Snippets

1. We are in the middle of "June gloom" and I am so freaking sick of it! I just want to play in the sun! I had forgotten about this nasty little month in SOCal. I worked when we were out here before so the gloom was usually "burnt off" by the time I got off work. We spent May in the sun using copious amounts of sunscreen. Now we're lucky to see an hour or two of sun in the evening. Blah! I want a beach day!
2. Madelyn will not say Momma, Mama, Mommy, or anything else that resembles a maternal name. Everything is Da! Except Chris who is Dadee! or Dad! Chris can get a Ma Ma out of her every now and then, but not regularly.
3. This morning Madelyn went pee pee in the potty! We haven't begun formally potty training her but every morning when she wakes up, after nap, and before bath we go sit on the potty and this morning she finally peed! I'm so proud of her! We had to call Daddy to tell him.
4. Just in case there was any doubt of Madelyn being a Daddy's girl she has been carrying around a picture of us from the ball and pointing at him and saying "Dadee!" and grinning for the past 2 days. This started because after 20 minutes I got tired of standing in the hall at our family pictures letting her pick him out and saying "Da?"

5. On Wednesday Madelyn had a dr appt regarding her kidney reflux and I didn't care for the doctor or his plan for treatment. I'm fighting for a second opinion now. She was very uncomfortable/unhappy at the appointment so I resorted to doing anything I could to distract her...
Don't you just love that little scrunch nose? I love it. I'm going to go kiss it now.
6. After the doctors appointment we made an impromptu visit to the zoo! It was a lot of fun, I think Madelyn enjoyed it and we were able to renew our membership so we can go back whenever we feel like it! I love being able to just pop in and not feel like we have to see everything.

OK, so there were more zoo pictures than I thought so I guess I'll do a whole post on just the zoo.

I want to kiss that nose too! It's adorable. What is on her ears anyway? Is it one of those eggs from the Great Dino Hunt? Emmalyn lost rights to hers when the big kids spotted them.

We will have to head to the zoo, we have season passes too.

Potty training!! I'm so jealous. Kiersten is so afraid of it. We even have a Dora potty seat that goes on our toilet. Waiting now for the Dora potty training book that has a flushing button, then are going to enlist Elmo's help. Daddy's tired of diaper duty! lol
She looks adorable!

Where to start?

This is a welcome home sign that somebody put up on base. I'm sure the Marine recognizes himself in the picture as do all the Marines that know him. There is just so much wrong that I don't know where to start. Is this sign from a jealous girlfriend and wifey's on the bed of a pick-up truck on her way to Mexico to be sold into slavery? Is this sign from his brother who took "care" of wifey while he was deployed? Is this just a sign from the wifey who likes to advertise that she is lazy and fat and probably has cracker crumbs and bugs in the bed because this sign has been up for several weeks. I won't even get started on "the ice", like there's only one ice? I bet it melted really quick. Maybe it's on the ice in Alaska? Or on the ice on the boat that she bought with deployment money and is sailing around on with the brother? OK, it's making my brain hurt because it doesn't rhyme or flow. It's just a bunch of statements on ...

All Dressed Up!

It's All Dressed Up Wednesday with No Model Lady It's just a fun day for us to get dressed up and share it with the internets.  Today I did a little casual outfit that I've been thinking about for a while.  It's not super creative, but I LOVE this shirt and scarf combo.  Feeling pensive in the backyard. Feeling like a picture with heels sinking in the grass! This outfit was really all about the shoes.  Because it's always all about the shoes. This is how silly I felt posing in my backyard with a mirror propped against our glider bench. Shirt and scarf combo: Kohls Jeans: Levis skinny Shoes: Macy's clearance Earrings: Charlotte Russe Bracelet: a gift from my lovely Denise Did you play?  Wanna Play?  Head over to No Model Lady and link up!
