all most over

i have only two weeks left until it's time for me to get back on my grind. i'm looking forward to another semester at ASU. the only thing that's going to suck is walking around that hot campus for half a day in 110 degree heat. i took ~S~ to the daycare she will be going to today so that she could meet some of the kids and her teachers. she was so excited to be around children her age, she cried all the way home. it's going to be a busy semester but most importantly i'm so happy and excited that i found a place for ~S~ that i am comfortable with. i was concerned that i wouldn't find something good enough for ~S~ when i started looking because i couldn't find anyone that met my expectations. after interviewing all the facilities that i did i learned that you pay for what you get, and that my expectations aren't any higher than another caring mother. anyway, regardless of how great ~S's~ new school is. i am grateful that we will be apart from each other for only two days out of the week. i think this is going to be a fun experience for my Sadie Bug!

P.S: i finished ~S's~ playroom back in January and we have been enjoying it every since. it's really cute and i will post pictures soon so stay tuned!!!!!

Happy Friday!

HOLY METAL MOUTH!!!!

i finally got my braces off

wondering how i got pearly-whites after two and a half years of braces? and no I don't bleach my teeth (you can't bleach with braces).

funny story: while leaving my ortho appointment a lady complemented me on my new smile by saying, "now your father will need a baseball bat to keep the boys away." who would have thought this face is a 30 year old wife and mother. jokes on her!!!!

Happy Sunday!!!

today was the beginning of a great week. this morning hubby made breakfast for the family while I took care of ~S~. after breakfast our plan was to get ready for church early so that we could have a little family scripture study before our one o'clock meeting time but we got distracted playing hide-n-seek instead. our hearts were in the right place but i enjoyed playing hide with ~S~ while hubby was the seeker. we had the best hiding spots too! ~S~ and I would stand in a corner, sit in a chair, or roll up in a ball in the middle of the floor with a big white blanket covering our bodies from head to toe. ~S~ would yell out to her dad letting him know that we were ready for him to find us, and while we were waiting. ~S~ would yell out "daddy come find us" giving him hints on our already obvious hiding spots. we tried to explain how the game works but what can i say...she's 2, awesome, and tons of fun to play with!

4th of July 2011

this years 4th of july was just what the doctor ordered...eventful, food, the apple store, joann's fabric store, fireworks, me, hubby, and our sweet pea. my father and sisters were planning on visiting for the holiday but my sister Mia had her RN state board exam on the 7th (of which she passed...congratulations Mia! we love and are proud of you), and she wanted to make sure she was ready for her test. of course, we would have loved to spend the holiday with them but understandably so the trip had to be postpone. my little family and i had a blast! it was nice for once to allow ourselves to not feel obligated to less important ways of spending our time as a family. anyway, on to the good stuff! for your viewing pleasure, here are some cute pictures and a GIF image. happy friday!!!!
