porch talks and spiders

the day of our first date when the hubs drove up to my house to drop me off, he said:

"I like your house"

i said: 

"thanks! i like you"

R later said that was when he knew he was going to marry me. 

we had these "porch talks" because my curfew was 10 p.m. but as long as i was home (aka my porch) it was ok if R stayed longer, so he would. 

we would talk for sometimes 3 hours on my porch and we would watch the rain fall, the stars, and talk about everything from how I was scared of worms, how i wanted to be a teacher, how he wanted to get his PhD someday, and the fact that spiders really freaked us both out (i told him he better fudging kill them if we ever saw one).

during one of these porch talks is when i knew for sure i would marry him.

p.s. he still kills the fudging spiders

What's on A's Phone?!?

**idea from L :)

hahaha this was Crazy Med school before I took a test on Monday

fatties

henry ford museum, i was having a REALLY great hair day not gonna lie

just running after my little fav

omg best idea EVER. 

this was at the library. i didn't bring in her diaper bag, and guess what? she pooped.

yoga time! its not a requirement for pants after 6 p.m. at our house (at least for C)

her first little pony tail! the hubs thinks its pointless but i think its SO CUTE i could die.

this cat. i love him but he always steals my spot, i was literally gone for 2 seconds

one of C's fav things to do is try on shoes

just hanging out in an old airplane at henry ford

tea partying it up

love these two knuckle heads

the top knot

trying out my new black MAXI! i finnnallly found it at target :)
skirt: target, tank: von maur, jean jacket: H and M, belt: von maur, earrings: urban outfitters

so i found this new amazing way to do my hair in a top knot (in my pic) or in beachy waves go here she has literally the prettiest hair i have ever seen. ever.

i need major help with accessories. i love earrings and necklaces but i can never seem to put them together for one cohesive look...i guess its probably fine. after we took this picture i looked at it and wished i would of worn big gold studs and then a longer necklace of some sort...but the hubs gets annoyed taking too many pics (and lets be serious i already am back in my sweat pants).

those cupcakes that my dad bought for my early bday celebration are taunting me from my fridge. like srsly about to go eat one.

C has never been a super cuddly baby, never wants you to snuggle her, except when she is sick.  but like 2 days ago she started actually coming up to me and the hubs and hugging us, and then today she pulled my face towards her with her two hands and gave me a big slobbery kiss. omg. i almost died of complete happiness.

sunday fun day

shirt: gap, pants: kohls, scarf: target, coat: lands end
awkward poses brought to you by: me, myself, and I!

Last night my parents and the hubs surprised me with a birthday celebration early! Since my dad won't be here for my birthday this year (the life of a traveling sales man) he planned an extravaganza (as he would say) he got me tulips (my fav), cupcakes (also my fav) and had the hubs make me my favorite burgers.  It was so sweet, and just what I needed i was feeling kind of down in the dumps yesterday until the hubs said we were getting milkshakes from Steak and Shake (yummm) so yes long story short i was a complete fatty yesterday (its probably fine).  Today we start insanity again. we have to be in great shape for all these weddings this summer!

and then the hubs surprised me with a valentines trip to snow shoe up north! i just had the best day yesterday for real.  well all except that one poop incident.

at the Henry Ford museum

we had such a great weekend, tickle fights, jumping on the bed, Henry Ford Museum, great food, snow...it was just so nice. and then something happened.

I was changing C this morning and all the sudden I smelled something not very pleasant.  so I decided to change her diaper...i opened it up and holy CRAP. literally. so disgusting. it reminded me of when she projectile pooped all over me when she was teeny.  she was wriggling around so much that my. hand. touched. her. poop.  i screamed at the hubs and made him finish changing her, while i washed my hands literally like 10 times. 

i can't wait until she is potty trained.

saturday morning

a little look into our saturday morning...jumping on the bed is our absolute favorite activity for these lazy mornings, and afterwards we love eating animal crackers from the HUGE bin we get at costco.  the days when i think to myself that i will never have another kid, i remember the moments like these ones, moments that i will never forget.

1.) my pictures have been turning out so blurry lately...i can't get the focus right or something...oh well I still really liked these pictures so I am posting them. sometimes when Char walks she looks like a penguin or a short fat person bc she keeps her arms up and waddles. so. cute. 

2.) pottery. barn. kids. omg. i can't even handle it. i want every single thing. there is this retro kitchen that is pink and perfect...and chevron everything. omg. 

3.) so the other day when i said i was going to target? well we got there and it was on that day it was 55 degrees out and raining and this truck sped past me and Char in the parking lot and DRENCHED us with water. needless to say we didn't make it into target that day.  but today the hubs let us go after i picked him up from work and i was looking for the black maxi skirt i really want, but i didn't find it so i got a polka dot shirt instead.
