One paragraph.

edit 2015...the tardis netbook died 2013ish....it served me well, but did not improve my blogging frequency.

So..this summer has been super busy...buying a house, trip to LA, working full time, etc. I'm so behind on uploading/sorting/etc. photos. I think I still have the pics from our vacation on the camera. Yeah...that was a month ago. Things are starting to slow down a bit; summer is coming to an end, we're settling into our house, and life is getting back to normal. The school year will be starting soon and I should have a little more time on my hands. I'll still be working every day, but not quite full time. I'll have a healthy gap between working the before/after school program. (Hey, I'm going to be a Site Director!) Anyway, I'm hoping to use this little gap to catch up on life and spend more time with my amazing little girl. I've missed her this summer. M-F I've only been able to spend about 4 hours a day with her. This usually includes dinner, bath, bedtime routine...and occasionally the tail end of the nap. I'd like to have more time to just hang out and admire her. Hopefully the school year schedule will allow me to do this. I turned 28 the other day. It was a very low key birthday. Daniel got me a pretty sweet present though. It's a cute little Acer Aspire One (sapphire) netbook. It'll be my downstairs surfing/blogging/skyping/cooking/etc. machine. Hooray for tiny mobility! No..that's not my hand.

The new house ;)

not really an update

I feel like I'm so behind on everything lately. We're in the process of possibly buying a house. I've spent so much time on the computer lately, but haven't really accomplished anything. Or so it seems. I enjoy reading other people's blogs and it gives me ideas of posts I'd like to make. Of course, I never get around to making those posts. I still need to upload lots of photos from the last month or so. I need to do....lots.

I need to go now. House duties call.

cloggedblog

...I wonder what happens to my blog posts from my phone. I've sent a couple...and they claim to go through, but then never appear. Are they lost in transit forever and ever? Are they sneaking off somewhere mysterious? Are they ever actually sending? Oh yea, I get confirmations, claiming they were sent/posted/blah blah blah...but they never actually post. Hmm. *shrug* Oh well.

Happy Easter!

...trying out the mobile blogging. You know, in case I really really need to blog on the go. :)

Spring Blizzard....

I think the blizzard has bypassed us. Though, the forecast says over the next 3 days we'll be getting a hefty 8 inches dumped on us. Hm. I guess I'll let you know if it happens or not. The weather has been quite pleasant lately. Highs in the upper 60s/low 70s and the lows in the 40s or 50s at night. The next few days are supposed to be fairly wintry. It could be interesting.

*shrug*

Just curious...

Has anyone actually kept their kiddo's baby book up to date? Does anyone complete their kid's book? I know my book, as well as my siblings' baby books are not finished. I think they all stopped after a few years. My sister has the most complete, then mine, and I think my poor brother has the least in his. I know it is because with 3 kids, life rarely gives you time to update the books. I only have 1 kid and I find it difficult to keep up. I was working on it earlier today and realized how far behind I am. I haven't gotten around to printing needed photos. There are many pages that I still need to fill in. I can't imagine being able to keep up with more than one book. It seems near impossible. Do normal mommas keep up with the books? Or do I have to be super scrapbooking momma with an insatiable love for having the books up to date at any given moment? While searching for baby books, I found the ones that go up to 18 years, and then the ones that are lifelong books that get passed to the kid, and they finish completing it with their kid's info and such. That's pretty freaking hardcore. I settled on a 5 year book. I just hope I can finish it....and finish my next kid's book as well.

That's all....just curious.

I'm on a roll....

edit: the ghost of myspace past ate the photos...nothing to see here. I left the descriptions so you'd know what you're missing.

Since I've found an easier, quicker way to upload the photos, I'm on a little spree today. Don't expect this every day. I have other things I need to cross off my ginormous "to do" list for March.

So, here are some photos from the last few months...


My silly little bathing baby..she loves bathtime

Playing at Auntie Erika's house
Sporting the "s'curl" at my parents' house
Christmas pic....lotsa coaxing and distracting to keep her from crying

Christmas Day....riding the pony from Aunt Amanda
Partying after midnight on New Year's

My little snow bunny....taken on a trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park

My flexible little girl...her legs look so long!
First spaghetti...she refused to have it in a bowl

Mmm...fingerpainting with pudding (vanilla pudding with red, blue, and yellow food coloring...she decided she liked eating it more than painting with it....very fun afternoon)
Gnawing on a stick at the park

My pretty little baby contemplating eating some more "nature" at the park

Modelling for me on Valentine's Day

"haaa-t" (super cute shirt eh? Thanks Aunt Jamie!)

Me and my baby girl being silly

I hope that's enough pics to hold you over for a bit. Sure, I have more...but they probably won't be uploaded for a while. I guess...stay tuned for another massive photo update in 3-4 months! :) I hope it doesn't take me that long. Really.
