Water Play

Days are longer and warmer!! We decided to play in the water. I turned on the hose and let her play. It was funny to watch her. We have to get this white baby body some color. I know she can tan like her mommy. We will get plenty of it when we go to Mexico in two weeks. I can't wait to watch her play in the water there.

Where's my money???

We finally were able to go drinking/gambling with my parents since Mary was born. Our friend Traci was able to take Mary for three nights. So, we dropped Mary off early Thursday morning and were off for some fun. We did have a super fun time. There's a lot of walking you have to do in Laughlin, and we did A LOT of it. I think I spread my money out evenly between all the casinos. But it was all worth it. Now back to reality at home.

getting away

OK, so Kevin and I are silly. Last night we celebrated our anniversary, from Tuesday. We traveled a whole 5 miles and stayed at and Embassy Suites. This hotel is right across the street from where Kevin works. He watched them build this hotel and now we stayed at it. Mary got to spend the night 5 miles the other way at Grandpa and Grandma's. It was a fun night. They have cocktail hour from 5:30-7:00 for FREE! Well, can I say I drank too much??? YES. Well, it was free. Why waste anything free. So, needless to say, I don't remember much after cocktail hour was over. I would guess I had a good time. I did not sleep well, so I'm really tired today. But it was great to get away for a night. Even if it was 5 miles from home.

Zoo Zoo Zoo

Today Kevin had the day off so we decided to take advantage of this great weather and go to the zoo. We went up north to the Santa Barbara Zoo. It is nice and small and easy for her to see the animals. We took her last year when she was about 10 months old and she didn't really get it. She did this time. She did like the penguins and the giraffes. The zoo is so small that a lot of the animals were not moving or were not out and about. But we saw what was there and made the best of it. We took the little train ride around the small park. She did like that. So, we will do it again next year and she will get it even more. Maybe take her to the LA Zoo next time.

3 Years!

Today is our 3 year anniversary. Boy, how time flies. Well, it feel like longer but then it doesn't. I can still remember the day of fun. I was too tired the night before to go sleep in a different room so when it was time to get up I just rolled over and told him not to look at me and I got out o the room to go get ready. I can still remember the lights of Vegas to guide me to the room. My dream was to walk around in my dress to gamble after everything, but I was too darn tired and just wanted out of it. I regreat that still. SO, my big plan is after I have kid #2 that I will work, my best, to get back into my dress and do it for our 10 year anniversary. I think that should give me some time, maybe. Because loosing the weight after Mary was so easy. NOT!
Well, anyway, just another day today but we plan to spend the night at a hotel on Friday. We got a room at Embassy Suites out here in our valley. Hey, it's a night away from home, 5 miles from home. And Mary will be 5 miles the other direction at grandma's. We are such the romantics. So, off to more fun and adventures years ahead!

Life Must Go On

Ok, so I think I caught something of this bug going around. My head hurts and eyes too. BUT, I'm the mommy and I'm not allowed to be sick. I must still do my daily chores and tend to Mary. I get an hour or two a day, while Mary is napping, to rest.
So, I went out Saturday night with an old friend form high school. I didn't get to bed until midnight. Sunday morning is when I started to feel like this. SO, I'm sure Kevin is thinking that it was the going out thing that made me feel like this. NO, he was sick and gave it to me most likely. He did let me lay on the couch most of the day yesturday. I think that was because I was not nice and made a statement I did not feel well. But, he did wash the floor for me and vacume downstairs. SO, I"ll give him that much.
But, today is Monday and he will go to work and my head isn't as bad as it was, but it isn't perfect. But Life Must Go On!

Sharing

Today Mary had a play date at our house. A friend of mine I've knowen for a while, Noel, has a little girl just a few months younger than Mary. So, they came over to play. Mary did NOT like to share her toys. Paytin, the little girl, would try to play with one of Mary's toys and Mary would then try to take it away and start crying. Then Paytin would cry and it was a mess. So, I would try to sit there and tell Mary to share and help her play along. That was NOT going to happen. So, I guess we need to work on sharing and have more play dates to get used to it. But when they were leaving Mary did say bye and they did give each other a 'hug'. SO, mary was glad to see her go, go away w/out any of her toys.
