what i loved... 4th edition

week #4

i think the fact that brian has monday off makes me feel like it's still the weekend when i should be catching up on things instead of playing.  it's kind of our family day/i can get stuff done while he plays with quinn day.  so i am late posting once again... if it counts i actually started writing this up on thursday of last week!


-i loved that i found just the words i needed to hear lately.  for those mamas raising toddlers, or any kids for that matter, this post is worth the read... reminding you that you're not alone in your faults.

-what a better compliment to get from a stranger than an "i like you"?  okay that sounds weird...
the instructor in the pi-yo class i take asked if the class wanted to try new things and switch it up.  i said yes and that i liked what we did more at the end of last year because it felt more challenging.  she said it was more challenging and then followed with an enthusiastic "i like you!".  you bet i worked my butt off that night! gosh i love that class!

-i'm loving that my husband booked a hotel for me to go to a friends wedding in fresno next month when i really thought i wouldn't be able to go!  how awesome is he!?! ...don't remind me that i'll be away from my quinny for two whole days for the first time in her itty bitty life :(

-i have a one year old now!!! not sure if i loved that my baby turned one but i do love how much more fun this birthday is than last years :)  she is a lot sillier and a lot easier that's for sure!

-i loved having a busy saturday full of girl time! first a baby shower and then a girls night with taylor and liana of course!  we went out to eat at a yummy place in downtown la mesa and then did things like we were 15 again... but you can never be too old for nail painting, dessert baking, and late night talking you know.


and of course, the only pictures i ever remember to take are crappy iphone ones of Quinn.  These were taken on her birthday and i am looooving that i got these little moments to remember her forever at this age!

"what is this stuff sticking to my hands??"

"ooo it's so itchy! ah don't let it touch my baby feet!"

"this is the best day ever!!!"

"uh? sand? ...i don't know about this stuff."

"but it's getting on me!"

"okay, it's pretty cool i guess.  ooo wow it's on my feet."

that owl face just kills me.
