memories of pink and blue

Hello!

Pink & blue have been making some fun appearances in my life this week. The combination is special to me because they're the colors we used in Betsey's nursery 5 years ago. WOW.. I can't believe that was only 5 years ago!! Time is such a strange thing as a parent. In one way I feel like my kids are growing up so quickly, while at the same time I feel like I've been their mom forever. It's hard to remember life before kids haha. I'm sure other parents understand this odd feeling!

All of those memories of Betsey's pink & blue nursery had me dreaming of my newborn baby. I just went back 3000 instagram pictures to my first few posts.. Who remembers Earlybird? :D

:)

Well our lives haven't been too exciting lately.. 

I have been getting a little more work that usual, which is really nice! My mom is able to watch Betsey as she is still searching for a new job, so I'm taking advantage of her spare time and scheduling as much as possible.

Betsey is growing and growing and growing! She's repeating new words, finding new favorite toys (right now she loves books and carrying her purse on her arm <3) and I think it's now official that she will never crawl again..

I think the only real excitement right now is my extra short countdown until I get my $$.. 13 more days! I have a rather large list that I've been working on of things I need and things I don't. I'll explain more at the bottom!

Babies!

Badass.

 

SMACK!

iPhone's take pretty awesome pictures.

Uhhhhhhh

Wook at my teef  :)

Biiiiiiig Smile!

Growing up too fast!

Ahhhhhh it's going to be nice to finally see some real money in my account! Hopefully it lasts this time. This is my last check, so I'll have to make it last!
Bills & car stuff definitely will come first even though they're not first on the list. I just haven't been updating them like I have with the 'general' part of the list.. haha can you tell I am a list person?

So I am having a slight battle with myself right now about the ipad 2.. At first I was super excited about it! I was way excited about all the apps for the babies and I to both use, watching movies and of course the portability! But I have been realizing over the last week that my macbook is starting to have the same airport issues it lad before again..... AND it gets pretty hot on the bottom when I use it. I don't remember it always being this way. I think it's time to replace it. I have had it a good 3 years, not that long for a computer, but with all the upgrades in macs I think it'll be nice to get a new computer finally! I thought about getting another laptop, but I have decided it's time for a desktop. The refurbished 21.5 in imac's go for $1076 on apple.com! Not too bad for a mac! :) BUT, my heart it still set on having an ipad!! :( I thought a little about just getting an ipad, but this isn't possible. It might work if ipad's had been made with a usb drive by now, but they haven't...... ugh.
So here I am...  stuck in a war  of apple products. I will have the money for both, but I know it would be smarter to save it.. We'll see. If I can find an amazing deal, I might just have to get both! :)
Also I forgot to mention I'd obviously be selling my macbook, so there's $300-$400 I can take from the price of one of these! Hmmm...

Grace Smart Seat- gonna be the new seat!

Oh Matt Bomer, why must you love men?

Happy Birthday Betsey!

A lot has happened in the last couple days.
My little Betsey poo turned ONE!
We spent our last few days with my grandparents and cousins from Hawaii.
My sister graduated high school. :)
Got in yet another big fight with Jorge, I think this one was big enough to really make a difference though.. :(
& finally today we noticed Betsey finally cut her top tooth she had been working so hard on!
So, let's catch up with some pictures!

I went to the mall today. Spent money I don't have. That's generally why I try to avoid that place! Oh well I needed some summery maternity clothes!

Some recent pictures of the most beautiful baby girl I have ever laid eyes on.. <3

Here are some recent pictures from instagram, she's growing up waaay too fast! She started eating mum mum's a few days ago, so I gave her some puffs yesterday.. She loves them!

Ohhhh look at that smile. :)
