Hidden muffin.

Lacey and I made some blueberry muffins yesterday. She had a good time trying to mix the batter and pretty much single handedly destroyed our once clean kitchen. After the batter was made I left her at the table while I went to fill the muffin tins. Two seconds later I hear a crack and she was taking eggs out of the carton, that I stupidly left right next to her, and was dropping them on the ground. She thought it was the best thing ever, and I thought it was the messiest thing ever.

She loved the muffins. Today we had one left and I let her have it. Usually I try to only give her food at the table, but I thought that maybe the muffin would keep her busy while I took care of a couple things on my to do list. Scott and I had ordered something and the box was sitting in our living room unopened. This evening we opened it and found almost a full muffin sitting in the box. We figure she must have stuffed it in the hole in the side of the box that was meant to be a handle. Scott was so confused when he saw the muffin, he actually thought it was a error from the warehouse.

Why is it still cold outside?

I was born in Arizona, and lived there until I was 10. I think that I was just meant to be an Arizona girl. I am not a fan of the cold weather. I keep telling myself that I will get used to it, but honestly I don't think I ever will. If the weather is colder then like 20 degrees I pretty much make up any excuse that I can so I don't have to go outside. By the time February comes around I am so ready for it to warm up. I get antsy and even more cranky about the freezing temperatures.

Can it just be spring already? Both Lacey and I would really appreciate it.

New Calling

I was just called to in the young women's.  I'm actually really excited about this calling.  Everything is so different here then it was in Utah. It's going to take some adjusting,  but I'm sure I'll catch on spoon enough.

Shots

Lacey had her 15 month check up today. She is finally starting to grow taller! She has been short... and dense for a long time. Now her height is finally starting to catch up with her weight. I wasn't ever worried about it, but I'm glad that things are starting to even out a little. The worst part about going to the doctor is having to get Shots. I feel like we never get a break, she has to get 2-4 pretty much every time we have gone in since she was 2 months old. She is a trooper, today she cried for minute (then asked for her dad... what the heck was that all about?) and then she was ready to go. On the plus side, I got a lot of extra cuddles today.

celebrate

Tonight I'm just going to do a little dance that I made it a full month blogging daily. Whew,  I'm hoping it gets easier.

Milwaukee Zoo

For Christmas, our landlord buys us a zoo pass. It is the best thing ever! Our zoo has a lot of walking between inside exhibits, so it's not the most fun to go in the winter but yesterday it warmed up a bit and was a perfect day to go to the zoo. I wish I could say it was my idea, but I was invited by one of the other wives to meet up there.

I love how close we live to the zoo. It is only a 15 minute drive from our house, and since we have a zoo pass it isn't a big deal if we only stay for an hour and then take off. I am anxiously awaiting warmer weather so we can go a couple times a week. Lacey loves looking at all the animals, and she knows that sound that a lot of them make. It is so fun to see her connect the dots as she learns new things.

Every time she saw an animal she would lean towards them and say "kiss." I don't know what it is with her and kissing, but we might have a problem when she starts dating, haha.

Maybe I'm am okay mom

Today I took Lacey to the zoo. I'm just beat so I will spill the details tomorrow.
