She wore an....

I am all for a cute bikini. And not that this really matters since we live in WA and probably wont even go swimming. But try carrying a toddler around in a two piece. Its not fun worrying if your top is going to get pulled the wrong way.

I actually got excited when I read the headline "Hooray!! The one-piece bathing suit is back" Maybe I am just old. Maybe I should not be so excited about the fact that the one-piece is back. But I don't care...I think they are cute, chic and I am going to get one this year(if i go swimming) http://beauty.ivillage.com/

Dear New Neighbors

Thank you for your nice introduction a few months ago saying that you want to be good neighbors and to let you know if there is ever a problem. Although we do appreciate this gesture, we all know that you didn't mean it. I wish you did. I would march right over to your house and ask you ever so politely to please shut your yappy little dog up. The constant barking keeps my child from napping, wakes us up at night and quite frankly just annoys the hell out of us while we are working in our yard. 

Also, you guys are extremely loud people in general. Do you really have to shout from outside to people inside? I don't care if you are going to the store, so just walk your happy ass inside and tell whomever it is that you are trying to communicate with directly. Thankyouverymuch.

And about the monster truck that you have parked outside in my half of the yard. What the F are you thinking. Just so you know you have killed my grass in four areas where your tires have been for the last week. I would like to let you know that I am calling the city tomorrow and you will probably have ticket. Its illegal to park there anyway.  Sorry. Please get off of my lawn.

Sincerely, 

Bethany Watson

tub o' baby

I really wish that I had seen this when Samantha was tiny. She never really liked laying down in the baby tub once she got past 2 months.

She probably would have loved sitting up in this tub! Not to mention the cute photo ops it would have given me ;)

The concept really does make sense. The tub keeps the baby warm and snuggled. Which is what they love. Warm and snuggly. Well...until they learn how to crawl/walk. Then they love to be independent and only want snuggles when they are tired.

Mommy's little helper!!

Isn't she just adorable?!

ok ok ok...so I put the watering can in her hand so I could take pictures...and then she ripped the petals off of my tulips.

But in twenty years when we are looking at old pictures that won't matter! What will matter is that she is cute, smiling and her hair is in pig-tails.

I will take one order of sunshine please!

sigh. another soggy day. I want the sun back!

Even with all these soggy days I STILL have to dig up my Japanese Maple this weekend and take it back to Lowes because it is dead/dying. I believe it has a fungus that was aquired before me. It is not my fault this tree is dying.

Since I believe that my tree has a root fungus, I cannot replace it with a new one...because then the next tree will catch the nasty fungus.

The forcast says that there will be five minutes of sun this weekend so maybe I will have time ;)

Austin started his new job this week. I am very grateful that he has found a job "in this economy" but...I wish that it was not in Portland. What are Sam and I going to do without our buddy all week?? We are going to be missing him. Weekends will have to do.... :(
