Courtney's March Funnies

(stirring mashed potatoes)
Courtney- "These will be so delicious, just like fresh-baked no bake cookies!"

Courtney- "I'm hopping like a ribbit!"

(Jeremy driving)
Courtney- "Whoa! You're driving all crazy again!"

Courtney- "Mom, can you get my gummies out of my box, 'cause my fingers are just little and tiny!"

(helping me clean house)
Me- "Wow, this banister is dirty!"
Courtney- "You can say that again!"

Me- "Should we scrub the front door?"
Courtney- "Yah! We better hop to it!"

(4 am she was screaming and crying because she wanted a snack-- eating on her bedroom floor)
Me- "Cough-Cough"
Courtney- "Shh Mommy, you'll wake the neighbors!"

Me- (I bent over to pick something up)
Courtney- (kisses my behind)
Me- "Did you just kiss my butt?!"
Courtney- "I sure did, because i love you!"

Me- "Wow, those are some stinky poops!"
Courtney- "Yep, they're ooey gooey Polly Pocket poops!"

(Courtney giving Jeremy hugs)
Courtney- "I love you, Princess Daddy!"

(Courtney cranky, crying, booby, whining)
Me- "What's the matter?"
Courtney- "I just need another nap."

(Courtney watching t.v., jeremy and i talking)
Courtney- "Mommy, Daddy, stop talking. I'm trying to watch my cartoon!"

Jeremy- "Where in the crap are my shorts??"
Courtney- "Wherever in the crap you put them!"

(T.V. nickelodeon announcer saying "Come along and join us at WWW..." I turn off t.v.)
Courtney- "Dot Nick Junior Dot Com!"

Me- "Should we go sit on the potty?"
Courtney- "No."
Me- "What?!"
Courtney- "NO no NO!!"
Me- "What?!"
Jeremy- "I think she said no."
Courtney- "Daddy's so smart."

Poor Belley

Our poor cat sure does put up with a lot from Courtney. She just sits there and takes it. Here she is with Courtney's brand new big girl panties wrapped around her head and her shoes on her back. *sigh*

Play Date

Last week my friend Megan and I had a play date for Courtney and Isa. We went to the Menan City Park and had a pic nic and also played at Isa's house. The girls had lots of fun!

I love this swing! This is the very same swing that Jeremy and I had our first kiss, then later had our first "i love you", and then where Jeremy proposed... all while I was sitting on this swing with Jeremy knelt down in front of me under stars and moonlight...awwwww..... haha. And now here's our daughter sitting on the same swing. I wonder if the park would miss it if i just...up and took it....?

St. Patricks Day

For St. Patricks Day, Courtney helped me make zucchini bread muffin cupcakes with green frosting. They didn't look too terribly appetizing, but they tasted pretty good, we had fun making them, and they were green, so that's all that matters!

Rakin' up the garden with Daddy

Spring is here! Before it snowed we covered the garden in leaves to keep the flower bulbs nice and cozy for the winter. We've now got it all uncovered and have tons and tons of purple and white snow crocuses in full bloom, as well as tulips on the way and lots of other green things poppin up. (you can't see the flowers in these pics because i took them a week or so ago, and they have since sprouted!) oh... (and isn't Courtney's tiny toddler rake so cute?!)

Swimming!

For some reason, today Courtney stripped down to nothing, put on her swimming suit, and announced she was going swimming. She was so sure of herself and so excited, it would've broken my heart to tell her no! Since it's obviously way too cold to swim outside, this is the best I could do. She seemed happy enough!

6 YEARS!

Yesterday Jeremy and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary! My morning began at 4:00 am when Courtney decided to start screaming bloody murder because she NEEDED a chicken nugget and some juice right at that very moment. So we sat on her floor and had a little 4 am snack in the dark... during which I coughed and she scolded me, "Shh...you'll wake up the neighbors." yes, this coming from a 2 year old who was just minutes before screaming like it was the end of the world.

I was then allowed to go back to bed, and she even let me sleep in til 9! Later that day, Jeremy's mom, Dawn, was kind enough to take our little monster for a while so we could go out. I nearly felt a bit naked without toting a large purse filled with diapers, toys, and snacks, and a toddler on my hip. What a feeling! We were planning on going to Texas Road House for dinner, but being a Friday night, there wasn't even a spot to park in the parking lot... let alone get in and be seated before our movie started! So we headed to 5 GUYS burgers and fries, which was just as delicious and 1/3 the price! We had some time after we ate, so we went to the mall to wander around, and I got my engagement/wedding rings cleaned... so now they're super sparkly and gorgeous! Then we went on over to Edwards for a movie. It was great to be able to get out!

I was going to put some wedding pictures on here... but oddly enough, i don't have a single wedding picture on my entire computer! (They're all on my mom's computer).

So here's an engagement pic!


This picture makes me laugh. Jeremy looks so skinny and my hair was so long. He has since then beefed up 50 plus pounds, and as for me... well, my hair is a bit shorter, that's about it!

Happy 6 year anniversary, Jeremy, I love you!

Oh Dear

I don't have a picture for this, because she was as naked as could be, but here's a really good example why you should always pay attention to what your kids are doing!

Courtney had asked for cut up apples and a bowl of hershey's chocolate syrup to dip them in... a treat she usually enjoys. I set her up at her picnic table to have her snack and watch Dora, while I sat at the computer and tried to figure out Gimp... a type of photo shop that I can't for the life of me figure out! So here I am deep in thought when Jeremy comes down the stairs saying, "Mommy isn't paying attention!" I look over at my child, who is as naked as you can get, just smeared from head to toe in chocolate syrup. My happy-as-can-be little 2 year old, going to town with her body paint, smearing "beautiful pictures" on her belly with the biggest smile on her face.

Needless to say, it was straight to the tub for her! Which she also loves, and often comes up with excuses (purposely getting as dirty as possibly) to get into the tub. I'm sure this was one of her schemes. Makes me nervous as to what she's going to come up with the next time I turn my back for 2 seconds!

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off To Work We Go

So the last week or so has been "Bring your wife and child to work" day for Jeremy. We've been helping him work in this house, and it's actually been a lot of fun getting to spend the entire day together, even if it is working! (and I come home so exhausted I can barely stand!) Courtney's been having a blast. She thinks it's fun to spread out a blanket each day at noon for a picnic in the bedroom area. She has a 'it's working time' song as well. Pretty darn cute! We fashioned her this beautiful painting dress to keep her clothes paint free. She would twirl in it and thought it was the greatest thing ever!

What a good little helper!!!
