Happy Water Baby

We got Courtney a little kiddie swimming pool yesterday and she LOVES it! She says, "I go swimming!" and gets soo excited to get her swimming suit on (thanks Jaz, haha) and climb in the pool. She played for an hour in it yesterday and also today.

The funniest thing EVER: We forgot to get some little swimmer diapers, so she just wears normal diapers and they soak up the water and make her bum gigantic. I said, "Courtney, you have a ghetto booty!" And she smacked her bum, and flicked her finger (with all the attitude of ghetto) and said, "Ghetto boo-TAY!" soooooo funny!

She wasn't too sure about going down the slide at first. Grandma Hansen helped her.

Now she loves it!

Jeremy built me this trellis and arbor for my birthday. He had some help from his mom and brother, and I stained them. I think they turned out great! the next step is putting dark brown shutters on all the windows ; )

Surprise!!!

On Sunday I was told we were having a twilight party Tuesday morning, playing the board game and watching the movie. I thought this sounded great and was looking forward to it. Come Tuesday morning I had forgotten all about it, and Jeremy had asked if i wanted to go to Rexburg with him that morning for a couple hours while he worked. I said sure, why not? So I get to Rexburg and realize I was missing the Twilight Party! I called and said I was going to miss it, and my mom and melina really didn't sound happy about that for some reason. 2 1/ 2 hours later when Jeremy dropped me off there, I walked in the door and hear, "Surprise!" They totally threw me a surprise birthday party and I dang near missed it! Cake, ice cream, presents, decorations, everything. Thanks guys, you're awesome!!! sorry i almost wasn't there ; )

Sweet Hubby

The other day Jeremy got me flowers for no reason at all ; ) I love my husband!

He also got Courtney a magic crystal scenery.

Here it is just barely set up.

One hour later.

7 hours later.

The next morning after Hurricane Courtney hit.

Where'd you get that vocabulary?!

Courtney has been coming up with the funniest sentences lately, and I had no idea she even had that kind of vocabulary! 2 nights ago for dinner I asked her if it was yummy, and she said, "yah, that's delicious!" This morning I gave her some change to put in her piggy bank, and I said, "Now you have more monies!" she said, "yes, that's fantastic!" And every day when Jeremy comes home from work she runs up to him, hugs his legs and says, "Daddy, I miss you!" When I ask her if she missed Momma, she says, "No, I miss Daddy."
She's also starting to blame us for stuff. She lost her sippy the other week, and for days and days when asked where it was, she would say "Daddy take it away!" Come to find out she had hidden it in a cupboard and was blaming Daddy the whole time. She's also getting bossy. When we're out on the patio she drags me to the lounge chair and orders, "Mommy, SIT DOWN!" Heaven forbid I should get up before she's ready for me to get up, i get quite the scolding, finger pointing and all.
she's not even 2 yet and she's already mastered the terrible two's attitude.

Playin' on the Slide

Today is overcast and rainy, and I couldn't be happier! I'm quite sick of this 90 degree heat. So I took Courtney out on the patio and let her play on her slide for a while.

I was laughing so hard when I took this picture, she was mad because I was standing infront of the slide to take her picture and was in her way. She was yelling, "Mommy MOVE!"

Whenever Courtney see this picture she freaks out saying, "Courtney no shoes!!" Why she's obsessed with shoes, I don't know, she has a billion pair to choose from each day, and every day has to be a different pair than the day before.
