HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Craig is older today. He is a wonderful husband and father. I could name a million reasons why I love him. He is caring, loving, patient, hilarious and pretty awesome if you ask Daisy and me.

He loves his family!

He loves his big lizard!

... AND he loves dressing up for Halloween!!! What more could a girl ask for!!

Happy Birthday Craig!

Happy 1st Birthday Daisy!!

Daisy turned 1 on Thursday July 2. We had a party for her on Sunday. Devan made her a special dress and I made her the crown. She had a lot of fun!

She especially loved the cake Chelsea made for her! We love this cutie girl!!!

my funny girl...

...is so cute in the tub and only wants to stand up.
...likes to give me bites while I feed her.
...rests her foot on her tray.
...loves the camera.
...makes funny faces.
...loves her daddy.

I love my Nieces!

Ava and Remi spent the night at my house last week. We had so much fun! We watched The Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty. Here are a few pics:

We went to the park. Daisy did not like the slide!I curled their hair. They were soooooo excited to share my Snuggie!!
Daisy loved having them over and so did I!!

Sorry... no pictures

As my wonderful mom said I normally ignore tags because I just don't want to be a "tag person"(not that its a bad thing). I am supposed to write 6 true things about myself, so ready or not here I go:

1.) I am a big worrier, a big "What-if-er". A BIG one. I know that "worrying never solved anything" and what-if's really don't help, but I can't help it. I don't think that I worry toooo much about the little stuff but I do worry. My worries are set off by my crazy imagination. I can't help it, my mind starts exploding into the unimaginable. I am trying to think of an example but I am worried that what if you think its dumb than you will never want to be my friend again and you will think I'm stupid (just kidding (I was worried that you wouldn't know that I was kidding))....now I am worried that you will think I use too many parenthesis.... (now I am woried that you will think I am dumb because I can't spell)

2.) I LOVE Seinfeld, and so does Craig (what do you think made me fall in looove with him). We have an Iguana named Cosmo and a baby who's hair looks like Kramer's hair when I don't put it in a pony (not on purpose I swear)*. I am always thinking of quotes from the show that I could fit in my everyday life but I don't always say them out loud. I could watch it everyday, all day for the rest of my life and be perfectly happy.

3.) I have a wonderful family. Seriously, families don't get any better than mine. I have the best husband ever, the cutest baby daughter, awesome parents, hilariously fun sisters, fantastic nieces and nephews who I love like my own. I love them so much. I am so lucky to know that I never have to worry (although you know I still will) about anything because I know they will be there whenever I need them .

4.) I hate my job. Big surprise. I have worked there for 6 years because I kept getting raises and I need health insurance....and groceries. I don't want to brag but I am pretty good at my job. Don't you hate being good at something that you don't love doing.

5.) Whenever I watch tv or a movie or anything I always make the facial expressions that the actors are making. I don't know why I do this. I think it is because I wonder how I would do it if I was the one acting. I also repeat things the actors say, not out loud, silently to myself. Just ask Devo. I'm crazy... I know.

6.) I don't like talking about or trying to think of things to write about myself.

I hope you don't think that I think the "glass is half empty". I am actually a happy person. If this was boring to read...sorry. I am not going to tag anyone...sorry. Or you're welcome.

Okay here is a cute pic of Daisy at the zoo, I couldn't resist:

More funny places where Cosmo has fallen asleep. -By Craig

Run Cosmo... Run!!

Daisy and Cosmo were both crawling around on the floor

and this is how it went.

First they were both minding their own business.

Then, Daisy spotted Cosmo...

and they were off...

Daisy got Cosmo's tail but I saved him.

I know some people think Cosmo is scary

but I was more scared of Daisy getting Cosmo

than the other way around.

Gotta love those kids!

Daisy gets her teeth brushed!

Daisy loves to get her teeth brushed. She only has two bottom teeth so far but I brush them everyday. When I bought her a toothbrush I was prepared for a crying baby. She actually liked it (or at least she was smiling). Yay for clean teeth!

Daddy's little girl!

Daisy's first Christmas

We didn't get a Christmas tree this year

so I decided to decorate the Palm tree that is in our tv room.

It felt kinda like being on vacation for Christmas.

Here is a picture of Daisy with a baby Cabbage Patch doll that Santa brought.

I think he picked it out because it looks just like her,

big blue eyes and brown curly hair.
