Brayden & Livy's first time to the zoo!

Yesterday was such a beautiful day so we took the babies to the zoo. It was lots of fun and they both had a really good time!

What is this world coming to?!?

A couple of weeks ago Alivia & I were in Target buying our normal weekly necessities. I was putting everything up on the belt to check out. Alivia grabbed one of the jars of baby food and threw it on the floor. The bottom of it busted but it was still in the plastic wrapping. I handed it to the clerk and said "I'm sorry, my daughter just dropped this on the floor" She took it and looked at me and said "did you still want it?" I said "No, the jar is broken," and she said "Oh, so you don't want it? Did you want me to put it back?" I said "Um, sure that would be great" Don't you have to have some sort of common sense to get a job these days?!?

THEN-I needed to stop and grab some dinner last week because Rob had a game and we were both runnng late. I stopped by Hardee's thinking they still had fried chicken. I pulled up and didn't see it on the menu so I said to the girl "Do you not have fried chicken anymore?" She said "Spicy Chicken?" I said "Fried Chicken" She said "We have chicken strips." I said "Ya know like a bucket of friend chicken do you not have that??" she said "Oh, no" Then I drove off.

And last but not least... I went with a girl from work to pick up lunch from the diner last friday. I don't know if we didn't notice a low tire or if she ran over something but we got a flat tire. We pulled over on the side of the road. We called AAA and sat on the side of the road for 45 minutes. ONLY ONE PERSON STOPPED TO HELP US!!!! I bet 200 cars passed us while we were sitting there. AAA finally came and got us back on our way I just couldn't believe that only one person stopped. I guess we just figure that everyone has a cell phone these days and we are all too busy to stop and help anyone out!

Kids VS Dogs

I was watching the season finale of Grey's Anatomy the other night-I don't even watch that show but there was so much hype about it I had to watch it. Anyway, they put a dog to sleep and it made me very upset-It just made me think about Tiger & Zeus. Then I got to thinking, having dogs wasn't much different than having kids. Last night Alivia crawled under the table and was eating all of the Cheerios that she had dropped from her high chair. The dogs used to hang out under the table waiting for scraps. When we had the dogs we had to put up a gate on the stairs so they wouldn't go down stairs and use the basement as a bathroom, not exactly the same but we need to put up a gate again so Alivia doesn't fall down the stairs (again!) I'll explain later. When we had the dogs they had to have their nose in the dishwasher as I unloaded it. Alivia does the same. She has to play with the silverware and move the rack back and forth while I'm trying to put dishes in it. I had to watch what I had out on the tables when we had the dogs so they wouldn't knock things down-have to do the same for the baby now. Funny......

So I just knew this would happen, I was in the bedroom folding laundry last night and Rob came in and was looking for something in the hall closet so immediatly Alivia crawls down the hall as fast as she can (which is pretty fast!) I yelled to Rob "You got her?" He said "Yep, she's right under my feet" So a few minutes later I hear the door to the garage close, I wait a second and begin to run down the hall-it was too late she had already toppled down the stairs. Rob came running back in-I cussed him out-She cried for 2 seconds-and that was it!! She probably wouldn't have even cried it she didn't see me freaking out, She is one tough little cookie!!

I'm obsessed!!

I'm totally obsessed with EBay. I've been buying things on there for about a year. Well, last week I began selling things. I can't stay off of there. And it's so dumb, I could just drive up to walmart and buy the things that I bid on ebay. But, there's no excitement in that! I need to bid and try to get the best price and wait for it to come in the mail!! I started out last year and bought some maternity clothes, then I bought some baby clothes and now I bought all of the supplies needed for Alivia's first birthday party. Now, I am selling things and that's even better than buying!! I don't even care if I have to sell something for a penny at least it won't be sitting in my basement anymore. I have all that Avon crap that got sent to me "accidentally" that is all brand new sitting in boxes in my closet. Maybe I can finally get rid of most of it. Now Rob is into it too, which is REALLY BAD!! Sorry, have to go and check my ebay account~

Livy's first cardinal game

We had a very busy weekend! We started off by going to the cardinals game friday night. I probably watched about 5 minutes of the game, if you don't know what I mean please refer to my previous blog about the movies!!! Anyway it was fun. After the game was over we got in the car and drove to Cuba missouri where we stayed the night. We woke up the next morning and drove to Springfield missouri. Rob had a bowling tournament so we made a weekend of it. It was alot of fun and Alivia was so good. As you can see from the pictures she did not care for Fredbird!
