Brayden's Adventure


Yesterday I'm laying in bed trying to wake up. Like most mornings, I can hear Brayden in the kitchen talking to anyone that will listen. Then I hear something in the bathroom (sounded like the toilet seat got picked up and then dropped) I didn't hear the shower start or the toilet flush so I couldn't figure out what was going on. I got up and opened my door, I looked in the bathroom and Brayden was in there. I look down the hallway and the gate was not on the stairs. I pick him up and I walk into the kitchen-don't see anyone. I look in the living room-noone. I look on the back porch-empty. I'm still half asleep thinking "What the hell is going on? Did he get out of his highchair?!?" I walk downstairs and Amber is asleep in bed. I'm still very confused at this point. Now I'm thinking, did he get out of his crib?!? I walk in Amber's room and wake her up. She wakes up to me standing in front of her holding Brayden. She sits straight up and says "OH MY GOD! I FELL ASLEEP!!" I said "He was upstairs in the bathroom!!"


She had gotten him out of bed and put him in her bed. He climbed off the bed and was playing with his toys and Amber had fallen back asleep. He had crawled up the basement stairs, through the foyer and up the stairs to the living room!!!!!


It's funny how things happen sometimes, because if the gate had been up then he would have turned around and tried to go back downstairs and that could have been bad.


He's such a little monkey!

We're in big trouble...

Rob watched Alivia yesterday because he was off work all day so instead of paying a babysitter he got to spend some quality time with his daughter. Starting last week, when you ask Alivia a yes or no question she will actually answer it. It's the cutest thing. So, yesterday I thought I would find out what happened while I was gone all day:

Me: Alivia, did you have a good day with daddy?
Alivia: Yah!!
Me:Did daddy keep an eye on you all day?
Alivia: Noo!
Me:Did he sleep all day while he was supposed to be watching you?
Alivia: Yah!!
Me: Did you get into things that you were supposed to?
Alivia: Yah!!!

I told Rob about what she said and he says that she's a liar!!

I'm going to have alot of fun with this new trick!

Oh and also, if you ask her how old she is she will hold up one finger!!

It's fate...

A few months ago when I got the lincoln (yes, before i totalled it) rob was driving my escalade and decided that he didn't want to be seen with my "LTL AMY" license plates. I had those plates ever since the 97 tracer!! I really didn't want to put them on the lincoln but wasn't quite ready to completely do away with them yet. So I kept putting it off. One day (after rob yelled at me AGAIN for not getting it done yet) I finally brought myself to do it. I went to the license office and told her I needed new plates-she then asked me why. So I had to explain that my husband didn't want to be seen with them and I wasn't very happy about it. So then she says "Ok, since you just renewed them I will either need the plates back or you will need to pay for a new set" Well I certainly didn't want to pay for a new set so I pouted for a minute and told her I would just give them back. I had to then go to the parking lot and take them off the car (SOOO NOT MY JOB) I brought them back in, pouted again and the woman said "Did you want a minute?" I'm thinking this is really dumb THEY'RE JUST LICENSE PLATES!!! She got the new ones from the shelf and to my suprise the first three digits of the new plates were "4AS" now to some people this wouldn't mean anything but to me it meant alot because I am one of three daughters who's name starts with A and my daughter's name starts with A (making-4 A's) I was very excited and I got over the old dirty plates very quick. I went home and pointed out the coincidence to my husband who was less than thrilled.

So, yesterday I went to register the malibu (which i've had since the beginning of november!) and she got the new plates out and the first three digits were "8AS" I'm not exactly sure what the relavence is there but none the less I was excited! I'm very easily amused!!!

For my husband....

I wrote this for my husband to remind him of how much I love him.....


When you're in love with someone you choke up everytime you listen to the song that you walked down the aisle to and you listen to it all the time because you love to be reminded of how you felt at that moment looking into the eyes of your future.

When you're in love with someone you consider your anniversary date your lucky number.

When you're in love with someone you will tickle them until they fall asleep because they asked you to and you find a sense of peace in doing it

When you're in love with someone you can't wait to have a child with them and then when you do you can't wait to have another.

When you're in love with someone you will get them cookies and milk at 10:30 at night because they asked you to and if you had said no it would have been ok.

When you're in love with someone you smile every time you hear them giggling at the tv in the other room

And finally, when you're in love with someone it takes less than 5 minutes to jot down all of the reasons that you're in love with them because you didn't have to think about it at all.

In case you didn't figure it out-I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU SILLY! I love you with all of my heart and soul through thick and thin for better or worse I am your wife and I wouldn't have it any other way :)

Where do the boogers go?

At alivia's last dr's appt the doctor asked me "How long has she had the runny nose?" I replied "Since the day she was born!" Well, lately everyday when I pick her up from the babysitter we have to do booger surgery for 15 minutes-let me tell ya-she loves it! I'm kind of obsessed, I don't like my beautiful daughter to have anything disgusting in her ears or nose-at any time!! Whenever she does I call her trailer park! Anyway yesterday I was telling my husband about the marble sized thing that I pulled out of his daughter's nose-and he says "If you don't get them out then how do they get out?" "THEY DON'T-now you see why I'm constantly picking at her!" He thinks about it for a second and says "They have to come out eventually" "I really don't think so babe and even if they do, i'm not letting her walk around like that to find out!!!" Don't worry, it runs in the family, Brayden is booger free too!
