My two kids...Ryan and Reese

Ah the life of a husband who thinks he helps out. I am sure any Mom can attest to the fact that while the hubbies think they help out, the reality is they don't. Here is an example:
Monday Ryan gave Reese a bath (huge shock since he never does). Tuesday night I said, "Hey, go give Reese a bath" to which he responds with "I gave her one last night". I figure if he's keeping score I would write it down for him. I walked to the fridge got some paper and displayed this for him:

Sara: IIII IIII IIII IIII IIII IIII IIII IIII IIII IIII IIII IIII IIII IIII IIII IIII IIII (and I am sure more than this)
Ryan: III

I later amended this because Ryan claims he can not lotion and dress her after the bath because it's too hard....his score now looks like this:

Ryan: Ii (that's one and a half in slash marks)

He's SUCH a funny guy....

Reese has learned a few things this week:
1. She mastered the stairs and Mimi and Grampy's College Station condo
2. She can't crawl in dresses..therefore we don't wear too many
3. She can walk while pushing her scooter
4. Daddy can't watch the Olympics and me at the same time without spilling something on Mommy's brand new furniture (hence the fact that I say he's like my second child)

Until we get a new camera (Ryan can NOT make a decision) only videos
Who needs toys when you can play with diapers.

Stairs!

Sorry Ryan has not shirt on..also the noise you hear is not my tummy growling...it's Chewie. I have to hold her back because she thinks she needs to race Reese

Olympics

Every time that I watch gymnastics I tend to think about the same issue. Is there no other option than the scrunchie? Carrie Bradshaw said it best (in a Sex and the City episode) that you can tell someone is not from NYC if they have a scrunchie in their hair. Well it's obvious that none of these girls are from NYC but where do you even buy scrunchies these days? I haven't seen them in the stores in years. Am I not shopping at the right stores. Furthermore have they heard of bobby pins??? Why the obnoxious old snap-ie looking pins, that nine times out of ten, they have so many in their hair that they don't even all match. You're competing in the Olympics and the ENTIRE world is watching you....have some dang fashion sense. I am pretty sure one of the non-slip hair rubber bands they make now will hold you ponytail back through all the flips and stuff you're doing on the uneven bars and in your floor exercise. Bobby pins won't look so crazy in your hair....plus the Aqua Net they have clearly been using is going to hold all those little fly-aways down anyway.....I wonder if they give you a scrunchie when you make the Olympic team.

FYI if you need a scrunchie you can shop for them here http://www.scrunchies.com/
RIDICULOUS...Stop the insanity.

I will buy a new camera

So I am annoyed. I have been bitching about our POS camera. Today it's lucky I didn't run it over. Erin and cousin Atlee came for a visit today (Atlee is only 5 days older than Reese) and they played SO well together and we all enjoyed some time at the beach. Long story short I take a bunch of pictures on the POS and even went back and looked at some of them just to make sure that the purple lines on the screen were not showing up on the actual picture. I swear to you I have NO idea how this happens to me. Ryan comes home from work and I get out the camera to show him the babies at the beach...NO EFFING pictures. Not a single freaking one. I don't know where the hell they went because I did not delete them. I took them, turned the camera off and went on my merry way. Of course the damn thing works for him when he gets home and he tells me I'm nuts. Damn camera. So obviously no one will see Reese and Atlee at the beach. Poop on my old ass Canon camera.

However here is a video of Reese from the other day. Enjoy
We put Reese down for her nap, as you can tell by the music in the background..and we went in to check on her only to find her playing like this...who wants to nap when you know how to stand up and bang the wall

Fun with the entertainment system. I don't let her watch TV but Daddy can't pull himself away from ESPN...

A new business venture

Apparently I am in the WRONG business. I think I am going to open a dry cleaning business here in Calallen and I will bring Reese to work with me. I brought six items, two men's shirts, two men's slack, a women's blouse and a dress to be cleaned...and the bill was 31.45. I think that is outrageous for dry cleaning. I would say I will go somewhere else but that is the 3rd place in town that we have been to that must dry clean the items with gold because they are all that expensive. FYI anyone who gets married or has an event in which I might have to wear something nice and might sweat, we're not coming. Costs to damn much to clean the clothes when we're done. Unless I can wear jeans or shorts count us out. I'm cheap.

Video Killed the Radio Star!

We have lots of video, partly because Mimi (Celie) was out of town for so long and hasn't seen all Reese's new tricks. Enjoy!

A small update

Wow, it's been a while since my last update. Our camera has still not been upgraded (I don't think Ryan will budge on my request) so we have limited pictures from this past week, but LOTS of video, however at the time of this post the damn videos would not upload, damn Internet!

Reese is sitting on the bitchin' new toy that her Aunt Leslie got for her. She loves riding around the house on it, and pushing all the sound buttons that it has. Reese is in love. Leslie was also kind enough to babysit for Ryan and I on Friday night so we could go to dinner and a movie. It was weird going out without her, but it was a much needed break for me. We saw Batman, which I loved, despite the fire alarms going off in the middle because someone snack bar flunkie burned popcorn. Oh well a fun time was had by all.

Reese is in full crawling mode, which keeps me on my toys, she is into ALL my cabinets and loves taking clothes out of my drawers. She's pissed at us most nights as we have taken the dog's water bowl up so she can't splash around anymore. Poor Reese :(
