big surprise...another weekend update
This weekend consisted of a bunch of nothing and a bunch of running around at the same time and somehow I got nothing done.
I woke up early Saturday morning to figure out our bills to see if we could afford to buy Daddy AC/DC tickets since they went on sale saturday at 10am. He was lucky and we could...he ended up with nice floor seats. We went online later to see that tickets in the same area were going online from other ticket sites for $500 to 1800 each. We paid $225 for two! lucky Billy, Daniels friend who is going with him, is paying us back for his ticket! He is soooo excited.
I managed to get a few hair clips made for my sale in October. I posted a few on our site. www.toadsandtutus.etsy.com
I FINALLY bought a curtain rod for Chey's room this weekend soooooo last night was her first time sleeping in her crib since it was finally dark enough in there. We managed to get 9hours out of her. What a good little girl and good sleeper.
Hit up costco this weekend too. Got a lot of stuff but managed to only spent $42! WOW good deals!
Also to update some people, my amazing aunt Linda was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She had surgery last week to have it removed. Last I heard she is doing good. She is still in my thoughts often. I am hoping for a quick recovery for her. We love you Linda!!!

little toes and wake up kisses
Anyone who has been around chev knows this kid will NOT give good bye kisses for anything, she always says come back kiss! Every night without fail she gives me a goodnight kiss...that was until last night. I was nursing Chey and Chev ran out and shook her finger at me and told me, "NO goodnight kiss, wake up kiss." I told her no that didnt work for me, she turned around and told me it again, I seriously almost cried i was laughing so hard. Where do kids come up with this stuff!?
Chey has fully discovered her toes, SHE LOVES her toes. I think if she could she would hold them ALL DAY LONG, first thing in the morning as I am trying to change her diaper she grabs her toes, in her car seat she is holding her toes, its so cute and makes me smile.
Update on some drama....the mail man lost my baby's ss card. So yesterday I had to venture to the ss office. what an adventure. But it turned out to be ok. the lady there was so nice and so helpful. And my girls behaved AMAZINGLY. not to mention I had to go to a different office, this one was new and nice and not busy at all, i had ONE person in front of me. WOW
as always life isn't good, its great!

it feels like its been weeks....
....since I last updated. Its been so busy over here.
On Wednesday Sept. 3rd I was invited to partake in a new moms discussion group at Banner Thunderbird. I figured it would be a good experience for myself and a chance to meet other moms nearby. I went and had a complete blast. It lasted two hours. I got to take Chey with me. We discussed things we liked and disliked about the hospital and ways they could improve their parents to be book they give out at your first prenatal appointment. There were 6 new moms there. All of us had babies born in May. I couldn't believe how much fun I had. And the plus side was....we got paid $50 to do it! Can't beat a good time and free money!
My best friend Natalie informed me earlier last week that she would be coming to visit in October. I cant wait. Its been 3 long years since she has been home. She is currently pregnant with her first baby...and we just found out its a girl!! YAY. I cant wait to see her.
Last night I sat listening to Chev talk...and it clicked...holy cow she is talking in full sentences now! when did that happen? Before her sentences were so choppy. Its so fun watching her develop!
I finally just finished a special order for painted letters for a kids room. It seriously took me over a week. I guess that is bound to happen when its 13 letters. and each letter needed at least 3 coats of paint! they turned out nice, very simple but nice! rumor has it the lady is gonna order more. but we will see. I am SLOWLY getting out ETSY account up and running, and I am in the process to create a myspace for our stuff as well.
Lately I have been finding myself sitting back and taking things in more often. I find myself watching Daddy play with his girls. I watch Chev play. I watch the way Chey takes in everything around her. I sat with Daddy and the girls in chev's room the other night and we all just layed in there and played and talked. It makes me see and realize no matter what is thrown our way, we have managed to get through it and stay strong. I have such an amazing famiy. How did I ever get so lucky? I think back to before I started dating my husband and I would have never expected me to be where I am today. I had a hard time seeing the good back then. I was surrounded by negative people who brought me down. I now have a hard time NOT being happy. ok ok ok enough of my babbling. I am gonna go wake up the husband and go grocery shopping!
ps i learned this week that a clean house makes an extra happy wife and mommy!!

Labor day weekend
Friday I went to the Glendale High School Marching Band garage sales. Thanks to the best mother in law out there I came home with some good finds. A new oil pressure cooker, a double boiler and some cookie sheets. YAY
Saturday little miss Chey discovered her laugh. SOOOO cute! it melts my heart much like her non stop talking does.
Chev ran around all weekend with a skeleton mask. She is to cute for her own good. I think she is ready for Halloween. I keep asking her what she wants to dress up as, every time she tells me Maddy (which is her cousin!)
Daddy had to work this weekend and went hunting with his dad. So I stayed home with the kids. I worked on some letters I am painting for a lady my mom works with. They are a very simple design but turning out very nice.
