When to say When


I have never been good at finding the right time to say When. For instance I made snickerdoodles last week for my honey (aka the cookie monster) and I had no idea I was also known as the cookie monster. I mean I would eat 4 or 5 in one sitting, which eventually led to 10-12 cookies in one day. Who does that? Lets just say between the cookie monster family the Snickerdoodles lasted 2 days. Which would really equal about 26 hours. For that 26 beautiful hours there was no way I could live without those moist, scrumptious snickerdoodles. This got me thinking about all the other things I simply could not live with out.I have since banned snickerdoodles in our house. Zach has cried everyday.

P.s I blame Mom vance for giving me the best birthday present ever... Martha's cookie book.


1. Flip flops... easy and comfortable.Need I say more?

2.Queen Helene Mint Julep mask. Seriously if you havent ever tried this,you have too. If I ever feel a "special" friend on my face, the ones that are underneath the skin and hurt SUPER bad, I put this on and with in a day or so its gone. I have a firm testimony of the mint julep mask.

(plus you get to look like Elphaba from Wicked... hee hee)


We would like to take a break in this countdown for a rant from Whitney....

When does your face figure out you arent still in puberty? I swear. Sometimes I break out like crazy. Sometimes I have perfect skin. Whats up with that? I just dont get it. BUGGY!!!

Now back to the countdown......

3. Floss. I have to floss my teeth everyday. I dont think I have ever skipped a day. Im that crazy folks.

4. My aquaphor. Not only is it good on babys bootys(not footwear) but its good on your lips too.

Is it too Late?

So I have had Presley's birth announcements since she was a month old. yeah shes 4 months old now. As you can probably tell they are were not high on the priority list. Is it too late to send them out to family and friends? I feel like if I did I would need to put in a side note that said, I Finally got my act together. This just reiterates how ridiculous I am.

One time I pretended to be a photographer

So my parents for Graduation got me a SAWEET camera and Ive been playing around with it lately. First, Kyles mission pics, Now Kaytlyns 13 year old supermodels pictures and Weston and Dakotas friendship photog session. Kaytlyn turns 13 next Wednesday and will be an official teen. Kill me now. I know If I feel old my mom has to be feeling older. Weston and Dakota bought some really ridiculously good looking suit coats and vest from Goodwill and in honor of such a purchase and lets not even forget Westons Super cool class ring we decided to have a photo shoot. Mind you, yes these are taken in the same spot. My photog sessions consist of Presleys nap time and some days its not very long. I do want to go explore some fun areas this next week.

** I am no where near an excellent Photographer. All I ask of you is that you do not laugh at me to my face but please feel free to laugh behind my back**

Whats Whitney Happy about?

So yesterday I was in the car thinking about my poor friend who is SOOO sick with child. Poor Lauren isnt just sick for the first trimester but she is SO sick the whole 40 weeks. So it got me thinking about when I DIED my first trimester of pregnancy and how I was addicted to my Zofran and Phenergen... guess what, my trusty Zofran and Phenergen dont work for poor Lauren. I know its tragic. As I was thinking about this all of a sudden the taste of Zofran came into my mouth... and I totally gagged. Mind you I am in the car. Oh man just thinking about Zofran makes me want to die. The taste. OH MERCY. Its so gross. Then I continued to reflect on my whole pregnancy process, how could I forget my Elephantitis?I didnt take a picture of my OWN elephantitis but this lady and I... almost identical.

Although my feet are absolutely more attractive then hers. But thats another story. Then I was thinking about how I am so happy that my ankles and feet and legs are all back to normal.Aw, its good to have you back guys.

Ive also been feeling down about myself this last week or so. I dont know why. Lately I have felt Like I have lost myself. My identity. I feel like Im Zachs wife and Presleys mom/feeding machine. Which all makes me happy but,Where does Whitney fit in? Maybe it has something to do with having someone latched on to me every 3 hours. Im on my way to getting her back.


So I thought I would continue on and list things that I was happy for today.


1. Sobe LifeWater. 0 calories! Fuji Apple Pear is my fav. They come in more flavors now too!

2. Why would this make me happy? For once I am more organized than Zach. BOO YA!
disclaimer: no, I did NOT make his pile like this.

2. My new green T. I put it on the other day and began to salivate... It totally reminds me of those green tootsie rolls.


3. Dear Mr. LR3, one day I will own you and we will make sweet sweet music together.


4. Well hello cute Maxi dress. Ive already purchased 2 of you this summer from my BFF target. Cant wait to get more! LOVE!


5. . Coconut M&Ms. Thanks dad for discovering this goodness!

Rice cereal... Mmmmm

We tried our first bowl of rice cereal last night... I don't think she liked it. Or it could have been the metal spoon. I know I know, I need a baby spoon and will get one today But I just wanted to see if she liked it... what do you think?





Probably not her favorite food. She will learn to love it. That last picture makes me pee my pants every time. Shes in comatose.

Addicted

My name is Whitney and I have a problem. I am an addict. No not to shopping, or drugs, or food, or beer, or video games, or TV.

Im addicted to this little face.





Is it possible to abuse your child with too many kisses?

The car... dun dun dun

See these faces...




These are the faces of sweet Presley in the car. She HATES the car! I dont necessarily think its the car but her carseat. She hates to be confined in that thing. She will literally scream everywhere we go until she can either see me or is out of her carseat. It makes me develop twitches. At the beginning I would sit in the drivers seat and get anxiety. Now, I just turn the tunes up and sing. She gets louder, then I get louder and its an ongoing battle to see who can be the loudest.

But when she can see someones this is the face you get... Precious. I have quite the D.I.V.A on my hands. My mom and I sing the Diva song by Beyonce all the time to her. Its her theme song.

MIss P is so big!

I cant even believe my little angel baby girl is going to be 4 months old soon! Where has the time gone? I just love this little girl to pieces. She is learning and growing so much. She loves to sit and stand up. She is always trying to sit up on her own when shes laying back. Its Hysterical. She laughs and smiles like there is no tomorrow! She loves her baths, loves eating her hands, loves kicking her legs and moving her arms and She gets excited all the time! She has found a new love with Baby Einstein. The first time I put it on her eyes were glued to the TV and she would kick her legs like crazy. Loves It! She loves to read books and She loves her Bumbo. She has figured out if she hits her hanging toys they move. So she loves to hit them and watches them move back and forth. I love to watch her figure things out. She is such a hoot! And she holds her head up like a champ.


Where does she get these crazy faces from? I think she learned them from her Uncle Andrew. Hes always making faces in pictures.
