Norah & Bristol at the Park

Can you believe I am posting pictures 2 days in a row!  =)  Ashley and I took the girls to Lake Monroe today for a picnic.  We had so much fun!  The girls enjoyed getting dirty and eating leaves.  Norah did a face plant into the dirt and got a mouth full!  I think Ashley got a picture.  The weather was beautiful.  I can't wait to do it again!!

Pictures FINALLY!

Wishing

I am wishing I had something new to tell you.  We still have fleas just as much as we did 2 weeks ago.  But you know, I have learned something through this situation, something huge!  It would take a long time to explain it, but know it is really good!  I am so grateful to God for giving me the fleas to point this out to me.  Although I still wish, pray, hope that they will DIE, I am okay with the situation now no matter how long it takes.  

I realized I have not posted pictures lately.  Well, that is because I have not taken pictures lately!  =)  I will try to do that soon.

250 days

Norah is now 250 days old!  I thought that was a cool fact and wanted to share it.  =)

FLEA WORLD

And no I do not mean the shopping place!  Our house has been overtaken by FLEAS, the kind that never die.  Today marks a week from the first outbreak.  We have tried just about everything!

• Spraying our house with this crazy strong flea killing spray (3 times)  -DIDN'T WORK
  
• Removing all cushions, curtains, rugs and pillows and spraying those  -STILL NOTHING
• Putting out glass jars sprayed with PAM (weird tip we heard) -NOPE!
• Filling jars with soapy water and placing them around the house -CAUGHT 2 FLEAS
• Coating our house with Borax -WORKED!  BUT ONLY FOR 2 DAYS  =(

We thought we had the end of the pesky little bugs.  However, tonight I have found 20 without even trying.  I am really frustrated and ready to have my house back - I don't like sharing it.  Oh and for Bauer, he has been out on the porch for a week...WITH NO FLEAS!  Yes, Bauer is flea free and probably laughing at us thinking "payback!"  Norah, well she is getting held a lot.   

Tomorrow is another day and probably another crazy home remedy...Brings a whole new meaning to "don't let the bed bugs bite!!"

Big Day!!

Norah had so many firsts today!!  You ready for this?!

• FIRST tooth! (on the bottom)
• Clapping her hands when you say "Yeah Norah"
• Waving and saying "ba"

Holy cow!  I knew they were all coming soon, but I didn't expect it all in ONE DAY!  =)  Oh yeah, and I have a first - my first mini van!!  Yup, that's right!  We got the Honday Odyssey on Monday night.  It is such a huge blessing from God.  I love it so much.  

Promise, pictures soon!

My Cutie

This picture was just too cute not to post.  Norah finally has enough hair to wear a bow =)  She loved it!!  She would stick her hand up on her head to just feel it.  She wouldn't pull it out, she just wanted to make sure it was there.  She really reminds me of Heather in this picture.  Mom, what do you think?

We went to see Shamu on Saturday for the first time!!  I'll post pictures soon.  She got scared during the show but I think with time she will love Sea World.  I know I did when I was little.

So keep your fingers crossed but we might be getting a van tonight!!  Seth and I cannot believe we are excited about a mini van - I guess we are getting old?  =)  We will be driving to St. Pete tonight after I get off work to look at a Honda Odyssey and possible drive it home.  It looks extremely nice so I hope it all works out.  Heather is buying my car and I am very glad that she will have it because I still really, really love my car.  I always get sad when we have to get rid of a car.  Isn't it silly?  So I know it will be going to a good home.

Okay, gotta run.  Make sure you check out the video below.  It is possibly the funniest thing you will see this year!!!  =)
