St. Patti's Day

This St. Patricks day we invited friends over for a game night/watched the jazz game and ate yummy treats thank to Pinterest, made this and this. 
If you haven't played ''Things'' it's a must with the friends, so funny!




If it's not the binkie in her mouth it's her fingers..

Can you tell these two are related?

MJ

More hair than I had at this age! 

"Seriously mom.. more pictures??"

Always has her fingers in her mouth!


bahaha love this face


Yay for photoshop! Other wise you would see my face covered with zits

Mama needs some new shoes

Beware this is pretty sick...as in gross

Thanks to DSW for having some clearance shoes and Ryan for finding me some new work shoes

Going from drab and disgusting


                  to fab
and yes the old shoes went in the garbage as soon as we got home

Awful/ Awesome

Awful:

- Gotta love ''mom brain''
  After paying for items at the store, having the cashier come after you saying you paid but didn't take your items with you.  awesome.

-Going back platinum blonde and still have the hormones from pregnancy leaving my body so I have strands of pure yellow hair, yeah I'm sexy and I know it.

- Breaking out has gone from bad to worse. I officially have lost all self esteem. Put some glasses and braces on me so I can just claim to be a teenager..

- While clipping MJ's nails, she moved and I clipped her skin! Talk about making me feel like a horrible mom with the bottom lip pouting out and the cries

-I always wondered how on earth do moms lose baby socks? yeah I judged. Well today MJ kicked off one of her socks while we were out and about, dang girl! On the upside it's nice out so I'll just keep her barfoot till her summer shoes fit

Awesome:

-MJ is more than taken care of in the clothes department till next Summer. The girl has better style than me!

- She never cries or wines just because. She is such a good baby and only cries when she needs to be changed or is hungry.

- Went out yesterday and it was gorgeous! I'm loving this warmer weather and taking out the stroller

-MJ is growing some hair! No more miss baldy

-I love having 2 days off in a row from work

Awful/ Awesome

Awful:

The aftermath from feeding MJ formula, not a happy camper for the next 24 hours. poor girl!

Still frustrated that she will only nurse while using a shield

Realizing who your true friends are, and that they are hard to come by these days.

Sleeping with my retainer for the first time in MONTHS...ouch

Going to Bikram Yoga and feeling that squishy post pregnancy tummy in the way. Go Away please!


Awesome:

Trying out Bikram Yoga for the first time! Hard but feels so good! If i could afford it I would so go all the time

Spent all day yesterday cleaning, organizing our home. Feels so good to have a nice clean home again!

Bought Zumba for the wii and danced my bumb off, Spring is around the corner and I can't hide behind pants and sweats for much longer nor use the excuse ''I just had a baby''

I'm a believer

One word:
Wubbanub

What exactly is a "Wubbanub" you ask? It's amazing is what it is. That is if your baby loves binkies and some how their little hands seem to always get in the way of their mouth and then the crying begins till you put the magical plug back in.

Ryan thought it was joke when I said I was going to buy one. Well what do you know... her first night with it she woke up ONCE! it was awesome I tell ya. Rather than waking up at midnight, 3 am, again at 6 am. And talk about miracle worker while driving! No more stretching my hands and cranking my back and neck to find the lost binky in her car seat.


Welcome to the family ''Ella Bella''

Awful/Awesome

Well I'm a day late. But, that's because I was barely home yesterday.

Awful:

Getting a text from my sister saying she had MJ because my dad had taken my mom to the hospital due to cooking oil burns on her hand.

Mary's possible hemangioma has gotten bigger...Looks like she'll have to have it tested when we go to the dermatologist next month.

Dealing with people from medicaid, hospitals. I could go off on a huge rant about that subject.

Getting cut on my leg and hand by a loose piece of glass from my shattered phone.

Having to deal with a shattered phone because there is no way I'm paying half the cost of the phones value to fix the dang screen.

Awesome:

MJ giggled for the first time yesterday! Granted it was during her food/sleep coma. But it was pretty much the cutest thing ever.

Volunteering to clean the Salt Lake temple with Ryan. Such a great experience and wonderful feeling being there.

Having prayers answered and feeling a huge weight lifted off our shoulders with MJ's unexpected visit to Primary Children's Hospital after she was born.

Hanging out with our group of awesome friends. We always look forward to our game nights with them.

Our ward was split last week, we're sad to say goodbye to so many great people there but we look forward to this change and know it was needed and that it will be just as great as it was before.
