productive weekend

this weekend becky and p-head came to visit...patty was wishing it was only a 10 minute visit- she was miserable- linus didn't leave her alone- she wouldnt let becky out of her sight this morning. she was so happy to be leaving :( I dont think she will be excited to hear that she will be coming back in a couple weeks for a whole week.

Saturday morning we went to a baby junk sale- becky got a nice pack-n-play and i got some clothes and a new changing table. here is the picture.
















then we went to IKEA and we were going just for becky so she could get a shelf. I showed her though the kitchen table i have dreamed of getting someday. after we were all done shopping we went to the scratch and dent part of IKEA and MY table was there. 45% off! so we got it! it had some scratches on the top though- so we had a sanding party when audrey went to bed. this was becky helping:

Happy St Patricks Day!

Survivor Update #5

I was surprised to see Spencer go, I liked him. Taj is not playing a very smart game I dont think- I dont know if she is cocky now that she has a "secret" alliance, but I dont trust Stephen AT ALL. and I dont think they are hiding their alliance well enough. even the asst coach has figured it out, and he is no sharp tool

Weekend

Losing one hour sucks...But I am liking the daylight much later into the evening. Yesterday it was 70 degrees here...almost shorts weather, but i definately was in a tshirt only outside and was hot. And to think monday was my snow day. crazy weather. Cath and I went to the best baby junk sale on saturday morning. We got almost everything on our list. Lots of adorable clothes for audrey for this summer and some for next summer. She got 4 new bathing suits...now we have to go to the beach/pool ALOT this summer to get some use out of them. the best one we got was a purple hello kitty one, with a sarong. that one is for next summer though. Got her some new toys and a backpack so we can go hiking with her, so now we wont have to leave her in the car....kidding of course....And we got her a sun bonnet and sunglasses...she is ready for some summer i think! It was a fun weekend! It was so nice not to have to go to the baby junk sale alone.

Then cath and I put together her wagon here is a picture of her in it.
















Audrey has been making her funny face again...i think i almost caught it here

Survivor Update #4

oooh Becky is gone already...and forever I should officially record...I'm sure someone will gladly fill her spot next time. i'm glad this time that one tribe didnt win immunity. luckily for Taj and Brendan, Sierra picked Taj- or their whole plan could have blown up. how do you not have time in 3 days to talk to a person? seems alittle unlikely- its not like they do anything.

SNOW DAY!!

Audrey had a snow day today!! So I ran into work to get my laptop and have been working from home today. I took a little break to take audrey out in the snow. Bundled her up in her sleeping bag and winter coat. needless to say she HATED it. she couldnt move she was so bundled up and she got very frustrated. then i sat her on the snow and she fell over onto her back. she got really mad. here is my munchkin in the snow :) you cant help but laugh at her.

Survivor Update #3

i'm so happy that erinn made it through...sad news for becky, i dont think you are going to win with sandy...i think the assistant coach is very scary looking.

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 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...
