Getting Older

Some days I wonder what happened to this girl? I miss her sometimes :)

You Can Never Have Too Many..

Blankets - or Spoons.

This little miss is fuuunny. Here is a list of some of the words/phrases I heard coming out of that cute mouth this week.. she is just constantly spitting out new words that crack me up. This is a good age. I'm digging it.

Sunday Morning at the Richards

Looks pretty good don't you think?

Happy Birthday!

Today is Trent's bday - finally turning the big 26. Since his first rotation is the night shift, he worked from 11 p.m. last night to 12 p.m. today... he is now sleeping his way through his birthday so he can go back to work at 11 tonight. I attempted to make an ice cream cake so we'll see if he wakes up in time to eat some before he leaves. Not much of a celebration but we are going camping this weekend to make up for it. Why am I suddenly such a camper inquiring minds want to know? That would be because of the smores.. Anyway I love Trent with all my heart and really am the luckiest girl in the world :) Sappy, sappy, sappy but he is the best husband and dad. Lucy and I adore you. We also celebrated our 4th anniversary a couple of weeks ago by getting Blizzards & Diet Cokes with fresh lime from Dairy Queen and watching So You Think You Can Dance. It was one of our best!

4 years ago - such babies! I miss my fake hair. Trent has no idea that his eternal companion has pretended to like football, yes I false-advertised folks.

Lucy's first ride at Disneyland - yes this did make me sick. I am 80 years old.

You Know You Are a Mom When...

You go 80's dancing with your friends* and family** and just feel like lecturing all of the girls who are there being so so DUMB. If you dress like that and dance like that those boys aren't going to respect you or appreciate your mind. This coming from the girl who used to sneak out once a week to hit up Club Axis. You'd think I was 90 years old. At least I got to wear neon and bust some moves. Not gonna lie I was a bit sore the next day.

*I love you Jord and Fonz.

**yes that is right - my brother Mike and sister Em were awesome enough to take their old sister dancing.

The Goose - 19.75 months.

How did I get so lucky to have my good friend be able to take pictures like these?! She is so amazing and affordable. Shannon seriously you are out of control. I love how they capture her sassy personality perfectly. Sniff. She is getting so big. Ohio friends - she told me if I had 7 people wanting pics she would come to Cbus and visit me so lets help each other out! Let me know if you are interested :)
