The tale of the tooth...

So to update you on the whole adjustment thing, elly sleeps fantastic now, for the first week it was just 5 hour streches (because she was teething) but she broke 2 teeth and now sleeps from 830-530.. I know!!! Its amazing, shes so much happier and everhthing.. Shes amazing.

Anyways the other day she was crawling around on the floor and anthony was on the couch and she bit his foot.. with those 2 razor sharp teeth.. he wast too happy about it but it was funny to me. Her teeth look so cute in her little mouth :) she now eats grahm crackers, and some times we'll give her a french fry lol. But shes getting so big. She's almost 8 months old and so mobile, I think she'll be walking by thanksgiving... YIKES! haha. She keeps us plenty busy and on our toes. Anthony is doing great in his school and not going crazy at work. lol. I am keeping A's in my classes, despite the lack of drive to do homework lol. Today we got to go to Chelsea and Wes Ward's wedding and it was fabulous!! YAY for chels and wes! Congrats and best wishes!

Chiaropractic Update!

beep beep beep ba beep... This just in!
Elly jane slept from 830-230 then 330-9!! i know, amazing. Ever since her adjustment she has been more content, happier and sleeping better every night. When we went in for her follow up, her scan was almost completely normal, hardly any red. I was amazed. They adjusted what was red and said she should be on the mend and she is. Her balance seems to be better, shes in a better mood, and most importantly she's sleeping better than she ever has. I am so SO greatful that heavenly father finally helped me find an answer to my many many prayers. Sometimes im too stubborn to listen and he knows that, so im so glad he helped me listen.
Elly is such a wonderful joy and blessing in mine and anthony's life. So for any moms who just cant get their kids to sleep and have tried everything else, give the adjustment a try.. and I hope you have the same luck as i did :)

Infant Chiaropractors

So today I took elly to a chiaropractor to get an adjustment, because i cant think of any other reason why she's been grumpy and not sleeping lately. When I took her there they did a scan on her back with this thing that looked like a claw lol. well the chairopractor said he back was pretty tweaked and there was good reasons why she was sore, and that was what was making her colicky. So they gave her an adjustment and immediately she looked sleepy. The chairopractor said to let her sleep and if she got sore just put a warm rag on her back.. she had a nap right before the appointment but promptly fell asleep driving home. then she was happier, and more alert when she woke up, she ate her food without a fuss and went to bed at 830.. so far the chiaropractor has seemed to work. I hope so cause she needs sleep to grow and i wouldnt mind a few extra hours of sleep. We'll see how it pans out tonight and then she has another appointment for a final adjustment tomorrow :) I hope it works, so far im a believer!! Well thats my elly update.

Updates on me and anthony. I got a 100 on my math test the other day. yes im pretty proud of myself. Anthony is doing well in all his classes too and im so proud of him because he works so hard on everything he does :) I am a lucky women. well thats our update :)

FRAZZLED!!

I feel like a horrible mom.. My daughter doesnt sleep very good and last night she was up four times and then at 5am decided to wake up and not go back to sleep.. i kept my cool and tried for an hour to put her to sleep then, without success, then anthony tried for an hour,with no success. So I let anthony come back to bed and i got up with her.. well she wouldnt do anything.. wouldnt take a bottle wouldnt stop screaming. (oh and shes standing up and trying to climb out of her crib.. so I put her in the walker(screaming) and try to lower the crib.. well the crib is retarded and i cant get it to work and im already frustrated so i get a little harsh toned with elly.. Why am I so stupid, she is a beautiful little girl who doesnt know better than to cry when she needs something. I love her so much but I get so frustrated sometimes. I just feel bad because she doesnt know better and I am a horrible ogre. My poor husband must think .. I married a psycho cause i just freaked out. Well anyways, im just a little frazzled.. any of you moms had days like these?

good people in the world

So today I did something kind of stupid. On my way to a friends birthday party I stopped to get gas. Well when I went to put my card into the little slot on the gas thing I dropped my card behind the covering that covers where the gas comes out. .. yah there was a teeny crack and my card fell through and all the way behind.. I am sitting there thinking oh crap! So I get elly out of her carseat and go in and ask the guy working behind the counter if there is anything we can do to get it. He says of course I can come look and see if there is anything I can do, he also said how cute elly was.. He was maybe 20 not an old man. He came out to the pump and unlocked the covering and looked in .. we found it at the very bottom, just past our reach.. So this super nice guy goes inside and finds a hanger and sticks his whole head and arm down in this dirty grimy area just to help me. He wouldnt let me help and was courteous and polite the whole time. Boy was I great ful. Such a nice guy and I owe him big, he wouldnt even let me tip him. So to whoever you are that helped me, I appreciate it and am ever greatful.
It never ceases to amaze me that there are still super nice people. I felt like such an idiot but he was a very nice guy and i am so greatful. I just thought I would like to say thank you to this guy.
Yay for people who are still willing to help strangers, even if they are dumb like me :)

Our first date story.. hahah

So for our first date.. ok let me back up. Anthony was a little intimidated by the fact that as soon as we started seeing eachother that my family wanted to meet him.. (if you know my family you know they arent intimidating there is just alot of them haha) so one sunday right after we started dating i invited him to dinner at my moms( not thinking to meet my parents but just to eat some real food.. but he thought i was doing the meet and greet thing and it almost scared him off hahaha). I just think its funny haha

So for our first date, he was supposed to get off of work at 8 and he was going to come pick me up.. well 830 rolls around and hes not there. So I non-celantly(spelling?) text him asking him whats up.. in my head im thinking what the heck our first date and he isnt here( of course by this time we had been dating for like a week, well the snuggling and holding hands and spending every nigth together part.. when i say we hit it off we did ) well he calls me when he gets off work and asks me where i live. So I explain and he is like.. can you meet me somewhere haha I dont want to have to find your house. So I was like sure lets me at jack in the box. My mom of course was like what!! I wanna meet him.. I said you will mom you will, just not tonight haha. So I leave looking pretty darn cute, or i hope i did cause i spent like an hour getting ready. You know what im talking about girls :) So we meet at jack in the box and he is like ok lets get some milk shakes( now I had just eaten a huge, well normal mitton family dinner, of mashed potatos roast and veggi's..) but I am kind of a big fan of milk shakes so i was like sure a small one, even though I was completely stuffed already. So guess what anthony orders.. a large! So anthony's idea of a first date is not the typical dinner and a movie it is much more awesome. He drove me up barts field and parked in the snow at the new performing arts center(i know parking is wrong on a date ;) haha) anyways so we start playing 20 questions.. or in our case it was like 10. This was we got to ask any question we wanted and it had to be answered truth fully. It was alot of fun and a great date idea. So as we are sitting there starting to ask questions and eating our milk shakes.. im getting super full.. and i say "i dont know if im going to be able to finish this" and anthony says in his sarcastic little tease "if you dont finish it were never going to jack in the box again" ... Now im really REALLY stuffed.. but i choke it down and.. almost throw it up.. the last gulps im starting to gag( when anthony realizes that im almost throwing up he starts to feel bad but is totally impressed and finds me amazing.. hahah ) well as i take those last gulps a ISU cop pulls up behind us and gets out of the car.. walks up to anthony's window and says, " do you know your parked in a road way?" im trying my hardest not to laugh and anthony is thinking " oh crap she probably thinks im a complete idiot " so we tell the cop we didnt know, because we didnt know lol, and the cop asks for liscence and regestration. Unfortunately anthony had recently lost his wallet and not gotten a new liscense yet.. it was really funny. so then the cop tells us where to go park lol.. we thought this was funny cause it was a cop telling a guy and a girl in a car where to "park" . So we find a new spot and finish our game. by this time its probably 12 lol. then we decide its getting late and as we drive back to my car we listen to some of anthonys music which he wrote and plays.. its amazing by the way. Well when we get to my car we both keep talking, prolonging goodbyes.. one because we dont want it to be done and 2 because we hadnt perfected the whole hug goodnight thing.. in other words anthony was too chicken for a while. so as im walking to my car he gets out of his and pulls me into a hug and says"we need to work on this whole.. goodnight thing." and i giggle and say "yah you do, your kind of a chicken" and he laughs and slowly gently kisses me and says "again, and again,and again" well you get the idea, we kiss on first dates.. then he sweetly says thank you i had a great time, drive safe., and we part..

Perfect first date:) can I just say that my husband is officially the most amazing guy ever. He has and is always so sweet and thoughtful. always doing little things like texting me "I love you " randmly during the day. Always telling me how beautiful I am. How lucky he is. I am the luckiest girl alive, and my baby girl has the best daddy in the world. Once while we were engaged and I was back in illinios babysitting my cousins for a week(hardest week ever) he sent me an email saying" life was empty without me, like nothing he could do without me would be as fulfilling as just being with me. "and so much more cute stuff.

This is the man I love and the man I married who is just wonderful. I hope all you other women are as lucky as I. :) well goodnight!
