Father's Day and Baptism

We had our first father's day and Isabella's baptism. Chase had a wonderful first father's day. Isabella gave her daddy his first card. We traced her hand and I helped her write her name since she can't do it on her own. Also she gave him a DVD as her gift. I gave him a season of Supernatural since he really likes that show. We let him sleep in and I took getting up with her if she got up at night. Daddy was nice enough to make this delicious dessert. We grilled out for him and my mom made one of his favorites summer salad. I tried to let him really enjoy his day and relax. Thank you Chase for being the best Daddy to Isabella. I know she appreciates all the play times, bath times and snuggle time you give her. I love how she is always so excited to see you when you get home from a hard day at work. You always have time for her and are so patient with her. You are the best father in the whole wide world. I know you two will always have a special bond.
     We also had Isabella's Baptism yesterday too. We all went to church at first and enjoyed the service. I was a little nervous because Bella has never gone to church with me. She loves to talk and sing now so that made me a little nervous. We sat in back just in case we needed to leave if Bella got too upset. She just looked around and then slept most of the service. It was also so nice to be able to bring my husband to the church were I had all my special memories. It is such a blessing to be able to have Isabella baptized where I was baptized. She talked a little bit during her baptism but she was such a happy baby. She didn't cry during the water being poured on her. She wasn't too sure about father putting oils on her head though. I am so happy that she is now a child of god and I can't  wait to teach all about god and how lucky we are to have him in our lives. It was so nice to have my husband mom and sister able to come up to Chilton. We then went to a restaurant to eat. It was little hard since we had to drive a little more because of the father's day parade. She was such a little ham at the restaurant and had alot of people looking at her. She loved being able to sit in the high chair and look at all the people.
   The rest of the day was great too. She was able to go in the pool and she had so much fun. She is a total water baby. She stayed in there for a long time. She was also very blessed to have received so many nice gifts for her baptism. We are setting up an savings account for her. I believe that is all from yesterday. I apologize for it being kinda all over the place.

Bella and more

Well it has been awhile since I last wrote but I am getting better cause I'm still within the same month. Last night was the first time we put Isabella in her crib. I know it should of probably been done months ago but I just couldn't let my baby girl go. I was an emotional wreck to say the least. I cried at least 3 times at work before I came home. Also cried two times on the way home. I held her a little tighter before I laid her down. I have to say she did great!!! She woke up once and that has been good for her. I also have to say I did pretty good. I only checked on her twice threw the night and only woke up maybe three times to listen to the monitor to make sure that she was ok. She did give me one scare though. I went in to check on her and she was facing the opposite way that I had laid her down. I couldn't figure out for the life of me how she managed that one lol. I think I have a restless sleeper on my hands lol. I think I totally made it out to be worse than it was going to be. We as mothers always want what is best for our children. I just wanted to protect her but I also knew she need to gain her own independence. I think it made me realize just how fast my little girl is growing up. My mom also had to put one of our dogs down this weekend. It was so hard because this dog was like everyone's dog. He was special to everyone he met. I know he is smiling down on us. If you are reading this if you could say a prayer for my parents and us we would all really appreciate it. Bella has found out also this weekend that water makes noise and she loves to splash. I think I might have a  water baby on my hands and I love it. She is now starting to sit up on her own. She is a little wobble yet but I know soon she will be a champ at it. Well my little one is up from her nap so I have to go but I hope to write again soon.

Houses

Well my husband and I have been thinking about it for awhile about looking into buying a house. We would always look around see what there was out there and get really excited but that was as far as we would go. I'm so excited to say that we are starting to finally take steps towards getting a house. We are in the process of getting pre-approved for a loan and I'm so excited. It is going to be so nice to have our own home to call home. I can't wait to have a place Bella can go outside and play in a yard no matter how big or small it might be. That is for sure one of the inconvenience of living in an apartment. Also I like the fact that if I want to vacuum when I get off work I can. Our apartment has quiet time and with me working second that is just not an option. I have two heavy sleepers which is nice when you feel like cleaning late at night lol. Bella is continuing on trying to rollover from her back to belly and is half way there. She is starting to enjoy tummy time more but still isn't a huge fan. Well that is all I have to write for today. Will write soon again.

So much has happen.

Well I have been so terrible at blogging. Since the last time I blogged I have gotten married to my best friend. We had a beautiful daughter on November 2nd,2011. She is now 5 months old and so much fun. She is the sweetest thing you will ever meet. We have fallen so in love with her. It also has made me fall even more inlove with my husband. I'm going to try to blog more often. I just have to work out a schedule that will work for me. I have to get going my little one is hungry. Hope to write again soon.

Saturday Ramblings

Well I'm pretty proud that I have written a few days in a row. I know I don't have a very exciting life, but it is nice to keep a journal to look back on. Last night was the best night of sleep that I have had all week. My husband and I watched some Law & Order season 1 episodes and then he let me watch Ghost Adventures. I appreciate that he puts up with watching some shows I know he could care less about. Well it that time of year again where the shanties go on the lake in the hunt for the sturgeon. I am wishing my family and friends the best of luck and hopefully someone will spear one this year. My family this has always been a big tradition. I wish I was out there but one I don't have a license this year and two my foot is still in a boot and I don't have much balance yet. I am hoping one year I will be able to get my husband out on the lake to experience this tradition. I know that I first have to help him get over his fear of water. He is doing very well but I'm sure it will be awhile before he feels safe enough to want to do that. I told him if he ever wants to I would be happy to teach him to swim or help him enroll into some swimming classes. I remember my first encounter with a sturgeon. My dad had speared one and I was probably 7 or 8 years old and I was screaming that it was a shark. He got a good laugh out of it and I remember being so proud of him and telling everyone about it at school. It is also Valentine's Day weekend. Right now we don't have the finances to do anything really special, but I told my husband just spending time with him was special enough for me. So I'm sure we will be watching some movies and just relaxing. I wouldn't be surprised if he make a special dessert. He decided to work some overtime today so it will be nice to have a little extra money. So I believe that is all I have to write.

can't sleep why not blog

Well this was suppose to be written at 4:23am this morning but for some reason my phone wasn't working with me. Well this was the second night that I hadn't slept well. I was up at 2:30 till 5:30. I had started to toss and turn at 11pm already.The pain reliever I have been taking for my foot just isn't helping at night. So let's hope that tonight is a better night. It was nice that my husband and I were able to sit down and watch some law and order seasons together. I have been trying all day to get paper work faxed to my disability agent, but their phone lines have been going in and out and I seem to always fax when the lines are down. So they just told me to try again Monday. I hope by then the problem will be fixed. Our cats have been pretty good today and not causing too much trouble. I really don't have anything else to talk about. So I will close for now

I haven't blogged in a long time

Well lots has been going on in my life. Since I have last written I have been married. This was the happiest day of my life. My husband and I have been looking at houses and have been trying to start a family. I have been off of work now for 2 months due to injury. I tore my fascia and they found a stress fracture in my foot as well three weeks ago. Yesterday I finally got my cast off and didn't have a new one put on. I'm so happy that it is off. The time has given me the time I needed to get back into books and a new found fondness for netflix ha ha. Last night was one of the worst nights with sleeping. My foot hurt so bad. The tossing and turning didn't help at all either. I took a long bath tonight and it felt amazing. You really start to value a shower or a bath once you can't take one because of a cast. Sponge baths are just not the same. My husband has a new job since the last time I wrote as well and he really enjoys it. I have been so blessed to have a husband like him. He has been doing all of the work around the house since my doctor didn't want me to walk to much when I was in the cast. I haven't heard him complain once and I just don't know how I will ever thank him enough. He was even sweet enough to shave my one leg because he knew I was feeling bad about it being hairy. I know it seems silly. He told me he didn't mind and I actually believe it bothered me more than it did him. He also has been working on all kinds of desserts. He is just becoming an amazing baker. My family is always asking what he will be bring for a family get together. He made black forest delight and some cookies for Christmas and by the end of the night they were all gone. It's so nice to see how happy he is when people are enjoying his desserts. I would have to say the other best thing that has happen since I last wrote was my husband reconnecting with his father and family. It happened on Christmas day. He hadn't talk to his father since high school and was worried about how things ended and that his dad would still be mad at him. I and his step sister told him it would not matter. His father and family was so happy to see him. It seemed like they have not been any time lost. We have done more get together since. He looks so much like his dad and they are so similar they could be twins. They also welcomed me with open arms and that was so nice. I think that is for now. I will be trying to write on a more regular basis.
