Welcome 2010

Well I figured that the new year would be as good a time as any to write a new post.. since the last time i posted was in October.. lol Much has happened since then. For those of you who do not already know, we are expecting baby number 2 in July sometime around the 5th and are so excited. We found out back in october but were waiting to tell everyone till i started getting fat haha. But im allowed to gain weight now haha no losing weight for me this new year haha. We are so excited for baby number 2 though, cant wait!
Another new thing is that elly is walking. she just started one day and is starting to get fast lol. Shes so cute to watch take little steps as she tenitively steps into toddlerhood. Oh i cant believe how big she is. Shes 10 months old!!! Yikes where has the time gone lol We love her so much more than words can say. I highly reccomend children to those of you who dont have them lol. They are the biggest most wonderful challenge ever but the most worth it.
Today is a big day of memories for me, 2 years ago today I met the man of my dreams. It was at a new years eve party that i didnt want to go to but my best bud chelsea made me. Boy am I glad that I went. Even from the moment we met I knew there was going to be soemthing different about anthony. We just clicked, and still do. I love him so incredibly much and probably dont show or tell him enough. He is the most wonderful husband, provider and father. I couldnt have found a better man. He puts up with all my shortcomings, and I have many. I love him so much.. no matter what you girls say i have the best hubby in the world lol.
Well I'll try to keep more posts up. When we find out what were having i'll be sure to post it. Happy new year everyone!! Loves the Lock-Smiths!

Tinkerbell anyone?

Well hello all bloggers!! Halloween was fun for elly and I but poor anthony had to work. Elly made an adorable monkey and I made a pretty cute tinkerbell, sporting my new haircut. Anthony made 50$ on tips but that was the brightest spot in his night.. oh besides us stopping by his work to show off how cute elly was. Well thats our quick halloween update.

Here is elly an i before dressed up.

Jen mom and I all dressed up.. mom looks gorgous and jen is awesome she fit into her high school cheerleading outfit after having 2 kids.. GO JEN!

The cute tinkerbell with her friend monkey.. isnt elly SO cute!

And elly and dusty. Dusty had a dog on his shirt. lol

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 :)
