Alumni

We spent the day at Brad's high school alumni baseball game. We were excited that Brad's parents were able to come watch too. We thought it was going to be rained out, but it stopped just in time. The field was crazy muddy though, yuck, Brad's catchers mask, glove, cleats, and shin guards are nasty. For real going to have to hose them off. Brad's team won state champs in 2001, the year before he graduated, so they had a reunion a few weeks ago. It was cool to be able to meet some of his old team mates and friends. BUT how in the heck was that TEN years ago? For realz time is going WAAAAYYYY too fast! Anywayz, the Alumni team won, hehe, so that was pretty awesome. Came home to hot showers and naps, cause we were FREEZING and soooo tired cause we had a date night last night, and stayed out too late( our movie didn't even start until 11pm). We saw "True Grit", which was an AWESOME movie, but my favorite line from the movie applied to how I felt waking up this morning after only a few hours of sleep, "I done got old".

Raelee has had a few accomplishments this week. We're very proud of her. She:
*took 10 steps on her own.
*loves to push the table chairs all over the house.
*Helps me take clothes out of the dryer.
*Climbed a picnic table by herself. Crazy baby!
*let me do her hair in twist and piggies for the first time. Soooo cute!
*started blowing kisses.
*Learned how to get down off our bed by herself. Still makes me nervous though.
*Had her first M&M'S..sorta. I was in the kitchen making Rae's breakfast, when I realized she was being to quiet. I found her under the coffee table with a Costco sized bag of peanut M&M'S, shoveling them into her mouth. She had green colored drool all over her face, they definitely were melting in her mouth. Rae wasn't able to chew them, so she was sucking all the shell and chocolate off and had a mouthful of peanuts. Scared.me.to.death. She was NOT happy when I fished them out of her mouth.
*Whenever she can get a hold of clothing items, she now holds them up to herself and smiles, like she's trying them on. So cute. She puts Brad's ties up to her neck.
*Reads her books out loud to herself in her babble.
*Has her front teeth coming in.
Our lil bug is growing up!
P.S. I have some super cute pics of some of these accomplishments, but my computer is being dumb and won't let me upload.

10 things about me!

1. I LOVE to read. I am a speed reader, which usually is good, but when ever I find a really, really, really good book, I always wish I could make it last longer. Example: I read the Hunger Games series in 2 days, and that was off and on during that two days.

2. I probably will never eat oreo cookies again due to an incident that involved eating the whole bag. By myself. Not proud of this, but it cured my cravings for oreos.

3. I'm not good at letting friendships go. I know people move on in life, but its hard for me to see someone that I used to be super close to and now we don't even talk. Sad.

4. I LOVE to be outdoors. From seeing my paleness it's obvious that I haven't been in awhile, but I can not wait for it to warm up so that Raelee and I can have some adventures.

5. I HATE 12 hour shifts due to some days I never even see the sunlight. 

6. I LOVE having 4 days off every week, wish it could be more hehe.

7. I don't like doing things alone. I love to have a friend with me. I'm going to be super sad when my little bro leaves on his mission for two years, cause he's normally my shopping buddy.

8. I have tons of projects for my house, but lately am lacking the motivation to get started. 

9. I'm in LOVE with DVR. It has changed my life.

10. I love dancing crazily around the house to good tunes( Brad does too). That's probably why Raelee has some awesome dance moves for a baby.

update

What a week! All three of us are now on antibiotics. I'm pretty sure we all had the flu, plus I had pneumonia and Raelee had a bad ear infection. I was so thankful on Wednesday that my mom was able to leave work and meet me at my doctors office. I was feeling so bad, absolutely no energy, achy, Raelee felt like she weighed 100 lbs when I picked her up. Getting out the door to the doctor took everything I had, and I still had to go to my doc, pick up prescriptions and then take Raelee to her doctor. My mom meet me at my doctors, we left the car, then she took me to get my prescriptions, took me home to sleep, then took Raelee to her appt, took her to get her prescriptions and then took Raelee to their house so that I could rest. Saved my life! The last few days have  been jammy days for me and Rae. Today, I feel like I have a bit more energy, actually took a shower and got dressed!Luckily I don't have to go back to work until next week. I need to still rest up over the next few days. I'm definitely ready to kick this sickness. I feel like we've spent the whole month fighting this bug! We're ready for some fun!

whining

I am so ready for warm weather and for sickness to be over. This is our third round of crud this winter. Raelee's had it since Christmas, but now the coughs worse, so to the doctor we go tomorrow. I started getting sick Sunday, I'm partially blaming work for being sooooo insane busy and running down my immune system. Then Brad started in with the crud last night. Fun times here at the Wonsch household. I had to call into work tomorrow, first call in of the year, there goes my goal of no call ins. Ahh well, what can you do?
