A Day at the Park

Spring is finally here! I called up my sister, we grabbed our families and took the girls to the park today. They had a blast!

This past weekend was fun! Mostly because we got to spend alot of time with my sisters and the munchkin's cousins. I can NOT wait until my sister's work hours change (who knows when that will be), so that these two can spend more time together!


Amy works until 7:00 pm M-F, so it's hard to get together during the week with the early kiddo bedtimes, and the weekends are usually so busy for each of us. This weekend though, we got to see them Saturday at a birthday party and then Sunday they came over for dinner. Bonus!

The girls are so funny together. They follow each other around the house, play with things together, and dance. They pretend to feed each other food, and hand each other animals. They laugh and smile at each other. It's really the cutest damn thing.

Q playing with the kitchen set.

The Munchkin stirring up some food for dinner.

Checking out those fingers.

Riding on the Rody horse. We got them on this together for a minute.
It was pretty funny. This is also the first time I put the munchkin's hair in pigtails.
It's finally long enough to all stay in! Yay!

Peek-a-Boo!

I am so in love with this little girl!

I am waiting on my new camera lens to come in. The one I want is on backorder till who knows when. My current one is not so good with the low lighting. I am sure I could make them look better if I also knew how to adjust everything better. There's so much to learn and not alot of time right now to do that! I ordered a new book to help me, and I started reading it the other night. It's already helped me out. I can also edit them after the fact, but yeah, I don't have time for that shit either! I am still having alot of fun playing with it. Luckily my bloggy friend Brittany helped me out with some tips to get me started. No flash, everything in manual, and no turning professional within a year... Ha! I am following your rules girl ;)

A Photo Update of the Munchkin and A few Other pics for fun... Oh and a Video...

I haven't posted any pics in a long time, so I am throwing up a few from the last couple of months.

Crayons at the sitters house. I leave my camera in her diaper bag and sometimes I get surprise pics on it!

She loved her new Doggy book. One of her first words were "goggy".

She was obsessed with this shower scrubber...

The Munchkin with her grandpa...


Snuggling on the couch...


We got her this Rody horse for Christmas and she just finally started riding on it and enjoying it the other day. She can't quite get off of it on her own yet because his tail gets in her way, so she just rides on it for a while and then says "down" when she's ready to get off.



Today I am working on a gluten free, dairy free, sugar free cake.... I'll let you know how it goes!

A Missing Post?

I just realized that I had uploaded all of these pics back in December after Thanksgiving and after we bought the munchkin her new table for her christmas present. They are a little late, but I am going to to ahead and post them anyway :)

This was the old (atleast 10 yrs) pottery barn table that I found on Craig's list for the Munchkin's christmas present. It's the sturdiest table and so cute in her playroom.




I took these pics at Thanksgiving. The spread was amazing. It was the first time we ever tried to give the Munchkin mashed potatoes and she hated them! Joe says I ruined her with my caulitators (mashed cauliflower).



Here's my littlest sis Erin and her boyfriend.


My hubs passed out after dinner.


He wasn't the only one....


The girls playing in the ball pit.



Me and my sisters. I'm not sure what was up with the really awkward positioning here...
