i've been a slacker wife lately so today i got dressed up and hannah and i are taking ryan out to lunch. and we're doing it in style..the pizza hut buffet...yea baby!!

today i woke up in such a good mood today. i even put on a worship cd and hannah and i were dancing around. i don't know if it was because i had a good chat with my mentor last night and her prayers were working or if it was because we turned hannah's monitor off and actually got a good night sleep. i'm guessing a combo of both.

i'm sorry about your show matt. after reading that article i wished i would have watched a few more shows. i tried watching one and couldn't get into it, but what Bateman said made sense about needing to give that kind of humor a little more time to sink in. hopefully it will be back next season. i like seeing 80's actors make a comeback, especially the ones that decorated my wall and jason bateman was one of them. :)

welp that's all i have for today. my sister is coming down for the weekend. i'm looking forward to that. and she may be watching hannah and our friend's girl olivia for a while on sunday while the four of us hang out and reminisce (sp?) about the ice storm when we had no kids and played catan for 6 hours straight.

have a fun weekend everyone!

ok so did i miss the free acid that comes with napolean dynamite to actually make it a good movie. it was probably all the hype that i heard about it being hilarious that got my expectations up and the fact that i was going to shoot myself if i heard that guys voice one more time. don't get me wrong there were a few parts that i found amusing, but other than that it was one of the biggest waste of 95 minutes of my life. so that's my movie review of the week.

saturday night i went to church by myself since hannah still had her cold and when i got home ryan had made fondue and we enjoyed it by candle light and music. it was very romantic and sweet. unfortunately that was the night he also rented napolean, but it was still a great evening. overall it was a pretty relaxing weekend. hannah and i were still recuperating from our colds. ryan has still yet to get one of them thankfully. i'm sure his exercising and good eating has helped his immune system as opposed to me being pregnant, not exercising and not eating good. :)

hannah's watching her old mcdonald video right now or as she calls it, "cow". nonnie and grandpa gave it to her for christmas and she loves it. there's this one scene in it where these pigs go down a slide into the mud and she fraps and giggles everytime. it's so cute. there's also a scene where the cow sneezes around some hay and now she goes around saying "achoo" as she moves her head to the sneezing motion. i'm trying to get some cute videos of her since i've beena slacker on it, but she's so entertaining that we get to caught up in it and then by the time i remember to grab the camera she's done. i need to just set the tripod up and keep it ready.

well i better try and get something productive done while the video has her attention. not that blogging isn't productive. :) hannah's moved to one nap a day now which means i need to find more things to entertain us. it will be fun to do more things with her just as soon as i can think of somethings. any ideas anyone? i'm always looking for new ideas. it will be nice when the weather warms up. there always seems to be more things to do outside. at least they are more fun when the sun is involved.

have a great week all!

just getting ready to head out to see one of the girls from the nile in the hospital. She had her little baby boy yesterday by c-section. I can't wait to see the little guy! She called me last night and wanted to know how to get him to breastfeed and as I was trying to explain it to her, I realized that I was also doing the motions with my hand as well. No wonder Ryan was looking at me strangely. i'm sure you all wanted that lovely picture, but there you have it. This is going to be a good test for me, because I've been giving these girls parenting classes and I always tell them, that this is not the only way to parent, but it has worked for many people I know, so they still need to parent the way they feel the most comfortable. Well we'll see if I can keep that mind set up!

Poor Hannah has yet her 3rd cold in a month and this one is a bad one. It was 3 sundays in a row that she would get sick and then she would be fine by wednesday. But this one has lasted almost a week now. I finally realized that I had been putting her in the nursery those few weeks on Wed night when i met with my mentor and Hannah was with older preschool age kids so i think she was getting different germs than she's usually exposed to. So hopefully Ryan will be able to watch her on Wed nights now. She needs a break..poor thing.

As always God has been faithful to me yet again and not giving up on me. I have been in a real funk for about 2 months now and it was getting ridiculous. I could not snap out of it. I know that the hormones were probably not helping, but I just couldn't get anything accomplished. I was laying in bed one night and i was thinking about all the separate incidences that i was trying to change and trying to figure out why i couldn't change them. i had tried giving them to God, i tried taking my thoughts captive, but nothing seem to work. and God finally showed me the big picture. I had slowly let myself become the center of my world and not God. I had basically become my God. So in my attempt to make decisions to please God, i was in fact doing that, because I was my own God. So I made the conscience decision that night to put God back in the center of my life and it's been great ever since. My thoughts have been clearer and my decisions have been better. That dang satan. I hate how he can creep up on you like that without you even realizing it.

Last night we had friends over and played this new game called Carcassonne. Couldn't tell you how to say it. It was pretty fun, but kind of confusing. Tonight Ryan is going to let me go to church while he stays home with Hannah since she can't go in the nursery with her cold. I haven't been to church in over a month since we've been traveling. I miss it. Especially the worship. Then tonight i think ryan and i are going to play risk. we have been trying to find games that are fun for 2 people and this one is so fun. we still have yet to finish a game since they take so long, but hopefully tonight we will.

welp that's all i have. i'm excited about all your house plans matt and trace. i hope we'll be able to get out there and see the finished results. that pergo floor is going to look so good!

have a great rest of the weekend!
