busy girl

First things first.

WE GOT THE DUPLEX!!!!!

I am so excited! :) It is going to be great! It is so cute and I cant wait to decorate it and make it mine :) We are moving on friday :( I'm really not looking forward to the moving part but I think it will be okay. Just worried about Miss Olivia and her getting bored and tired.

Also, I have caught Heather's insomnia. :( Once Mike gets up, I am wide awake until like 5 and then I want to go back to bed but Olivia has been getting up at 6. I just dont sleep good without Mike. Today is his friday, which means I get to sleep with him ALL night. I look forward to his weekends. I have been VERY needy .. [hmm must be contagious. Olivia too.] I dont mean to be, I just want to be with Mike every second. I love him so much.

Olivia has also been very needy. Bless her sweet little heart. She doesn't want to go to sleep unless I am rocking her. I have been doing it too! I just realized she wont be this small forever and I want to enjoy being able to hold her in my arm and rock her. When she falls asleep, I carefully put her back in bed and pat her a little and she smiles at me and then falls asleep. Cant get any better than that. She is so wonderful. I just want to hug and squeeze her.

Well I have only killed half an hour. .. :( I'm going to go lay on the couch and try to sleep. Ha!

God Bless!

A song that makes me smile

"Everything"

Michael Buble

You're a falling star, you're the get away car.You're the line in the sand when I go too far.You're the swimming pool, on an August day.And you're the perfect thing to say.

And you play it coy but it's kinda cute.Ah, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do.Baby don't pretend that you don't know it's true.'cause you can see it when I look at you.

[Chorus:]

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy timesIt's you, it's you, you make me sing.You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,And you light me up, when you ring my bell.

You're a mystery, you're from outer space,You're every minute of my everyday.And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,And you know that's what our love can do.

[Chorus]

So, la, la, la, la, la, la, laSo, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

[Chorus:]

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy timesIt's you, it's you, you make me sing.You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.You're every song, and I sing along.'Cause you're my everything.Yeah, yeah

So, la, la, la, la, la, la, laSo, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

I've been working been working hard to keep up with the challenges over at scrapfriendzy. I've done 3 of the 10 :( Yikes. But I have the rest of the week to finish them and I am going to try and do a card a day....

Here are the 3 that I have done. I think they turned out great!

Just a birthday card to put in the stack incase I'm super swamped and dont get to make one! The challenge was to do one with a pocket and if you pull up the little tag there is a little birthday saying :)

This was my Daddy's fathers day card for the father's day challenge. I really like how it turned out.

This challenge, we were suppose to make an "I love you card" with a scalloped edge. My scalloped edge didnt turn out because my scissors wanted to not be my friend. :( But oh well. I really love this one. It may be my favorite.

3 down. 10 to go!! AHHH!

this is the face I get when I try to get her to laugh. She was so close..

the next day!! We were at the lake and playing with Huburt the duck rattle and out comes the sweetest little laugh!!!! It was soo cute! And I was almost laughing/crying :)

It made my whole day! Momma got her babygirl to laugh! :) I cant wait for more giggles to come!

Rocks between my toes

Mike and I brought Olivia to the lake! We took a walk to the bridge and there is a little spot where you can wade and thought that would be a great introduction to the lake for Olivia.

Dad decided to give Olivia a good ol' pep talk about how cold the water was going to be and that she shouldn't cry or she might scare the fish.. :) We put her on the cold wet rocks first and she didn't even wince. I think she liked it. Or maybe... she was just too shocked. We got her out to that little rock. Where she tried to sit down, naturally :).

She just looks so curious and awe struck. I just love her curious heart. I think I say that everyday. She didn't cry the whole time we were in the water. I think she is going to be a fish! :) My sister was a fish when she was little. She would be out in the water even if Mom called us in for dinner at the lake.

When her lip started to quiver, we decided it was time to go. She did get her little onesie a little wet, but she seemed to enjoy it. I cant wait til it gets a little warmer and she can actually get in with Dad. Mom will sit on the shore and take pictures :)

7 RaNdOm things about meee

7. I would rather be running than walking
6. I clean when I'm grumpy
5. I have to drink coffee in the morning. Mike knows better than to talk to me before my coffee.
4. I love avacados. I just never know what to do with them so half always goes brown and bad :(
3. I doodle on everything. lists. ideas. numbers. whatever.
2. I wont pay full price for anything.
1. I love to take pictures of Olivia and Mike sleeping. Mike looks so peaceful and Olivia sleeps like she is resting in heaven.

Summer Sun

I love the weather!! It has been gorgeous here in Ellensburg. We have had atleast 80's with NO wind! Yup I said it.. NO WIND. We had a great fathers day on Sunday, although I didn't get everything done that I wanted. Being on vacation and then starting work right after has been a hassle. Luckily I got a card done for someone's birthday, just not fathers day gifts :(

I did get Mike a starbucks cup that you decorate yourself. Has it been decorated.. NOPE. But he got it anyways and I told him it would be done by the end of the week. I did remember the card! YAY! Olivia's grandpa's card is in the mail and will be late but he will like it anyways.

Olivia and I went and ran some "errands" on sunday and came back with a cake that had her hand and foot print in it! Mike got me one for mother's day because they had an event at Super 1. It makes me sad that they dont do things like that for Dad's. So I went and Sue and Pam helped me put her foot in there and then her hand. She got to taste the icing that was ALL over! She didn't really like it. She doesn't know what she is missing!
