Piggy tails and my new outfit

Last Sunday I forced kelsie to stay still long enough for me to put pigtails In her hair. And when I say forced I literally had Jamie hold her head while she was screaming at the top of her lungs like I was trying to kill her or something. She's such a baby sometimes ;) All that screaming turned out to be worth it cuz she looked super cute in her pigtails! So the outfit I'm wearing in this pic is the most stylish outfit I own and I am pretty proud of myself. I got it for less then $10 at name brand exchange. Heads up if you ever try to take an overly fussy, extremely mobile baby to name brand they have curtains instead of stalls for changing rooms. Yep, you guessed it! Kelsie would not stay in the changing room which meant I was constantly chasing after her while trying to try on my clothes. Bottom line is that it's a miracle that I even made it out of that store alive and without flashing everybody.

Because I know you all care...

I went to the gym tonight after work for the first time in ages! "My gym"is pretty sweet and you should join! I say ""my gym" cuz I've only been twice... But you really should come with me! I get to bring a buddy in every time I go for free and there's a pool, sauna, jacuzzi , and movie theater room! It's as cheap as $10 a month too! Child are is only $1 for a max of 2 hrs, roo only lasted 30min last time which is one of my brilliant excuses for why I haven't been in forever. My gym is conveniently located 5 min away from my work which is also 5 min away from my favorite sushi bar where I order takeout waaay to frequently. Do you see where this is heading? Well... I worked out and then I decided to get some salmon sashimi (raw salmon) after my workout. I know you're thinking I'm gonna tell you some gross story about how I got sick or something but I didn't. It was delicious! I'm gross I know. Thanks for listening :)

Zoo trips

Well, as you all probably know we are now the proud new owners of a Phx zoo membership. We've been a few times now and love it! Kelsie calls every animal she sees a doggie. Basically I paid a lot of money for her to chase down ducks at the splash pad... They are fleeing for their lives from a very quick toddler and she just wants to hug them. Our last trip we went with some friends and I'm so sad we didn't get a group picture. It was fun getting to see The munchkins all together and to see how much they are growing. We will now be accepting applications for friends that would like to be our "buddies". We can get 1 adult in free and kids under 3 are free. I know it may seem like we're bribing you to be our friends but its cuz we are...

Romping (aka four wheelin')

The family that romps together stays together... Unless someone dies cuz romping is extremely dangerous in my opinion. I take care of too many people that are turned into vegetables because of head injuries. Vent over. We took roo out to one of mine and Jamie's favorite places to go with friends before we became tied down by the love of our lives :) hehe Butcher Jones! We took kelsie up a small hill and let her ride on my lap on the dirt roads. Then we preceded to get out of the car so we could watch daddy take the new truck for a spin up some scary hills. At least roo will have one parent right? Guys romping isn't that horrible if you know what you're doing... But I just get scared easily because I've seen the worst of the worst and those "freak accident" cases so I feel like I have a right to be. I didn't used to be like this, I was wild.

Want this.

Want this. Need this. Gotta have it. My life might not ever be complete unless I find a bench that looks exactly like this for the foot of our bed. If that doesn't sound dramatic enough for you then let me know. It's from target.com and is sold out :( pretty bench. I think I like to decorate a little too much... Which is not easy when you have OCD let me tell you!

Blogs

So I decided blogs are pretty lame when people don't update them... What's the point of even having a blog anyways?! I get so annoyed when I'm trying to blog stalk people and they never post anything. Lame-o's!
Then I realize that I fall into the lame-o category because its been months since I have posted anything. Ooops! Sorry friends that want to know all the juicy details of my life ;)

Details of my week:
-last weekend Jamie and I took a quick trip to six flags for our anniversary while my mom watched Roo for the weekend. Don't get us wrong, we loved the thrill rides but we both decided we're a little over six flags cuz of the long lines and crowds of awkward pple groping each other... For reals though. We both decided a quiet camping trip with roo would be our next vacay of choice :)
- I worked Friday and Jamie went camping with the scouts so instead of catching up on the ton of stuff I have to do I strategically invited Rachel and David over for a "girls night" full of catching up on walking dead while Rachel tried not to throw up. Then I flat out used them to watch my child while I ran to get some late night sushi. Raw please. Mmm love salmon sashimi! Nom nom nom! I love friends that you can do nothing with and still have fun!

- This morning I woke up waaay too early to help take the young women on a hike. I was grumpy on the inside cuz I had to wake up so early on my day off and wake up roo but it turned out to be such a fun time with some awesome girls! Roo was giggling the whole hike because she liked her hiking backpack so much and was such a good girl for being woken up so early and skipping her morning nap. My goal is to start making hiking and other fun fitness stuff a priority on weekends I don't work. Katie let's make this happen! (And everyone else that would like to join us :) )

Less talk and more pics? Ok!

Play dates at Grammie's house

When I'm at work and I get picture messages like these from my mom it makes my whole day better! Kelsie sure is one lucky gal to have a grammie that loves her so much. She loves her grammie play dates while I'm at work. It reminds me of how much I loved getting to go to my grandmas house when I was little :) It makes going to work so much easier!
