Table Dancing

So I haven't had much to say lately just been SUPER busy..but I feel like my blog is neglected so here's a little story from today:

I go to pick up Bailey from school and when I walk in of course Bailey runs over saying, "Mommy!!"  and making me feel like the best mom because she's smiling and so glad that I am there.  Then I start talking to her teachers and they tell me that Bailey was upset because she was up on top of one of the tables and dancing and they made her get off.  She told them, "My mommy dance on tables all the time."

Seriously.
This is not true.
Where she gets this I do not know.
But I DO NOT DANCE ON TABLES.

I'm pretty sure that they think I am the craziest/worst mom ever.  If you need more evidence look here.


I think soon enough I will have a top ten list of most embarrasing things my child has done/said in public.
That post coming soon, I am sure.

OOOPS

My husband is constantly on the phone.  Constantly.  Unfortunately he can't help it because of his work and even though it is totally annoying it is something that I have had to get used to.  He is busy busy busy all the time and often gets sidetracked.
Which leads me to this:  for Mothers Day he went to the store and got two cards, one for me and one for his mom.  We still have not seen his mom and so the card last night was sitting on the countertop in the kitchen not filled out and not in the envelope yet.  I thought I would read it.  So I did and here is what it said:

MOM, My heart remembers,
I know I get sidetracked (totally)
with all that's happening in my life,
but my heart remembers who it was
who listened to my endless stories,
who held me tight, (awww so sweet)
and assured me there would be other boys, (huh?)
other dances, other friends.. (um pretty sure this was meant for a daughter to give to her mom?)
and so on

I was laughing so hard that I of course ran and told Matt his mistake (because Im sure when he picked this out he was half reading the card and let me guess probably on the phone) and he thought it was pretty funny too.  BUT now I'm so mad that I said anything because it would have been so funny if he would have given that to his mom..
So I guess its dangerous not only to talk on the phone while you drive but also when you pick out cards.

Each week at Bailey's school they have a theme.  Last week the theme was "All about Mommy".  So they did all sorts of stuff that had to do with moms.  One of the things they did was go to each kid and ask them what their mommy's favorite food was.  They put it on a poster and put it on the front door so when you walk into the room its the first thing you see.  It went something like this:


Alivia's Mom:  Asparagus
Zoey's Mom:  Chicken
Tyson's Mom:  Noodles
Sienna's Mom:  Broccoli
and then it went on an on and at the very bottom it says
Bailey's Mom:  French Fries


Seriously, I don't eat french fries that much!!  Rarely unless were at a restaurant and my meal comes with Fries do I eat fries.  So anyways I look like a great influence on my 2 year old right?


The next day when I go to pick her up there is a new poster outside and it says "What I like to do with mommy"


Alivia:  Play outside
Kelly:  Go to the park
Emma:  Cook
Luke:  Play with my toys
Jaden: Read
Bailey: Go to McDonald's


ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!?  Seriously does she want child services to come pick her up and take her away??  We don't even eat there hardly at all and that's her favorite thing to do?  In my defense they did say that she said something else first but they couldn't understand her (which I translated for them and she did say "play outside with chalk)  but since they couldn't understand her they asked her again and she said go to McDonald's.  What can you do?  I guess it is pretty funny!  
Hope all of you moms had a great Mothers Day!!

Week(s) in Review

Lots goin on around here..hopefully will be able to keep up with my blog a little better now!  Here is what has been going on:)

- went out to lunch for Papa's 80th bday!!  He is healthier than I am and he is just amazing..here he is with little miss out at lunch:

- got locked out of the house by my 2 year old the other day.  I ran out in the garage for 2 seconds and closed the door behind me so she wouldn't follow me..I just had to grab something out of the garage that would seriously take 2 seconds.  As she was trying to open the door she somehow managed to lock it...so of course I PANICKED.  I tried and tried to explain to her to turn the little thingy in the middle of the knob.  That did not work.  And so Bailey starts to PANIC.  and CRY.  Which makes me panic more.  So I decide to run to the front of the house where I think I may be able to talk her through opening the front door a little easier.  I try to explain to her how to unlock it while she is screaming and crying "MOMMY I CANT REACH IT!!  COME IN MOMMY! COME IN! "  And then she dissapears.  She decided that she couldn't get me in so she might as well go play.  So I sat there for a few minutes with HUGE carpenter bees swarming over my head because they LOVE my house and if any of you know me you know that anything that flys and stings will send me into straight panic mode as well so that was just the icing on the cake.  Oh and you may be thinking oh I could just call Matt and he could come home and rescue me with his key to the house but nope..we had our locks changed and he still doesn't have the key...we always go through the garage which there is no key for.  So a few minutes pass and I here Bailey coming back to the door so I look through the door and she is dragging her little princess chair behind her and carrying her lamby (aka stuffed animal that looks like lamb)..and she puts her little chair at the door and climbs on top of it and unlocks the door.  This is where I say, CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW SMART MY DAUGHTER IS???? hee hee I am totally being that mom but I don't care because wow I was so impressed and proud:)

-been able to spend lots of time with Nan helping her with stuff..well as you can see maybe we aren't that much help:(

making lunch for her horsies

everyone needs a bib...see I told you we are SO much help to Nan..we help her make messes!

-Fletcher had surgery to remove 3 tumors - 2 were fine and 1 was cancerous so it is being sent away to be tested and all that but we are sure he is going to be just fine!  And he gets to wear a fancy t shirt so he won't mess with his stitches

- went out to lunch with my Aunt Jeri today who was in town from Dallas!  It was so fun spending time with her!  We went to lunch and went shopping..Bailey was with us and she dragged us into this photo booth which was quite the experience and SO funny

- got an ipad!!!  and it is as wonderful as I thought it would be...however I would be lying if I didn't say there are a few things that could be improved upon but just a few.  Seriously it is pretty rad.  And I don't use the word rad lightly:)

-and here are just some pictures of Ms. B just because..

Sad

Wow tommorrow will be one month since I have posted anything...I am slackin big time:(
Unfortunately this month has been sad and hectic.  My grandpa "Ken" passed away a few weeks ago and it has been a sad time for my family.  Nan (my grandma) married Ken in 1984 (so he was technically my step-grandpa which is why I always called him Ken).  He helped me through some pretty difficult and crazy times in my life and I will be FOREVER grateful.  He is the reason I love horses (even though I don't ride them I do LOVE them), he was someone who cared about leaving the world a better place whether that be helping the people he cared about or the animals and wildlife on his farm, and to top it off he thought that my baby girl was one of the most special things in the whole wide world and it makes me incredibly sad to think that he won't get to see her grow up.. we all are missing him a ton..

 

Happier posts to come..but that is why I haven't posted anything in a while..

Shoe Dazzle Dropout

I know I haven't blogged in forever.  Not really a whole lot going on except football and chasing down a 2 year old.

So this might be interesting to a few people (maybe Beth and Jami:) A couple of months ago I joined Shoe Dazzle..its a monthly shoe service.  What they do is when you join you fill out all of this info online about what styles you like/don't like and then based on that every month at the beginning of the month they send you your shoe selections in an email and then you are supposed to choose 1 pair and then they send them to you for $49.00 every month.  And if for some reason you do not like your selections you can "skip" that month.  I thought this would be fun to try because I can not go shopping at all anymore without hearing "Mommy go to CARWOUSEL!!!!! (aka carousel that is at our mall that B is obsessed with).  or "Mommy no shop, NEED MILKSHAKE!!!" You get the picture.  SO, I thought shoe dazzle would be a great way to keep me up to date with shoes without actually having to go the store.  
SO, when I received my first email with my selections I was so excited, kind of like opening a Christmas present!  But when I opened the email my selections kind of scared me.  All of the shoes had 4 inch heels with platforms..which would have MAYBE been ok in my former life pre baby but now why would I wear heels to go to Target.  Hmmm.  So I emailed them and told them maybe when I filled out my selections they interpreted my style wrong?  I said do you have any flats?  More boots?  I stay home with my little girl and am no longer going to places where I would wear anything like you have sent me previously...and here is what they send me instead:

So to be fair they did send me one option that was a pair of flats.  But they weren't for me.  Can't you picture me taking my dog and child around the block in option #1?  SO because of this I'm dropping out.

On a much more exciting note Matt just wrapped up his photo shoot for Bud Light or Budweiser (keep forgetting which one but one of the buds)..they contacted us a few months ago because they needed models and they thought we might know some guys who play/played football and would be perfect for the shoot..and yes we did!  So when you see the point of sale in your local grocery store/bar/restaurant when football season rolls around that just might be my husband..

Last of all I have to post this picture of Bailey and her cousin Ash in there perfectly matching Addidas pink

track suits.  This was not planned.  They just stopped by the other day and Ash was wearing hers and so was Bailey(track suits courtesy of Grammy Sue for Christmas). They kind of look like mini mobsters or Florida Retirees, right?

And I did have a CUTE video of the two of them but for some reason I guess all of my little videos that I take with my camera are too big to upload on blogger. Grrr.  Oh well.
