Christmas Pictures

 

Christmas Eve wrapping up some last minute gifts!

 Opening up her Minnie House helmet she has been asking for!

Testing out her new car, if you haven't noticed by now, my child loves Minnie Mouse!

 Our first stop was my in laws house, we do cinnamon rolls for breakfast and Bug was pretty hyped up on sugar by this point.

We then drove to visit my family which included two more stops! 

I wish I would've took more pictures, but by the end of the day, I was exhausted as you can clearly tell from this picture. We had a great time with our family and that was most important.

Bugs' Summary of Month 28

Month 28: October 16th - November 16th, 2013

 

We went to visit our family and Bug made breakfast with her Great Grandma Nana.

We went a pumpkin patch and tried to take some pictures, but that's pretty difficult with a 2 year old! 

Bug got her first face painting at a Halloween party!

Trick or Treating!

 My sweet girl is getting so big!

 

Happy 4th Anniversary

In my post last year, I said " I take you for better or for worse, even if the better comes after the worse." And I meant it 110%. Marriage isn't a game or a joke, it's a commitment you make to your spouse for the rest of your life no matter what.

At getting married at age 18, I was determined that my first marriage would be my only marriage. After being married for 4 years now, I would have to say prayer has changed my marriage dramatically. It's changed him and me.

No trial is so large we can't overcome together.

Matt, it's really hard for me to believe that we've been married for 4 years now. While we've had our rough times, we've came out even stronger than before and I believe God gave me you knowing I would love you beyond reason. Thank you for working so hard to provide for Bug and I and thank you for accepting my faults as I do yours. I'm truly looking forward to our future and what life as in store for us. This song is for you, my love. 

Love you always and forever!

Mark 10:9 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.

Bugs' Summary of Month 27

Month 27: September 16th - October 16th, 2013

Words: She has started singing along to her favorite songs, when you show her a picture, she says "Aw!" and has started saying "Oh my gosh!" So cute!
 

Obsessions: The movie The Cat in the Hat is now her favorite, Monsters Inc has now been collecting dust.

I opened the fridge and noticed empty containers, she is now always in it!

Bug putting some of daddy's deodorant on!

Just getting into mommy's make up..

 

Autumn Cheesecake Dip

Friday night, we had some friends over and I had no idea what to make as a snack. I was thinking something sweet, but then something healthy. I came across this dip and it was perfect! It makes a lot and tastes great. We dipped apples and strawberries, but I did dip my finger in there a few times because it was just that good!

Ingredients:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature
• 8 oz Cool Whip, thawed
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• your dipping choice 

Instructions:

• Blend cream cheese, Cool Whip, and brown sugar in a mixer on medium speed anywhere between 5-10 minutes, or until smooth. Add vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and mix again. It's preferred that you refrigerate overnight, but at least one hour will do. Enjoy!

 

Potty Training

(Sorry for the language, but I died laughing!)

Alright, I need to hear tips from the parents who have successfully potty trained their child. What was your potty training plan and how did you do it?

Words: Bug can now sing her ABC's, if you sing with her, she will sing the whole thing! When ever someone sneezes, she says "Bless you" so adorable!

Special moment: Matt and I sneaked up on her one day to find her reading books to her baby dolls and telling them "Go night night" 

 Obsessions: Monster's Inc, she loves to watch this movie and would watch it all day if I let her!
