ANOTHER post...

I know, I know...I don't post forever, some of you probably forgot I existed then BOOM 3 in one day! I guess you're just lucky! I just have to tell you all that I seriously have the cutest daughter of all time! I know you think that I'm just being silly, but I'm not! I swear! Some of the cute things she has done lately include...

1. It was midsummer when I finally bought her some flip flops (they were on clearance for $1.75 so I caved). Not that I'm anti-flip flop, just anti new shoes when she already has too many! She was wearing them in the car when one fell to the floor and she said "Oh NO!!! My FLOP!!!" As a Mom, I think that's adorable. She is still consistently naming one Flip and one Flop. And don't you dare call them "shoes" they are "flip flops!"

2. When we were in Tri-Cities we went to the Mall after a big breakfast at ihop. I asked her if she wanted to go to the Mall? She got really excited...she thought I said "Ball" as in Cinderella...she wanted to go the Ball and dance with her Daddy. Imagine how disappointed she was when it was just a building of stores. She did get a balloon though.

3. She really truly believes she is a Princess. Her friend Claire believes that she is Belle, Lucy is not that precise in her beliefs. But one day she was ordering me around and I said "Lucy, you are not a princess, you need to get up and get blah, blah yourself" It was as though I had whipped her! She teared up "I am a princess Mommy!" She really needs siblings to order around instead of Nick & I!!

4. This is the part that makes me believe I seriously have the best daughter...last night we went for a walk and to fly Nick's RC plane and on way home she got upset that it was time to go home and had a little fit. We calmly told her that she would need to go to timeout when she got home (doesn't happen too often), she walked in the door and walked right up to the wall and put her nose to it! I asked if I should set the timer "yes please" Uhm?? Nick & I just stared at each other in disbelief!

I just hope she stays this cute forever!

I guess it's all about me this week...

REI is having their final mark down clearance here! You have to take a look! We have an REI card, because we are so outdoorsy!! (sarcasm!) We want to be, and we think about it, but well, maybe one day.

I did find these awesome shoes for $22.83. I love them! I was nervous to buy shoes online, but they fit good. Happy new shoes for me!! My other pair had a hole and they were seriously wearing out - makes me feel good, like I actually exercise or something!! Now, go look at REI!!

Finally...

We finally got some new bedding! We have been using my sisters old comforter and shams for the past year because we just couldn't find something we both loved that was in our price range. My girlfriend Bekie is very talented at sewing (even though she says she's not), and I've thought of asking her for help making some, but I couldn't even find fabric that I loved and would leave the fabric store determined to stick it out until I found something perfect.

My favorite bedding I found was at Pottery Barn,

the Serafina Floral Duvet, but I wanted a quilt instead of a duvet cover. Oh, and it was totally out of our budget once we bought all of the shams!! I told him that for my anniversary/birthday gift I just wanted new bedding. We looked together and found some options we both liked and then he surprised me - I love it!! It's dark brown and we have apple green & white stripe sheets so it looks really crisp and sharp in our room! Here is the stock picture of the bedding that he got me! I LOVE it!! Good job Babe!!!

Happy FOURTH Anniversary!

It was our fourth anniversary yesterday - I can't believe it! Here are just a couple pics of the magical day. I could post a ton, I have so many favorites from that day! Thank you to all of our family and friends who have supported us in our marriage! I do have to say that the day we got married was probably the most humbling experience I've ever had! I can't believe how many people came to show their love and support. Our wedding day was PERFECT - seriously! Nothing went wrong and we were surrounded by love the entire day!

These are two from our honeymoon...We went to Puerto Rico, it was incredible! It ended up being a pretty funny story! We had gotten airplane tickets as a gift from one of my dear friends. The thing is we had to go standby...no big deal right? Uhm...just a side note...if you ever fly standby - fly on Wednesdays, not on the weekends! Most of our honeymoon was spent in airports, even spending the night in one of them where I saw a big fat cockroach run just inches from me! We ended up sleeping in the food court area on a bench because all of the hotels in the area were booked. I think that was in Florida, oh, and our bags had continued on without us so we didn't have anything there! Oh man! I could go on and on about our honeymoon and the funny stories! I'm dying to go back again one day though - it truly was just amazing once we got there! I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to travel.

10 Days
6 different hotels
7 airplane rides
= 1 perfect honeymoon! It has been a great 4 years. Being married to Nick has been a joy,
and our little family is the best thing that could have ever happened to me!
Happy Anniversary Honey! I love you more then words!!

Family Pics

Last Sunday before church we snapped a couple pictures...I think they turned out pretty good considering Nick was taking a picture of all of us - Not bad Honey!!

I forgot to add text before I hit publish on the last post...duh!! This was about 10-20 min after Lucy said she did NOT want to take a nap. She was NOT tired. All she wanted to do was play...so I told her she had to play quietly in her room, when I checked back she was dead asleep. I thought it was so cute I had to take a picture.

I'm not ti...re...d
