Play Date!

I was desperately in need of some girlie time the other day....well, I think I'm pretty much always in need of girlie time, but anyway, I asked Emily (my sis in law) to come over. We had this wonderful plan of getting the kids down for naps after we ate and then having time to do pedicures on ourselves! Yeah, it was a great idea, but neither of the kids were really cooperating. Logan wouldn't go to sleep, and neither would Carson, but we kept trying to put Carson down for a nap. He got sooo mad, and cried so hard that his face was all red and puffy:( But I have to say it made for some really cute pictures! So here are a few shots of the two cousins being boys!! Oh and by the way, I got to do Emily's toes, and they looked SUPER CUTE!!! It was a TON of fun!

Logan's First Try at Coloring His Own Hair!

So Logan did something to his hair........
JUST KIDDING!!! I WOULD DIE!!!
Logan has been obsessed with hats lately, and he found this beanie that my Grandma Green made for me and it's soooooooo funny looking on him that I just had to snap a few pics! He's just too cute!

My Nasty thing update!!!

Okay, so I wrote about my nasty growth a week ago, and I went to the doctor, and I'm super happy to say that it's been removed! Apparently it was "a somewhat common pregnancy growth" and unfortunately I just grew it right in the middle of my chest! So it's nothing bad just freaking sick to look at!!! But here's the weird part. He said it had it's own blood vessel and so when he cut it off he had to cauterize the blood vessel otherwise it would just keep growing and bleeding! Freaky huh!!! There's also a chance it can grow back, but it's gone for now, and it just looks like someone put out their cigarette on my chest! But the black stuff should fade and it will just be a round scar. So I guess I'm still going to live! The picture above is what it looks like now, and it's still black from the doc burning my skin. It's no that bad at all, and it's a little swollen, but I'm sure it will look better in a few months!

Logan being cute!

This is just one of the millions of cute pictures of Logan being absolutely adorable. He's learned that when someone picks up a camera they tell you to "Say Cheese!!!" And smile at the camera, so this is Logan saying "Cheese" and smiling for the camera!

This is seriously nasty!

Okay, so I'm just going to warn you: The pictures you're about to see may not be appropriate for children under the age of 18, and actually any age really. This is disturbing. It's so disgusting, but I just couldn't resist telling about my freaky disease!
So about 3 or 4 weeks ago I was just randomly scratching/picking little bumps of nothing on my chest, and then I started gushing blood! I mean GUSHING!!! It bled for about 20 minutes, then finally stopped. I didn't even see anything there before I scratched whatever it was off. It didn't look like a zit or mole or freckle, nothing. So a few days later I notice that thing that I scratched off was about twice the size of the original dot. Then a few days later it was doubled in size again. It seriously kept growing and growing. Every once in a while I would scratch the scab off and it would seriously bleed for about 30 minutes, almost spurting blood, and would soak up an entire rag or handful of toilet paper. So I started putting neosporin on it and band aids, then I noticed it started growing a blister type thing on top of the initial growth, that would fill up with puss! It now burns and pusses if I put a band aid over it, and it's freaking huge now. It's bigger than a pencil eraser, and sticks out about 1/2 of an inch! So I went to the doctor and he had no idea what it was but I'm going to a dermatologist on tuesday and he's going to cut it off! So does anyone have any idea what the heck this freaky thing on my chest is????? It now almost doubles in size every 3 days or so! FREAKY HUH!!!! I can't wait to get it cut off and figure out what the heck it is! So anyway, I just wanted to share all of my nasty diseased pictures with you! Enjoy!
Look how far it sticks out!

I told you it was nasty!

I took this picture 2 days ago and it's already bigger and nastier than this!

Bad Bunny

So yesterday morning Logan woke up and was in his usual cheerful mood, and he took out his stuffed rabbit to eat breakfast with him. (Every morning he usually picks one of his stuffed animals to take to breakfast with him, and yesterday it just happened to be "Wabbit"). Well, something must have happened with the rabbit because Logan came up to me and told me Rabbit was in trouble. Then he pointed to show me that he had put Rabbit in "Time Out." He had put his rabbit in the corner, and went up to it and said "No no no! You're in Twouble!" He left him there for a few minutes and then went back to get him, and pretended that he was Rabbit talking and said, "Hi, sowwyyy." Then Logan responded and said "Otay, I wuv you." And he gave him a big hug and kiss! It was so funny and cute, I just had to write it down!

More Belly Pics!!

The enormous growing child in my belly at 32 weeks!

Okay, so here is the latest picture of my belly! As of Saturday (yesterday) I am exactly 32 weeks along!!! And holy cow, I'm getting super uncomfortable! I feel like I'm carrying this baby so much lower than I carried Logan and I already feel like there's a bowling ball between my legs!!!! But Everything is still good as far as I know! I have my doc's appointment this week, so we'll see then! I'm super swollen already though, and that's not fun! Anyway, enjoy the enormous belly!!!!!
Here's my belly at 32 weeks!

I miss my friends:(

I just wanted to let all of my friends know how much I love you and miss you! I am really missing my QC friends right now, but I miss all of my friends too. I know I only lived out there for a little while, but I just loved my girlfriends!!! I sooooo miss Chelsey.....which by the way is so super beautiful, cute, fun, sweet, giving, and I give a HUGE shout out to her right now because she just had a beautiful baby boy, and she already has two other girls, ages 12 months and 3!!! She's definitely supermom! I miss going to Barro's for lunch with kids!
I also soooo miss Tina, who is always there for you when you need her. She's an amazing woman, and has the cutest little girls I've ever seen. She is the type of person that you just wish you could be like. Oh, and she's also super hot, and by the way, another huge shout out to her, because she just made it on DEAL or NO DEAL!!!! How exciting huh!
I also soooo miss my ex-neighbor Alisha who I had such fun times on play dates with our kiddos. I'm pretty sure Anya was Logan's first kiss! She also introduced me to Stroller Strides which was so much fun, and I loved that. She's helped me so much when I was sick and dying (not really) and has been such a fun friend and neighbor to have right there! Also another big shout out to her, for just having a beautiful baby boy a few weeks ago. He's sooo cute!
I also soooo miss Sara, Amber, Brittany, and Chira. Sara you are one of the funniest hoochie mamas I have ever met, and I just love you to pieces! Amber you seriously crack me up girl! I will love you forever for saying how good looked when I was due the day before you met me, and did I mention FREAKING HUGE!!!!! You are so sweet, and super fun. Brittany, I wish I would have got to know you before the last 6 months or so, but I had a lot of fun those months of knowing you. And of course Chira..... I love you sooooooooo much and miss you more than I miss most people. You were always there for me and my family. You would do anything for anyone, and you're one of the sweetest...no actually THE sweetest, most giving person I have ever met. I look up to you so much, and I'm so thankful that I got to know you, and that I was enlightened by your light!
I also sooooo miss my bestest friend Nicole, who is in VA. I haven't seen you in forever, and I don't even want to go into how much I miss you. You're the best friend I have ever had, and I know we will be sisters forever! You were there for me in the darkest times of my life and the best times. I love you so much and can't wait to see you!
I'm sure I missed a bunch of people, but I really just wanted to let you all know how much you meant to me. I may not have hung out with you girls every day, or even talked to that much, but you all touched my life, and I will never forget your friendship!

Poor Grasshopper!

So the night before we moved, we were sitting on the chairs in our house just chatting, and Brian and his friend had just cleared out all of the furniture of the house to load it up. So the door had been open and shut for about 2 hours. So we're sitting, and Brian does this little jump thing in his chair and swats at his back and then just sits back again. Then like 45 seconds later he jumps up and starts doing the funniest dance I have ever seen! Then he rips his shorts and undies off, and a full size grasshopper jumps out of his underwear!!!! I was seriously cracking up harder than I have in a long time. It was soooooooo funny. I have never seen Brian move so fast! Of course now that the grasshopper was out on the floor, I was freaking out and immediately told Brian to kill it. He said, "I don't know, I kinda feel like I should take it out for lunch, I mean after being in my butt crack and all!! I kinda feel bad for the guy!" It was so funny I just wanted to share it with all of you!

Brian's Birthday

I haven't blogged in FOREVER so I have to catch up on all the major events I missed! So on July 19th, Brian turned 26 years old!!! He's getting up there! It seriously was probably such a crappy birthday for him, but he's such a trooper. He spent the entire day painting my parent's house....for free! What a sweetheart huh! My dad came home late that afternoon with a cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory and a pizza and said happy birthday....which coming from my dad, is HUGE! I can't remember the last time my dad even called me on my birthday, or got me a gift! (Not that I'm complaining, because I love my dad to pieces, and he's awesome, but that's just how we work in our family!) All I did for Brian was get him this cream cheese brownie from the deli at Fry's that he had to share with me, and then my little sister Trina...AKA "Klepto" came down and stole it when we weren't looking! I feel so bad but I really didn't do anything for him. But his parents totally scored and got us a hotel room for 2 nights at the New York New York in Las Vegas for the end of August for his B-day, and he's super excited for that. But anyway, I just have to say how much I love Brian. He's such an amazing father, husband, friend, and LOVER!!! :) I just can't get enough of him. I wouldn't trade him for anything or anyone and I'm so lucky to have him as my husband!

Psycho Crickets

Okay, so we've been in our apartment for about 2 weeks now, and seriously, it is infested with crickets. And these crickets are not just any crickets, they are psychotic crickets!!!!! I'm not even kidding. I've lived in AZ pretty much my whole life, so I'm pretty used to crickets chirping in the night, but these are the most ferocious, psycho crickets I have ever dealt with! In fact right now, I'm sitting on my bed and I have seen 2 crickets hop by on the floor, in the past 2 minutes. We went shopping tonight and when we came in, there were 8 crickets in our kitchen, and it's a tiny kitchen. I have been cleaning like crazy and being super obsessed with keeping everything off of the floor, in hopes that they will go away, but they're STILL HERE!!!!! Okay, and a few nights ago, there was an extremely psycho cricket in our bathroom. It had the loudest freaking chirp I have ever heard!!!!! NO JOKE! It was so loud it kept waking me up, so I would go in the bathroom and look for it only to find nothing. Then that morning Brian even got up and searched for it. He kissed me goodbye in the morning and said he tried to find the cricket but had no luck. So that stupid cricket on crack chirped the loudest chirp of my life until almost 11:00am! I sprayed stuff all around the bathroom but still couldn't find it. Then we went to bed the second time, trying to sleep over the chirping. At about 3:00am Brian got up on a mission to kill the DANG cricket! He searched and finally gave a big whack with a shoe to it and killed it!!!! We both got much better sleep, the rest of the 2 hours until we had to get up! Yeah, so that's been a huge complaint of mine in the new place. Oh did I also mention that Brian caught an enormous spider probably the size of an egg. He catches some of the crickets and feeds them to the new pet. Ya, I don't know what I'm going to do with him! So anyway, I just wanted to share with all of you my psycho cricket story, because I'm going crazy over them!!! At least that one is dead!!!

So Long Farewell...

This where we live now!

Well we flitted and we flutted and we flee flee flee flee flied, and we're finally somewhat settled into our new place (Anyone ever seen the Sound of Music???). We said goodbye to good old Queen Creek, and our beautiful house that dropped more that 50% in value in 2 1/2 years, and moved into an apartment in Mesa off of Power and Baseline. It wasn't an easy decision but we really felt like this is what we were supposed to do. With Brian's commute and even mine from QC, it just made more sense to move closer to everything, and lower our gas bill....drastically. It's definitely a bittersweet feeling though, I'm not going to lie! We had a lot of good friends in our Queen Creek ward, and I'm already missing them a TON!!! And it's also hard to get used to living in an apartment again, after being in a house. But I LOVE being close to all of the shopping and my family, and work. I'm sure in a few weeks we'll totally feel at home. So anyway, for all those who want to know, here's our new address:
7205 E Superstition Springs Blvd #1174
Mesa, AZ 85209
