Mommy and Me Monday!

We've had a very busy weekend hanging with the fam and enjoying the BEAUTIFUL weather.  I got some much needed Vitamin D and spent some time in the water with the hubs and the munchkin!!!

The reason this picture is just of Mees is because the ones with Justin and I in it are NOT good.....his head looks ginormous and I look like a wet dog with a bad hair do!!

We've been running and running all weekend and so we are totally relaxing right now.  Mees has been such a trooper all weekend....totally fighting her naps but still hanging with a smile....for the most part!!! 
We were doing our usual bedtime routine of bottle and reading books and the next thing I knew......

As you can see.....we were beat!!! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!!! Oh and P.S. I'm a total bad ass again.....I'm Laura, The Purse Blogger's fave lady of the week this week!!!!  Definitely check out her blog....I love her!!!

Decisions Decisions

Justin and I have been faced with a dilema this week.  It's huge...huge....and the decision is not to be made lightly and I am having a slight anxiety attack about it.  I can't seem to figure it out and my indecisivness is running mad.  Decisions...decisions.....as I sit here writing, I STILL don't know what we are going to do!  Are you all just DYING to know what this HUGE dilema is that me and the hubs are facing???? 

We aren't sure if we should spend 6 nights or 7 nights in Jamaica in January??  Leave on a Thursday or Friday and Garden view or Ocean view??  I know....I know....you're all thinking,  How the hell does one make a decision like that? I wouldn't want to be in that situation....how do they sleep at night?  Is it possible to make that decision??  I wouldn't even go...way to much to think about....not possible to come up with a solution. What the fuck is wrong with these two??  Are they stupid??  No, really, what's their problem??

I know.....I'm an asshole!!! 

Justin's sister is getting married in Negril at the end of January and we are lucky enough to get to go and celebrate with them!!!  In the 8 years that we will have been together we have NEVER been on a trip like that before.  We went to Duluth on our honeymoon and have maybe traveled like 4 hours together....thats it!  So this is sorta like a second honeymoon for us too!!! 

 I can't wait for food and cocktails and the pool and the sun and the friends and family!!!  I'm soooo excited to relax and do a whole lot of nothing!!!  I'm excited to watch the sunsets with my love and get a couples massage and get a f'in tan!!!!  I LOVE vacation tan!!
I AM on the other hand already have a slight panic attack about leaving Mees for a WHOLE week.  I don't know what the hell I'm going to do??  Justin has been away from her for his fishing and hunting trips but the longest I've been away from her is a work day and even that is a lot to bear at some times.  Am I going to make it a whole week without her??  Is my mom going to make it a whole week with her??  I mean, we area going to be out of the country!!  Also... remember....she is only almost 8 months old and already a Diva bitch so imagine what kind of diva bitch she will be in another 7 months....God help my mother! 
Needless to say, we are super excited about Becky and Jake's wedding and super excited about going on a fabulous trip with them and the rest of the fam. 
I'll share a beautiful photo that yours truly took of the happy couple!!!  Here is the other side of my crazy ass fam!!!

Yeah....I know....they aren't that cute at all!!! 

Love you guys!!!

Wordless Wednesdays.....Sort of!

I've been a extremely out of sorts the last couple of weeks.  It has been very emotional and just...well...pretty f'ing blah!!!  So I apologize for all the photos but thats what you are getting again. 

So....we had Belle's first birthday party last Saturday and she had a blast.  It was your typical first birthday party....grandparents, 685 aunts and uncles, 907 cousins...you know typical....(I'm exaggerating a tad...I tend to do that sometimes.... but combined it's a pretty big fricken fam)!!  Good food, drinks (you can't have ANY kind of Frascone party without drinks!!!) and lots and lots of cake!!!

Oh....and how could I forget the purse....every girl needs a Coach!!!

I'm hoping to snap out of this writing funk here I got going on soon and figure out something to put on this here blog besides just pics of my little peeps....even though they are so f'ing cute and I know you just can't get enough of them. So stay with me....there should be something coming....at least some more swearing and pictures...you know...the things I do best!!!
Happy Wednesday!!!

Mommy and Me Monday

Justin was out of town this weekend so it was just me and Miss Mia!!  

It was Ella's first birthday party on Saturday out at my mom and dad's so we spent the day out there with the whole fam and hung out and drank!!  You know....what everyone does at first birthdays....drink!!!  I'll show you all some photos later this week of Miss Ella on her birthday and the most fabulous present that her Fairy Godmother got for her!! 

But for now.....here is Me and Mees enjoying the beautiful afternoon out at the house!! 

Happy Monday!!!

Friday's Random Randomness

I'm back for some random randomness and all the Friday fun!!  I'm going to try and not depress anyone....it's been a pretty emotional week and we could all use a little stupid!!!!

* I HATE boogers!!!  I hate them....I don't hate them like eww gross hate them but I hate them as in I hate them in my nose, my munchkin's nose....pretty much anyone's nose.  I'm the god damn booger police.  You would swear I was stabbing my child with sharp object when trying to get rid of her boogs.  I pick her nose ALL the time, I pick my nose....it's necessary!!!  I HATE them!!!!
* I am completely perplexed by traffic.  Why the hell is there stop and go traffic.....if everyone drove like they were supposed to and not like a bunch of stupid ass hats then we wouldn't have stop and go traffic.....right??  I just don't fricken get it!
* Why do I always get stuck sitting behind the loudest lady in church??  You know the one.....the one who thinks she knows all the songs better than the priest and the one who thinks she knows all the prayers better than the priest.  The one who screws the priest up because she is saying things way faster than everyone else.  The one you kinda want to slap up long side of the head and tell her that she should just shut her pie hole....and then pray to God for forgiveness because it's not very nice to hit people in church!
* Why is my child good all day at daycare and then we get her home and she turns into the biggest Ass Hole on the planet??  I can say that because I MADE HER!!  She's MY ass hole!!
* My wonderful hubs rubs my back for me every night.  Not because he lovingly wants to but because I fuckin make him!!!  (He's reading this right now as I type and is totally shaking his head.....that better not mean he's done cuz he's got another thing comin then)!
* My older sister used to pick me up by my head when I was little!!  And No...it wasn't like how a 4 year old picks on her 2 year old sister.  This was like a 18 year old picking up a 2 year old by the side of the head!!  Love her though.....maybe that's why I'm a little off....gotta blame someone...right?
* I could totally go for Chinese buffet RIGHT now!!
* I just ordered Mees five more pairs of leggings.....I seriously have a problem!
* Lately I've been addicted to iced vanilla lattes and lately they have been addicted to MY ASS!!
* I love McDonald's french fries....the french fries have joined forces with the lattes and they have conspired to take over MY ASS!!
* I had a slight panic attack watching the Grey's season finale....holy shit!!
Happy Friday to all my beautiful Peeps!!!!

Happy Birthday to the cutest little terrorist in all the land!!

Today, Elle Belle, you turn ONE!!!  I'm telling you this because I'm pretty sure that you really don't give a shit RIGHT now but as you become older you'll understand why this milestone is of such great significance to all of us!

One year ago today was the day that your mother, my sister, pushed you out her special place and swore this was her last.  One year ago today was the day that your dad was able to make it through another birth without passing out and getting exactly what he wanted....a baby girl!  One year ago today was the day that I stayed with your big brother anxiously awaiting a phone call (or sorta stalking your mom because I REALLY don't like NOT knowing what the hell is going on).  One year ago today was the day that your Grandma got to see her THIRD grandchild be born.  One year ago today was the day that your Bumpa paced the hospital hallway so much that I'm pretty sure they needed to replace the carpet.  One year ago today was the day that Antie Deb and B also anxiously awaited a phone call to let them know when the hell you were gonna get here (we are all a little impatient when it comes to you kids)!!  One year ago today was the day that Uncle Justin was NOT catching any fish.  One year ago today was the day that the world inherited the cutest little terrorist they have ever seen!  One year ago today Ella, you were brought into this world and our lives have NEVER been the same! 

There is so much that I love about you!
* You are COMPLETELY fearless!!  It actually scares the shit out of all of us.  If you think you can do it, YOU DO!  Such as walking down the stairs, or diving, whatever you way want to look at it.
* You love to give kisses.
* I love how you LOVE to sit in my lap.  Anytime that I'm on the floor, you back your little midget butt right up to my lap and plop!  And I LOVE how you reach for me....even when you are with your mama....thats because you like me THE BEST!!!
* You have a contagious smile and the faces that you make are priceless!

* You try so hard to keep up with your brother and you actually do....you were walking at 10 months and haven't stopped since.

* You are hilarious!!!  Fricken hilarious!!!

* You LOVE to dance!  You do this thing with your right leg where you stomp it on the ground and and totally go to town. I've seen you dance for cookies (kinda like a stripper dances for money ....we'll have to keep an eye on that)!!

* There is a possibility that you've had some minor head injuries because of your brother shoving you over and you hitting your head on the floor numerous times a day....your mom wanted to get you a helmet and I told her if she did I would beat the shit out of her with it!

* There is also a good possibility that once you get a little bigger you are going to freak out on your brother and just clock him one!  He better watch out because YOU ARE A BEAST!!!

* I love how much you love Mia and Carter.  It is so much fun to watch the three of you together.  It sometimes makes me want to cry because you three are always going to have each other and that makes my heart happy plus your Antie (me) is a little emotional at times and I tend to cry.... A LOT!!

* Oh...how could I forget....you LOVE FOOD!!  You will sit under the table and wait for Carter's food to fall.  You love your snacks and if you don't get fed fast enough you yell!   You LOVE cottage cheese and would eat only that if you could.  You haven't eaten "baby" food in months....because....well... why would you eat that shit when there are so many better things out there to eat. 

* I swear that you can say words....or sentences....or something that sounds like words and sentences!  I'm pretty sure we've all heard them come out of your mouth...we look at each other and ask if we all heard the same thing and we do. I'm pretty sure you are border line genius....come to think of it so is Carter and Mia......it must be something in the Frascone girls' DNA!  Your mom and I grateful that we were able to pass that "genius" trait down to you kids....you'd be totally screwed otherwise!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful little Elle Belle Boo!! Antie loves you very much and can't wait to see what this next year brings us!! Hopefully no acts of terrorism!! Your mom is young....don't give her grey hair yet!!
Love,
Your Fairy Godmother

Mommy and Me Monday....Special Edition

This weeks Mommy and Me Monday is a little different and bittersweat for me.  I have a fabulous photo of Mees and I from this week playing in the living room.  She is just way too cute not to put pics up of her AT ALL TIMES!!!

On top of MY mommy and me photos, I'm going to add one more. This weekend has been...well....pretty shitty.  Maryah passed away on Saturday morning after a long hard battle with cancer (that nasty ass C word). My heart aches for her and for HER mom. There really are NO words.  What do you say to someone who has lost a child? There are no words of comfort and there is no way that anyone could even  begin to imagine what that must feel like unless you have been in that situation.
We know that she is finally at peace and in the arms of the Lord but nontheless it SUCKS!!  So for Rach and Ry I'm adding a Mommy and Me photo for the two of you. Rachel, I know that your heart is broken and will never be whole again but know that she is still with you ALL the time! I feel honored that you shared your beautiful daughter with the world....she has definitely left her footprint on my heart.  I miss her and will never forget.

I'm reminding you all again.....get as many mommy and me photos that you can.....you never know when it may be your last.  Hug and kiss your babies as much as you can.....you never know when it will be your last.   Tell them you love them and try your hardest not to take ANYTHING for granted.

Dear Ry

Dear Maryah,
I want you to know that I think you are an amazing young woman.  You have inspired ME to be a better person.  Although I don't always follow through on the whole being a better person thing because I can be a nasty bitch sometimes (I DO have good intentions...most of the time)!!   I feel honored that you have let me be a part of your life for the last 6 years.  You are a one of kind, beautifully special young lady who has so much more wisdom than I could ever dream of.

 
I've come to realize that cancer fucking SUCKS....it SUCKS real fucking bad.  Sorry I said fuck....I know we've used that word once or twice.....it just speaks the truth and is powerful when talking about this nasty thing!  I hate that you have had to endure this battle at such a young age.  I hate that you have not been able to be a "normal" teenager.  I hate that you have not gotten to experience certain things that every young adult should.  I hate that this beast has consumed your body. 
I know that you don't look at it this way and again that proves just how amazing you truly are.  You are a much better person than I.  You are one of the most beautiful people I've ever met...inside and out.  I just hope that you know how much you are loved and how much you are going to be missed. 
You have taught me to live each day to the fullest and to never take anything or anyone for granted because you never know what the next day holds.  You have reminded me to kiss my munchkin as much as I can and tell her that I love her as much as I can because.... you just never know. 
The one thing that I want you to know is that I'm going to miss the hell out of you!  I know that you will be with all of us.  I know that you will be watching over everyone with that sparkle in your eye and a smile on your face. 
I love you very much and only hope that you will find peace and comfort on your journey home.  It is not the end nor is it the last time that we see each other.  I love you!
~Antie Nik

Oh Shit...She's Mobile

So....there have been some developments these last few days.  Our daughter...Mia...you know, the cute one with big eyes and perfect lips....yeah she has decided that she is a big girl now and has started crawling!  I'm sorry but I did not ok this milestone quite yet....I think she is a little too young for such big girl things and frankly...mommy aint ready for this shit! 

Let me just say that my little munchkin.....well....she's a whole truck load of crazy!!!  Her tiny little ass is into EVERYTHING already.  Oh I know...yall are saying...Just wait, it's only the beginning, you ain't seen nothing yet, blah blah blah.....see, I know this....but she's my first so just let me freak a little!  I'm totally allowed to do that...right??? 

I thought instead of a pic today I would post a little video of my little Mees scooting her little self across the floor.  We bribe and coherce her with things like the phone and remotes...you know....all the stuff that she shouldn't play with but wants to play with and if she doesn't play with it then she screams...yeah that stuff!  I know you are all like...oh great....not only does she overload us with photos of her child, now we get real live videos of her child....SWEET....I can hardly wait!!!   I knew that you guys were totally waiting for a video... so thats why you all get the pleasure of viewing it!!  So....you are just gonna have to deal because she's mine and she's a genius....she totally takes after her mother...so WHATEV!!!

Video disclaimer:

Please ignore the weird man (Justin) reading Dr Seuss in the background.  I'm not really sure who the hell he was reading to but Mees and I weren't listenin.....but he just kept on reading....I think I may have told him to shut it but he don't listen!  Just think of it as background obnoxiousness!!! 

Another disclaimer:
My voice is NO better!!  Don't you just hate when you hear yourself on tape....I HATE it!!   Especially when you totally get caught telling the hubs to shut his pie hole!! 

Happy Birthday Little Sissy

24 years ago today my entire spoiled...perfect...little ME world was completely turned upside down!  24 years ago today.....Natalie came into my world!  Not something that I was too thrilled about at first but I couldn't imagine growing up without her.  I love that I have sisters!  My sisters fuckin rock!!  Yeah thats right...fuckin ROCK!!!

I'm not sure that I would know what to do without her.  She is well beyond her years and is amazing in so many ways.  She is an amazing mother to two beautiful children who I love like my own.  I've learned so much from her about motherhood and life in general and I truly don't know how I would have gotten through the first few months of being a new mom if it weren't for her.  She is an amazing sister who I look to for so much.  I'm probably a little too dependent on her....oh well....I'm needy....she knows it....and she knows how to deal with my crazy ass!!!  (She smacks me around sometimes....that bitch has always been able to kick my ass). 
She inspires me to be a better wife, mother, sister, daughter and friend.  She is beautiful inside and out!  Not only is she my sister but she's my best friend. 

Happy Birthday Nattie!!!  I love you and hope you have a fabulously special day!!!

Mommy and Me Monday

This last Saturday we had Mia baptised/dedicated.  We had the ceremony outside at my mom and dad's house.  It wasn't the greatest weather but nonetheless it was a beautiful day spent with the people closest to us.  My mommy and me picture this week also has daddy in it....I ok'd it just for this week....only because Mees looks so fricken cute and so Little House on the Prairieish.  I let Justin know though, that this was a one time thing only.  So don't get used to it!

Her baptismal gown was mine when I was baptised.  Pretty fricken cool if ya ask me!  Not cool that it's almost 30 years old but whatev!  Oh and she wasn't all that excited about the pics at this point....we were having a Diva/Ass hole moment!  She is just so damn cute though that I let it slide....aren't I nice??!!!

The 7th Month

Today, my beautiful little girl, you are 7 months old!  I seriously have no idea where the last 7 months have gone.  The time truly has flown by.  Your dad and I were just talking tonight about when you were first born and how tiny you were and how your little self would fit so snuggly on our chests.  Now, when you decide that you actually WANT to snuggle your long little legs hang off of us and you completely cover us! 

Things you have accomplished and amazed us with this last month:

* You have become so much more verbal...the coos and oohs and ahhs are more frequent.  As is the YELLING!  And when I say yelling... I mean uncontrolable, baby velocirapotor kind of yelling!!  Apparently you think this will get our attention....IT DOES!!!  We really can't help but laugh...but reallly, what the hell are you doing???  The sheer volume of noise that is coming out of your mouth is incredible....there is a possibility that you will loose your voice....we'll see how that works for ya!
* You CAN NOT sit still!!!  You stiffen your body and fling yourself about if you are unhappy with your current situation.  You've managed to escape you bumbo by doing just that....you stiffen your body and roll your little self right out.....let me tell ya Houdini....stop doing that!!!  It freaks mommy out!  You're also able to pretty much sit all by yourself.  Except for a few spills and screaming fits, you do really well!
* You love to stand....this goes along with the not sitting still thing.  You are nosey and need to know whats going on with everyone and everything.  You aren't holding yourself up yet but you are bouncing and moving those little legs all over the place with our assistance.

* You roll EVERYWHERE.  We really can't leave you by yourself anywhere (not that we LEFT you before but we always have to have an eye on ya), you are a busy bee who is a moving and a groving!!  I give ya another couple of weeks and then God help us all because there is a possibility that you will be crawling! You are already into everything so I can hardly wait to see the shit that you get into then!
* You are starting to eat solids way more!  You seemed to be pretty picky at first but you have definitely gotten better.  You LOVE puffs!!!  And it's so cute because you put them in the side of your mouth like you are actually chewing them.  Way too cute if ya ask me!
* You have TWO toofers!!  Yes, TWO!!!  Along with these two teeth is double the drool and double the Diva.  You are pretty well soaked in drool everyday as is mommy and daddy.  We don't really care though....sometimes I care a little when the drool runs into my mouth...but then I get over it cuz...well...what the hell...it's just drool I guess!  The Divaness has increased but thats to be expected because you ARE my child!  I have no one to blame but my parents myself!
* Your favorite toys are mommy's phone, the remotes, the computer and pretty much anything else that someone else has....and if we don't give it to you...well then....you SCREAM!!!  Remember the whole baby velociraptor thing...yeah...thats it!!!

* You and your two little besties (Carter and Belle) play so good with each other...sort of!!!  You are all learning to share...you guys always want what the other has and then when you do get it you want the other thing...and it's just a vicious cycle but it's so much fun to watch the three of you together...screaming and yelling and crying in each others faces!!  I can't wait to see you guys grow together!
* You started swimming lessons this last month and totally love the water.  I'm so glad that we started it with ya....I want you to be used to the water.
* You have the BEST laugh.  Your dad can get you going so easily....it's probably the best noise in the whole world.  You love when we make up songs and sound like a bunch of ass holes or dance around like a bunch of ass holes....pretty much anything that we do to make us look like ass holes....you like!!!
* For a while you had totally gotten away from the whole snuggling thing but lately you let me snuggle with ya....I LOVE it!!!  I'm so glad that you've given that back to mommy and daddy!!

* We were finally able to go for your first walk outside...I know.. sad... but the weather finally just started getting nice enough!  You LOVE outside! 
* You love seeing yourself in the mirror or pictures of yourself.  It makes you laugh...which makes me laugh!  I don't blame ya...I love seeing pictures of you too!!!

I know I say this every month but you continue to amaze us and you continue to melt my heart every single day!!  You are the best thing that I've ever done and can't wait to see what this next month brings us....hopefully more cute and less Diva!!! 

I love ya little munchkin!!!

Bad Ass Motha

Just in case you were not all aware of this prior....I'm a total Bad Ass Motha!!!  Ok...Not really but I like to pretend!! 

So I got into work this morning and checked my email and to my fabulous surprise I was honored with like 5 flippin sweet ass awards!  Me??  Awards??  Totally bad ass...right??  Well I think so!  It totally made my day...maybe even a few days....I love to know that people actually enjoy my random bull shit!!  And if they really don't...well....Suck it!!  (Remember...thats my new motto...I'm actually trying to be nicer to people)!

So...the first award I got was from one of my favorite bloggers..The Truthful Mommy over at The TRUTH about Motherhood....fab blog...check her out!!

Thanks for giving me the coolest award ever! So here are the rules;

1. Get really excited that you got the coolest award EVER!

2. Choose ONE of the following options of accepting the OMB award:

(a) Get really drunk and blog for 15 minutes straight, or for as long as you can focus.

(b) Write about your most embarrassing moment.

(c) Write a “Soundtrack of your childhood” post.

(d) Make your next blog a ‘vlog’/video blog.

Basically, you’re talking to the camera about whatever.

(e) Take a picture of yourself first thing in the morning,

before you do anything else (hair, make up, etc) and post it.

3. Pass the award on to at least three, but preferably more, awesome bloggers as yourself.

So...I'm super pumped about the award....and I wish I could get drunk and blog but I don't think that would be the wisest choice up there and I'm pretty sure that NO ONE wants to see me first thing in the morning...it's bad/sad enough that Justin has too!!  So we'll go with embarrassing....When Justin and I first started dating we were hanging out at his house, it was summer and I had on a pair of jeans...it was hot so I thought hey, I'll put on a pair of his boxers (because that's what you do...you wear your boyfriends boxers for shorts or bedtime)....HA!  Yeah fuckin right....those damn things were like fuckin biker shorts on me....I couldn't even get the damn things over my damn thighs!  Let me just say that those things came off real quick and the jeans went right back on.  I'm pretty sure I had a sweaty ass...but better a sweaty ass then my fat rolls busting out over a pair of boxers....that skinny bastard!!!!

The second award comes from a new bloggy friend that I've found...Java at Never Growing Old....totally love her too!!!

The Rules:

1. Thank the person who gave you this award.

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3. Pass the award along to 10 bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic!

Already thanked Miss Java!!! 

7 things about me....Mmmmm lets see....what can I say that won't scare anyone???

* I'm extremely emotional....Like Extremely

* I have a thing for good pens
* I HATE driving on bridges
* I have chubby fingers
* I LOVE bags...purses, diaper bags, totes, whatever...you name it...I'll buy it!!!
* I love vodka lemonades
* I wear tank tops under everything...everyday...can't have on just ONE shirt.

Then I got another couple of awards from Jackie at My Perfect Little World.

The first award is the Fabulous Sugar Doll Blogger Award. The rules are you must write 10 things about yourself and share this award with 10 other bloggers

So...I wrote 7 things about myself above so I'm not going to continue to bore you all with more shit about ME...oddly...I find it difficult to think of things to say about ME!!

The final award is the One Lovely Blog Award.  Pass it on to bloggers who deserve this award.

With all of these fab fun awards, I'm supposed to pass them all on...so here it goes....Everyone listed below gets ALL of them!!!  Sometimes I hate doing this though because I have SO MANY wonderful fabulous blogs that I follow and love....So I'm going to choose 10 to pass these on too!!  If I didn't mention ya...don't hate...I still love ya....it would just take me forever to link all the blogs that I follow!!!!  Hope you all enjoy them!!

Wordless Wednesdays.....Sort of

Justin has school on Tuesday nights so Mees and I usually hang with Nat, Joe and the kids (our besties as we like to call them)!  Last night we were hanging out at the house and I of course was blinding the little midgets!  But when there are little midgets as cute as these three....you kind of have to blind them!!!

Don't you totally dig Mees bald spot??  I try to do the comb over action but it doesn't really seem to work in the back. 

It's amazing how three little people can completey change an entire family. They truly do complete us! Sounds a little Jerry Maguireish but I don't really give a shit (P.S. I can't stand Tom Cruise but it's a good fricken movie).

2 Whole Big Years of Wedded Bliss

Yesterday, Justin and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary!!!  (Or as some like to remember it...the night of 18 squad cars)  Yea for us!!!  When I look back at it, minus the mace and madness, it seems like forever ago.  I'm thrilled that the hubs hasn't slapped the crazy out of me just yet!  (My sister in her speech reminded him that I'm not returnable.....whatever the hell that means).  But then again, he knew all of this prior to saying I do, so really, HE is the crazy one!!!  I truley am a lucky lady though....he is an amazing husband and an amazing father!  I whole heartedly believe that we were made for each....because I really don't know who else would want to deal with our shit!!

We usually do Sushi for our anniversary dinners but this year we decided on something different.....Japanese Teppanyaki....yeah, I know, big stretch from sushi!!  But it is some serious good eats!!  If you haven't been to a Japanese steak house I highly recommend it.....I probably don't need to eat for like 3 days though because I'll probably still be in a food coma!

Our usual self portrait that we love to take! 

Our delicious dinner being cooked....fried rice and shrimp sauce....seriously...it's the shit!

Even though I'm still full....it looks mouth watering fantastic!! 

We had a fabulous dinner with great food and wonderful conversation. It's so nice for the two of us to get out for just a couple hours and pretend that we are REAL people. It really reminds the both of us how necessary it is to take the time for us and reminds us of why we got married in the first place!!!  We ACTUALLY do love each other and like spending time with each other.....and there is a little (just a little) more to our lives than poopy diapers and drool!!!

Mommy and Me Monday

Ok....so I bought this Hugamonkey sling thing-a-majig thinking that of course I need this...why wouldn't I need this....Mia for sure needs to be carried around in this.....this is a great idea for us!!!  Ok...so I might have been wrong.  I'm pretty sure Mia would have a fuckin cow if I tried to keep her in this thing for more than a few pictures....and thats what we did tonight a few pics and threw that thingy back in the closet!!!
P.S.  I look like a total ASS HAT and probably shouldn't attempt a sling thing-a-majig anytime soon!!!  Mia DID think it was kinda funny though!! 

I told ya....ASS HAT!!! 
A quick note too....my grab button is fixed now so please feel free to grab me!!!
