Yay to a video blog update! So like I’m still slightly blog stupid so I haven’t quite figured out how you post a video to your blog and I just learned and I’m so excited but then I didn’t really have any cool videos to post. Just those videos where I’m trying so hard to make Scoti laugh but really it doesn’t work and I just sound like an idiot talking baby talk into my phone.. But then there are a few videos from a few weeks ago when we first got out to Kentucky that I thought hey these would actually be good to post because it’s like one of her first times rolling and everybody missed that back at home so here are a few videos. And yes I still am talking baby talk and sounding like an idiot but its okay. It’s cute right??? 


this video is slightly long. This is when it took hard work and time to roll that whole body over.

I'm sure everyone has seen one million videos of her laughing but this one makes me laugh because she see's me recording and gets so serious. which is so her! She will not laugh or smile as soon as the camera comes out so it's so hard to catch those cute moments.
I love this one too. It's here just being her. Playing with anything but her toys of course. She fights with the wipes and it keeps her entertained for hours. Then you get to see her full roll that we accomplished just a few weeks ago!


On the subject of being blog stupid can I just apologize the way my blog looks. I don’t know how to add like people or things to the side, I don’t know how to change my picture and the background is going to stay the same till my blogging days end. I am just proud of myself for figuring out how to add Scotlynn’s name to Chad’s and mine and I figured out how to center pictures. Yayy for my smartness.

Now a little update how about…. Well worst mother of the year goes to….. ME! I was changing Scoti on our bed and went to go grab a new outfit out of her room and like I didn’t even think the chick could roll on the bed, that is until I heard a thump and then a cry. I felt like the worst mom ever and then I started crying and I thought she was going to die or something. It was horrible. And I don’t really know why I keep telling people I did such a thing. When it first happened I immediately thought, I am not telling Chad! I am not telling anyone! But now you all know but lets not judge because I really am a decent mom and Scoti is still super happy and alive. 
Another thing that went down was Chantelle(my sister in law) and her little girls got here! It’s been fun to have them here and Scoti has little cousins to play with!
We went to the fair this past weekend and that was fun to get out and see a little of Lexington. We need to get out more and explore but I’m way lame and think it’s so hard to get myself ready, scoti ready and go somewhere. I can’t imagine two kids. We are enjoying our days together though. We usually get a nice walk in everyday, watch wonder pets, I just started greys anatomy and ya I can’t really think of what we exactly do. It works though. The pool just opened this last week. It’s starting to warm up over here but the water is still nippy so it’ll probably be a week or two before we make our first pool trip. Chad is doing really good out here and working so hard for us! He is right on track for his 200 goal and I couldn’t be a more proud wifey!

Oh my and how could I ever forget to mention this! I have officially booked my ticket home for the 4th of July! The second I confirmed the flight I was such a happy girl and couldn’t stop smiling. I am so excited to go home and see family and friends and then to be home for the 4th makes it all that much better! Doesn’t get much better than Richfield on the 4th. We are sure going to miss Chady though!

Here are a few pictures!!

Chads goal poster my mom and I made him! It's so cute huh!
We've loved coloring in spaces everyday when he gets home!
35 down, 165 to go! 

All of us at the fair!

The first step in fixing a problem is admitting you have a problem. I am blogging today to admit a problem. A big one. That I really wasn’t fully aware about until about a half hour ago. This summer packing up and moving away again I told myself I would be so much better and smarter about how and what I packed to bring out with us. Last year being a rookie I packed some pretty ridiculous things. I packed our down comforter, duvet, decorative pillows, Jesus, a 20x20 of Chad and I, easels, a 40” TV, 5 sweatshirts (for South Carolina), 10 pairs of pants, and just lots of other clothes that really never got worn. We packed Chad 10+ pairs of shoes and him 5 pairs of pants. We learned and really did soo good this year. I literally packed like 5 outfits. One pair of jeans, a few dresses, lots of lounge around clothes and all my swimsuits. Chad and I both cut back and packed about a fourth of what we did last year. I say Chad and I though because I just barely got done unpacking Scoti’s room. After hanging a few things up, filling up every drawer, and stacking things upon things on the shelves I decided to do a count of everything and am a little embarrassed. You’ve got to remember we are only out here for a few months. After the count of everything here are my results……

24 pairs of pants.
9 skirts
12 dresses
6 jackets/cardigans
7 shirts
33 onsies
18 pairs of pjs
5 swimsuits
3 swimsuit covers
3 swim hats
6 pairs of shoes
15 pairs of socks
20 bibs
6 blankets
30 burp cloths
3 boxes of qtips ( that is more than 150 qtips… I would have to clean her ears more than once a day to even use them all)
and then this is the best one……
I packed 3 different baby combs. My baby doesn’t even have hair. Oh man.

After my count I also remember I have a load of baby clothes in the washer. So add a few more onsies, pants, and whatever else is in there.

I have always thought I needed more with her but I am now admitting I have enough. At least enough 3-6 month. I am making a blog promise to myself that I will not buy her any more clothes. For a while that is.

So when there were boxes everywhere just a few days ago and I was wondering how do we have so many boxes, I packed so good. I now know why. Just think how smart and good we will be next year. We learn new things every year! 

Now lets just pray Chad doesn’t read my blog or there might be a fight going down tonight. 

Her skirts. With half having the price tags still attached.
Horrible I know.

Some of her clothes hung up.

Let me add a few more pictures to make this blog not so depressing on my part....

So I sent this picture to my family and said oh how she loves Sophie.
Shortly after my dad texted me back and called her "hannibal lecter"
I said what the heck is hannibal lecter.
He texted back and said it was a young boy who's mother never took out his binky and told me to google it...
I sent him this back and said how dare you compare!
Scoti would only nap on me this day. I loved our snuggle time!
Standing up against couch so big!

My bald beauty!
We bought her a bouncer today and she loves it!
