Forgotten Toaster

I have bangs. its weird. I think I’m liking it tho. we’ll see. I’m going to cut the back a bit shorter too I think. I think that will work out just nicely. I’ve been reminiscing with Leesh about camp. Its been fun looking at old old pictures and trying to remember why things were the way they were. I was missing my short hair again. I think thats why the sudden “lets cut my hair movement” has occurred. Maybe its just that I miss being impulsive. I think I’ve become dreadfully boring and predictable. Being a mom must have done this to me. It’s not that I wan black hair and punk clothes again, but I guess I’m just stuck in a predictable rut again. Ok maybe I just cant explain it.

Ok, who leaves toast in the toaster? I guess it was either forgotten or somehow offensive or something, but there it was just sitting there. popped up, cooked and everything. Also a weird happening for my day, thank you Morgan.

Emily has been being a whiner all day today. I think she’s growing and teething this week. She sleeps alot more and the whining doesn’t end. She’s still saying NO to everything. Either that or “cookie”. Who teaches her these things?? I have to know. Haha. She is currently quite frustrated with nothing and getting into trouble.Its soo much fun. Thats the signal for me to go spend more time with her.

Emily in Motion

Jalapeno+mouth=Burninate!

My evening was stupendous. I thought it was going to majorly suck, but no way jose. I started this morning by getting my blood taken. For the record…not prego. I am just feeling good so we are getting some base level blood work done so the next time I get sick we will have something to compare it too. I had to wait an hour in the waiting room. That did suck. I was doing a fasting blood sugar test and well. grrrr I was hungry. Then I had a music practice which went pretty good. Im back in the band which is fun, but I don’t really have a specific instrument to play, so I just play whatever is missing. That makes it harder to practice thats for sure.

Then Morgan went to work, but Kipp and Georgia came over for a few and we had a nice visit. After they went home Em had a nice meltdown complete with hitting kicking screaming and a glasses smash. owch. Then Georgia phoned a few minutes later to say I should come over for dinner. hooray. Something to do while Morgan is gone and Em is a BUTT. So then We went to let Emmy play with Flynney for the evening. They did so good together. Em kept saying “Finney” and making Flynn follow her around. it was cute. There may have been an incident involving Ems head getting stuck in a door and Flynn pushing it closed, but aside from trying to decapitate his little girlfriend the evening was a success. We made Mexican food. Cream cheese stuffed jalapeños. HOT HOT. soo good, but so hot. I was downing Soy milk to de-burnify my mouth.It was awesome. Georgia gave the kiddys each a revel for desert. Mega bad idea to give em chocolate on a stick thats melting. It was pretty much everywhere, but Em loves her Auntie Go Go. We watched Napoleon for a bit and then I had to bring Em home to beddy by.

Now I’m just relaxing and enjoying the silence. I have a book to read or a new T.V. series to watch so I’m gonna take er easy. gnight moon.(its supposed to turn blood red at 2 am tonight. trying to decide if I should get up.hmm)

The Rule of getting Wet.

Today we took our friends Nathan and Danielle to our quaint little restaurant Nanna’s and Poppa’s. I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch and Em wasn’t overly bad. This has become a crappy phase. The whole “NO NO NO NO NO” thing is getting old. Even if she wants something she says no. It like having to use reverse psychology constantly. Today she grabbed Morgans arm while he was turning on the ipod dock. She knows she isn’t supposed to touch it, so she grabbed his arm firmly and said “NO HANDS!”. Soo cute. We had her infant development lady come and watch her play this week. Its neat because you get to see where she is at for her age. Because she is a preemie they keep checking on her. This weeks conclusion:?? Emily is ahead in everything!! Yay! We were pretty sure she is ahead in her speech, but figured she’d be behind in her motor skills or something, but nope. The only thing is that with her being ahead we hit the 2 year old stage much faster I guess. The Lady warned me about that. Im sooo excited.

We decided to go for a walk around Sepa lake today and dragged our Nathan and Danielle with us. It was a gorgeous day. We walked around to the bridge and found it closed for repairs. They have redone all the 108 lake trail bridges. Soo nice. Anyways. We decided to keep on walking maybe to the beach or something. Halfway to the beach Emily decided she was walking and that was final. She walked a long ways. She even stopped to pick up some dried up bear poop much to her mommy’s “EW. Gross!!!” factor. At the beach we stopped for a swing. It was so nice so we kept talking and walking. Half way between the beach and my parents house Em did her business and so we took a detour to steal diapers from my parents house. By that point it was too far to go back the other way so we kept right on walking. I used to ride my bike around the lake all the time, but I haven’t for years so it was really nice to be out there again.

We have this funny thing that says “Pretty much any time Courtenay is near water she will get wet. It doesn’t even matter what time of year it is”. If you know me for very long you will find out that is true. I figured I was doing good by avoiding the lake and not even walking on the beach. WRONG. We got back to Sepa lake and as we were walking around it to where we parked we noticed it was getting really cloudy. Then it started to mist us. It felt nice because we had just done a 6 or 7K walk. But then is went rapidly from spitting at us to raining to pouring, to dumping and by the time we made it into the parking lot hailing! how crazy is that. It was a gorgeous day. I guess its my fault for not just tripping and falling in the lake. Sorry guys for getting you all wet. Haha.

No more Mr. Nice Story.

I am now overly angry. I wrote a nice story and had some pictures and it freaked out and erased it. AHHH!

Heres the recap cause Im not writing it again:

Em went mud bogging and we ended up staying at the lake an extra day

Congrats to Cara and Chad for finishing Cadet Camp

Shall I serve you a slice.

I am hereby printing a retraction of this article. I am sorry for any pain it may have caused. I apologize for stirring up controversy. Mostly I’d just like to eat a big piece of humbly pie. I have hereby decided against boycotting Facebook. Some further information has been brought to my attention. Plus I’ve decided to stop just being stubborn for the sake of being stubborn. As Morgan would say “In your family saying don’t be stubborn is like saying don’t breathe”. haha*sarcasm*. I shall now go sign up. For punishment I’m posting me and my loser sign. Bad Courtenay!
