Good Times

BreAnn and Sydnee stopped by our apartment on Saturday to show Todd and I Sydnee's new dresses. She has a fantastic love of dresses and has to throw a fit and cry if she has to wear pants. So while they were visiting Sydnee saw our rock band stuff and decided to give it a go. Now she is only 3 and too tiny to actually play, but man was she sure pretending! She is such a little fire cracker. She asked me to play the drums and I said I didn't want to, and she asked me what I wanted and I said 1000 million dollars. She went running into our bedroom and came back with a dollar bill she stole from Todd's change dish. She is just so cute and smart. Love her. This is Syd Wailing on her guitar making her rock face in her new dress that she couldn't just show me, but had to put on, along with the tights! And this is Syd and Todd playing pretend rock band.

Oh Todd...

So Todd went in for an eye exam last Wednesday, and yes, he too has to wear glasses. He is liking that he can see better, read the board at school, street signs, license plates and pretty much anything that was far away. He prefers to wear his contacts, but I like him in the glasses, he looks pretty damn sexy to me!

Happy V-Day!

So Saturday was the Ellison's first married V-Day!! We had gotten home from Wendover about 3 hours before our dinner reservations, so we were pretty tired. After a much needed shower to get the casino out of my hair, I started to get ready. Because of a mis-hap during a shopping trip, I had bought the wrong size of pants, thought I returned them and went to try on my valentines day outfit only to find out that I had bought the same pants back! So not only am I really tired from playing all night long, till 3:30 to be exact, I have nothing to wear because none of the stores have the size I need! (yes I tried to exchange them at 4 different stores) So by the time we went to this romantic dinner, my hair fell, my makeup was sweat off and I had already yelled at Todd for telling me I look great when I was not happy with an outfit I put on.

He took me to Log Haven.. it was amazing! I totally didn't deserve it and felt like a total jerk of a wife for freaking out about clothes and spoiling the date. I did apologize to Todd (after a glass of wine.. to settle my nerves) and realized that being with the one you love on Valentines day, and really any other day is way more important than what we look like or what we are wearing. And I seem to always take for granted all the wonderful things that my life has handed me and everything Todd does for me. He married ME for heavens-sake! So for the last time regarding this awful holiday mishap- I am sorry Todd, I love you very much and am thankful for the thought and patients you showed me on our first married V-Day. I love you!!

Groundhogs Day..

Well Punxsutawney Phil has made his decision, to my dismay, 6 more weeks of winter.. eww.. After seeing a budwiser commercial last night, I got an idea.. http://www.hulu.com/superbowl/55644/super-bowl-xliii-ads-bud-light-bud-light-lime.. If this is all it takes I better head to the store! ;) Happy Groundhogs day!

Where's my apron?

I have a confession to make.. All the years of telling my mom that I am allergic to doing anyone elses laundry, dishes and or other cleaning things.. I have actually begun to enjoy this housewife junk! I just made my first crock pot roast, to the liking of the husband. I have a routine with the laundry and dishes and the other house cleaning stuff, and i try to put a full week of work in to boot! But a few weeks ago I about had a melt down when doing the third load of laundry.. "Is this what my life is now?" but seeing the look on Todd's face when I whip up some delicious dinner, not unlike how my mom used to, or the smell of fresh clean laundry, I know its all worth it. You may laugh at me because like my friend Terill said, 'there are only two of you, wait till you have kids, you will be doing laundry non-stop for the rest of your life." It makes me feel good to help out the house. And feels even better that it is my husband and my new life that I am doing all this for!

Sydnee Has Glasses!

We found out last week that Syd is farsighted. So she has to wear glasses. BreAnn just sent me a picture of her.. OMG how cute is that?

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a fun safe new year! Todd and I had a good time. We went to dinner and then the movie The curious case of Benjamin Button. It was pretty good. but it was long! In fact it was so long that by the time we got home, it was almost midnight! Todd and I had our first married new years kiss... so romantic! haha I was reading Eragon and Todd was playing a video game. Yep, we have been married for THREE MONTHS today, and we ring in the new year doing our own things.. But hey, That's how we roll! Happy Happy New Year!
