Lucy turns 3!

So Lucy turned 3 just a couple weeks ago, and she has turned into a little ball of fire.

She spends her days telling us to stop talking, the dogs are her best friends, and when we ask her to do something, her response now is, "one second."

When did she turn 13?? Hello! I should have 10 more years to work up to this.

Anyway, this one is going to be kinda short. There was some recent activity in the comments section of this blog that is forcing me to make it private.

So I will leave it open for another week so everyone gets a chance to read this. You will have to email me to let me know that you want to see updates, and I will send you a request to read the blog. I am sorry it has come to this, but for the safety of the family, we must!

Thanks for understanding!!!

Contact info

Hey everyone,

It was a sad day today because my phone crashed and I lost all my contacts.  I now have a bunch of emails hanging out without names attached to who they belong to.  I have also lost everyone's phone numbers and addresses.  I was able to save some, but unfortunately some will be forever lost.  ::sniff sniff::

In an attempt to recover what I have lost, I am emailing everyone that is in my email contact list to ask for the following:

First and Last name and email (so I can put a name to the handle)

Address

Birthday (just month and day)

And your phone number.  (and please let me know if it's your cell number or home number)

Sorry about this....it's what I get for putting all my eggs in one basket, or rather all my contacts in one stupid phone.  And thanks for being understanding!!!

Where did my baby go?

Lucy is like a real person these days. She makes decisions and has an opinion, and she is working things out on her own. Listen to what she did two days ago.

We are working at getting her potty trained at night. So two nights ago, Matt got her dressed for bed. I checked to see if she was in a pull up or panties, and she was infact in panties. We put her to bed, and then we went to the bed. Around 4 am, Lucy came into our room and said "Mommy, I'm *really* tired" and she crawled into bed with us and we all went back to sleep. When we all woke up to get dressed, I noticed that Lucy didn't have panties on, only her sleep pants. I thought this was really really weird, but paid no mind.

Fast forward to last night, and we were in her room picking up her toys so that we could get Jade's bed set up because she was spending the night. I looked over to Lucy's bed, and notice her jammie pants and her undies in her bed from the night before. And they were peed on. I also noticed that her sheet was stained. Turns out, she had wet the bed the night before, crawled out of bed, changed her pee pants, and then came into bed with us because her bed was wet.

And turns out....my kid's a genius.

Holy Crap!

When did we get a human? It's like last Wednesday she was a baby, and now she's like ready for college. Seriously....not fair.

But Lucy would like to say Merry Christmas!!!

I know, I know....it's been a while

So I know it's been forever since I updated. I suck as a blogging mom what can I say :)

So many things have happened since September. Lucy has started talking way more. Even though you can't understand most of it, she just won't stop. She is known to walk around the house "mumble mumble mumble, No Daddy, bad!" or "mom, go away!"

She can count to 10 in both English and Spanish. She also wants to help me cook all the time, and when daddy gets home she says, daddy I cook!

Tonight was by far one of my favorite evenings that we have had in a while. She stripped down all by herself, and then came into the kitchen, turned around and said "mom, my butt! I shake butt!" and she proceeded to shake her butt.

Also tonight she was sitting at the kitchen table and there was a picture of Santa. She studied it, and then said, "Santa brings presents. Thank you Santa"

She is getting huge. HUGE! And she is so much fun!!

A quick trip to Michigan

We took a quick trip to Michigan over the weekend for a wedding. Lucy had a blast as did we. Again there was a ton of pictures so I am including a link to my facebook so you can see them all there. Pictures are going to be at a minimum for a few weeks because on our flight home, I don't know if my purse got stepped on my Lucy or if I dropped it or what, but the screen on my camera cracked so I had to take it to Best Buy for service. I will remind everyone, this will be my freaking third camera this year. My first one just stopped turning on, the second one dropped in Lucy's swimming pool, and this one the screen broke. Thank goodness for warranties :)

Disneyland!

Here are some of the pictures from Disneyland. Lucy had such a great time. The first ride she was pretty impatient about waiting, but then she got the hang of it, because as everyone knows, you have to wait in line to get in line at Disneyland. She lasted from 730 am until 1030 pm with a 30 minute nap.

We were so excited that she had such a great time. We literally cannot wait to take her back, well except for how freaking expensive that place is.

If you click on this link, it will take you to the other pictures that I posted to facebook.
