Finally figured it out!

Well I finally figured out how to design a header with pictures!...Yes I know its been awhile but I have been so busy and I finally got some time....I know it needs some work but at least I have something!

These pictures are from Loreli's 12 month photo session....I can't believe it she is 15 months now!...I need to get new pictures! I am sure PaPa will come to my rescue!

What a weekend!

So I am giving a weekend update late…it was a crazy one to say the least! Friday we went to the picnic for a bit to eat and walk around and wait for GG and PaPa to get there so they could take Loreli home! We walked around and people watched for a bit, yes I know bad but Loreli loves it so I just go along with it. As we were people watching we ran in to Amanda and her boys. They just love her…it was so cute how they play with her! We also ran in to Sarah and Emily. Talked to them for a bit and then went to go meet GG and PaPa. WE walked to the car to get everything switched over and they were off for the weekend! I went out to the ball diamonds for a bit to watch Lynne and then we headed back to the picnic for a bit!

Saturday I got and decorated a cake and then I had to work at the ball diamonds pretty much all day and night. I took a break around 5ish to go to my cousins graduation party and to deliver the cake. Loreli was so cute playing with her cousins (of course I didn’t have my camera, UGH). I headed back to the ball diamonds to work some more…well later then what I thought. I was thinking I would head to the picnic for a bit but it got crazy busy at the diamonds so I couldn’t leave…o well. I think it would around 2:30AM when I left the ball diamonds…I got a call from Eli at 3AM to check the radar to see if there was gonna be more rain…I said no. Eli said he would be home in a bit….next thing I know I woke up and it was 7 in the morning and Eli was no where to be found…I called him and he never came home from the diamonds her worked on them all night! At the time I was so mad because he hadn’t slept in like 3 days worrying about this tournament and here he pulled an all nighter…ugh these diamonds are gonna be the death of me! So I brought him some new cloths and socks to get changed. I went back home and got ready because I had to work again. It was a bit slower of a day but that was ok because I was so tired from only getting about 4 hours of sleep! I got off around 2 went home and got ready and then picked Loreli up so we could go to the parade.

Grandma Tina, Aunt Sarah and the Grand Aunts were waiting for us and holding our spot. We got everything set up and the parade was starting. Loreli just loved because she could just watch and every once in awhile someone would stop and talk to her!

I am all ready...cookies and all!

Had to move to the blanket so I could get alittle closer!

Loreli loved these guys!

See just staring!

Loreli got away from us so aunt Sarah to the rescue

She loved these little bouncy balls, I think she held them the whole parade

The monkey..well not a hit as you can see!

Look what I got Grand Aunts!

I am not letting go of my candy!

Thank you for my balloon!

After that we headed to the picnic to eat and walk around again…and then I could tell it was getting close to bed time so I said lets just go! When we got home Daddy was already sleeping…I didn’t realize he was so I woke him up so he could see Loreli. They played for a bit and then I said let go get ready for bed and that’s what we did…it was a long weekend for all of us and we are all still recouping!

Hope everyone had a good weekend….not gonna lie I am hoping next year on this weekend we will be on vacation with the Aubuchon family and not at the ball diamonds!

Porta Westfalica

(This was my post for yesterday but since blogger wouldn't let me upload, its a day late)

Daddy called us right around 5 last night and told us to be ready to go to Waterloo, because he wanted to go to the Porta Westfalica Parade. (I think he wanted to do a trial run for Fireman's). Well I can say that it was a success...she loved it! She knows how to work her magic and get everyone to stop and give her candy and she knows how to pick it up too!

Daddy and Loreli

So serious

she got a kick out of something....little stinker

I thought this was the craziest thing

I can pick up candy all by myself!

On the way home this is what we seen and Eli was like you have to take a picture so I did...LOL

Doctors Appt

Last Tuesday I was suppose to have a doctors appointment, I was hoping to get fully released. Kim called and said that that Dr. Richard had been called to the hospital to deliver a baby. So we had to reschedule for yesterday. So I went in there and he had to do his thing and then tells me that I have to come back in October. UGH...I think this is never ending! I think that since Loreli I have had at least 6 paps plus some other work done...not fun at all! 

So when people ask me so are you guys gonna have another kid and I say NO or maybe in 5 years...this is why! I have been scar I think! My doctor has told me that he would not be surprised if I wait along time or don't have another one becasue this is not a good situation have being a first time pregnancy.

So until October I will just wait and hope that I am released then!...Loreli will be 19 months....crazy!!!!

Father's Day Weekend Wrap-up

Well I am gonna start off with a week recap of poor Loreli head…Monday night we were playing outside and she tripped and face planted the sidewalk. She got a bloody nose and black one too! Thursday we were at the ball diamonds and she got excited because she seen a puppy and tripped over a stroller and skidded across the concrete. She got a nice strawberry on her forehead.  

So on to the weekend…

Friday after I picked Loreli up from the sitter we went and delivered everyone’s orders from my arbonne party.  Deb’s was the last stop and we stayed for a bit to talk and catch up. Austin was there and at first he was alittle shy but he warmed up to her and they had a blast playing grocery store! Too Cute! I wish I would have had my camera! After that we headed to the ball diamonds to just hang out and see everyone. Loreli was having a blast between all the kids and puppies…she was in heaven! Well the puppy had left and she found the bleacher and she thought she needed to try and climb on them and by the time I went to go grab her and get her off she had already taken the step off and slipped and hit the back of her head…Ay yi yi! I could tell this one hurt alittle more then the others since she cried! Daddy came running and checked her out and well Momma got yelled at! Daddy took her for a gator ride around the diamonds and it was like it never happened! It was late and well past bed time to we headed home. Got our pjs on and hit the sheets! I woke up around 2ish and Eli still wasn’t home from the diamonds so I text him to make sure everything was ok and well he was talking…imagine that! I couldn’t fall back asleep and so I called him to come home and I think it was 3ish when he got home and well then the storm hit and let just say I didn’t get any sleep. We brought Loreli in our room because she has a big window in her room. She was wide awake and ready to play…so I got some toys and we played in our bed room for awhile till the storm calm down and we put her back in her crib!

Saturday I ran to Fairview to get my ring cleaned and grocery shop. That night we were going to Sarah and Kevin’s to swim and to celebrate Father’s Day with Robbie. Loreli loved the pool…I was so excited! She was having a blast and I think Grandpa was too!

Hey come back here and play with me!

I just love my little girl!

I think I like this swiming thing

Grandpa got in on the fun too!

She tried to jump out of Grandpa's arms

Having a drink at the bar

Grandpa Robbie's gift!

 We had some yummy food and then we played some washers. Then we just chilled out in the living room. Loreli was having so much fun. She found this elephant foot massager and she would sit on it and then look at us get up walk to the other side of the room and come back and do it again…it was so stinking funny!

Aunt Sarah reading to Loreli...Loreli loves books

That face is too cute!

 It was another late night but a fun one! Loreli didn’t even wake up when we took her out of the car seat so straight to the crib she went. I felt like I just fell asleep and the storm hit. UGH! I just wanted some sleep! It didn’t seem as bad so we left Loreli go.

We got a call early Sunday morning that Robbie and Tina’s tree got it but the storm. Robbie thought that about a third of it was damaged. He needed Eli to come with a chain saw to get it cleaned up. First we had to open Daddy’s gifts!

She found the cookies after she destoyed the living room

Cookies in bed...daddy wasn't happy

Reading the card to daddy

A poster of Loreli and all 12 months in the jeep

 I told Eli that we would get ready and just meet him over there! When we go there they had most of it cleaned up! I couldn’t believe it, it was such a nice tree and it’s all jacked up!

Got some new shades

 We spent the afternoon there and played till we had to go to the next Father’s Day. We went to Burksville to eat with my Dad, Joel, Theresa and Dustin. It was really good! Loreli was getting antsy so Eli took her outside so she could walk around. Next thing I know Eli was coming in the door and I could see a new mark on her head….yep she fell again. We got it cleaned up and decided it was time to go. I asked Eli what happened and he said she was just walking in the rocks and lost her balance and instead of putting her butt out she used her head. She split it open alittle and had a nice black and blue golf ball on her head. Eli said I didn’t think it was even that bad because she didn’t cry! I think my kid enjoys pain…she hardly ever cries when she gets hurt! We got home and put a little Neosporin on it and alittle round band aid…I feel so bad her poor little head! This was hit number four...how much more can her poor little head take! Eli headed back out to the diamonds to work on them some more….we have a big tournament this coming weekend so we have to get them perfect!!! Papa and GG stopped by to get some stuff and we gave PaPa his gift...I think he loved it!

 Loreli and Mommy decided to get some ice cream and go and watch Daddy on the tractor….Loreli loves to watch him!

Yum Yum

 We even got a gator ride at the end of the night! We got home and got pjs on and got to bed! I think everyone was tired because we all were alittle crabby!

Hope everyone had a great weekend…I know we have a really busy week/weekend coming up!  

Mommy and Loreli Weekend!

What a great weekend...the weather was just perfect. Eli left Friday afternoon to go jeeping with some friends at Flat and Nasty, he wasn't gonna be back till Sunday so it was just me and Loreli.

Friday Uncle Dustin watch Loreli because Jenny (Loreli's sittter, she is amazing!) was gonna be out of town. I get a picture at work and I have a feeling that Loreli already has him wrapped around her little finger....

Who lets a 14 month old eat on the couch and watch TV....when I got home he was like what she is with Uncle Dustin and can do whatever she wants....O boy! Dustin had to go to work at 1 so Loreli came back to work with me and was a really good girl! That always makes it better! We got home and played outside for awhile till GG got there.

mowing the sidewalk

talking to DeJa 

When Papa and GG got done golfing they came and got Loreli becasue Mommy had to be at work at 7AM and GG didn't want to get up that early so she said she would just take her Friday night. After they left I went to Red Box and go some movies. I got Just go with it, which is really cute and I got The Switch which was good too. It was getting late and I was thinking I need to get to bed but I was not tired and I was missing both of my babies. It was a restless night to say the least!

Saturday I was up bright and early and not gonna lie I was praying for rain....I had to work a little girls softball tourney....and I hate to work them. I had to work 7-4 and I knew it was gonna be a long day,  but I got through it, barly! HA! I got home showered and headed to Mom's to get Loreli. She made supper for us and it was yummy. They had plans that night so back home to soak up some Mommy/Loreli time. I did stop at the Red Box again and got 2 more movies. After I put Loreli down for the night I popped in the first one. Life as we know it....OMG awesome move! I laughed, I cried and made me think! I also got Due Date but I ended up not watching it. After watching that movie I wanted my baby close to me so I took her out of the crib and put her in bed with me...she never sleeps with us because that is one thing we said we would never do...whoops!

Well as you can see this is how she slept....so guess what Momma didn't get any sleep. As much as I loved having her next me, lesson learned leave her in her crib!

Sunday we got up early and just played for awhile and then took alittle nap. Uncle Dustin was gonna watch her for a bit till Eli got home becasue I had a girls day planned. I got them all set with lunch and I was off to meet the girls. It was a great day of crazy fun and much needed!

Loreli loves to sit on the DeJa's bed while I get ready

gotta make sure she has all her hair in place

To the Evansville Winery...

Kim's sister hopped in about half way through!

Renualt

I love hanging my feet outside of the jeep!

I love this girl!

We started off at the Evansville Winery and I think that I have a new favorite place....we loved it and will be back for sure!!! Then we headed to M & F to get some chicken but they were closed so back to The Office to pick up Michelle (Kim's Sister). We got some food and then hit up the Ruma Mill. Then we decided to slum it a bit and hit Modoc, Rocher and Renualt. Then it was back to The Office. It was a great day with some great friends and like I said before much needed! I was home by 9:30ish talked to Eli for a bit and he didn't seem upset at all that I had been gone all day which is another plus! WHOOP WHOOP! Then to bed becasue Monday was the next day! UGH!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!!
