You are an IRONMAN

I'm so proud of one of my dearest friends, yesterday evening she crossed the line and became a full fledge IRONMAN, or IRONWOMAN technically.  I video tapped the computer as she and Marco crossed the finish line.  I was about to get mad at the man in the video that was blocking Steph and then you hear me realize its Chad putting the medals around their necks. =)



So proud of them all!!!!

Love this

How cool is this?  A map of the worlds most and least touristy places.  I love this! 

Mommy and Me

The day was a long day. Craig left this morning at 4:30 and as unfortunate as it is, anytime I've been woken up during the night, its virtually impossible for me to go back to bed. DOH! Anywho. Caught up on some on-demand tv that Craig would absolutely never let me watch and then started the morning. I have to say, there is something funny about the age Sydney is right now. She totally understands, but is still having a hard time communicating, and so really not responding too much. I know, I'll dream about this day oh-so soon. In any case, I got ready this morning and waited for her to wake up. Mistake #1. Apparently when you get on the babes time, you end up VERY VERY LATE. But so I waited for her to wake up, not realizing the time. Made breakfast began to feed her and then realized, ooops, I'm already a half hour late for work. DOH! So needless to say from there although we were still rolling at a snail speed, we were in a tid bit more of a hurry. We show up at daycare and she says, "funny how you anticipate dropping her off early, and its the opposite." Mistake #2, probably shouldn't preface the daycare the day before with a "I'll be dropping Sydney off early tomorrow"

Then it was off to work. Met with the new director and worked through all kinds of fun stuff today. Work, work, work. Craig landed and was off to his first round of the insane week with his buddies. I'm so happy for him. I could hear the joy in his voice when he landed and the few times I spoke to him tonight. I'm so glad that he was able to do this. He needed Craig and boys time for sure!

As I'm walking out of work, I realize that its Tuesday and my parents asked if Sydney and I wanted to come for dinner on Tuesday! Sweet. So I scadoodled home to get Syd. Picked up Lina and then off to the rents. We had a great dinner. Sydney was awesome. We played a mean game of hand and foot and guess who won... YEP, me! =) All in all it was a good day.

Now a few things that I would like to have good thoughts about. 1.) Baby Jillian, its time to make your appearance. Can't wait! 2.) Steph and Marco are going to ROCK the ironman this weekend. So excited for them! 3.) Jammy is coming tomorrow for a visit, so we're excited for a girls week.

Okay, i'm exhausted and I finally don't hear a little voice from the monitor. SLEEP AT LAST!

Ciao for now!

LOVE IT

I mean we are totally into Dance dance revolution these days... I'm just saying!



By the way, she walked straight over to that game and got up on there and started dancing. You would have thought she's seen that game 100 times. Kind of crazy!!

Fun day

Today was awesome. Had some good news at work today and then had some fun with Syd after work. We went to Michaels to get some big crayons and ended up trying on some fun hats. Walked up to checkout and the register woman had the biggest smile on her face.



Then Syd was wearing the cutest outfit today. Made me smile! Today was awesome!!





Hub' B-Day

Today is the love of my life's birthday! Yay!!! I gave him his gift! Firepit!! He claims to like it, so yay!

Love you C-ward!




Ideas

It would seem that the last minute gift is upon me.  I have had the idea on what to get Mr. Ward for some time, but have been weeding through what of the idea i should get.  Of course time flies by and the one I think I'm going to get has been nixed by my friends.  GREAT.  What would you do?

Tea party


Momma and Syd had our very first tea party today! :). Too bad there are two broken pieces already. Nothing a little super glue can't fix. Maybe next time I'll use some real liquid instead of pretend :). Or not if everything is glued together. Hahah. I love my girl.

Cute... Say what

Umm guess who gets my vote as the cutest today??







Love her!!!

Sanded and painted

My parents came over this morning and helped us sand and paint the deck. Whooh!! It has been something I've wanted to do since we moved here, and I'm so happy to check it off the list!! Whooh! Looks amazing!
