Library lady

With my odd new found time before bed each night I'm able to read more books, which is so refreshing. I have also discovered ordering books online to pick up at the library. I know I'm late to the game but I now have at least 4 things coming a week from the library. 1 book for me and a couple of books or DVD's for Isabelle. After doing this for a couple weeks I now have a designated canvas library bag that contains the items that are ready to be returned and items that have yet to be discovered.

workout lazy.. good intentions

I was motivated this morning. I resisted the urge to remain in bed and cuddle with Todd and I got my work out clothes on and went downstairs. I was all geared up to have a morning date with Billy Blanks the Tae Bo guy. Turns out the Tae Bo work out video was up stairs so instead of walking all the way upstairs (26 steps total) I just did an easier video that was on the main floor of the house. That little story if the exact problem I have with working out. I'm lazy.

The first swear word

For the record: Isabelle Anne uttered her first swear word on July 12th at 6:30 PM. It was B*&% S#$%. and she copied it from her father. Truth be told he was telling a story about my father and quoting my father when he said it. I was holding my innocent little Isabelle in my arms and she just parroted back the words that he said with enthusiasm. It was really hard not to laugh, but i stopped looked at Todd, smiled and then told Iz that that was a naughty words and that dad was being naughty. She said "Naughty daddy". And that was the end of it and we haven't heard it again.
I'm not too worried she didn't really know what she was saying. he could have said Bright Ships and she would has repeated it. However with my sailor like mouth I'm glad that it was Todd that she parroted and not me! Phew!

HAHAHAHAHAHA 28 HAHAHAHAHA

These fashionable glasses were given to Todd and I by my brother and sister in law. They got them on Beale Street in Memphis. I can't help but wonder if my crazy aunt had anything to do with it...? Just in case you can't make out what the glasses are - Todd's are Beer Goggles and mine are wine glasses... Oh the hilarity. This might be a clue as to how I rang in 28.

2 days into my 28th year of life I've learned a few things that I thought I should share:

1) DQ Tagalong blizzard is RIDICULOUSLY good! Go have one now!

2) There is nothing better than a little girl saying "Happy Birthday Dear Ma Ma".

3) I am so glad that in Isabelle's baby book I can say that he father taught her, her first swear word. More to come on that but those are just the Highlights so far!

tooth brushing

Isabelle LOVES brushing her teeth. There was a time when taking her up stairs for bed was not so pleasant, however now all we have to say is, "Do you want to go and brush your teeth?" and she runs to the steps and start to go up all the while saying ,"Come here mama, Come here dada."
I pray that this never changes! Never Ever!

Love it!

I thought this was cute and made me smile. they used real baby faces and then did everything else digitally. It must have been a hugely expensive campaign, but i definitely enjoy it!

As a side note this song is one that brings me back to high school and riding in my friends Olds Trofeo. The car was a classic and had a touch screen that controlled the heat and the radio. We were so cool. "I'll take a dip in the pool which is really on the wall."

Fun, Fun, Fun all the live long day!

Many new and exciting things have happened at our household in the past 9 days. We got a sand box, Isabelle can sing: Twinkle Twinkle little star- however it sounds like tinkle tinkle (which works well for potty training) and rock a bye baby, Isabelle went potty like a big girl again 2 nights ago, I've successfully avoided massive amounts of house work and yet my home looks presentable, Isabelle has taken to carrying around some sort of stuffed animal or baby doll at all times, Isabelle had her first skinned knee, we enjoyed the crap our of our 4th of July weekend and I'm staring at my 28th birthday and have resigned to enjoy it and let it pass with a shrug. Eh, 28, big whop. I realized that in no language is what I just wrote a sentence, but eh, 28, big whop.

Peeling

This is what my back looks like- OK not really but close. Last Friday we had an amazing day at the beach EXCEPT- I didn't put sun block on and burned the crap out of my back and shoulders. Seriously ridiculous. I'm almost 28, haven't I learned my lesson?
When will I learn my lesson? Just put on the sun block. A tan is nice but suffering for it? I'm over that- WAY OVER THAT! So from now on I will be wearing "liquid t-shirt" as Todd calls it.
For now my peely back itches alot! I need a loofah, lotion and a back scratcher.
