stop by and visit my new little blogger

{and yes, she named her own blog all by herself}

bribery

yes this is chocolate milk

yes this is josie's bottle

yes i'm trying to bribe her

yes she's 13 months

...

no the bribe has not worked yet

yes i'm still her favorite person - at least 5-6 times a day :)

1 2 3 4

2 tivo tuners
3 shows i wanted to watch/record at 8pm
4 children's benadryl tablets* to combat my mysterious hives

the result...
1 very tired person that had to stay awake and watch american idol while wishing we hadn't canceled our tivo subscription for our upstairs tv.



*they tasted nothing like the flintstone vitamin taste i was hoping for -
when your kids says they taste bad, they aren't kidding!!!!

elle's party

this weekend we went to chicago to celebrate little elle

the shower was beautiful
she got some super cute things -

she's going to be one stylin' girl this summer!

we love you elle :)

disney, high flyin' buzz & an unfortunate costume

the past few years we've gone to disney on ice
this year we were excited to bring josie-

she was just an itty bitty baby in the hospital when we went last year

overall it was a really good show

the theme was 100 years of disney

the olivia, garrett & ryan loved seeing all of their favorite characters

josie alternated between being crabby and enjoying the flashing lights

i quickly realized she's gotten way, WAY too big to nurse in a cramped stadium seat

the good news is that we didn't get into a car accident like last year!

we also realized that a zoom lens totally rocks!

to infinity & beyond

(once again - love my camera!)

and perhaps my favorite picture...

seriously, who designed this??

whenever we watch nemo i think i'll have this image in my mind

crawling, legos & horses

as of today, we have a crawler in our midst...

as much as we are excited for josie to crawl,

her timing is not the best...

ryan is obsessed with itty bitty teeny tiny legos

the kind that make you want to cry when you step on them with bare feet

the kind that get easily lost in the carpet

the kind that a baby likes to put in her mouth :)

and if legos weren't enough of a danger for our little josie...

ryan thinks she's a horse

"yea, ride 'em towboy" is heard quite often around our house

ahhh, the life of a baby

2 artists

this artist asked for an apron to keep his shirt clean




this artist gave me a crazy chocolate* faced smile

*why chocolate faced?
cuz he's my little helper :)

random idol thoughts

i love the new judge cara
it cracks me up b/c she looks just like josie's ent {minus the glam}

i'm still laughing about randy being in journey
{don't stop believin'...}

i thought the new elimination format was stupid & unfair -
how exactly are the contestants put in those 3 groups?
is it random?
but after watching the multiple train wrecks on night #1...
it didn't seem like such a bad idea

tatiana - hilarious to watch - how many times can she primp her hair?

that norman guy - i just don't get him

what exactly is bubble tea?

i can't wait to hear the piano player from kzoo next week

danny gokey was by far the best this past week

...

garrett loves to yell at ryan lately-
it's always...
"RYAN DAVID stop running around"
"RYAN DAVID give me that power ranger back!!"
yada yada yada

yesterday i heard him say "RYAN DAVID ARCHULETTA come back here!!"


clearly idol is on the brain at our house :)
