Better late than never I guess...

I never got around to taking pictures of Valerie in the snow so I was very grateful for the last snow storm we got, it was just enough snow to get some fun pictures...

I love the little trail in the snow...so cute!

Valerie minding her own business...



...and all of a sudden....*WACK*...





...the horrified look of shock......and then the tears!!



And the best part of playing in the snow...the warm bath you get to take afterward!

I am not sure what this wacko is up to so don't even ask!!

I'm back!

My internet has been down and I have been going crazy!! I feel so cut off from the world! I am sorry if I didn't comment on any of your recent posts...I am trying to catch up. I also have a million things I want to post so we will see how soon I get around to doing it...I still need to catch up on e-mail, facebook, and online banking so I will get to it as soon as I can....life without the internet is a life that I just don't like living!!

Tagged...

I have been tagged with the quirk and random things about me tag again and since I have so many quirks I don't even think I will have to repeat any of the ones I listed before.


  1. I love sandwiches and hamburgers. Naturally the best part of the sandwich or hamburger is the middle (I am not a big fan of crust)! So when I eat them I always eat around the outside first and leave the middle part for last. It is sometimes a little messier that way, but I want the last bite to be the yummy middle, not the yucky crust!
  2. Which brings me to my next one and that is when I am eating a meal I always save the best food for the very last. The last bite I take has to be whichever food tastes best to me at the time.
  3. Like Juli and Jannda I am also always late! I always think "well we are all dressed and ready to go so we should actually be on time this time right?" then right before we walk out the door I remember that my baby is a baby and that she needs a bottle...and the diaper bag is out of diapers...and wipes...and I better pack a snack...oh and the camera just in case we end up needing it...opps I forgot my jacket...does Valerie have pajama's so we can get her ready for bed and she can sleep in the car on the way home...do I even have the diaper bag...do I even have Valerie!?! And so on and so on!
  4. I am scared to death to have another baby! My poor husband wanted to start trying a long time ago so our children can be close in age. I feel really bad for him because I don't know how long it will take me, but I don't feel even close to ready yet. Every time I look at other people's baby's pictures and I get a twinge of baby hungriness...is that a word...anyway then I remember how hard it was to have a newborn and how tired and exhausted I was and how much harder it must be with a toddler and a baby and I freak myself out and don't want to even think about having a baby any time soon!
  5. Which once again leads perfectly into the next one and that is that I require a LOT of sleep!!! I try to go to bed around 10:00 or 10:30. Brandon's alarm goes off at 5:30 and it takes me at least an hour to fall back asleep most days. Then Valerie wakes up at 7:00, I give her a bottle and we both go back to sleep. If she wakes up again before 9:00 I am totally grumpy!! She still wakes up in the middle of the night every once and a while and I think to myself "How am I suppose to do this 5 times a night again?? How did I handle it the first time??"
  6. Last but not least...I am a textaholic! I am one of those people who will send 15 text messages back and forth and take 20 minutes longer than it would have if I would just call the person. Brandon always makes fun of people that do that, but I have to admit that I am one of them!

Well thanks for reading my random quirky list I am not going to tag people because I think most everyone has done this one....if you haven't and you want to do it then go right ahead!


~Also I would like to thank all of you that commented on my last post. Thank you for your help! I am hoping to have Valerie's car seat bought by this weekend.
