ROCK BAND!


The government gave us money for no reason...i.e. a stimulus check. So what did we do? We went straight to Walmart to stimulate the economy. You guessed it, we bought rock band. I don't think I have ever been more pleased with a purchase that I have made. Alexis rocks on the drums and I either rock the guitar or the lead vocals. It is pretty exciting, especially when I don't know the songs but sing them anyway. I have to say that we are getting pretty good as a drum guitar duo. I can only assume that we would be that good in real life. There is no way that this game is just giving us a false sense of awesomeness. Yeah...we pretty much rock.

My Husband Rocks!

So Matt is pretty much amazing! And here's a couple reasons why:

1. When he doesn't have to work, he'll take Alivia downstairs in the morning just so I can sleep a couple extra hours.

2. He's not afraid of any of the curve balls that Alivia has thrown at him since she came home from the hospital (including when she pooped on him her first day home). He's an amazing dad.

3. He pays attention to little things I mention and remembers them later. For example, I told him forever ago that I wanted a car racing game for our Xbox because I can't figure out how to play the games we have! And for Mother's Day, he got me my racing game! And the movie Juno - my favorite!

4. He didn't have any time this weekend to go and get me something so, in order to surprise me, he woke up really early in the morning on Saturday and took little Alivia with him to Wal-Mart while I was passed out in bed. I had no idea!

5. He claims he likes to do the dishes and actually does them because he knows that I hate doing that more than anything in the entire world!

6. He always lets me have the remote because he knows that to fight for it would be a waste of time!

7. He takes me on drives (my favorite thing to do) even though he hates it more than life itself AND gas is more expensive than it's ever been!

8. When he has an evening and morning shift right next to each other - instead of staying down at the ranch, he'll come home at night because he knows how much I hate being home alone - even if it means he gets less sleep.

And that's just a couple reasons but there are billions and billions more!

My Baby's First Almost Real Bath!!!

So Matt and I decided to whip out Alivia's little tub and give her an almost real bath! She was a little chilly at first but when we splashed her with the water she loved it! Tonight we plan on moving her to her crib. I'm not excited at all! I'll let you know how it goes...

When Mommy and Grandma B. get bored...

So we mentioned that it's impossible to wake this little girl up when she's sleeping, and one night we decided to have a little fun at the poor girl's expense...
