Look who is a big girl!

I have never slept so well since Georgie has been sleeping in her crib. I put her in her crib between 9 and 10 after a full belly of rice cereal and a bottle. I tell her, "It's time to go night night in your crib since you're a big girl now." An occasional cry (nothing too heartbreaking) and she is out! She doesn't even wake up in the night and today the sleepy head woke up at 10:15a.m?! I'm so proud of her and can't believe FINALLY she is in her own crib. If I knew it was going to be this easy I would have done this months ago. It's mind blowing to me that she is almost 9 months. It seems like yesterday, that we were bringing her home from the hospital. I love you Georgie and mommy is so proud of you! Now off to go start dinner and pick up the house before daddy gets home.

Life is too short!

We had such a busy weekend! Friday afternoon we had a funeral:( Our dear friend Barbara died. She was Aunt Jackie's best friend! She was only 55?! She was ALWAYS so nice to me and loved Georgie. She was at every family function and we all loved her so much.When I called her last Sunday at the hospital to check on her the first thing she asked me was, "how is Georgie?" Here she is so sick and asks me that?! I'm glad I told her I loved her when we hung up. I really didn't think she was going to pass away and that would be our last conversation. Life is too short. Cherish everyday like it's your last. She will be so missed. She was so fun and so full of life! I still can't believe she is gone! I love you Barb. I know life goes on but death is so hard for me to understand?

I need to go to bed so I'll finish my post by saying that Saturday we went to Roseville for a 1 year old birthday. Kinsley Winter, is just adorable and had the perfect birthday! It was so fun and I can't wait to throw Georgie's birthday! I know summer is coming to an end. I'm sad. I know all my Nephews aren't looking forward to starting school but I think my sisters are ready to get their routine back. I hope everyone has a great week and happy first day of school to all my handsome Nephews. They are going to look sharp in their new clothes and cool vans.

Looking forward to Saturday Night!

So my high school reunion is this Saturday night! I'm really excited to see some of my best friends and to see the friends I haven't seen in like 10 years!!! We have a babysitter and I have a new dress and I am ready to do this! I'll let you know how the night goes. It truly doesn't seem possible to be out of high school for 10 years. It's really true, time goes by so fast! Happy Friday everyone!

Hope you guys get a laugh out of this!

This blog is for my family, my Sisters and Mom and Dad. They look at my blog and say all they do is laugh and can't believe I have a blog and the things I write about! They told me to get a life. How mean are they! They are so rude and I'm so mad at you guys! So if you're reading this now, I hope you feel really bad. Oh and Jojo I'm writing about you in my next post. Hope you get a laugh out of it. You guys are going to feel really bad if I delete my blog. Won't you?

I think the only people that read it or make fun of it anyways are you guys. Now I know for sure I was adopted. Virgina and Sam come take me away!

Farmers Market and a little bit of this and that.

Just got home with my Mom and Georgie from the farmers market! I love going. We try and go every Saturday then we always go to breakfast after. I love my Mom. She truly is such an amazing person and is so loving and is such a wonderful Mother. She's so patient and so smart and loves life to the fullest. I love being with her and spending time with her even if it's just laying on her bed watching her iron. I am so blessed to have her as my mom and Georgie just adores her.

Today, I'm going to finish up going through clothes from my closet. I have SO many it's a bit ridiculous! I'm donating a lot to the cancer center. I'm purging on a lot of stuff and it feels so good. Right now, we are living with Steve's dad, rent free, which is SO nice and once Steve starts working and passes the bar we want to buy a home. We already have been looking and I can't wait to have a home again. I have so much kitchen stuff and home decor and love to decorate and Steve loves to cook so having a home that is ours will be wonderful.

Last week, I went to Tahoe with my whole family for a week! We had a wonderful, relaxing time. We went to the beach everyday! I thought it would be nice to let Steve study with a quiet house so we stayed at Aunt Jackie's condo in Tahoe City. It was so beautiful there and the weather was amazing! We cooked some great food, well my sis did, and drank some great wine and just enjoyed being away from the heat. It was hard to come home but good to see Steve and Peanut and just be in our own bed.

Tonight we are going to the Danna's for dinner. They caught abalone in Fort Bragg and they invited us over for a big abalone feast! I love abalone. Hope everyone has a great weekend! Try and stay cool.

Happy Birthday America and Grandpa George!

Hope everyone had a great Fourth of July! We sure did. We started the day at my sister Mary's BBQ at noon and then left and went to Aunt Jackie's for a wonderful dinner and great wine. It was Steve's Grandpa's 74th birthday! I told him his birthday is a day where everyone celebrates. We had a wonderful time! Georgie loved the pool, homemade ice cream and even the fireworks. I'll post pictures soon. She, of course, looked like a doll in her outfit. I love summer and love being with family.
Today is July 5th, and I'm thinking chicken tacos for dinner or we may go to dinner with some friends. It's so HOT and I really don't want to cook. Spaghetti night sounds delicious ! Happy Monday everyone!!!
