some random thoughts

::  brian's new company is really taking off, and i'm really proud of him {and his partner}

::  baby has been on expensive special formula {that smells like cat food} for her poo problem, and it's working. soooo, now i am attempting to go off dairy in hopes that she can handle breastmilk. for the last 6 days i've been trying unsuccessfully to remember that i can't have dairy. it's so hard. i remember the obvious stuff like cheese and milk, but i forget about all the other things that contain small amounts of dairy.

:: i'm still dying over "shooter" from the bachelorette. if you're watching you know who i'm talking about. some people...

:: i haven't posted many pictures of the projects brian has done around our house, but someday i will. this is one of my very favorite things that he's done, and it just so happens to be one of the simplest and cheapest!

It's a laundry folding table, incase you couldn't tell. don't know why i love it so much, but i do. i actually enjoy folding laundry in there.

::  i have been listening to nothing but taylor swift for the last month. over, and over, and over. it's finley's favorite, and she sounds so adorable singing along. last week while we were driving she said, "thank you, God for taylor swift".

:: adalaide is giggling. it is the cutest thing in the whole. wide. world. i love her.

a birthday celebration for mimi

This weekend we celebrated my mom's birthday. The weather held out {barely} so we spent the morning at the fremont farmers market, and then came back to our house for a little birthday dinner.

{someone sure loves her baby sister}

a lot of randomness

man, oh man we've had a great weekend. brian was around, and the weather was beautiful-what more could you ask for! finley and i kicked off the weekend with a little tea party. when she woke up from naptime we got dressed up and had delicious treats out in the sun.

i pretty much loved every single picture i took of her, and since i'm sensing this is going to be a loooong post, you can check out the rest in the online album.

this little cutie woke up to join us

friday night we were snuggling with the girls in our bed. brian got caught up in the moment and suggested that finley have a sleepover in our bed. i had other plans for the night {i.e. catching up on lots of our shows in bed} but it was a night i'll never forget that's for sure. she's never slept with us, so she was absolutely giddy. She probably told me 20 times that i was "the best mommy in the whole wide world". and despite the fact that she used my face as her pillow, it was totally worth it.

finley made me out of play dough. this is the first time she's ever made a person that actually resembles a person. don't mind the fact that i have a tail. and don't mind that it appears i'm giving the middle finger...

just being adorable

another one of brian's crazy ideas was to set up our new pool. you know, because it was hotter than 60 degrees out.

of course it was a big hit. she kept screaming, "summer is here!!!".

whew, that was a lot. can you believe we fit the zoo and church somewhere in there too?!
