sleeping beauty

I took this picture this morning with my cell phone, she looked so cute, sleeping in her big girl bed!! There isn't really too much going on at our house, we are still working on the bathroom. All of the plumbing is done, Rob is working on getting the rest of the drywall down so he can put up the new walls we bought last week. Alivia continues to crack me up every single day. We ordered pizza last night and Rob was downstairs when it came. I said "go tell daddy that the pizza is here and it's time to eat" She stood at the top of the stairs screaming "DADDY... HUNGRY??!...PIZZA" and each time she said it she got louder and louder. It was hilarious. We took Rob's cavalier to get an inspection because the tags are due. It ended up costing $378. I'm pretty sure the car isn't worth that much. That's all I got

I got the brilliant idea to take the front rail off of alivia's bed over the weekend. I figured she's two, it's time. It's been going really good. The first night she woke up at midnight and was standing in the doorway to our bedroom with her blanket-cute as can be. So we let her in our bed. The second night she came in at 4 and this morning she came in our room at 6. So, by tommorrow we should be good to go!!

Rob was supposed to be on jury duty today (sorry rachel!!) He wasn't really looking forward to it but he did get to sleep in 3 hours today!! He got ready and drove up there, checked in, and they told him it was cancelled!! He was very excited!! He's going to get his work car inspected and all that good stuff today.

So, I'm not too thrilled about it but I'm going to attempt my fruit diet again-just for a month. We're going on a float trip in just about a month so I figured that was a good incentive. I started yesterday and lost two pounds already!! Rob said he would eat fruit with me at night. I was making a huge fruit plate for dinner last night and I was cutting up strawberries and he said "Can we dip those in chocolate?" I said "YOU can" he hesitated and said "Ok I won't....well I'll try"

That's about it for now.......

Birthday Madness....

Well I officially have a two year old. I can't believe it seems just like yesterday!! Speaking of yesterday. I took off work to spend the day with Alivia for her birthday. We got an early phone call that my cousin and his wife had their baby. They weren't supposed to have him until today (07/17) but she went into labor early and had to have him yesterday. Amber, Ashley and I went to the hospital to visit. As we were getting on the elevator some people got off and I said to Amber "That looks like Anthony" (the son of a friend of hers) She said, "his mom must be here having her baby" When we got up to the maternity floor we got off the elevator and a guy from my work was standing in the waiting room I said "Are you guys having your baby today?" they were. We went and saw my cousin's baby and walked up and down the halls, she wanted to try and find her friend and I wanted to find the guy from my work. I ran into ANOTHER girl I know from the bowling alley that was extremely pregnant!!! It was so weird to see so many people that we knew in the same place. Alivia's party went so well.The weather was great and I think everyone had a really good time.

I'm trying to call around and confirm everything for the big birthday party on sunday. I'm so excited and the weather is supposed to be nice. This birthday party went from "let's have a combined party for jack and alivia's birthday " to "did you call and confirm the k-9 demonstration!!" it's gotten a little out of hand but it's going to be a blast. It's now officially been 7 days since i've had a/c at my house. You just don't realize what a luxury that is until you don't have it for a week!! Hopefully they will get the part they need today and we can get it fixed today or tomorrow. I know the people at the warranty company and the a/c company hate to hear my voice on the other end of the line. I figure, hey, if i'm sweating, i'm gonna make your life miserable too!! I kept anthony and jack all weekend. alivia and jack got along great and played together all weekend. We went to alex and brady's first baseball game too, which they won by the way. Rob and I went to a cooking class at dierbergs with my mom and dad on saturday night it was a good time and great food. Today is my little sister's bday. I can't believe she is 18. I'm pretty sure she should stay 8 forever. we're going to dinner tonight to celebrate. Amber told her she would get her a tattoo for her bday but she could only get it on her foot because amber doesn't want ashley to have a tattoo on her back for amber's wedding. Who cares what ashley's wants, it's only her body, it is all about amber ya know. I thought that was funny and then ashley asked if amber would get one with her and amber told her no!! Alivia is talking so good, I can't believe it, we can actually have mini conversations with her. This morning I was in her room trying to find some clothes to put on her and she was in my bed and she said "Mommy?" I said "What baby?" she said "where are you?" I said "i'm in your room" she said "okay" I really cannot believe she's gonna be two already.

So, I went to a purse party on Friday night. I bought a purse, a wallet and a very cute travel bag. I will be having a party on August 17th at my house. I'm not usually into that kind of stuff but everything was really cute so i'm excited about having my own party. Saturday one of our friends came over and completely re-did all of the bathroom plumbing for both upstairs bathrooms. I'm pretty excited about that. We had the old cast iron plumbing-now it's all updated to PVC. The bathroom is coming along-the sub floor is down so now Rob can start the drywall, that should be interesting! This week is going to be crazy. I'm watching Jack and Anthony this weekend so that should be fun! If I don't blog before then, hope everyone has a safe 4th!
