our weekend in nc

This past weekend we went down to NC to visit my sister and her family. We, of course, had a great time. Saturday we had lunch out at Qdoba and then my sister and I went to get a pedicure while Matt watched Ava and Lily. The pedicure was GREAT! I sure wish I could get one of those all the time. If you are a girl and you've never treated yourself to one, you don't know what you're missing out on!! They massage your legs and feet - the whole bit. So now I have beautiful feet for a little while.

Sunday we went to church. They have shuttle parking at Dawn's church which they always ride cause Ava loves it. On the way back to the car after church Lily konked out. And I mean she had to really be konked out because we were on the back of the bus and they hit these HUGE speed bumps really hard and she stayed asleep.

Dawn's belly is getting very big but really she looks great for having twins and being this far along. If she doesn't go in to labor before, they will plan to do a c-section the first week of June. I got to feel the babies moving although the boy was more active than the girl. Pregnant bellies are just the coolest thing. If you've never been pregnant, there's NOTHING like feeling it from the inside though. It is the greatest feeling having your baby kicking around inside you!

Ava did okay with Lily. It's funny because sometimes she's so cute with her and other times she does not like her at all. We've noticed that if we're not paying attention to them, that's when Ava will be all sweet with Lily. One evening we turned around and noticed that Ava was reading one of Lily's little books to her on the floor. SO cute!! Ava does NOT like the crying or Lily accidently touching her. She would FLIP out if Lily's arm or foot hit her. Ava also doesn't like if Lily gets anything dirty (i.e. - spit up, etc.). She is in for a big awakening I think with the soon to be arrival of a new brother and sister! After the baby stage though, Ava's gonna LOVE having a brother and sister to play with.

boring bloggers

My sister and I were just discussing (as we are both sitting on our laptops) how we hate when people don't update their blogs regularly or when someone decides to start a blog, posts once, and then doesn't ever continue with it. ARGH! A big pet peeve of mine as you might can tell. There are some circumstances that I will give people a break on, for example, having a newborn baby (like myself for the first month or two), being sick, etc.

So for all you bloggers out there that haven't updated recently or don't regularly update, get on top of it! Or at least don't start one if you aren't going to keep up with it! :) I sound pretty mean, don't I?

My husband is sitting here laughing at me cause he thinks it's pretty hilarious that I am blogging about people not blogging. It is pretty amusing.

We are still in NC with my sister and her family but will be leaving bright and early in the morning to head back home for Matt to be at work in time. We had a great weekend and the twins are getting so big in Dawn's belly. They look like they just want to pop out!! I'll blog more about our weekend in the next few days, but for now I am going to go enjoy the rest of it!

TOE sucker and TGIF

I have a toe sucker! :) This morning while I was changing Lily she as usual was grabbing her feet and trying to get them to her mouth. Today, she achieved finding her big toe and sucking on it! Haha! Good thing she has cute little clean feet. It was hilarious and I wish I had gotten a picture of it!!

We were originally going walking today with Alicia and Andi but plans changed for them so we didn't get to go. Vicky came over though and Lily and I went on a walk with her. Lily is so cute with her - she gives her the biggest smiles!

And finally it is Friday! Friday is my favorite "weekday" because it's the one right before the weekend. Yeah!! This weekend we are going down to NC to see my sister and her family. Guess we'll see if Ava likes Lily any better this time - probably not though considering Lily can't "play" with her yet! We'll be having a fun weekend away so you probably won't hear from me again until Monday. So sorry - I know you live to read my blog everyday. :) Just joking!! Hope all you readers out there have a good weekend too!!

P.S. - Yes, I used TGIF! Remember when TGIF came on tv? And isn't it crazy how we can now really start saying "remember when?"

american idol

I just have to say how GLAD I am that Carly Smithson got voted off of American Idol last night. She was the one contestant that has bothered me the most (besides Jason Castro). The thing I absolutely do not like about her is the fact that she ALREADY had a record deal and her cd was a huge FLOP. Okay, why in the world would I want someone that already has a awful cd to win or even be on american idol? Not worthy I say. But that's just my opinion. Give someone else a chance to cut a record! Geez!

And Jason Castro... BLAH! He's so boring and lifeless. No personality. I don't even know why he's lasted as long as he has. Syesha... well she just hasn't been able to get herself out there. Just kind of sits in the background even though she has a good voice.

Can you tell I'm opinionated about American Idol? Haha! So who do I like you may ask? I love Brooke White, David Cook, and David Archuletta. Granted, I don't think Brooke is really "American Idol" style but I love her personality. I tell Matt every week that I would love to be friends with Brooke. David Cook is great at what he does and is wonderful at getting creative with the songs and arranging them to fit his style. I don't like the fact that you can tell he thinks he's all that and a bag of chips. He just seems pompous to me and I don't find that attractive. So really, I think David Archuletta should win. GREAT voice. He is always right on key and has a very pure tone when he sings. And he's so cute and little - haha. Anyways, my final vote would be for David Archuletta.

So there you have my opinions... like it or not. :)

my funny little girl
