Moved...

We have moved! We don't have internet yet, so it may be a little while before I get to post some more stuff! Hang in there people...don't forget about us!

Wordless Wednesday...

Candy Canes, Oven Mitts and Cinnamon Rolls...

Candy Canes!



Oven mitts!



Cinnamon Rolls!

Aydia talks to Grammy...

Grammy's calling...
Me: "Aydia, Grammy is calling, do you want to answer the phone?"
Aydia: "Ya!!!" Picks up the phone.
"Hi Grammy!"
Grammy: "Hi Riley!"
(Aydia is sounding so old these days, I don't blame you for thinking it was Riley!)
Aydia: "It's Eydia!"
Grammy: "Oh, hi Aydia, how are you?"
Aydia: "Riley went poo poo on the potty, YAY!"

Ha, this cracked me up! Can you tell what is a big deal in our house these days?!

A day in the life of a firefighter's wife!

Josh is at work. The girls have been sick, whiny, tantrum throwing, disobeying, backtalking, crazy little chickens. I needed to get out of the house. Here is what we did!

Meds for the girls and us. And some Mrs. Meyer's cleaning supplies for the new house! Super excited about them! Oh, and a Christmas gift!


Christmas Shopping!


The "Big D" hit both the girls...


Lunch! A totally good way to pass an hour! Grilled Cheese and Apple Juice!



Oh, it's back...


Bought the wrong size...exchange!


AHHHH, seriously, back again...I do not want to wipe another butt...of course, I will...


Get in the car. Riley is coughing and wheezing really bad. Call Josh..."what do I do?" "Bring her up here, we can check her out." What, free health care! Ok! Here we go...

She had to get a breathing treatment. Of course, we can't go see daddy without seeing the fire truck, jumping on daddy's bed, looking in his locker, eating some candy, and hanging out with the guys.
Home, nap, dinner, bed! Pretty successful/productive day.
What did you do today?

oh, 2 year olds!

Ya know that song that goes, "Oh by gosh, by golly..."? It came on in the car today and Riley says, "Mom, did you hear what that song said?"
"Yes Riley, I heard what it said."
"It said, oh my gosh, my goodness!"

Question Monday...

Question: "What is one of your most embarrassing moments?!"

My answer: There have not been many times where I felt embarrassed, but I would say one would be when I was 14, my sisters and bff EG went to this little pool/waterpark and I went down this slide and swam over to the side, hopped out and looked back towards the water and noticed someone's top had come off. I laughed that that happened to someone and then wondered why everyone was staring at me...oh, that is my top!

Come on, don't be afraid to share!

What?

Aydia comes into the kitchen.

Aydia: "Mom, I want mo ceos, peas." (translation: "Mom, I want more cereal please.")

Me: "Ok." Get her some. "Here you go."

Aydia: "Tak u! I gunna go watch tb, ok?"

Me: "Um, ok, you do that!"

What? You're going to go watch tv? You crack me up!

Wow...

I am worn out. Aydia is not feeling good and she is being quite a handful. I feel bad for the girl, she is just miserable, but the whining and tantrum throwing over every little thing is really getting tiresome for me. She just got bit by an ant and just FREAKED forever...wow.

Anyways, enough of a pity party for me. One day Josh and I both had doctor's appointments, so we took turns with the girls. I took them to Chick Fil A and took these pictures!




On another note, the inspection on our house went really good. The electrical work is pretty old and not up to code. We asked them to fix it and they came back and said they would give us $1000.00 cash, so we are going to take it. Josh has a friend who said he could do it for us for just the cost of the materials, so that helps! Next we close on the 17th and then move in! I am SO excited! I am so ready to live in our own house and just be the 4 of us! It has been WAY too long! I am not very good at waiting when there is a new transition in our lives about to happen...that in between time is difficult for me, so that is what will be going on with me the next 2 weeks or so! If anyone wants to help us move, let me know...it will be on the 19th!

My fam is coming to town for Christmas and I am so excited! They will get to hang with us at our new place! Couldn't have worked out any better! I just looked at pictures of the Potter Thanksgiving, and it kinda made me sad...I miss them. Especially around the holidays. Don't get me wrong, I have TONS of fun with the Brock's, it is just that I spent 20 years of holidays with the Potter's and so I miss them around these times! Love you guys!

So, we have a plethera of ants here at this house we are in. It is annoying. I find them everywhere. I want to scream curse words at them and I want them all to die. What is their purpose? To make people miserable? I am pretty convinced it is.

Josh is off today, so I am excited for that. He works again tom, so if anyone wants to hang, let me know!

The not wordless part of Wednesday...

Driving home from the bank...

Riley: Very frustrated,"Why are you always itching me nose?"

Wordless Wednesday...bedhead!

Surprise date!

Josh took me out on a surprise date! He had a day off and made all the plans on his own! He got his mom to babysit (overnight!) and told me what to pack! First, we went to lunch at El Fenix! Yummy!

Then shopping at the Galeria!

Next, off to our secret destination!

We pull up and I see this...

Josh says: "There is a waterpark!" I say a little nervously: "Oh, is it open?" Josh: "Yes!" Me: "It's going to be cold!" Josh: "It is an indoor waterpark!" Me: "YES, I was a little nervous about that!"
We go check in and get to our room!

We put on our bathing suits right away and headed for the waterpark! We were there for 2 hours! It was freakin awesome! I love being a kid! They had a bunch of slides that we could ride together in a tube, so that was pretty wicked! We had SO much fun at the waterpark! Of course, we couldn't stop talking about how much our girls would love it (they had a cute little kid section) and when we could bring them! We decided we were pretty hungry, so we went back to our room to get ready for dinner!

We ate there at the lodge and then got some ice cream and went back to our room to watch a movie! Josh got a chocolate shake and I got peppermint ice cream in a waffle cone with real bits of peppermint in it! Yum!

While watching a movie, we both fell asleep on the couch around 9:30...how lame is that?!
Sunday morning, we went off to a movie...The Changeling! I liked it!

We had such a fun time together! We actually have not been able to do anything like this since our honeymoon, so it was time! We are definitely not going to wait 3 years to go on a little vacation together ever again!
Thank you Josh for the wonderful weekend! (He actually just read my blog for the first time today! Hey, love you!)
