For the Grandmas

I love to cuddle with my little silky from Great Grandma Keep. My mommy keeps my pacifier attached to it so I can keep track of my pacifier and I will have my silky when I am going to sleep.
I like my puppy from Grandma Peggy


I hate it when my mommy ties bows on my head

but I guess it's okay because I look so cute.

I am good for Daddy

I sleep good for daddy

I even stay a sleep when he puts me down

I like to mow the lawn with daddy

The loud noise and the wind put me to sleep, they didn't even bother to take me out of the carrier

Graduation

Last weekend I graduated with my Masters in Forensic Science from Nebraska Wesleyan University. For those of you that don't already know for 2 years I would drive 4.5 hours to Lincoln, NE for class every other weekend. It was a long drive but you get use to it. The only problem is I spent all that time and money and I am a stay at home mom and I may never use my degree. Oh well I had fun and at least my kids can pretend to have a cool mom that can do all the stuff they see on CSI (at least the stuff that can really be done, not everything on CSI is real).

Mommy Creations

Some of you may have noticed that there is a link on our side board to a new blog. The other night when I couldn't sleep I decided I was going to start a blog where I can post about the things I make whether it is quilting, scrapbooking, cooking, jewelry, or whatever other hobby I pick up. Feel free to check it out and get ideas. There is not much on it right now but I do have a bunch of links for different craft sites. On another note I learned how to make blog backgrounds. Let me know what you think. I think I like the one on my mommy creations blog better.

More car troubles

so as you may have seen Jared's car was totaled and we had to take it to the junk yard. Well now that we only have one car it has started to act up. In the last 2 months we have had to get our car jumped 6 times and the majority of those times Jared was not with me. Jared has taken it to get checked out twice and they say nothing is wrong with the battery or alternator, but apparently something is wrong and I am getting tired of asking strangers at the grocery store if they can jump me (my car).

Another long car ride

We went to lincoln again this weekend for my graduation (picture to come soon). Addilyn did pretty good on the ride there. She lasted until about Omaha, but screamed between Omaha and Lincoln and of course there is like 20 miles with no exit so we just had to let her scream because we didn't want to stop on the side of the free way and get her out for safety reasons. She did great during the graduation and was very good for daddy. On the way home we had to stop 4 times and there was a lot of crying. Before this trip Addi like the car as long as it was moving but now I don't think she likes it so much. Yesterday I had a doctors appointment and she cried all the way to the doctors, but was perfectly fine while we were at the doctors and then screamed the whole way home until she fell asleep. Today we went to the library and she did fine on the way to the library, but did not like the ride home. Rolling down the window calmed her cries for a few min, but not for long. I hope this is not trend and I haven't scared her for life or I won't be able to go anywhere. We usually drive to Michigan for thanksgiving which is a 8 hour drive so hopefully she starts to like the car and hopefully the airplane doesn't remind her of the car because we are flying to California in a month just Addi and me.

Five things about Addilyn

Addilyn was tagged by Brunson and so here are 5 things about Addi.

1. She is a pooper! I have never known someone to poop so much. She will poop while I am changing her poopy diaper. We always know when she is pooping because she always stops whatever she was doing (i.e. eating) gets all red in the face and the vein on the left side of her head pops out.

2. She sees angels, or at least that what we say. She will just stare into space not looking at anything that we can see and start smiling. She smiles at the angels more than she smiles at me. Yesterday she started to talk to them.

3. She is apparently a good sleeper for her age. She usually follows a schedule at night. She eats at 10 or 11 and then sleeps until 2 or 3 and is up for an hour and then sleeps until 6 in the morning.

4. She is a spitter. We have to keep her upright for at least 30 min after she eats and she still spits up. Sometimes she spits up out of her nose and that makes her really mad. Sometimes she chokes on her spit and scares mommy. She has stopped breathing twice since we have been home from the hospital.

5. She is the cutest baby ever! I couldn't have asked for a cuter baby. Her cuteness and sweetness comes in handy when mommy gets frustrated.
