Home Improvements

Wow, I am probably the worst blogger ever! It's been almost a year since I last made an entry! What a year it has been! We bought a house, I am pregnant with our second child and life has been cruising along pretty well! I can't believe all that has happened this last year.
Shawn has been very busy with work and will all the remodeling projects here at the house. I have helped with what I can in the remodeling, and am quite proud of my new found abilities! It is so nice to have such an understanding and loving husband who have really dove into all the projects!
Our second child is due March 30th. This time it is a boy!! Super excited for him to arrive, this pregnancy has been much harder than my first. Shawn is looking for a name, I promised he got to pick this time. Well, that is as long as it is something I like too! :)

Shaylee the bugs.....

It is becoming more and more apparent that my daughter is going to be a handful. She is a diva...seriously. But a stinkin' cute one. It seems like everyday, she is up to something new, saying something new, doing something new. And quick witted at that. Considering that she has great timing when it comes to saying "no", like the time that I was teasing Shawn, by saying, "you never listen to me, no one ever listens to me, do they?' And right then at the opportune moment she says "no," ever so smugly. She is so smart too, today we were getting ready to leave the house, I had a dentist appointment. Well, she was watching Wall-E, and saw me put my coat on and says to the TV bye bye Wall-E. Or the other day we were at Ryanne's house and she was carrying around a stuffed rabbit and calling it a "rabby". Also, she will let you know when she is done being somewhere, she will go to the door and start saying "bye bye, coat, shoes." And a few months back when my parents were visiting, Shawn came home for lunch, when he left she came into the kitchen and said, "Daddy go bye bye, car." It is seriously so much fun watching her grow and see how much she changes from day to day. The other day we were driving down the road and were stopped at a light by a McDonald's and she sees the "golden arches" and says "Fries?!". Oh what a fun little lady!

Shaylee's Diva DOG Costume

The following photos are of Shaylee in her DOG costume that I made out of two onesies and a pair of tights. Unfortunately many people did not get that she was supposed to be a dog. They said, "Oh what a cute cow!" But here are the questions that beg to be asked: 1. Have you ever seen a cow wearing a shirt? 2. Just how would one put a shirt on a cow? 3. Who walks a cow around on a leash? 4. Can you read, because here T-shirt says "Diva Dog" right on it.
But I guess at least everyone thought that she was cute and once they got that she was a dog thought that it was a cute costume. And in their defense it was dark outside.
Anyway here are the pics, I hope you think she is cute too, and you like her costume.

Sixth Picture...

Oh what a cruel world it is!! This is a picture of Shaylee the day we brought her home from the hospital. Apparently she was not happy with being passed around.

Every Princess Needs A Castle

So I got creative yesterday and decided to make two boxes into one castle for Shaylee. The main problem with this idea is...trying to take on such an ambitious task with a one year old is insane! Everything that I taped on she came right along behind me and ripped off laughing all the time. And here I am the "adult" saying "No sweetie mommy is trying to make you a beautiful playhouse." The whole time trying not to get angry, because lets face it, it was kind of funny and in the grand scheme of things would it really matter if the thing didn't get finished. All the while trying to run defense between her and the castle and still manage to complete my "awesome MASTERPIECE". So it turned out looking like a five year old did it, but hey I am still proud that I was able to get it finished and not pull my hair out, because my daughter wanted to demolish it before I had even finished constructing it.

Home Alone.....

So for the very first time since I had Shaylee, I am going to be spending a night all by myself. It feels so weird not having anyone here. I am totally lonely. So, what do I do, clean my car, clean my kitchen, wash my sheets....I think you can see where this is going. Instead of taking my time alone to just relax here I am busier than I am usually after a day that I worked too.
Isn't it so weird that first time after you have a child being away from them for a night? it seems like a piece of you is missing that without you aren't sure what to do for yourself. or maybe it is just me, I don't know.
Well, on the 23rd my baby girl will a year old, a year old, I can't believe that it has been that long, time flys the older you get it seems.
