Children's Chorus!!


I had my first children's chorus show today!! The kids did a great job, and it was fun to watch them perform. I had one girl in the front row actually sit down in the middle of a song because she was tired. Ha ha. The joys of 5 year olds. Good thing the parents don't care if the group sucks as long as they're cute!

Up to my elbows...

So yesterday I had a true mom moment. I was driving, Taylen was talking, all of a sudden she was throwing up ALL OVER. She started crying, I'm trying to not crash, she throws up more chunky goodness, screams louder...I'm at a red light surrounded by a ton of cars. I can't move or pull over. She throws up some more, it's down her shirt, in her shoes, all over the carseat....throwing up again (yes, again)...I'm finally driving and able to pull over into a parking lot. I carefully remove her from the car and have to take off her clothes without smearing barf all over her face and hair (which I fail miserably at doing, by the way). Then I have a naked, crying baby standing in the parking lot while I'm trying to shake out all the throw up from the carseat and put a plastic shopping bag over it so she doesn't have to sit in puke the rest of the way home. It was lovely. Oh, and don't forget the very observant girl who pulls over (I think she's going to help me) but instead she asks me for directions to the nearest Wendy's. I'm thinking, "I'm up to my elbows in throw up, lady, does it look like I care if you're lost?!?" Apparently reading facial expressions and body language is not a strong point of hers. Anyway, I finally got Taylen semi-clean and we made it home without further incidence. These are the mom moments i could really live without...

First Hair Cut


I got Taylen's hair cut! Oh my gosh I'm traumatized... I almost cried when I left the hair place. It is a really cute A-line cut, but it's not my long sweet Taylen hair. She doesn't look like my baby anymore, and the bangs are WAY too short. Oh well...it'll grow, right? I like it, I just wish it was a little longer. Let me know what you think, ok? I need some positive feedback :)


Walk to the Lake

So my parents came to visit a couple weekends ago. We took a wagon ride to the lake and threw rocks in the water. Yay for Grandma and Grandpa!

I love rain

So today it's been POURING rain. And I've liked it. It's been a dry winter until now. I also finally went to the gym again. I haven't been allowed to go because of some pregnancy complictions, but I just got the green light from my doctor so today was my first official day back. After the gym I ran to walgreens to get some object lessons for sharing time tomorrow (I got called to primary). I ran in and ran out and the rain was pounding me. I got home, hung out with Brad and Tay, put Tay to bed, then decided to look for my phone. Can't find it. Looked and looked. Getting irritated. Called Walgreens. Not there. Right before I hung up the cashier girl said, "hold on..." Apparently a customer found a phone in the parking lot that had been sitting in the rain for a few hours and just got ran over. And it happens to be mine. Joy. Must have fallen out of my pocket when I was running for the car. NOW I DON'T HAVE A PHONE AND I'M REALLY ANNOYED. Of course my phone falls out of my pocket the one day of the year it's actually raining. Grrrrr. That's all I have to say.

Name suggestions, anyone?

Hey guys. So the hunt is on for another cute girl name. Brad and I have a couple we are sort of going back and forth with, but nothing we love. Any ideas? I'm sure you won't tell me the names you really like because you want to save them for your own kids, but that's okay. Give me your runner up names :) I am liking names that end with 'a' or 'n'. Let the creative juices flow while I drink up. Ha ha. You know what I mean.

Another Girl!!


Yay for girls!! Baby #2 is a SHE! We are very excited...
Two little girls will be so much fun (remind me of that when they're teenagers :). She was moving all over the place during the ultrasound, and the technician was having a hard time getting a good picture because she kept flipping all around. It looks like we'll be having another busy one. Wish us luck...

Feed Me

OH MY GOSH I AM ALWAYS HUNGRY!!
I just ate dinner (pasta and broccoli) 2 hours ago and I'm starving again. I have been waking up in the middle of the night because I'm so hungry! This baby must be going through a growth spurt, because all of a sudden all I want to do is eat and sleep and then eat some more. Don't be surprised if I have gained 100 pounds by the time I post another picture of myself. Ha ha. Sadly I'm not joking.
