Jinxed!!!

After today's events I decided I totally jinxed myself for writing such a nice post about Marli yesterday. Not only did she scream the whole way home from the beach today, but when I went to get her after her nap I found her standing there in her crib with no diaper on!! I will spare you the details and not post any pictures, but lets just say it looked like Marli tried to change her own dirty diaper! GROSS!! While trying to clean her off enough to put her in the tub she then decided to pee all over the bathroom floor! This mess just got bigger by the minute!!! While I am wiping the floor, changing sheets, Marli just walks around naked saying "uh, oh!". Yes Marli, this was a BIG uh, oh!!! So back to reality - Marli is not always the sweet little angel I dreamed up in my last post, but she is pretty dang cute and I still love her.

I Love This Girl!

I can't look at these pictures without having a big smile on my face. Marli's personality comes out more and more everyday and she is so much fun!! She can be such a stinker and so sweet all in the same minute. Since we are together 24/7 these days she definitely keeps me entertained and I feel so lucky that I get to be her mom!!

Probably getting caught doing something she's not suppose to be doing

Marli has reached a big milestone in her life - her little mullet has gotten long enough to now have pigtails!!! I swear they make her look like five years older.

Marli and Noah

Marli has loved having so many friends to play with and she was especially excited when Noah finally got here so they could play everyday! She constantly goes to the front door and says "Woah, Woah!". These two just can't get enough of each other (except for in the car when all Noah wants to do is tease Marli by putting his hand on her leg and then Marli will scream and Noah will copy her!). Take a look at the latest collection of pics we have gathered for their wedding video.

Fun in Fort Wayne

We have been staying in a hotel for the past 2 1/2 weeks while we wait for our apartments to be finished. Although it is nice having someone make my bed and free breakfast every morning, I cannot wait to have a little more space and finally get settled in! Yesterday we went to the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo. The kids all loved being outside and checking out the animals, especially the sea lions!!

And So It Begins...

Today is Reno's first official day of "Summer". We moved out to Chicago/Indiana this past week and Reno didn't waste anytime getting to work. I am so grateful that he is such a hard worker and want to wish him the best of luck this year!!

Marli 15 mos.

Engaged!

I don't know if it's because I still think he's 10 or because sometimes he acts like he's 10 (hence the picture), but I am still trying to accept the fact that my little brother is getting married!! Cory and Lyndsey got engaged last night and, all joking aside, I am super happy for them and excited to have Lyndsey as a part of our family.
(Sorry about the pic guys but this is the only one I have of the two of you together)
