Fa fa fa fa fa-riday!

Happy Friday! This week was all kinds of exciting:

1. First, I got my hair cut!  8 inches to donate!! I'm diggin the new locks so far...definitely a lot faster!!

2. Summer is in full swing -- don't tell anyone but I kind of like the super hot weather! Makes it really feel like summer!  (it wasn't really 108 BTW...after I started driving it dropped to a chilly 101)


3. I finally got a new car seat ordered for Cora.  It won't be here in time for our first trip...so this will be a nice last big trip with the old seat!

4. Shopping FAIL.  After forgetting my wallet in the cart at the grocery store this week I decided I should probably go back to carrying a purse...not trying to juggle a baby, wallet, phone and keys all the time.  So I went everywhere in town but couldn't find what I was looking for.  So bummed.

5. Last, it's vacation day!! We are headed to the northland for a week! YAY!!! (on a side note I CAN NOT believe it is the 4th of July next week -- eek!!!!)  It's going to be in the 70s and 80s there, so I need to remember to throw in my snow pants and wools socks before we leave this afternoon.

peaing....

Corabella is getting quite the little personality.  She is the happiest little thing -- always smiling and giggling.  She is a good little eater....she LOVES meat -- she will pick it out of everything on her tray.  Meat, then bread, then cheese, then fruit, and last vegetables.

She is also really coordinated with her hands she can pick up the smallest crumb with her pincher fingers.  Friday night we were all eating dinner...she was enjoying roast, potatoes and some peas.  As usual eating all the meat first -- but then apparently the peas were in her way...she carefully picked up one pea (peas are hard to grab because they roll around) and nonchalantly dropped it over the edge of her high chair...coincidence? no.  She repeated it several more times...only with peas.  THEN she picked up a potato and ate it. Then a pea and over the side it went.  

What a naughty girl -- it really was too cute and too funny not to laugh. 

of course she wouldn't do it when I started filming her..

baby giggles

Having a bad day?  Baby giggles is the cure..

6 years???

I can't believe it has been 6 years!!!!  6 years...wow.  that is 72 months -- more the 26,000 days.  This seriously could be one of the most impressive, fulfilling things I have ever accomplished.  And certainly, it seems, like more than most people can say.  I know I don't usually get sentimental --- but this really is sort of a big deal.  I mean I lose my car keys and phone 5 times a day on a GOOD day...I lost my hair brush like a month ago...still haven't found it (don't worry I have a back up)...so today, when I realized that I bought my sunglasses 6 years ago before we went on our honeymoon and that I STILL have had the SAME PAIR of sunglasses 6 years later, well, with all due modesty, makes me pretty freakin awesome.


on the other hand, it probably says something about my lack of style....


True love...

True love on this the 6th anniversary of our marriage.. up to this point I have been unwilling to match my dear husbands socks...as he is super super super over the top silly about it...see here.


but today...yes, I thought...hey I can read code...wouldn't it be nice of me to go out of my way to help him out...make his life a little easier...

(okay, actually I thought, "hey I can either match these and put them away now, or be prepared to look at them piled up here for the next two weeks waiting for someone else to match them")

either way, I searched for the code, deciphered the markings and matched the **** socks. happy anniversary.

Friday Five

Well, hello Friday, we meet again...

What a fun week! Last weekend we relaxed with some fishing...

it's summertime! LOVE being outside and out and about...

our neighbors got an indoor pet goat...yes.

Cora has taken her new bike trailor out for a few rides...

and she has been crawling and pulling up all over the place.

 

also, I often get comments about her good picture on facebook, etc.  I'd just like to say that for everyone one of these really cute bottom left type pictures...we get 10 of the I'm trying to eat you or your phone bottom right type pictures.

Hmm interesting: lonley goatherd

So our neighbors brought home a pet goat a few days ago... He lives in their house and hangs out on a leash. Interesting.

No, I'm not kidding... But our neighbors are. (Just a little goat humor...ha! "Little goat" I didn't even think about that part. I'm unwittingly hilarious, I will assume you all agree)

Sup yosifs.

This Sunday I took my famizzle fishizzleling.

I caught this fish:

  and this fish:
 and one other fish... all with my little spider man fishing pole.  and all better than these little fish:

  the babies didn't get to fish.  they spent some time playing in baby jail...and clearly were not impressed.
