Poop Explosion: Just your average Wednesday morning!

Oh, what a morning!! For some reason, I decided to put Myla in her new jumperoo (Craigslist score for $10!) before she had taken her morning poop. Let's just say I don't want to see another dirty diaper for weeks, heck months!! Besides the fact that the jumper turned into Myla's toilet, it was so cute to watch her jumping away this morning. We just got the jumperoo last night and she's just starting to learn what to do in it. Here's her last night in it for the first time and without a major poop explosion! 

 

And here's a video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151891276715219&l=5605834098650797053

 

And to my sweet little Myla - I applaud your sense of humor. You thought this was absolutely hilarious! You had me up all night and then you thank me with poop. I love you!

 

Toodles! 

Funny Dad Story #1

I decided I better write this one down so that I can remember it forever and share with Myla when she is older. I'm sure she will get quite the giggle out of it like I did. Last week, I asked Brian to give Myla a bath before I got home from work. Easy, right? Haha, not so fast! Apparently, Brian bathed Myla in shampoo and had no clue! Hilarious!! Then, later the same evening, he was changing her diaper and I reminded him to add some diaper rash cream. I walked by her room to see the funniest thing EVER! He had diaper cream allllllll over his hands, her butt, her legs, everywhere!! I said "what are you doing?!?" and he said "putting her diaper cream on, why?". Wow!!! He started laughing. She started laughing. And, well, what was I supposed to do but laugh?!? Poor kid! I sure wish I would have taken a picture. Oh well, I'm sure there will be more dad stories in the future!!

 

Toodles!!

Weekend Recap - October 4-6, 2013

First of all, I have to say that this was a FANTASTIC weekend!!! It all started off on Thursday evening when I got a new hair do. I've been wanting to do this haircut since I was pregnant, but haven't had the nerve. Well, I finally got it! It's A LOT shorter and is a super cute reddish color.

I had off on Friday, so I hung out with Myla ALLLLLL day and we played and relaxed! Much needed! My mom picked Myla up around 5 ish and I headed to town to meet up with Flip for dinner at Lonestar. (cheese fries and beer...mmmmmm!) We had a blast laughing, talking, and catching up. After dinner, we headed to Tootie's house and hung out on the deck til 12am!!! I haven't done that in FOREVER! So. Much. Fun. I love my girlfriends. (Missed you Becca!)

Saturday morning it was up and at 'em. We were off to pick up Nana and Nanny (Brian's grandmom and mom) and then headed to the pumpkin patch. We took our first trip to Snead's Farm. We loved the down home feel of the real farm instead of going to the more commercialized competitor. Myla loved strolling around looking at all the trees, sunflowers, and pumpkins. We picked our own sunflowers and pumpkins and even swung on a rope swing over a creek. It was a great way to start our family pumpkin patch tradition. Afterwards, we all went to dinner at Splitsville and I had my favorite, sushi. And, Myla REALLY wanted some dessert!

Sunday, Myla and I headed to my parents house for breakfast. We went to the park with PawPaw, MawMaw, Jayden, Stef, and James. We had an impromptu fall photo shoot in between playing on the slides and swings. After dinner, we watched some football and headed home for bed time. On a side note, how cute is my nephew, Jayden?!?! LOVE HIM!

Now, how are we going to top this next weekend?!
Hope everyone had a great weekend.
Toodles!!!

Fabulous Friday!

I absolutely love waking up on my day off to big smiles from Myla. I also love that I don't have anything that I have to do and I can just relax, rest, and play with her ALL day long and also stay in my pajamas!!! :) I'm feeling very blessed this morning to have these moments. Here's some joy for you all....




Toodles!

My baby brother is married!!!!

Well, it happened! My baby brother tied the knot this past weekend. I can't believe it!!! It definitely makes me feel old - hahaha! We had a blast celebrating with everyone and can't wait to visit Norfolk again to see the newlyweds! Here's how our trip went.....

Packing, packing, and more packing!!! Taking a baby on a weekend getaway is A LOT of work!!

Bottles, anyone?!?  

We left on Thursday evening and arrived at D.J. and Cayte's new house around 7:30pm. I was already exhausted from the packing and driving, so we pretty much hung out, waited for my parents and my sisters family to arrive, then passed out. Ok, fine, I passed out before they arrived.

Me and my baby girl
On Friday morning, we headed off to a bridesmaid brunch for the ladies while the guys went golfing. We chowed down on sooooooo many pastries that I wasn't sure my dress would fit on Saturday! After the brunch, we relaxed a bit at D.J.'s house then got ready to head to the church for the rehearsal. Then, it was time for the rehearsal dinner. The outside set-up was so cute and the food was DELICIOUS!!! Man, Cayte's family can cook! They served the best crab soup EVER!!!! After all this food, it was time to sleep....zzzzz!!!!

Relaxing together - friends already!

Practice hair run for the big day...LOL  

Next up, the BIG day!!! We woke up early on Saturday and started getting everything ready for the wedding. We needed to do our hair, make-up, and get Myla all ready. Wow, having a baby makes everything much more time consuming. We headed to Cayte's house around 10am to join all the bridesmaids. We took a limo to the church and it was time for DJ and Cayte to get married!!! Everything went perfectly and the ceremony was amazing! The reception followed and we danced our butts off!!!!

Fast forward to Sunday morning, and well let's just say I didn't feel very well. Myla was up at 3am and boy was I tired!!!! We headed to Cayte's house to have breakfast and watch them open some of their wedding gifts before we started our trip home.

Off to Norfolk!

I can NOT believe that I am heading to Norfolk today to watch my baby brother get married this weekend. It seems like just yesterday that we were playing school with him, dressing him up like a little girl, spending our summers eating lunch at the snack bar, driving him to swim practices, and going to his little league games. I am beyond proud of the man that he has become and I am so happy that he found the girl of his dreams! Welcome to the family, Cayte!

 

 

I'll be back next week to share pics and let you know if anyone ran....hahaha!!!

 

Toodles!

Happy Wednesday!

Here's a little cuteness for hummmmmpppp daayyyyy!!!
