Cruise March 2014

Avery Went on her first cruise in March... This was my first cruise too! I absolutely loved it! Traveling with a 1 year old is not the most relaxing vacation you can have but it was certainly fun! We went on this trip with our family. It was a great time to visit and catch up! Here are some pictures of our trip.

Avery's First time at the Ocean

 Rotan.....I could go there again! I loved this place!

Avery and her grandparents!! 

Peek-A-Boo

Avery Now loves to play hide & seek.... Her version.... Hide in the pantry....

"If I can't see you, then, you can't see me."

Pure Innocence.


"Avery, put the can of food back in the pantry."
 

 
She hides.

 
"Where's Avery? There she is!"

Long time.... No post.....

 
It is quite embarrassing how long it has been since I last posted...
Not days or even weeks, but months..... 

How does that happen... We'll I'll tell ya.... 

New baby, old job stress, new job transition, new baby turns one,
During this time I also became a teacher, no, not your usual school teacher or college professor,
 but a teacher of many things.....

I have become familiar with the phrase: "little girls don't act like that," "are you hungry?,"
And our big headliner "go to your room if you are going to act like that." 

When family and friends said "get ready parenting is wonderful and hard." 
I took that to heart. I believed them. But as every new mom says "they were right...."  
SURPRISE! You knew that was coming. 

Avery is now getting to the age that her learning takes new turners every day. I am going to do better at sharing her comical learning points with you!
 
So, to get a feel for what you are going to be reading about let me describe what kind of little lady she is..... Very laid back. She can hang with the best of them when it comes to piling on the couch to veg out and watch tv, but not to be fooled. When it comes to watching a kids show, alone, forget it. Most of the time she rolls all over the place before getting comfortable.
At the end of the movie nonetheless. 

She is the kind of girl who thinks you need a tissue because you are sneezing... Her solution, grab the end of the toilet paper in the bathroom and unroll it till she either runs out or makes it to you.
Thoughtful. I know. A mess, oh yes!

I also plan to share things I am baking... making.... and just plain find interesting....

I think I will call this my "Re-introduction to spilling my guts blog." Yes. I think that will work...

Gift Giving Motto

I heard a quote the other day that I would sure like to start using to give Avery a a good variety of gifts for birthdays or Christmas....

Something they want, something they need, something to wear, something to read!

Halloween 2013


This has been a great year. We are rounding first base.... Halloween! It's been a lot of fun planning and executing Avery's first Halloween! Once I finally decided on a costume the waiting began.... Waiting on the costume to arrive and then for the big day! Avery was such a trooper! For a little girl who's nap was thrown off schedule she really did great! Good tempurment! We made just very few stops because of the threat of severe weather and wanted to get home before it hit! 

At the bank we took part in a friendly competition between the different branches of the bank! Each branch dressed up as something different. Our branch choose 60's hippie! It was so much fun! Although our branch did not win, it was so much fun! 

Here are some pictures from our day:
















Oh yeah....I hung out with Jimmie all day....we go way back....

Hay Fever

As you know, my family went to Beggs Family Farm last Sunday.... All last week I suffered with allergies.... It progressively got worse and my eyes were so blood shot, I thought I need to go to the doctor....

Symptoms....

Hay fever signs and symptoms usually start immediately after you're exposed to a specific allergy-causing substance (allergen) and can include:
  • Runny nose and nasal congestion
  • Watery or itchy eyes
  • Sneezing
  • Cough
  • Itchy nose, roof of mouth or throat
  • Sinus pressure and facial pain
  • Swollen, blue-colored skin under the eyes (allergic shiners)
  • Decreased sense of smell or taste
I have endured all of these... (Mayoclinic.com)

I have been prescribed... nasal spray, steroids, allergy meds, and strangest of all... A nylon sock with old fashioned white rice heated in the microwave for my eyes....

I will give props to my doctor.... This combination has helped but I will be so ready for this to end! :0


Oh fall... It's such a love/hate relationship!

Happy Fall Y'all!
