My crazy little Milly

Milly is almost 22 months old. I can't believe that is two months she will be 2!!!!!!!!!!! She is growing up so fast!!! I want to do a little update on her.
Here are some fun things about my little monster.
-makes a great crazy face!!!
-LOVES movies, a little too much some days! Her fav's are Cars, Rio, how to train your train, and ponyo.
-loves to run and will race down any long hallway
-loves shoes, toothbrushes, and sunglasses
-is a great little swimmer, we go swimming almost everyday!!
-thinkings wrestling is sooo funny. She does this fake laugh when she wrestle hehehe hahaha hehehe hahaha sounds just like that.
-will try to say almost any word we tell her to say. Sometime you can understand it most times she only says the last part of the word. Love you = you, have a good day =day, ok mom = mom some phrases she is really good at saying are thank you, please, your welcome, nice, NO, ok, airplane, car, train, stop it, crying and she sings some of the lyrics to Nikki minaj's song starships. It is soo cute! I new to get a video of her doing it.
-she is a very picky eater
-doesn't nap in her crib anymore, she will only fall asleep if she is on a walk in the stroller or a ride in the car.
-loves daddy and screams with excitement when he comes home!!
-loves her blanket and her B's (her minke animal)
-thinks earrings are sooo cool! Especially mommies dangly ones.
-is an awesome dancer
-tries to sing the ABC's
-loves her nana and ahma(grandma) and papa and all her cousins. She gets soo excited to see them!
I love this little girl! She tests my patience everyday but I wouldn't trade being this little ladies mother for anything!!


























Love her cheesy grin!!

Goodbye Facebook

Well I finally did it! I have been wanting to delete my Facebook for a few months now for quite a few reasons: I spent WAY too much time on it wasting soo much of my time that I could be giving to my precious family! I also didn't really love that it was the same FB that I had back in high school (pics of ex's not cool) I was also feeling slightly judged. Therefore it has been deleted! And can I just say, IT FEELS SO GOOD! I am spending more time playing with Milly in my down time and I also am finding other ways to entertain myself! Swimming, playing ball and going on walks have been Milly's favorites. I still have my instagram but I am going ultra private with it. Mostly family. Please please don't be offended if you don't have access to that. It's a personal choose and I hope it can be respected. In replacement of FB and insta I am going to be working on this blog. Trying to record the memories of our family! Milly is so young and we are having so many fun adventures and I feel like a lot of the good that we have in our life doesn't get recognized the way it should. My goal with this change is to record the fun and exciting things our family does and sometimes even the boring and hard things we deal with. We are not a perfect family and we have bad days but we are always trying to make the best out of every situation we are in! ANYWAYS I am going on for way to long! If you read this or don't that's great! I am just excited to be starting a change! Enjoy!!

Virginia is for lovers

Headed to the pool only to have the pool close 5 minutes after we got there because of the weather

So this is what we did instead. Swimming in the bath tub! Total hit!

Sleeping on Daddy during our 5 hour layover

Watching a movie during our 5 hour layover

Right before we left for the airport! She was so excited to go on an airplane!

well call us crazy! We decided to go out and sell again for the remainder of this summer. So at a weeks notice we packed up and flew out to Fairfax, VA. It's about 30 minutes from Washington DC. We are super excited, we think this will be a really fun adventure! Neither of us have been to DC since we were both about 12 years old. We are living in a extended stay. When Brady first told me this I thought oh this is not going to be fun. 1 bedroom + a very sensitive sleeping 2 year old = absolute insanity! But so far I have been pleasantly surprised! Milly is sleeping in a pack and play in our room with us, but it has a door and the living room has a pull out bed if we need to use it. There are way too many perk to staying at an extended stay that make me think it will all be worth it in the long run. We have a free breakfast every morning and dinner 3 nights a week, free internet and cable, maid service will come every day if I want them too! A pool, and fitness center. plus I have a full kitchen minus an oven to cook in! and i might add the kitchen is fully stocked! The pro's to stay here far out way the bad. Milly is still adjusting to the time change, hopefully in the next few days she will get better adjusted to it. We are renting a car while we are out here. And we can only afford to rent one car so I am car-less from about 1 o'clock till about 10. that has been quite the challenge for me since before we left that was the only place Milly would nap. I'm pretty sure that her not napping is helping her adjust to the time change better tho because she is getting tired earlier. pros and cons. I wish i had more pictures!

I'm BACK!!

Wow so it has been almost a full year since I updated this blog!! Way to long! Way to much to catch up on so I will just start with where we are at now!
Brady- he is now selling insurance with his cousins at their agency called Landmark Insurance. He is really enjoying himself! He still sells for pinnacle on the side just to make ends meet while he is getting this insurance thing up and going!
He has been doing Insanity for the last 7 weeks and is really looking GREAT! He is down in a pant size and is down 4 belt loop holes! I am so proud of how dedicated he has been with this work out! I will have to post his before and after pictures soon!!
Milly- she is now 18 months old and has hit the terrible two stage! We have tantrums being thrown everyday and all day! I am hoping I don't go insane by the time she is over the terrible twos! She is talking like crazy! She says pretty much anything you ask her to, if she is in the right mood! She know most of the animals in all her animal books and she knows the sounds that go along with them! Now that this weather is getting nice we are at the pool or splash pad almost everyday!! Milly LOVES being outside and loves loves loves swimming! She has a little life jacket that she wears and she just swim swim swims! We will be doing swim lessons a couple times this summer and I also want to do either a dance class or gymnastics class with her! This kid LOVES to dance! She is wild too! She loves watching tv which is so bad cuz I have a hard time not having the tv on all day! She is funny cuz if it is a movie she has seen a few times she will try and quote the movie! She is growing up so fast! She even goes pee pee in the potty before bath at night! Her hair is getting way long and I have had so much fun playing with it!
Me- there isn't a whole lot that is new with me. I am a webelo scout leader with Brady! It is a very interesting calling... I can't decide if I am a fan of it yet!
I am working on a knitting project! It's a little baby blanket for our next kid. (NO I AM NOT PREGNANT!)
Anyways, here are some recent pictures!
