4th of July.....

This past weekend we headed to Rock Hill to celebrate the 4th. We hung out with friends, cooked out and swam. We had such a nice time I wasn't ready for Monday to arrive. Annalee got to hang out and meet some special friends this weekend. She also got to meet her bff Hattie. Hattie is only 6 days younger than Annalee. I think they hit it off and will be great friends.
This is all i can post. Annalee wants to play. She keeps on hitting the keyboard.

phase....


I think Annalee is going through a phase. A couple weeks ago when she was sick she wasn't at daycare for a couple of days. When she went back they told me "we are so glad Annalee is back, we didn't have anyone crawling all over the place or stealing pacis." The kids have to wear the pacis clipped to their clothes now so other kids (ie mine) don't take each others. I have walked into daycare a couple of times and she has had Porter's paci! (gross!) i go pick her up from daycare around 5 and the light is off. All the kids are playing, but only Annalee is sleeping, hence the light being off. They did not want to disturb the princess. Yesterday, Russ went to pick her up. When he got there she was throwing a dirt road fit. Of course she was in one of the daycare workers arms. He said she was doing the sniffles and wailing her head and everything. Come to find out she was throwing a tantrum because Julie took her toy! Yikes....

These things are pretty funny and her little personality is developing so fast, but the paci stealing has got to stop.
btw-check out the pic. Doesn't everyone eat with their feet in the air?

Weekend Recap----

This past weekend I headed to Lake hartwell to meet up with some of my friends from college. I was really looking forward to this getaway. Russ was watching Annalee and i could relax. We all got there Friday and of course stayed up way too late catching up. Saturday we headed out on the lake. It was so nice. Relaxing, soaking up sun, talking, gossiping it was much needed. Of course, where ever we go something always has to happen. Saturday night, Kelly and Leigh were outside and started hearing something. Then it got closer and closer! They ran in the house screaming and frantically locking all the doors. Tara and i were sleeping, LOL! So what do we do??? Call the cops! The cop came and was really nice. It was four girls and we were scared to death. He said he would keep an eye on us all night! Thanks!! After the incident we went to sleep, all sleeping in the same room of course and then headed home on Sunday! Thanks Kelly for letting us stay at your house! Thanks Kelly, Tara and Leigh for such a fun trip! I can't wait until we all get together again.

Also, Annalee is a big girl now! She got her first pair of kicks! You are not a styling 11 month old girl unless you have the pink and white stride rite tennis shoes! I will post a picture. She didn't really know what to do when she got fitted and then they put them on her feet! She was kicking and grabbing them! Thanks mom for buying her a great pair of shoes! She loves them!

Here we are today..... take 2

**** prelude to bolg post and why it is called part 2.... once upon a time i was part of an online book club and we used blogger to do post. That club ended a while ago but i still have saved right next to this blog. Well, I did this post posted a pic and everything and it was on the wrong blog. Seriously! How embarressing! Maybe i just need to go to bed. Oh well, i it gave me a laugh for today!

Here we are today..
Wow, it is crazy how time flies. I know people say that all the time, but seriously it does. Where do I even begin. Annalee will be 11 months old tomorrow. She is growing like crazy! She weighs in at 20lbs and is 28 inches long. She has two little teeth on the bottom. We thought she would never get teeth. She eats baby food, but for the life of me I cannot get her to eat table food. She is already a picky eater! She will walk while holding onto the couch so I am thinking we will have a walker on our hands in the next few weeks. Below is a picture of our little princess. This was taken at 9 months!





Who do you think she looks like? I love how this picture shows her little orange nose! Her nose has turned orange due to the fact that the only veggies she will eat are carrots, squash and sweet potatoes. Does that mean she is a Clemson fan?
The countdown is on! I start my clinicals in January! I am nervous, scared and excited all at the same time. There are so many things that you have to do to get ready. I have to make sure my immunizations are in order, have a physical, drug screen, background check, etc. I also am CPR certified. I took a 4 hour class on a Saturday morning. If you ever have the opportunity to take a CPR class i suggest you do so. You never know when someone you know or don't know needs it.
I did take an online class this past semester (that is a whole other post in itself!). Anatomy and Physiology. I don't even think i spelled that correctly. Lets just say school is hard and I am retaking the class, this time in an actual class and not online. My class starts at the end of Aug. Round 2 here i come!
Last weekend we had a yard sale and we actually had fun having one! Our "customers" were all really great and we made over $300. Not too shabby.
If you have read to this point you are probably thinking this is the most random post of all time. True it is, but when you don't blog for over 6 months you have random thoughts. I am definitly going to do better on blogging. So ta-ta for now!

stay tuned......

I am bringing the blog back! After reading and stalking other blogs, I realized I need to document our lives. So much has happened that I should have been blogging about! So if I have any more of my readers still out there stayed tuned, an update is coming tonight!

Yes, i am here...


I know it has been what 4 months since the last blog. Since then so much has happened. Where should I start?? Annalee is now 5 1/2 months old! She weighs in at 15.2 lbs and around 26 inches long! She is eating every three hours and at night sleeping from 7:30pm-6;30am!! It is wonderful! She is happy all of the time and of course i think she is the cutest little thing! She is sick right now! :( i got a call from daycare on Tuesday saying she was wheezing and you could see her struggling to breath. I immediatly ran her to the dr. She has a respitory infection. She is taking steroids and breathing treatments 3x's a day. Lets hope we don't have any roid rages. I had to take her back to the Dr on Thursday because she wasnt' keeping anything down and still wheezing. So now she has a stomach virus on top of everything and we have added an additional breathing treatment to the day. She has to eat every two hours and only 2ozs at a time! My little one is used to eating 8 ounces at a time. Through all of this she is still always smiling and laughing. We are so lucky to have such a great baby!

I am back at work, working full time and going to school! My first class i am taking is Anatomy & Biology! It is the hardest class i think i have ever taken! So between being a mommy, wife, working full time, and going to school, this is why the blog has taken a back burner!

sorry for such a short update, Annalee is crying! I will update more soon! Promise!

Crazy..

I think i am going crazy. Tuesday I go for advising. I am going back to school. I having been thinking for a long time of going back and getting my nursing degree. I went to talk to an advisor about 3 years ago and decided at that point I wasn't ready. But apparently going back now while working full time and will have a 5 month old makes better sense to me (this is why i am crazy!). I am really excited though. I went to the campus on Tuesday to do paperwork and stuff and the students are so young. I am going to be that old person in the class! I don't start till Jan, but with the program i have to complete orientations and other stuff this semester, so i am kind of getting a small dose of how it is going to be. I have been out of school for awhile. Hopefully, i can get back in the swing of things. I am only going to take 2 classes in the spring. If all goes well I will be an RN in about 3 years! Crazy!
