Day 30

Day 30 is whatever I feel like blogging about. 

Well there's lots to blog about. 

but instead of writing a novel..I'll just summarize what's been happening lately. 

- Mommy and Me is about to get busier and I'm taking charge, with excitement and nervousness that I will stress more than I need to over it because that's just what I do. 

 - Calvin has been teething what seems forever and it JUST started getting worse and there are STILL no teeth. ugh. hopefully him getting fussier means teeth coming sooner. 

- we got our pup Benji back from staying with my S.I.L...not sure how long he will stay, If anyone is in need of a loving cuddly dog who is super chill and lazy...hit me up!

- I feel like I never see my husband, and feel bad about all the work hes been doing lately with finals and everything. (i think finals affect spouses too when there's only one person in school. tough times.)

- my grandma came to visit for my cousins graduation this weekend and is currently asleep while I am typing this..surprised I don't hear any snoring yet...:p 

- I get to see my best friend tomorrow that I haven't seen in 2 years! since we all moved away after cosmetology school. I am BEYOND excited! I will most likely post about that too. 

-  I did some hair and makeup for prom a few weeks ago and it made me really miss my old job!

- Calvin had his first swing ride yesterday and loved it. 

- We discovered recently that little man has a bit of anxiety when we put him to bed. Problem may have been solved. The soothing seahorse has come to the rescue! seriously he loves that thing. it lights up and plays lullabies, and slowly dims and gets quieter. perfect. 

- I've been discovering new recipes and actually making things I've pinned on pinterest. who knew it would actually work!

- little mans stroller got pooped on...or "diarrhea'd" on as I like to say, we no longer own that thing. oh and it was not the babes fault...dumb dog. (don't worry it wasn't brand new it was like 10 yrs old and given to us for free, and it worked...now I'm saving up for a jogger! woo!)

-   my friends are having baby showers and getting married. life is great. 

-i got dressed up and went to a "mini military ball" . awkward. but yummy dinner. 

- as much as I LOVE being a SAHM....I love my job as a hairstylist and think it is time for me to go back real soon!...especially if we plan to save up for a house after the hubs graduates. 

Well I think that's all for now...and to end the post I'd like to post this hideous picture of my little man and I at temple square this afternoon before we had lunch at the lionhouse. :) 

 

Good night all!

Day 29

Day 29: a picture of yourself

I just realized looking through pictures I hardly have ANY pictures of just myself..maybe I hate getting my picture taken knowing I'm not where I want to be fitness wise yet. But I'm workin on it and will hopefully feel more comfortable then. 

Until then here's a pic of my little man and I New Years Eve

seems like forever ago 

XOxo

 

Day 28

Day 28: do you wish for anything at 11:11? if so, what do you wish for?

 I don't really think I wish for anything..haha. I don't wait for it to be 11:11..half the time I don't even know what time it is.  but when I do wish for something I wish for lots of money and to be super skinny. ok maybe not super skinny. But you get the idea. side note...I used to have dreams that I lived in the mall and I would sleep in the bed store with the super comfy beds and then wake up and go to whatever store I like and pick out an outfit for the day complete with purses, shoes accessories. I mean wouldn't that be just fabulous?! Oh I think I will wish for that every 11:11. 

what do you wish for at 11:11?

Day 27

Day 27: A picture of your handwriting.

This was from awhile back. We started a journal or diary for our little man with letters written to him by the hubs and I throughout his years. And a gift for him when he turns 18:) I absolutely hate hate hate my handwriting. but oh well.

Do you like your handwriting? I feel like most people don't like their own handwriting but love everyone else's. like myself.

Day 25

Day 25:  Would you rather date someone plain with an amazing personality? or someone beautiful with a plain personality?

Well that's an easy answer...the first of course! To be completely honest I wasn't really attracted to my husband at first. NO, I didn't think he was ugly. I guess I just didn't pick him out and be like holy crap that man is beautiful! He was always kind of in the background..But once I got to know him through a few dates, he became very attractive! I think that's how it should be. or at least how it is for a lot of people. If they have an amazing personality then that makes them beautiful. or sparkle as Tierra would say on the Bachelor.

Lucky for me I have a beautiful husband with an amazing personality!

 #winning

Which would you choose? What if Channing Tatum had a plain personality? Would you still date him?...probably..

Day 24

Day 24: 7 things that cross your mind often

1. Am I doing this mom thing right?!

2. When will we have our next child?

3. What would my little sister be like if she were still alive?

4. Are we ever going to move back to California by our family?

5.Where will we buy our first home?

6. What should I eat/make for dinner/breakfast/lunch? food of course is always on my mind!

7. What can I do to help my husband...

There are lots of things that cross my mind, but like it says, these are the most often. I think about A LOT of things, but then I think about my husband who has ADD. kind of bad. and I try to imagine what it would be like to have so many things going on in my head all at the same time, and I get overwhelmed just thinking about it! So I feel for my husband and try to help him out. There is never a dull moment in our house lets just say that! :)

What are you constantly thinking about?

Day 23

Day 23: A letter to someone. Anyone.

Dear Calvin, 

I cannot believe how fast this time has gone! You are going to be six months a week from today. What?! You are growing up ridiculously fast and despite how fun it is, I miss your little 6 lb 4 oz self that you used to be. Now, as of last week, you weigh a whopping 17 lbs 10 oz! You are getting to be such a little chunk and carrying you around is getting to be more of a workout. You love to sit in the shopping cart now like a big boy and look around at everything we pass by. What you see is what you grab, and that is EVERYTHING. My face, hair, hands, clothes, jewelery, phone, remote, anything you name it. You've been teething for quite some time now and we have yet to see a tooth pop out yet, I sure hope it makes its arrival real soon to put you out of those days you are in misery. Tummy time seems to be not as big of a deal anymore and you are SO close to rolling completely over it kills me! Either you get stuck on your side, or you rock back and forth almost as if you're scared to roll all the way over. Another one of your favorite things to do is play in your excer saucer. You've got lots of animal toys around you and you love to try to put them in your mouth and get mad when you can't grab them or get your mouth on it. You also love to eat, and like every other man, you get terribly grumpy if we don't feed you soon enough or right away. Sometimes when you eat baby food we can't get the spoon in your mouth quick enough for you and you get oh so very angry. So far you have liked every single food we've given you except peaches! What the what?! Those are my favorite! Maybe I ate too many of them when you were in my belly that you got sick of them.  But if that's the only thing you don't like right now I'm OK with it. I'm glad you are not a picky eater..none of those are allowed in this house in case you didn't know. Besides the fact that you get angry if you don't get food, you are quite a happy baby all the time. (except for when those teeth are trying to plow their way through) Your smile is my favorite thing right along with your giggle. I love to tickle you and hear you cackle real loud over and over. You also love to talk a lot. In your carseat, your crib, on the floor, anywhere you just blab away and yell funny sounds as if you were saying "hey!". I couldn't imagine life without you. You have been such a huge blessing to your daddy and I and we couldn't have asked for a better son. We are so lucky to wake up to your smiling face every morning we come to get you from your room. You put so much joy in our lives as well as many others around you. Even those that are miles and miles away! You are loved so very much by so many and we are so excited to watch you continue to grow into the smart, handsome, and loving boy that you are. We do everything we can to make sure you have a wonderful life and want only the best for you. We pray to be the best parents we can be for you and hope to live up to that. We love you so incredibly much and thank you for choosing us as your parents!

XOxo Mom

Day 22

Day 22: A picture of what you wore today..

Well low and behold I failed at capturing this..and honestly my outfits the past few days haven't been quite glamorous, I've been home most of the day and busy cleaning/rearranging things in my house so its been comfy unflattering clothes..:) 

So how bout a picture of what I wore on Easter Sunday! With my handsome little man's outfit as well! 

(dont mind his confused look..he JUST woke up from a nap and wasn't quite understanding what was going on..haha)

I try real hard every day to actually get dressed and look decent because then I feel really good about myself and feel like I did something that day even if its running to the store and back home. Its super hard some days but I've never not felt better about getting dressed with a little bit of makeup :) 

Anyone else have their yoga pants call their name every single day?

Day 20

Day 20: Concerts you have attended.

Well my first every concert was a symphony orchestra concert in...4th? or 5th grade. I remember this clearly because we got all dressed up for it and afterwards at school I was playing tether ball and got hit in the face with a flat ball and my nose bled EVERYWHERE and I went to the yard duty lady and she was holding a frog and said..well um I can't really help you right now, why don't you just walk up to the front office to the nurse and I just cried. haha

But my for reals concert besides orchestra was N*Sync. I was in 6th grade. My cousin Sammie took me with her for her birthday and we sung our hearts out. I remember I got a T-shirt and a necklace from the concert. Afterwards our throats hurt so bad from screaming that we went to starbucks for some hot cocoa :) Such good times!

My next concert was John Schmidt. He played here in Utah at Thanksgiving Point at the waterfall. My amazing hubby surprised me with this date not long after we got married. It was an awesome concert! I love his music. He's now doing the Piano Guys with his cellist he's been playing with. Like I've mentioned before, these guys can rock out and get you rockin out too! 

Another concert I went to was Backstreet Boys. No I'm not talking when I was in elementary school. I'm talking about as a grown married woman. Not last year, but the year before I believe. They came to Salt Lake and I really wanted to go, SO I went with one of my best friends Kaitlynn from back home and we totally rocked out. We definitely got T-shirts and sung out hearts out as well. It was a total blast! I've decided concerts are more fun with your close friends and also family that you can sing and dance crazy with no shame.

And last but not least the most recent concert I went to was Jbeebs with Carly Rae Jepsen as the opener. I'm a belieber. My little sisters christmas present was tickets to his concert, and those of you who know her, know she LOVES him. has videos on her facebook of her dancing and singing to his songs, and also a video showing all of her Justin Beiber "gear' and her saying multiple times how much she loves him. Like its kind of crazy. haha. Needless to say that was a GREAT concert. no t shirt, but a glow wand for my little sister. haha 

I need another concert to go to soon! They are so fun!

How many concerts have you been to? or want to go to coming up? 

XOxo
