mommy adventures

So I have to admit, tonight as I was nursing Sadie to sleep, I sat there reading all my old blog posts.. I swear its not as tacky as it sounds ha. I was smiling the whole time reading them remembering all the funny and sweet times I have had with Scarlett. I honestly would not remember half these things if I had not wrote about it in my blog. I have random little notes in my phone of funny or sweet things that my girls have done or said but somehow they will get lost & forgotten.. So I am going to share some of them here for my self to look back at & for who ever reads this to hopefully enjoy. 

One day we were laying in bed & I said "ewww Scarlett there's a boogy on your face!" She takes it off and looks at it on her finger & says "nice to meet ya!" Maybe you had to be there but I almost died. 

If you let Scarlett sit in the bathroom for too long after going potty, you will regret it. She uses the entire roll of toilet paper every time so she can get to the "scope" at the end. Lets just say we spend a lot of money on toilet paper. 

Scarletts most current obsession is growing bigger, which has worked very well in my favor. I can literally get her to eat anything by telling her it will make her grow. Hope she never grows out of this. 

Oh and she is no longer "Scarlett" anymore. She is "mommy cat" & you must call her that. 

If I start to tell Scarlett not to do something she usually says "shhh don't talk" or "no, no be a nice mommy"

She seriously has the best manners.. taught her well ;) (except when she tells me not talk talk ^ ha)

Scarlett is obsessed with Sadie, from the second she opens her eyes, she pops up & looks over at Sadies pack & play to see if she's awake yet. The other day we ran into a family friend at Whole Foods & she was holding Sadie. Well little miss Scarlett did not like that & told her "I want my Sadie back" 

Tony always tells me how in love Sadie is with me. & I have to admit its true. Not to toot my own horn or anything but every single time she sees me she lights up and gives me the biggest smile. & If I'm walking around the house her eyes will follow my every move. But I am a million times more in love with her. 

Okay I thought I had more in my notes but guess not. I always tell myself "oh I'll remember this! How could I forget?" aaaand I almost always forget. Thank goodness I take a million pictures a day. Heres some of my favorites.. 

Getting to know each other. Sadie was only a few days old here.

lovin each other

So I thought this was the sweetest moment ever. Scarlett was playing with Sadie holding her little glove above her face & Sadie was smiling so big..  Well a few seconds later I was responding to a text my from husband & I look over & that whole glove is stuffed into Sadies mouth.. oopsies, at least it was sweet for a minute....

& the happiest sweetest girl alive

I have to say I love being a mom of two, these girls bring me so much happiness. & I am so lucky to be able to stay home with them & raise them. I look forward to every single day with them, its always  a new & fun adventure. 

Life.

We've been busy little bees lately now that the weather is cooling down and we can actually spend the day outside. Mine & Tonys wedding anniversary is also my parents wedding anniversary so along with celebrating with my husband I also celebrated with my mom :) We went to art in the park in Boudler City which is always fun.. & later that day Tony & I celebrated... with 2 kids.... at Disney live music festival.. BUT to be honest I wouldn't have it any other way. He also got the night off work so we got to spend time together after the girls went to bed. The next morning we drove up to Mt Charleston & hiked at Mary Jane Falls, which is beautiful! Scarlett was in heaven climbing every single rock in sight. Fun for her, not fun for overprotective daddy. It was a beautiful day and felt like a mini vacation. A much needed vacation from the reality of what is going on in my life. My dad has been sick for years and years with hepatitis C and recently he was diagnosed with liver cancer. I hate you cancer. Back in January my dad was told he has 2-3 months to live & he has fought & is still fighting today. He is amazing and strong but the cancer is winning. He is still at home but it is taking over his body very quickly now. He is confined to a hospital bed where he can no longer walk, barely move his body, and he's not really able to communicate much anymore. It is the hardest thing I have ever had to go through in my entire life. I will start to think to myself "this isn't fair", "why MY dad?". But this is life and I am so thankful to have been able to spend 25 years with the most amazing man and father a girl could dream of. Truly, my dad is the kindest, most loving, selfless person Ive ever met. He will always bring a smile to my face and has filled my heart with so much happiness. Through this all I have been able to smile and it really is because of how lucky I am to have had such an amazing life so far because of him.
