long legs, sunset and messy face...

I feel that it's been a long time since I posted last, but really I think I did a post like 4 days ago or something ridiculous like that. This post is entitled long legs, sunset and messy face. Which you already might have guessed is about the pictures posted above. We haven't really been doing anything exciting as of late. Just hanging around home and trying to resist the urge to Christmas shop. Reason being Lethbridge Park Place Mall just got a Lululemon and I would probably go a blow all the money I have for shopping on me at that store. sigh . one day Em, one day...

Anyways I just thought that I throw up a couple randoms froom our week.

#1 is Aubrey drinking her "nilky" in the usual position, does it look like her legs are long? I will be so happy if this is the case! A daughter of mine actually having lengthy legs, Christmas miracle? maybe.

#2 is a beautiful sunset, Andrew always bugs me because I see something like that gorgeous Southern Alberta sunset and my first thought is "Where's the camera?" I am definitely my dad's daughter. What a beautiful sight. This is one reason I love our new house, it's set up in a way that there are no houses across the street and we can see out into the field, nothing blocking our view. If we had some binoculars I could actually spy on Aunt Debby, Uncle Ian and Grandpa Wood. I should invest...

#3 is just a picture of Aubrey and I in front of another one of my painting jobs, this ones in the kitchen. I also posted it because I NEVER put pictures up of myself on here, so there I am!

#4 is Aubrey AGAIN, I just can't get enough of her. Last Sunday she just started saying words, it's amazing! Her messy face is from eating a "NACK!!" (snack). She says lots of things now. Nilky (bottle), AH MAH (Oh man!), Wuw (Will), and just about anything else you tell her to say. She really hadn't spoken before that alot, she is finally blooming!

getting into the christmas "spirits"...

Today Will and Aubrey  invited a couple friends over to decorate cookies and do a Christmas craft. It was fun to see all of the creations and to eat a bunch of delicious cookies. We'll have to do it again soon!!! The one thing that did not turn out so great is that I found Will hiding in his closet drinking baby Tylenol. I asked him what he was doing and he said he had a headache, resonable enough I guess.... I take Tylenol when I have a headache, why shouldn't Will? But all in all we had a great time listening to Christmas music and flinging icing on our cookies. Thanks for coming Gage, Addi, Austin, Macy, Olivia and Lauren!!!

will's view on things

Today I was uploading my pictures onto the computer and something caught me by suprise, I didn't take those... Will must have snuck the camera and had a secret photoshoot with Aubrey. These are just so cute. I will only post the Aubrey pictures, there's more, but they are all quite incriminating shots and one unflattering view of my butt. (But who am I kidding are any shot of my butt flattering? that's why I started working out...) ENJOY!

sharing

I love to see this, my actual hard work as a momma is paying off. I love to watch Will be a big brother and do his part to help Aubrey... seconds later he quickly pulled away the popsicle and Aubrey had a fit. But I captured something lovely, it's true what they say that pictures never tell the whole story.

So I'm bored and I thought that I would do a random blog just to type. I can never fall asleep early (or at all for that matter) when Andy is on night shifts, so I choose tonight to write. I AM tired, but just can't sleep. We have been having quite the eventful couple of days at our house. Aubrey got sick, her very first real pukey sick. She threw up 11 times in one hour. I love laundry, whenever I do it I am so thankful for washers and dryers, just think of how people used to do their washing...brutal.

Whatelse...Today I got my bangs trimmed and I FINALLY started working out again, I don't know why I didn't start sooner, it makes you feel so good! I don't know what spurred on this sudden urge, I think it was because I tried on my grad dress and couldn't zip that baby up...UGH! But I am excited to be visiting with my good friend Sharon Mann every morning now. I love my workout video to death. There is only one thing that bugs me about it and it is this, there is always one guy participating in the workouts, his name is Bruce, and Sharon Mann is always so googley-eyed over him, she talks all about him all the time, about his kids and how he can make his technique better, pretty much picks on this man. She also talks about how HOT he is and I'm sorry to say that he is NOT. Poor Bruce and your tight in all the wrong places spandex. ( I hope he doesn't read this...)

cute-sy

There are 2 things that I LOVE alot.

#1. Is "cute-sifying" my kids.

#2. Is "cute-sifying" my home.

I did both in the last week, proud of me?

Here are my "cute-sifyed" Will and Aubrey getting ready to go skating.
and here is the baby lady by herself, being extra cute-sy.
Here is a before of the innards of my drawers in the kitchen
and here is the "cute-sifyed" version of them now. I love contact paper. It has become my new friend. 

before and after

I DID IT!!! I went with everyone's kind suggestions and changed to brown! I'm so glad that I did! What do you think now? Hopefully you like it, I'm NOT painting that wall ever again.

The green has been moved to a new wall in our kitchen, I like it there much better.
