Took A Little Break

From blogging....BUT I AM BACK!!!

Actually, the break was not planned or intentional; I am just a mommy of two little girls and I got busy!!

As an update to my last post....work was good...not much going on. AND, I was not late, I was actually 5 minutes early!

Well, what have we been doing? Um...let's see...

Lauren's first official day of church was May 17th! (OUCH...for some unknown reason, Rachel just came and bit my arm!!!! She has never done that before!) Anyway, Lauren did really well. I actually missed the sermon because I had to go feed her...we will get schedules figured out eventually! =) Here is a picture from that day...yes, I know my face is shiny - I need to switch my face wash back to combination to oily skin - my skin changes so much when I am pregnant...anyway, here is the picture....


Rachel has been sick. She woke up on Monday Tuesday morning with 103 temperature. She was complaining of her back hurting. I took her to the doctor yesterday and she has a virus. They did an in-and-out urine catheter on her which she HATED and it all came back normal. The doctor just said she probably has a virus that causes fever and should go away in a few days. She did say to give her Claritin to see if it clears up her yucky nose. I gave her 1 dose yesterday and her nose was clear for the remainder of the day! Maybe she just has allergies! That's good news!!!

I ordered a new camera and I am SOOOO excited!!! I have been looking at a few because mine just isn't a good camera..not for taking pictures and it doesn't have video capabilities which I really wish it did so I could download videos here and on dropshots. SO....I got the Canon Powershot SX110IS...pictured here...

I ordered it from a website that had GREAT pricing (thanks, Krista!). I am just waiting for it to arrive....can't wait to play with it.

Brice switched cell phone carriers to AT&T so now we are both with the same providers which makes things a little more convenient. He got a new phone and I was not eligible for an upgrade yet...BOOOOO!!!! I want a new phone so bad! I HATE mine! It is pretty but that is about all it has going for it! I can upgrade again right before my birthday so maybe this time I will get a cool one! =)

*Baby crying....I'll finish later*

Okay, this baby refuses to take a nap during the day in her bed!! She will sleep in the bouncy seat and the swing and in bed with me but not in her bed. SO FRUSTRATING! But as I have said in the past, she sleeps all night so I really need to stop complaining!!! But, isn't she cute?

I have been having migraines lately...I had 3 in one week and never had them before. I need to visit the doctor to see what is going on. I am thinking it might be because my back is in such bad shape. My neck is hurting REALLY REALLY bad...I can't even move it in a certain direction because of the pain. I did the same thing after I had Rachel...childbirth is hard on the neck and back!!! I am thinking about checking out some massage places....

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
