Silly Girl

June 15, 2011Maddie0
I was looking through my phone and found some silly pictures of Maddie that I thought I would share. (With Maddie captions.) I found my feet AND my pacifier! I could play with my feet all day! Umyou’re upside down. How did that happen? (Or maybe mom just didn’t flip the picture.) Yeah, I’m cute....

What a difference a year makes

June 2, 2011Maddie0
Last year on Memorial weekend I found out I was pregnant. I was reminiscing about it last weekend over Memorial Day. I remember taking that first test and how nervous I was. And how I wanted to take a dozen more just to check, but I was also scared that they might not show the...

3 month professional pictures

May 25, 2011Maddie0
My wonderful brother came over to take some updated pictures of Maddie. He sent me a few preview pictures. I had to share them! There are more to come! I love that my brother likes taking pictures of her! We did find that pictures are a little more challenging when she doesn’t sit still anymore...

3 Months Old

May 16, 2011Maddie0
My baby is 3 months old already. Where did the time go? She’s getting more fun each day. She is learning how to play with toys, she puts her hands, toys, bibs, burp rags, my fingersanything she can find into her mouth. Maddie is smiling more and more and has been sleeping like a champ....

I’m so mean….

May 16, 2011Maddie0
I found this funny app for my iPad that lets me add funny things to pictures. I thought this picture of Maddie would be fun to play with. 🙂 I couldn’t help but laugh when I was done. Does this make me a bad parent to laugh at my child? 🙂

Furniture

May 15, 2011Glendalough0
We now have our new dining room furniture in our dining room all set up. I love the way it looks and I am looking forward to meals on it over the holidays (because really, who uses their dining room other than during the holidays or for big family gatherings?). I love the bench and...

Ok…that was a terrible pun. And I am sure you were expecting to see Maddie after that title. But really, I wanted to share how well my plants are growing! Pretty nice, huh?! They are quickly outgrowing their pots and I need to replant them soon. We’ve sent in the forms for approval of a...

Laughing baby

May 2, 2011Maddie0
The last few days I have been so close to getting Maddie to laugh. She makes little squeaks, but no laughs. Then today, she was full of giggles. Thankfully Chuck was working from home today and was able to hear her giggle and catch it on video! It’s hard not to watch this and laugh....

Zesty Chicken & Rice Skillet

April 29, 2011Food0
Here is yet another meal from Kraft Foods. I have made this twice now. The first time I followed the recipe almost exactly. The only change I made was to use chicken broth instead of water and a bouillon cube. The second time I used brown rice (because that is what I had) and only...

I may have a greenish thumb after all!

April 28, 2011Food, Glendalough0
I went to check on my plants yesterday and found a tiny little tomato plant had sprouted. Today I checked on them to find all these! These are all tomatoes. I also saw that an onion had sprouted. There are a couple more that I can see starting to peek up through the dirt! How...

New do and a good deed

April 28, 2011Randomness0
The other day I got my hair cut. Here’s a quick little picture I took after I had it done. It’s maybe an inch shorter than I would have gone, but if I got 8 inches off, I could donate my hair through Pantene. So I went for it! I love it so far. I...

Gardening

April 26, 2011Food, Glendalough0
I’ve decided to try my hand at gardening. Well, other than lilies and other plants that don’t need much care! 🙂 Ow that I am home, I wanted to try growing some fruits and vegetables. I went this weekend and picked out some seeds to start planting and I couldn’t be more excited about it....

Maddie’s First Easter

April 25, 2011Maddie0
Yesterday was Maddie’s first Easter. We went to my mom’s house for lunch and festivities. There was an egg hunt and egg decorating. And my mom went all out with the Easter baskets as she always does! 🙂 We had a good time and it was Maddie’s first visit to grandma and grandpa Terwilliger’s house....

We’re In Trouble Now….

April 22, 2011Maddie0
Look what Maddie learned to do yesterday! So yeah.She couldn’t hold her head up this much the day before. And now she’s rolling. Yesterday I put her on the floor and this is what she did! We were so proud! Now we just need her to start talking, walking and using the toilet!

Micro Twitter

Babies need Twitter accounts, right? Well, mine does. Chuck had started one for Maddie before she was born and I forgot it existed until recently. So I am going to try to post things to it.   I have added the Twitter feed to my right side bar under my Twitter feed. If you want...

2 Month Doctor Visit

April 19, 2011Maddie2
Today was Maddie’s 2 month doctor’s appointment. She was 11 pounds, 6 ounces and about 24 inches long. She’s still a long little baby for her age! I don’t know where she gets the height from…it certainly isn’t from me! She also got 3 shots today for various vaccinations and little vaccine cocktail she had...

2 months

April 16, 2011Maddie1
Our little Maddie is 2 months old! Maddie has been finding her hands a lot more and really likes to suck on her fists. Every once in a while, she manages to get her thumb and sucks on it for a couple minutes. It’s really cute. She will also grab your hand and has quite...

Fiesta Chicken Pasta

April 15, 2011Food0
I have been making lots of meals from Kraft Foods lately. I made this the other night and it was really tasty. The things I did differently were to add 1/2 mild and 1/2 spicy salsa. It had a kick, but wasn’t overwhelmingly spicy. I also added a little more pasta and a little more...

This little fishy friend is at the kids’ doctor’s office. He’s the friendliest little guy and just swims right up to you. Maddie named him Spiky and wanted to bring him home. 🐡
Today the kids (ok, well just Alex) celebrated the Today the kids (ok, well just Alex) celebrated the 💯th day of school. This is a big deal in kindergarten and also a big deal in general. We have done 100 days of DL at our new school. These teachers have been amazing and our kids have done an great job. We are so proud of them. Not everyday is easy, not everyday is fun, but an end is in sight.

We decided we are sending them back to school in April for the 4th quarter. Although I’ll probably cry to say goodbye to these teachers, I’m so excited for my kids to be IN their new school and make some new friends and feel like part of the Hilltop family.😁

The kids ran around and played, ate snacks, had cupcakes and brownies, played in the snow on the lake, wrestled Chuck and threw balloons at the fan! 🎈🥳

This was a really quick book that I listened to re This was a really quick book that I listened to recently. It had been on my list for a while. I found this book to be comical right from the beginning because these three little black girls are being shipped across the country to live with a mother who left them. I realize this book took place in 1968 and things were very different then, but it just felt too unrealistic. Their mother is part of the Black Panthers and really doesn’t want anything to do with her girls. The girls spend the summer hanging out with Black Panther members and basically caring for themselves. By the end of their trip, they realize they did need this trip and it was a good experience. 

The book ended somewhat abruptly and that is possibly because there are more books in the series. I think it was interesting to read about how different life was in the late 60s and I am impressed their trip went as well as it did. Then again, it’s just a book, so really, you can make anything happen in a book that you want. It doesn’t have to be believable. I would agree with the title, these girls had a very crazy summer.

True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting o True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting on the boat recently, watching the kids play and listening to the house be built, I panicked. Crap! We should have put our house the other way. Left side on the right, right side on the left. That tree will be in our way! WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! 
.
So I immediately text Chuck who is working and tell him about how I am worried almost to tears about this. That we messed up.
.
It isn’t something we can do anything about even if we maybe should have done it the other way, which is probably nonsense. But we love this tree. And it’s going to add to our amazing view. And I want to plant another one on the other side one day anyway. And that big open spot will have a deck and porch behind the main floor garage. And what...I may have to turn my head slightly to see the lake better?🙄
.
Yep. I’m a nutcase. I don’t worry about the things right in front of me. Or even things I should worry about. Nope. Just things that can’t be changed...now that’s where my worry shines! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
