Thanksgiving

I know I missed a whole lot of stuff, but i'm just goin to jump to thanksgiving.
We spent Thanksgiving day at my mom's house. It was not good start to our morning and I think we left around 9:15 but ended having to stop three times. Josh was tired so we ended up switching drivers in Madison.  We got to my mom's and lunch was all ready. Everyone ate but Bella.
After a yummy meal it was time for ADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The  2nd best part of thanksgiving day is planning for black friday. I was able to get most of my trip planned out and hopefully got the most amount of gifts for the least amount of money.  I Love going out shopping for black friday. I think i've been going since I was 7 or 8. I love the thrill of standing in line awaiting to go in to find a good deal. The hunt for that deal and just the whole excitment! 
After going through the ads my sister and family had to leave, and then my cousin showed up. He and his fiancee were in town so we got to visit with them. It was nice to see them since they live in North Dakota.
They had to leave around the same time Josh had to head back home. It was sad to see Josh go  home, Bella and I both miss him.
There were some things that mom and i needed to get the holiday shopping started, so we headed up to Kmart and Shopko. We got some good deals and i finally got an I-pod that will hold a charge. I just got a little shuffle,  but it's better than my i-pod mini that only had power for two songs.
That night everyone went to bed early.
I then got up at midnight to go to walmart for the start of my black friday shopping.  I manged to get everthing i needed. Then I went home and back to bed til 5:30 when it was time to get up to go to Menard's and Kohl;s, where i only missed one thing, and then back home. Headed out with Bella to Shopko to hang outwiht my mom on her lunch. then we went to Joann's and got what i needed. back to mom's to wait for her and Dar.
We did lunch before we loaded up Dars car. Then before we left Town bella was sleeping, so I got to run into Childern's place and got awesome deals! Then to Kohl's where the still had the doorbuster prices in the computer even though it was an hour later then when they were done. Then we hit up Target. Didn't really need anything there, so it was a quick trip.
Our day ended at my sister's where we spend the night. :)
Here's some pictures

sorry for the errorrrrs

Fun at the Gym

The day after Ronin’s birthday party, Hannah and I got the girls together to play at the open gym. They had a blast but I think both started getting tired about 30 mins in.  They did have a good time though. Afterwards we went to lunch where I was shocked at how well Bella did and how much she ate! IT was a good time and hopefully we will be able to hang out again soon!

Happy Birthday Ronin

Ok So it’s a week late, but oh well. We went back to Watertown to celebrate his birthday with his family and friends. Bella was a bit shy and uncertain in a new area, but it helped that she knew some people. At one point I borrowed Ronin from family and brought him over by our group of friends and for Ella and Bella to hang out with.  Ronin seemed to enjoy himself and the his new presents. We had a good time and can’t believe that he’s already one!  Check out here for me meeting Ronin for the first time

After Ronin’s party, Bella got to check out the Duplos at my mom’s house and the Christmas lights! She was in love with them. I see us having a problem with the tree this year.

 

CRAZY

Our crazy day

Bella was up twice before 4:30am. then she must have stayed up after Josh went out because a woke up at 5:15am to all the lights on in the house, a banana half opened, whole stick of butter on the groun, step stool pushed again the dishwasher and Bella attempting to get suckers. attempt to get her to sleep with me, doesn’t work, so back to her bed we go. She last 5 mins before she out of the crib and lights on are in her room again. Try again and discovered she has pooped, so we change her butt and put her back to bed. She is out of her crib before I'm back to my bedroom. 

Finally at 6:30am i give up and let her stay awake in my room. Around 7:30am I discovered she finsihed off a bottle of teething tablets,  you know those recalled ones that I put away since they were recalled. Yeah. So call poison control, “just watch for any reactions” . Since then she has managed to climb to reach stuff of the tall dresser in our room, gotten into every toy possible and pretty sure the word “no'” means to her “GO FOR IT QUICKLY”

Going crazy here and it’s only 9:48am!!

A visit from the fox’s

Bella’s playhouse needed to be completed before the snow flies and Josh need someone to help out to get it all done. So enter Andy. He brought along the whole family for a visit! Bella was so happy to see her Aunt Tracey, Sara, Elly and Drew, too!  It was nice to visit with them and my sister. I’m also grateful for all of Andy’s hard work on the playhouse.

Here’s a bunch of Pictures from the day

Weekly Round up Nov 8-12

Monday: Was a day spend outside. I’m pretty sure we were outside most of the day. Josh was working on the silo and Bella and I were enjoying the barn. I also started to paint Bella’s playhouse.. I got one coat of paint on :)  We are totally loving this weather!

Daddy’s up in the silo somewhere

Tuesday: Bella and I started the day by attempting to get Reba’s new cd. Naturally Pamida didn't’ have it. :( So we went off to Playgroup that was crazy busy! Bella seemed to have an ok time, but really wanted to just hang out by me for most of it. afterwards we headed to Grocery store, where Bella was really good considering she was tired.  Came home and Josh helped us unload and put Bella to nap. After Bella’s nap and lunch we went out and hung outside with Josh. He was attempting to get the silo open and ready to use for feed for the cows.  He started milking with Bella while I went off to my zumba class. I left a bit early so i could go to wal-mart to get Reba’s new cd. Class was fun, just wish it wasn’t in Platteville.  Then came home to my husband cleaning underneath the car port. It’s amazing when he makes up his mind to do it, it finally gets done. LOL

Bella and Brownie

Wednesday: Bella and I went to Storytime at the library, we got there early. One of our other friends were there and she ended up reading books to Bella and her son. Thanks Christi! Storytime was crazy as the kids were pretty wound up. Bella on the other hand didn’t want to do anything but lay on me. It wasn’t until the parachute came out and I said we were leaving that she finally got up to play.  We hung out a bit afterwards before heading home for a cranky Bella to take a nap. Once she went down, I did my stuff before Diane got here. I had a great visit with her. She brought yummy chicken for lunch.  Bella woke up and was so excited to see Aunt Diane, but also asked for Uncle Duane. So She drew him a picture. (hope you liked it Uncle Duane) We ventured outside to see the baby calves and to show off Bella’s newly painted playhouse. Then as it was time for Aunt Diane to leave, we headed back in the house to wait for Daddy to come home. Everything was a normal evening until we had to go get a calf who was just born in the dark. Thankfully her mother was smart and went straight to the barn!

Bella’s photography skills..I helped her with the first one.

Thursday:

Thursday was another lazy day. Bella and I hung out outside for while before her nap. while she was napping I took advantage of catching up on some DVR and internet stuff.

I swear AquaDoodle is the best thing ever!

I was doing the same thing as her

Friday:

Friday was a fun day, even though it didn’t start out that way. We were awoke by the power going out at 4:45am. Bella got up shortly after that and didn’t like the dark. She had a night light in her room. So yeah the whole family was up until the power came back on at 6:30, I tried to get Bella to go back to sleep, but that didn’t work. Josh had to start milking late, so we had a late start to the morning. We all went out after breakfast for a bit before coming back in to get Bella down for a nap. She didn’t want one, but then slept for 3.5 hours! While she was napping my good friend came out for a visit. It was nice to see her. I think I'm on a once a month visit schedule with most of my friends these days. LOL Josh was able to visit for while too. It’s always nice when he gets to see my friends too.  Once Bella woke up, she was a bit shy, but soon she warmed up and played.  That night I was able to go out to dinner with a couple girl friends from the area. I totally miss seeing them. We had a great supper and conversation. I wish i could have stay out with them  longer, but i ate way to much and knew i needed to get home.
