Saturday Morning Scene

I'm Linking up with Katie for Saturday Morning Scene today!

My Saturday looks like this...

It's 10:45 and I am still in bed, waiting for Livvy to wake up! She has been sleeping really well and I am happy. Although it may look all nice and sunny outside in this pic...it is not. Mother Nature decided to be all hormonal and be all rainy. Yesterday and the day before...wonderful! It was 75 yesterday! If we can have more nice days I will be a happy camper!

Hope your day is sunny!

PS can anyone tell me how to put her "button" on here...I have tried and tried and it keeps telling me it can't save because there is a link error, how am I supposed to put it in? I have been just copying and pasting directly into the text box, is this wrong? Thanks in advance!

Seriously?!

I am linking up with Becky over at "From Mrs. to Mama" Where we talk about the things that made us go Seriously?! This week...here goes!

Seriously?! This week was Summer Solstice, now for all you non-Alaskan's out there, this might not mean anything to you but to us it means the longest day of the year and that we will now start losing sunlight. Ok, so the longest day of the year, awesome! Lots of sunshine right?! WRONG! It has been cloudy and nasty all week with the exception of yesterday (thanks Mother Nature)...last summer we set records for days of consecutive rain fall! Something like 28 days straight of rain...EWW! Now this summer is starting to look the same, Listen here Mother Nature...get your shit together!!

Seriously?! I have gained 9 lbs since we left for the cruise over a month ago! WTH? It's back to bars for breakfast and little for lunch and getting out and walking with my girl!

Seriously?! Kevin, Livvy and I, his mom and Dad and best friend and his girls have tickets for Sesame Street Live next month. Kevin and his friend have their annual dip-netting trip set for July as well...the same week as Sesame Street Live!! We have had this booked for MONTHS! Like I got on to ticketmaster and booked the tickets the day they came out (3rd row I might add!) He didn't even bother to ask if we had plans or look at the calendar! Not my problem buddy! You figure this one out!

Seriously?! When did Livvy grow up? She was walking down the hallway the other day and she looked like such a big girl...it made me want to cry! I don't like this one but and something needs to change! This little girl is not the same baby who was almost failure to thrive and not gaining weight 19 months ago!

Seriously?! I found Jem on the HUB channel! Kevin totally didn't understand what I was talking about or how excited I was! My neighbor who is younger than me by a few years didn't even know who she was! HUH?! Please tell me you know who Jem is!!

Ok...I think I am done for now! I hope to be back blogging (yes I say this everytime) more regularly and I still need to post about our Cruise! Geez, and Livvy and I are about to head off on a Mommy and Livvy trip home to Missouri to visit my parents and to go to my 10 year reunion...now that is a seriously?! as well!

I hope you all enjoyed it!

Jabber Jabber Jabber

Olivia really has a language all her own. I took this video last night and laughed so hard while taping it. She had been going on like this for some time before I videoed and went on for a while after wards...

I just love her! I hope you enjoy it too :)

Hilarious!

Saturday Morning Scene!!

Here we are again! A new Saturday Morning Scene...

I tried to "grab the button" but I don't know how to do it so if you wanna join in, link up with Katie over at Loves of Life...

Ok, our morning started out pretty good, no breaking of side mirrors lol! When I went in to get Livvy up, this is how her hair looked...



no, she doesn't have a mullet...it just looks like it here!



Oh my geez!! Her hair was crazy!! She has curly hair and we put her to bed last night with wet hair, not a good combination! 

We had our breakfast and watched Max and Ruby, one question...where are Max and Ruby's parents?? I know I wouldn't let my kids run around like that, and Grandma comes for a visit every once in a while. HMMM??

I worked on some new bows for Livvy.

And got her Easter outfit ready for her to wear to see the Easter Bunny!!!

Then we headed to Sportsmans Warehouse to see the Big Furry Guy! I was so nervous that she would freak out when she saw him and I prayed that she wouldn't and she didn't Praise Jesus!!

 Here she was wanting to push the buttons on the elevator...let me tell you a little story about this elevator. The bottom of it now contains my lens cap for my camera! Yup, it wouldn't be a good day with out me breaking, losing or damaging something!! I was trying to put my lens cap back on when the door opened, and it slipped out of my hands and rolled right the the tiny slot and into the elevator shaft! OH my! Thank goodness for Wal-Mart, they had a cheap-o replacement that fit!

 Waiting for the Easter Bunny...

OK, so not the best picture of her but at least she wasn't freaking out!!! She did great! She sat there and looked up at him and giggled and then just smiled! Luckily they took her picture too so she is actually looking at the camera in that one!



I had so many compliments on her outfit! It makes me so proud that I can make her clothes and everyone comment how cute they are :) makes my day!

After the whole lens cap fiasco I had to make a quick run to Wal-Mart to get the new lens cap and there the checker told me that ColorTyme was doing pictures with Elmo! Olivia LOVES Sesame Street...like she could seriously watch it all day long and not tire of it! And Elmo is her favorite! So off we went to ColorTyme...

She just loved on Elmo and wouldn't look at me at all!

 I Love this picture of them, she was pointing at something but she looks like she is hugging him! Oh my this girl!! She just melts hy heart!

So that was our Morning! Hope you enjoyed it! I know we sure did!!

Saturday Morning Scene!

I am linking up with Katie from Loves of Life for "Saturday Morning Scene". This is new to me but I figured now that I have my new Camera...I should take some fun pics on it!!

Ok so my morning started out at 0dark30 aka 6:30 a.m. when Kevin was getting ready for work and I realized I had left our roast out to thaw all night. So I ran to check on it and luckily it was OK. Kevin suggested I go ahead and start it, so I rummaged through the cabinet and realized I had everything but a packet of brown gravy mix. :::ARGH::: So I decided to run to the store to try to make it back before he left at 7...in a rush to get out the garage door I smacked the side mirror into the garage frame and knocked off and busted the mirror!

So, yeah...that's how my morning started! Not good! Hubby was pissed and I was all kinds of worried about 7 years of bad luck haha!

I went back to bed and prayed that Olivia would sleep in. AANNDD She did! Until 10!! WOO HOO! So we got up and had some breakfast. When she was done I asked her to "pick" what she wanted to do today...



When she finally "picked" where she wanted to go...

...She pondered her decision a while...

...so while she pondered, I picked out and outfit for her...

...after she was dressed, I attempted to get a good picture of her...

...but obviously the excitement of her beloved red sparkly shoes won over a decent picture...

..."Olivia Look at Mommy!!"...

...instead she kicked her feet and watched the sparkles...

..."Olivia...LOOK at Mommy!!"...

...Oh this kid!!...

...FINALLY, one where she is looking at me...

We left for the baby and toddler fair and tootled around there for a while. I picked up a few things with her picture on it. You see, last year we went to this and they were looking for new babies to be on the new flyer for the fair, they picked her to be in it!! (can you blame them??)

There she is second from the left with the pink headband!

Here is the whole composition! This was (obviously) the flyer to show people where to put their tickets. I asked if I could have it for her baby book.

The picture was also on the fair map, and they will also put it along with the individual pictures up in the family birthing center!! I am such a proud momma!!

We took a tour of the birthing center and I'm not gonna lie...it made my uterus heart ache a little...OK a lot! I want another baby so bad but right now, I have got to get through this last year of school! We are thinking in November when Livvy is two we will start trying again.

When we came home the house smelled delish and our roast looked soo good!!

And that was our morning/afternoon! Hope you enjoyed it!!

Tangled?

No, this has nothing to do with the new Disney movie...this has to do with my husband, and his new desire to grow out his hair. You see, since I have known him, he has always had short hair. HELLO, he was in the Army when we met! But that was 9 years ago...Even after he got out, he has had short hair. Well, this last Hunting season was the last time he shaved his head. Now, it has gotten long enough to get tangled. Yesterday we had a huge wind storm (Not a new thing for Palmer, but when it happens in Anchorage it makes the news??) So he was working and wasn't able to wear his hat because it was too windy and it would blow off. So last night I hear him cursing and complaining, when I asked him what his problem was he tells me "my hair is so tangled". I had to laugh. I got out some detangler I had and sprayed it on his hair to help and he was still whining. MEN, such babies lol! So I told him to get the good thick conditioner and take a shower and use it. He told me he would just wait until the morning.
Then this morning, he calls me from work to tell me how "soft" his hair was since he slept with that detangler in his hair and using that conditioner. He may be a guys guy but he does have a feminine side to him. And that my friends is funny!
I am hoping that he comes to his senses soon and decides to get it cut...we'll see! He claims he is growing it out until this hunting season so it will be a year of growing out but we will see what he decides and how long it gets when he finally cuts it!

"Zat?"

This is Livvy's new word...it means "What is That?" She used it tonight when pointing to something on my face...I couldn't figure out what she was talking about..."Zat?...Zat?" Then she started blinking her eyes really fast...she was talking about my eyelashes! HAHA! Then, she proceded to touch them and pull on them. I guess she has never noticed before when I wear mascara (which sadly seems to be coming farther and farther between now a days). It was so cute! I love how she is starting to notice little things and trying to talk. Makes me sad that she is growing up too fast but makes me happy that she is using more of her vocabulary.

Alright, it's late (12:15) and I have been dreading taking off my makeup to go to bed (which is probably the reason I don't wear it very often...I would much rather crawl into bed and not have to worry about washing my face). I wanted to post about this so I can have a memory of it...she cracks me up!

G'night all!
