Philly Car Show

Last weekend we went to the philly auto show. it was a fun adventure- we took the train down into the city...audreys first train ride. She was great all day...especially since she was getting very very sick. We saw all my future cars...i sat in a volkswagen convertible, a mercedes looking land rover, a range rover, a scion xb, a mini cooper, a smart car, a porsche, and a prius...oh and many many others...but those are the ones i really would want. I will need a very big garage thats for sure.

Audrey and Mom in the smart car


Audrey already has preference to the bugs :)














Saturday night and Sunday morning Audrey started to get very sick...she wouldnt eat, she felt warm, she wasnt her usual chipper self. BUTTTTT we took her out to an irish pub/resturant anyways to meet my friends and their new baby. We were there all of 10 minutes and audrey puked all over ryan and the floor. and it wasnt spit up- it was puke. it was awful. Ryan had just gotten his guiness when this happened too. so he had to chugg it and we left. hopefully their daughter didnt get sick. Audrey had a stomach bug, a cold, and an ear infection. I took her to the doctor monday and she is back on antibotics. Shes finally back to her old happy self again...here she is in her pooh nightgown

SURVIVOR RESULTS

Well I missed the first 15 minutes of the episode due to my DVR not being set up for the new season. The episode was pretty boring if i remember correctly...since i dont remember very much about it. but carolina got voted off...

audrey wants a different bottle

Audrey has been not eating her formula like she used to...at first i thought it was the additional food we are giving her- but now i think she wants dads bottle instead of her own. Here is the proof:

New hair

I got my hair highlighted again yesterday...i now have blonde and red streaks in my hair...i love it.

Cute Audrey Pictures

Audrey has been making this new face and I was trying to capture it this morning...i'm not sure if I completely got it, but I thought they were still cute.

You know you are living in 2009 when...

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

9. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

10. You start tilting your head sideways to smile.

new couch

we went shopping this weekend for a new couch. we gave becky back her futon and figured we should buy a new couch for the living room. we got a sofa bed. Here is a picture of it. we have since covered it with some sheets so that murphy and the poms wont get it all gross. we may rearrange the room, but for now it works.

I also had to order the last two books in the twilight series and needed to buy a few more dollars worth of books to get the free shipping. so i remembered there were kids books about "Emily Brown" that i HAD to get. its actually a pretty good book. ryan was making fun of me for getting it. but i think he is just jealous that no books are written about him.

loving the cold weather!

the ground has FINALLY frozen in PA. And i am loving it!! people at work are complaining and complaining...almost as much as those syracuse people are :) ha ha ha. I'm telling you you'd miss it if you didnt get it.

i've been very busy at work lately...havent had any time to blog...plus not too much is happening. I've upped my gym visits to 3x a week. I've been sore 5 of the last 9 days :( but its good i guess. this saturday i am starting weight watchers...again... they have commericials showing a new program. hopefully it can get me motivated again. I have to lose some weight before mexico.
















Audrey is growing like crazy...talking...scooting on the floor...sitting up on her own...drinking juice...found her tongue...her first word is officially da da da...then ba ba ba...i'm still trying her to get her M but nothing yet. she has started to push away from me too- i'm afriad her cuddling days are almost over. she wants to get down and see the dog hair :)

Audreys new lobster shoes

a while

wow i havent posted in a while... well i was on a New york state tour for the past 10 days...i'm finally home and i slept like a baby for 11 hours last night :) i brought my rain cd and cd player along with me, but it didnt seem to help my sleeping. i guess its your own bed that makes all the difference. i just finished unpacking all our christmas presents. i feel awful because christmas morning was such a blur to me know i cant remember who got me/audrey what. but i love everything! i cant believe all a 6 month old could possibly get. people from my work, ryans work, all the family, and friends got her stuff. she has way too much now :) luckily some of it is for when she is older though. she absolutly loved her curious george doll she got and is so cute everytime she sees it she grabs and like hugs him with a little squeal. she found her voice on the trip too. she usually would talk and sing and 'tell stories' only in the morning. now it seems all the time and she definately is saying words, like 'dadadadada' and 'bababababa' i dont think she knows what they mean but i think officially her first word is 'dada'. i'm still working on mama.
New years was fun...besides a debate i got into with bird on affirmative action it went smoothly...no puking...only a slight hangover, which is probably due to all the drinking i did last week- it built my tolerance back up. i think my news years resolution to be to cut down on the sauce.
today i unpacked and made a bunch of baby food for audrey, tomorrow i am going to tackle the christmas decorations. i'm glad we came back with a few days to spare. i needed it.

Sentiment of the day

Crazy hail storm

Last night when I got home I pulled into the driveway and saw 3 of the garage windows busted out. My immediate thought was we must have gotten some hail that broke the windows...strange it was only on one door- then I saw ryan in the garage- i jump out of the car in the pouring icey rain, and ask him what happened?!?!. And he proceeds to tell me he was backing up into the driveway...and hit the garage door!

here is a pic... just lovely...

Happy Half Birthday Audrey!

Today Audrey is 6 months old!!!

Survivor: Gabon Finale

Hope wins!!! Good thing you havent paid yet- i will just send you the winnings, minus yours! Every year I get mad at the finale...every year... sugar just blew it at the jury just like amanda did TWICE. its so annoying. She answered questions like "i dont even care if I am here...I'm not even saying give me the money." Bob almost lost his too, some of his answers i was like 'what?'- I think sugar should have told susie, matty, and bob to just vote her out in the last tribal council instead of making matty and bob do the fire challenge. Atleast Matty would have put up a fight at the jury. Oh i just dont get it. and to think, if susie had just answered yes to corrine she would have a million dollars right now.

Santa

tonight is the survivor finale!! I'll be updating tomorrow so if anyone doesnt watch it- don't check my blog.

Today we went to the mall to take Audrey to get her picture with santa. We showed up 30 minutes before santa was even there- hoping for the line to be short. There were ALOT of people already lined up. It took us about 45 minutes to get through. I thought audrey was going to be crabby by the time we got up there...but of course she was smiling so good for the camera! Here is her picture, even the people in front of us made comments like 'oh she knew exactly what to do when she saw the camera' i guess i am to blame for that :)

Survivor Update #11

That was a good one! I was pretty happy about this episode...not just for the fact that Matty is still in the game, but i do not like kenny AT ALL...he is soooo creepy and weird and all his scenes he looks so uncomfortable that he makes you uncomfortable...and then crystal- she just seemed kind of dumb. I will be glad to see what Kenny does when he gets back to camp. I also feel bad for crystal to have to go to ponderosa with the 4 members of the jury...that wont be fun for her. i cant believe this is almost over...which reminds me that noone has paid yet... well actually Becky, Cath and Mike have paid. And I think nicole owes me for 3 past seasons as well....so everyone needs to pay up by sunday!

cookies cookies cookies

so many cookies got so made this weekend...
I cant even believe how many cookies that so few people could possibly make... it was alot of fun though! my stomach hurt from laughing so much. we played trivial pursuit again but there was no real winner. we split the old people with the young people to give everyone a fair shot. we even added an all play to game hoping to speed it, but it didnt seem to work.













Now I get to rest until christmas...unlike the rest of the family that is going to moving into new houses for the next two weeks! good luck to you all!
