Our trip in Ohio, part one.

I haven't been able to update my blog in awhile. We're on leave! 30 days of no Fort Campbell! Once we get home, we shall begin packing for our move to Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

Our time in Ohio has been fun. I drove the whole 9 hours here, which wasn't TOO bad. We spent some time with my father-in-law, brother-in-laws and their wives/kids. It was tense but turned out pretty good and fun.

Three days after we got here, Bailey started running a fever. We took her to Urgent Care and she was diagnosed with an ear infection. Her fever spiked as high as 105, after we got back from Urgent Care. It was very scary. I cried almost all night. It was comforting to have my husband here holding my hand. Bailey finally slept. Derek and I slept in her room on the floor the whole night. We broke her fever that night.

Once she started feeling better, I went on the tour of my husbands childhood. I saw his old house, schools, and stuff. I saw TONS of Amish people. It was very exciting to me. I love Amish people.

While we were sitting in the A&W Restaurant, we noticed Bailey got her first TOOTH! It is just a small little tooth on the bottom of her mouth. It was very exciting.

Yesterday, we bought some stuff for Bailey's Ohio Birthday party, which is happening tomorrow afternoon.

It's been a while...

It's been a long time since I've updated my blog. I'm trying to get back into doing it every so often.


Bailey's a walker. Not all the time, but she walks so much, then she sees something she wants and crawls to it. She'll be walking by next month, I believe. Still no teeth!! Hopefully any day one will break through!

On September 1st we're going to visit our family in Ohio. It will be really nice seeing everyone and I'm excited to go to Ohio. On the 14th we're going to California, to visit more of our family. We will be celebrating Bailey's FIRST BIRTHDAY. My god. One year old. Where did the time go??

Lets see... This time last year, I was saying goodbye to my husband and I was VERY pregnant. Time really does fly when you're having fun, I guess :-) 

Mrs.Clean

Today was MEGA-Cleaning Day!!

Once Derek left at 9am for work, I started cleaning insanely. I started with laundry and did about 6 loads in all today. So I'm finally caught up on my laundry. YAY! Then I picked up, and I swept the floors. I mopped them, too. I was cleaning all day, basically. I was going to work out, but Derek got home before I could. I guess I spent enough time on my feet though, but tomorrow I'm going to work out (especially since I'm all caught up on the heavy cleaning.)

Derek and I had Turkey burgers, maccaroni and potato salad for dinner tonight. Then I made him a giant cookie. He's in love..... with the cookie, I mean. ;) Haha.

Bailey is in a big girl seat now. She still hasn't sat in it but it makes me so sad that she's in it. I can't wait to get a picture of her in her big girl seat.

That was all that happened today. Bailey and I have a Skype date with my Grandparents tomorrow and on Wednesday a Skype date with Bailey's Grandma, Aunt and Uncle. :)

I haven't wrote a blog in over a week. I'm really slacking.

Bailey is trying to walk. She will take a few steps back and forth from Derek and I. It's really cute.

Today, Bailey and I went and visited Holly. We didn't do much. We left and went to Smoothie King then brought Daddy a smoothie at work. Derek was given the okay to leave at 4 and that was cool. I was happy about that. So we went home and have been relaxing since. Bailey didn't nap at all today and she finally did from 6-7. Then went to bed at 8.

Now I'm blogging and Derek is playing a video game. I am going to find my camera this week if it's the last thing I do. Here's some pictures I took with my phone

I haven't updated in a while again. This weekend has been pretty good. We got paid and paid all the bills which is always fun, right? Not. Well on Friday we didn't do anything. We watched Insidious, which was a scary movie. Derek thought it was stupid, but I was kinda scared of it. We went to bed and watched Netflix and I fell asleep. This morning we got McDonald's for breakfast because Derek has wanted it lately. We were going to grocery shop really early this morning, but Bailey needed a nap and so did Mommy and Daddy. We finally went grocery shopping around four-ish. It wasn't too bad. We got home, ate dinner and fed Bailey, bathed her and have been sitting here since then, pretty much. We're about to go to bed.

I took a picture of Bailey next to Bowtie today.... and then compared it to a picture of her when she was a few days old. It made me sad.

"What a difference 10 months makes." 

The weekend update.

Not too much has been going on lately so I haven't been writing a blog. But on Friday Derek came home about 2 hours early. We left to do stuff like going to Babies R Us and bought Bailey some of her snacks (we got them for a steal, basically!) and a pair of sandals. We went to Petsmart and got Colby a laser pointer. She's nuts about it... Then we got Old Chicago to-go! We went home and ate it. It was absolutely delicious. I wish we would do that more often. I love Old Chicago at home.

On Saturday, Holly and I went to see an advanced screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, part 2. It was amazing. I loved the movie. I HATED being in the theater with a bunch of dumb ass assholes. Why would you take your freaking baby or toddler to the theater? I don't know. Because you're selfish and wanted to see Harry Potter, I guess. I was extremely pissed off the last 20-30 minutes of the movie. And every time I wanted to start crying people would clap at the scene and I'd be pissed off again. I can't wait until it comes out on BluRay.

Today, Derek and I are going to a Blake Shelton concert! Holly is going to babysit Bailey... or is it the other way around? Haha. Kidding. But it'll be fun.
