Bubbles Bubbles on my nose, Bubbles Bubbles on my toes

I fail as a mother. It has taken me almost 2 years to introduce my child to bubbles in the bathtub. What kind of cruel woman am I? You see, my mom practically scared me into it. She has once said that too many bubble experiences can cause Urinary Tract Infections and since I was so proned to having those at her age I just stayed away from bubbles completely. I had seen a friends Blog where she had taken the cutest pictures of her daughter in the tub with bubbles and I just knew Presley needed that happiness in her life. Her reaction was a little surprising.....

She hates them. She doesnt like that her skin isnt cleaned off and there are bubbles still on. She HATES having them on her face. The Princess bubbles bottle has to be hidden or little lady freaks out.

On the other hand, bubbles you can blow out of a huge pink wand are way better. Ive been trying to teach Presley to blow really hard so she can get bubbles by herself and she is pretty much amazing at it. I was actually surprised once when she got more bubbles out of the wand then I did. Weve been playing with this type of bubble for a long time and they never get old to her.

After our bubble extravaganza I followed Presley around. She is so stinking cute. I cant believe she is going to be 2 in a month. Ridiculous!

In 6 years...

This will be my hair...

And probably not even that glamorous. I just pulled 7 gray hairs from my 24 year old head. S.E.V.E.N!!!!!! Those 7 gray hairs arent even my first 7 gray hairs. No they just added my previous 6 gray hairs to now 13 gray hairs I have plucked from my 24 year old head. IM 24,Not 64!! Come on! Thanks a lot Grandpa Ron. My grandpa Ron was completely gray by the time he was 35. My dad knew him as gray and I knew him as almost completely white. Though he may have past on 10 years ago I sure wish he could be here so I could give him a hard time about bestowing such a wonderful family gene into me. I just know I wont even make it to 35. Im sure by next year Ill be coloring my hair to hide my specks. If you see me and Ive gained weight its because Im eating lots of ice cream to get myself through this. Anyone selling Girl scout cookies? I could really use a few boxes of Samoas.

Goals

In 2010 I set one goal. Get fit. I was hoping Zach would follow along and we could do it together. Well, its taken Zach a year to catch on but he is doing it. After only a few weeks of 2011 Zach is ripped. He is eating healthier and working out routinely and is really happy. This year when I was thinking about my goals for the year I came up with a few. In the year 2011 I want to Load the dishwasher every night before I go to bed, Continue with my fitness, and Save enough money to go to Disneyland this summer and Berlin next October. Initially I said save more, spend less which was one of Zachs goal as well but with more thought we came up with having an end goal to our saving. Zach and I are not good savers which is HORRIBLE!!! With a strict budget set and in motion we are learning so much! My grandparents are about to serve their third mission together and this time they are headed to Berlin. When they got called Zach said he would really like to go pick them up when they are released. How could I pass up a trip to Germany? After all thats where I come from.

In other news, The heavens have parted and Presley is now obsessed with "beast". She is so into movies right now and I really dont want her to watch movie after movie. Its the first thing she says to me in the morning, "Mommy beast wake up"," I watch Beast" folllowed but "I eat." At least right now its MY favorite Disney Princess.

P.s ONLY 4 MORE MONTHS TILL THIS HANDSOME BROTHER OF MINE COMES HOME!!

Longest 2 years of my life.

He's A Tramp and I dont know If I love him

Well Hello!!! Miss me? Oh wait, no one reads my blog anymore? Well to those 3 people who do this ones for you! We have been SOOO busy and when I have a Presley free moment Blogging is the last thing on the list. In the last couple of weeks Presley has been OBSESSED with this movie....

She loves Dogs and Animals so this is the perfect movie for her. I Love Lady and the Tramp but like I said she is obsessed and asks to watch it 20 times a day. So In the last couple of weeks I have seen it plenty. Too much. I kind of never want to see it again. Which kills me to even say.

Presley also has been completely obsessed with planes. She is constantly looking up to find one and when she does its like the best day of her life. She shouts "plane" and does a "I found a plane" dance and wiggle. She asks to hold it too.

Presley talks NON STOP. Payback maybe? Apparently I was quite the chatter box as well. As helpful it is to know what she wants, sometimes.... I wish she didnt.

Hopefully I'll be better at this.

When the camera is out....

Presley's smile is not. "Seriously mom?" "I will not look at the camera"
"Fine, Ill look but Im not going to smile"

Presley was Anti family pictures. She hardly cooperated. Atleast shes cute even when shes being a stinker. Maybe Ill give her a few pointers.

Murder Mystery Take 2

Have I ever mentioned how fun my friends are? Well, They really are!! We went to the 2nd Annual Murder Mystery party last night and it was SOO fun!! Last years was awesome but this year was beyond amazing. Alana and Bethany worked so hard and were so prepared. We loved it! This years theme was the 50's so naturally Zach and I were a suburban couple where I tend to the children and have supper on the table at 5 o'clock on the dot and Zach is a business man.

Meet Walt and June Cleaver. We know that the real Cleavers were June and Ward but we didnt really find that out until a few weeks ago after we had turned in our names and stories. Zach ended up being the killer of Mr. Francis Finnigan Foxworth and he used none other than the Cleaver. Gasp! *Walt Cleaver is the hedge fund manager for Foxworth who is his Uncle. It is a career that allows him to support his family in style. But he often feels dissatisfied with his position in life.

*June Cleaver is the epitome of an all American suburban housewife. She works hard to create a wonderful home for her family. She has very ladylike pastimes like needlepoint and flower arranging. Her only outside social events are her children’s school events and plays which she attends with her husband Walt Cleaver. She does have a secret addiction to medication and Alcohol.

The time I was in comatose

My friends, a Christmas miracle has taken place today. While driving in my fathers Mustang convertible today, I beheld a wonderful sight. After eating a handful of Pita chips, I was in need of something to cure my breath. My father is the keeper of gum. If you need some, he has some. My father also discovers all of earths goodnesses. He is the one that introduced me to Coconut m&m's, Sobe lifewater, Poore Brothers Salt and Vinegar chips( at the age of 2) and all sorts of other wonderful things. While looking for some gum I had the choice between 2 kinds. One was in a differnt color box that I dont recall ever seeing so I was quick to investigate. Behold!

As I read the title, a great pilar of light came from the sky, the clouds parted and Angels sang. Seriously? Was I dreaming? I pinched myself just to make sure. I was in fact awake. As I peeled back the tin wrapper, my lips pursed, my mouth salivated and I could hardly contain my excitement. I ever so gently placed the piece of deliciousness inside my mouth and began to chew. And then I died. My eyes glazed over and I wasnt thinking properly. How could something so wonderful be on this earth without my knowing? How could my father, who is supposed to love me unconditionally keep this a secret? I kept chewing, I gently swallowed my saliva. It felt like I was eating a bowl of ice cream everytime I would swallow. I quickly texted my father. Then I called Zach. My friends, I could not keep this a secret from you. You must partake. As of this moment I only know of one place where you can find it, QT( Got to love the QT) My father was going to explore other options. He went to Walgreens and was supposed to return and report. He has not reported yet so I will report his findings hopefully soon.

You're Welcome.
