All I Want for Christmas is my Very First Tooth!!!


the holidays just completely flew by this year and now we are back into the slump of the very grey michigan winter... bleh.... It was such a busy couple of weeks, with my family staying with us and my cousins wedding the weekend after christmas. It was such a blast. Christmas day we just stayed at home though with just nick n wil n I. which was really nice to ramp up the week with. We opened presents christmas morning, i was more excited than previous christmas's because i knew the dollar value of my gift from nick lol. So i held in my excitment and had Wil open his presents first. He had a great time ripping the paper it was great and the presents were okay too. but then i got to open my gift and nick, my wonderful husband, got me a nintendo Wii!!!! i was soo excited. I had been wanting one for a while, and he just kept making fun of them saying that video games are not meant to be a work out, but we had a blast all day on christmas day, boxing and bowling and fishing lol. too fun.

My parents came into town the next day just in time for us to drive into Howell together to throw my cousin a bridal shower. Her new hubby goes to byu so they flew in for just the week to get married and there was no other time to throw her a shower lol. But we had a great turn out for the day after christmas and she got alotta great gifts. i put her sister in charge of the games and her sister-in-law megan in charge of the food, and they blew me away, i had the easy job of getting people to show up and throwing up some decorations. but megan and amy really did the hard work. Aubrey's wedding was that saturday and she was absolutaly beautiful. Prolly the prettiest bride ever! Ill have to post some pictures later because im not on the right computer for that but everything went beautifully. we spent friday transforming the cultural hall in the howell ward building, when we were done it looked like something out of a fairy tale.

Wil did really great for being carted around everywhere, not taking normal naps and having strangers pass him around all day. All the while cutting his first tooth. He only freaked out a few times. And didnt really sleep well at night lol, but that effected me more than him :)

Now his second tooth is starting to come in already too and we all caught the worst cold in the world. i cant wait for things to get back to normal. I gotta say though i miss my mom, I didnt have to do any dishes or laundry while she was here, my house was beautiful and there was always great dinners every night. now im not feeling well and havent done dishes since she left lol. oh well

Let it Snow!


Sunday morning we woke up to a winter wonderland outside! I dont think i have ever been so excited to see so much snow!! I think i must have been jealous of my parents in Wisconsin tellin stories of all the snow they have had and we still hadnt had any here. So to my excitment, I found as many warm clothes as I could, threw them on the kid and the dog and we headed outside!! Tango had his coat on but wouldnt stand still enough for a picture, he doesnt like it when the snow hits his manhood, so he did a couple laps around the yard and sat on the porch lol. Wil wasnt quite sure what was going on, his hand me down snow suit was just small enough to where he couldnt move his arms to touch the snow . but he had fun sitting in it. Everyone around here had church canceld except for us so we still trecked out for church. the roads we awful, crazy awful but it was an adventure!
I am so excited for christmas. My parents are coming into town and staying with us a whole week for my cousin's wedding. Being broke on christmas is always better when you have family around to be broke with!! lol but i think i am going to take time right now, put in a christmas movie and wrap some presents. Merry Christmas!!

Well another year has come and gone in the little life of Tango Alabaster Mcgillicutty Blaine..... :) dont ask lol But for his 3rd bday he got to eat a whole piece of pumpkin pie!!! Well he licked off the whipped cream and wouldnt touch the rest of it, And we went for a walk through Petco where he got to pick out a toy, that he actually wont play with cuz it makes a scary noise when he bites it lol, but It was a pretty successfull birthday.

Bronner's Christmas Wonderland!!!


On monday we went up to Saginaw to visit Nick's grandpa, he is very ill and very old, and in the hospital so Nick took the day off and we took Wil up there so grandpa could see him. So on our way home we got to stop at Bronner's, now this place is amazing!! It's bigger than a Super Walmart and full of every different kind of christmas decoration/tree/lights/you name it imaginable!!! I mean when they say wonderland they mean wonderland!!! I had sooo much fun, Nick had a good time but he wont admit it. Frankenmuth is the cutest town in michigan by far i think. We have to go and spend a whole weekend up there sometime. Everything it little german houses and shops and the downtown is adorable.


Then today we took Wil to see Bee Movie!! I take him to the movies all the time, this was actually his second time seeing it lol. See im not a looser going by myself to the movies if i have a kid with me lol. He does so great loves to watch the big screen and it is something fun for me to do too. Wil falls alseep for the second half of the movie and usually misses the endings but he loves the first half!!!

I just wanted to vent about how much I hate doing laundry. and the fact that I have to devote an entire day to laundry makes it even worse, the ironing, the folding and its always the same clothes week after week.... ugh, i wish there was a laundry fairy, ooor i wish that it was cheaper to take clothes to the dry cleaners, or i would just take them like 5 bags of clothes and they would be done by 5, all hung up ironed and everything........
