grace to the park on Saturday and it was so much fun! It was a nice day although a bit windy, but despite that our Lil Miss had a blast! She loves being outside. She went down the slide and she swung in the swings and just had a ton of fun. However when I would reach down to grab her little hand to walk back to the truck our camer fell out of my pocket, and now its broken. It won't take pictures. What I am not sure about is whether this is bad or good. I took the camera to a shop today and they told me that it would cost the same amount to fix it as it would to buy a new camera that had more features and mega pixels.

Looking at camera's makes me want to get a cool camera that you can do more stuff with, but that is way out of our budget now, so we won't. I just have to find a "new" camera so I can get more Pookie pics and videos.

I don't remember if I posted this pic, but I took it with my cell phone for KSov when he was out of town.

Worked out tonight, did my half hour of running plus some. Now its late and time for bed. But I thought I would pop in and give you an update on why I have blogged anything for a few days.
