Miss Mischief

So since my daughter has fallen asleep which is rare, and i can't yell at her i will vent on my blog. I took pictures but it's hard to tell since dirt is dirt. I took the girls to the farmers market today to get some herbs, rosemary, basil, cilantro, chives, the ones i use a bit. so we get home and spend about a 1/2 hour planting them and watering them and cleaning up all the dirt. well i get on the computer for MAYBE 5 minutes, come out to the living room, she's passed out and the pot is surrounded by dirt and every plant has been pulled out! i swear she'd been waiting all afternoon for the second i was away to grab everyone and rip out the entire plant!!! AHHH she's lucky she's asleep :)

the bomb of all bombs

Ok so i realize a picture is probably more then most wanted to see however if felt quite strongly that a picture could do this amazing event better justice then i could explain! haha i was SOOO grateful that John was home for this one because it was a two man deal to get her out of the outfit, obviously she was coated head to toe by the time the shirt got off (requiring a LONG bath) but i thought this might make every parent laugh because i know you all know what it's like.

Also another funny event, we learned Payten doesn't like corn. Being the drama queen she truly is, i made her take one bite of corn before getting any bread, she did and instantly put her hands to her mouth. She was shaking her head and dry heaving as her eyes started to water. I rolled my eyes and figured if she's willing to put that much into the performance to prove she didn't like it then i wouldn't force any more on her. (i have to admit i do remember doing the exact same thing EVERY time i was "forced" to try corn) haha i guess if her looks aren't mine then there's a little something of me in her!

Payten's new crush

So I was telling Payten how we get to go to PB&J's tomorrow with Grandma and the Kapele boys, she was, of course, SOOO excited however she was VERY sad that Eric wasn't going to be there. I thought it was cute so I asked you really like Eric don't you? and she said (with a pout on her face) "yes, but he's not my age" I laughed and thought maybe I heard wrong so I asked what she said again , she said "i wish he were my age! " HAHA watch out Juli, Payten's got a crush haha

Proud to be Passi Free!

Ok well Not Riley, she's just cute and i assume she'll be using one for a while. However Payten is going on a week now with no pacifier and i couldn't be more excited. I must admit i always worry about the big things and how hard they will be (passi, big bed, potty training, airplanes, etc) however when the time comes she tends to be a rock star about the whole thing. I'm so excited that will save us like $20 a month! ok maybe an exaggeration but it is ridiculous how much $ is spent on those things, and the stress in the moment that you cant find any. We will probably find 100 of them when we move. wouldn't that be funny to sell a "lot" of them on eBay haha ok now I'm intrigued and wonder if people really do that, i guess that would be gross though, ok and now I'm just thinking by way of blog and you are all bored to death. that being said have an awesome afternoon! :)

Come back to us Papa!

We miss you Papa! Payten talks about you a lot...every time we go to Target she remembers her Shopping spree with papa (in true girl nature)

Few pictures

Daddy's girls look just like him!

Just putting a few pictures of all of us on here for the extended family really

Payten loves playing with carter and it's actually a really easy way to get her to be good for the day haha, if i tell her she gets to see carter later, she's a miracle child haha. (Carter's her cousin - for the non CA family)

Quit your Whining, i finally started a blog! haha

So apparently I'm the only one in the world who hasn't started one of these blog things yet, so in attempt to stay up to date, here goes! :) I will tell you all right now that i have no idea when i will keep this going since Payten (2 year old daughter) NEVER lets me on for more then 2 sec. at a time...(who as we speak is trying her hardest NOT to go to bed, singing, whining, fake coughing, you name it). So i apologize in advanced for not keeping this as current as most of you guys probably do, i will try though.

Ok so for those of you who don't know, John and I have been married 6 years in August, we have a 2 year old girl Payten and we also have a 3 month old daughter Riley, who is an absolute angel...still requiring some of my time as all babies would but she is more then you could ask for.

Today is ummm actually a blog worthy day, and by that i mean one of those days that you are counting every second tell its over, however in a few days it'll be kind of funny. I don't really know where to start however it all revolves around that wonderful, beautiful, adorable, crazy, hyperactive, smart(in a sneaky way), nut of a 2 year old! we attempted Costco which was a joke, actually John got the most of that while i was running around trying to get all the groceries Payten was terrorizing everyone and everything she could get her hands on. We get home and i play with her for like 2 solid hours (play dough/chalk/coloring) i leave the room for 2 minutes and she's bouncing around our living room taking crayons to the couches and walls. How she did as much damage as she did so quickly is amazing to me, proof that she was on a mission. anyways i could go on and on about the intentional wetting of pants, etc but i would be writing all night. ok quick funny note...not at the time but she grabbed johns ipod the other day and he told her to give it back, she went strait to the door and chucked it outside on the cement! again, funny now looking back...and i really do love her and it's a good thing she turns around and does some of the funniest sweetest things I've ever seen too. but this week she's definitely been pushing the limits.
