(Ignore my conversation with my Mom about the weather...pay attention to Brinley and Grandpa)

This was from lunch today. This girl is OUT of CONTROL!!!!

Truth Tuesday 3

okay. There was a cockroach in our house Saturday night. It came in the front door when my parents walked in from taking Sophie outside to go potty. TRUST ME. It was TAKEN CARE of. 

(ahem ahem...my main man Ry)

The Bachelor: Women Tell All was AWESOME. Michelle, you're my girl. Even though I hated her throughout the whole show. That poor girl suffered from those beyatches. Yikes girls. Stop being so nasty.

I wish Ryan was on Spring Break every week :-) Summer can't come soon enough. But hey, I can ALMOST say 1 year down, 2 years to go!!! It feels SO good!!!!!!

I loved having my Mom here. She needed me to clarify that I really do switch the toilet rolls around at her house if they were going under. Soooo I said yes, and she goes, I do it too if someone did it wrong. BOY do I love her!!! Learned from the best :-)

Brinley can almost perfectly say "grandpa." I am pretty sure she uses it universally for Grandma aaaaand Grandpa. It might be easier to say? Well, regardless, she looooves her grandparents. She's been asking for them every time she's woken up from bed and naps. Sad huh???

Brin also is the master of using her spoon. She ate a full bowl of cheerios this morning BY HER SELF. She will NOT let me feed her by spoon anymore. It gets everywhere...... but I love to see her teaching herself.

I drank a diet coke last week while eating Chipotle. I KNOW, I know....but guess what? I didn't get a hangover headache!!! Hooray. So does that mean I can drink one every so often? 

(I think it does!!)


I am SO glad I have friends like this. She completely understands me, my humor, and she is so glam 24/7. Even in black leggings...

Okay. YOU tell me a truth.

Grandparents visit!

My parents pulled in on early Thursday afternoon. It is SO nice that the drive is less than 8 hours. Completely doable. I loved that my dad was able to come down too. He is so busy with his work schedule that he rarely gets to vaycay with my Mom. They brought Sophie, of course, she is my sister!! I asked for Friday off which worked out great because it was a teacher planning day anyways so the babe could go to the school her her mama! It was a nice break :-)

We had a pretty relaxed weekend. There isn't much to do where we live, but we tried to make the most of it! The weather was perfect, so we tried to spend most of our time outside. Brinley warmed up to my parents immediately. It was fabulous. My dad took her and Sophie for a walk down the block right when they got here. My mom stayed back with me until the babes mom came and got her. Brinley always said "Papa" for my dad, but by the end of the visit, she started saying "grandpa" almost perfectly! She loves her grandparents. No doubt about it!

We toured the school, the stadium, the law school, and a bit of downtown. My mom took me shopping twice because she felt like I needed a bit of pampering. I agreed!!! It was great to get away and have some girl bonding time. The boys definitely had their fair share. Golf on Friday. They played at the school course and raved all weekend about it. I guess they had a good time. I'm usually pretty good about tuning out "golf talk."

Funny story. So at Church, our meetings are flopped. Relief Society/Priesthood first, Sunday school second, and Sacrament last. Ryan always takes Brin the first hour since I usually teach Young Women's. But this Sunday, I didn't teach so I could go to RS with my Mom. As we walked into the gym afterwards to find Ryan, my dad and Brinley, I saw Brinley at the other end of the gym. She started running towards me, I had my arms wide open for a big hug, but I noticed she started turning a bit to the left....into my MOTHER's arms. Geez. Talk about feeling replaced! No, I wasn't sad at all. It was a great Grandma moment and it made my mom SO happy the rest of the weekend. It was pretty funny. 

We were sad to see them leave this morning, but we're SO glad they were able to come for a visit. Now, we have a whole week of Spring Break. Ryan is still planning on studying 5-8 hours a day, but it is so great to have him home and spend time with us. We sure miss him when he is gone all day.

Enjoy the pics!

At the Stadium

This ginormous tree by the law school. There are oak trees like this everywhere!!

Law school

Out for dinner

Grammy, Gramps and Brin

Our 3 Generations pic didn't turn out so good because Brinley was SO mad she had to sit with us. She wanted to play with Sophie and Gramps!

Did you ever do this when you were little? I never had long hair and so I would pull my shirt over my head, keep it there, and say to my mom, "Look mommy, I have long hair."

Having fun with Gramps and Sophie.

Playing with chalk outside with Grammy. She rarely ever sticks the chalk in her mouth...silly girl!

The swag!

Come visit us again soon!

Truth Tuesday 2

Ryan told me what our estimated student loan amount will be. My undergrad loans, his undergrad loans, and law school. I mean, I'm happy we'll leave with 3 degrees (that's pretty neat), but REALLY?? really??? whoa, now that scares me.

I painted my nails and two days later 9 out of the 10 fingers are chipped. Next time I'll upgrade my 99 cent Wet N Wild nail color!

I miss working out. I haven't been to a gym in forever. I miss having a good sweat. P90X at home (occasionally) and yoga will have to do.

I have seriously switched the toilet roll at houses, and if I visit my parents I do it too, if the roll is under instead of over. Over is the way to go.
Good idea? 99 cent pack of chalk at Target. Bad idea? Brinley throwing the tantrum of the century when I told her we were going back inside. O, it's the start of many.

I love living in Florida. So much better than living in miserable snow. YUCK we will never go back to snow again!!! It is paradise here.

Ryan and I spend our quality time together watching The Bachelor. It is my FAVORITE. We laugh and joke and we decided to kiss whenever Brad kisses so we don't have to watch him make out 250000 times a show. Smart, eh?

My parents come THURSDAY. OOOO jooooy.

Is it the weekend already?
