Alright, so its been a while since I've posted... I think its a well known fact that I am NOT a blogger. oh well.. for those of you who dont know..... this is what's been happening for the past 3.5 months.
December was GREAT. Christmas was fantastic! I loved it, as I always do. Spencer and I spent the whole day together.... I also think this is the last picture we've taken together...and we didnt even take it! Breen did. (thanks again) I guess I'll have to get on that.. Im not very good at remembering that I have a camera in my purse. Anyway, Christmas was grand.
American Idol started... And I am STILL constantly reminded that If I were a boy... I'd be Adam Lambert. I even did the whole "doppledanger" thing, and dear old Adam was my result. Thank you world, I am so thrilled to be compared to this guy. And although I love his voice... looking at him is not one of my favorite time passing activities.
In preperation of Valentines Day.. Elisabeth and I made a heart cake one day for lunch. She was thrilled that I let her go to town with the sprinkles, but I knew that was the only way we'd get a red heart cake, was by her dumping the whole bottle on.
Ending result... she had a blast! And the cake wasnt too bad either.
hair boredom has succumbed to me once again. So while sitting in class one day, I turned to my dear friend Erin and said "cut all my hair off please." And so we did.
BEFORE:
DURING: (hey, lets throw some blonde in too!)
AFTER:
9 inches shorter and LOOOOVING it!
Can it please be spring now?
You guessed it, its WEDDING TIME!!! My dear cousin Andrew decided to marry his sweet love named Alicia, on February 12, 2010. How momentous was this occasion. Here are a few pictures of the wonderful event.
Mackley Bell.. never a dull moment.
Classic Grandpa
Audrey, Emily, Me, Mom.
Awaiting the arrival of the newlyweds.
Andrew was very excited.
My poor "Nathan Dude" had to have jaw distractor surgery because when he sleeps his tongue falls back into his throat and blocks his oxygen..which is causing his heart to fail.. = bad. This is the second time he has had this surgery, he had them when he was just a brand new baby too! I feel so bad for the poor little guy, but he's amazing and doing well. He is so happy all the time, and he hardly ever cries. As you can see.. He loves his trains!
So cute!
There is NEVER a dull moment with Nathan. Last week when I set Nathan in the tub, he looks down at the water and I hear this "clunk". What in the world, I look over and HOLY CRAP! There is half of his distractor laying in the bathtub water!
Now, you know that feeling when your heart drops into your stomach and you get lightheaded and feel like you're going to throw up?? Well, welcome to my life. I immediately looked up at Nathan, expecting to see this gushing of blood from his face... but nope. He just stared at that distractor and then looked up at me like "well, what the heck are you going to do about it!" All the while with this hole in the side of his face.
So I call Stephanie.
"Hey, um... Nathan's distractor came out... like out of his face. It just fell out, what do you want me to do??"
"Um... I'll be home in a second."
Well lucky us, we sat on the phone with the hospital for well over 20 minutes trying to get someone to talk to us and tell us what in the world we should do. So finally they decide that Nathan needs to come to the E.R.
I'd say so.... wouldnt you?
(hole in cheek)
this is the top of the distractor... those two screws/prongs/whatever you want to call them... they are supposed to be INSIDE his face.
So we put it in a zip-lock and let Nathan play with it.
I decided to take advantage of Nathan being gone, and set up a play date with our dear friend Talia (Spencer's niece) We went to the park and had a picnic, played on the swings and jungle gyms, and then the girls fed the ducks the crusts from their sandwiches. It was such a nice day! Beautiful weather, and plenty of room for the girls to run and scream and do whatever they wanted.
Ducks
Spencer also came and brought Georgia with...
Classic Spence.
Feeding Ducks
"Hey mom... this is what I was doing BEFORE I got my fingers chopped off.."
(just kidding)
We also found a Marley dog.
If you couldnt tell, I want it to be spring time again. Im ready for shorts, tank tops, flip flops and swim suits! Lets get rid of this cold, windy, rainy, wet snow junk, and bring in the SUNSHINE!!! I am excited to say that Spring Break is coming up and I have the WHOLE week off!! :)
And yes, I will be going somewhere warm!
Also, I was flipping through a magazine yesterday and I came across this Dasani add... with a piece of plant paper?? wtf? Well apparently if you soak this paper, cover it in soil, and then water it every day... it will grow wild flowers! HA! We'll see about that. (okay, so Im actually really excited about it... I'll post pictures if it really works!!) But for now, here are some Spring fotos to enjoy while we're waiting to be warm again...
Enjoy!
