For the past couple of weeks I have had fever...
No, no.. not high temperature fever.. DECORATING/ORGANIZING FEVER!
And this is no good for me... because I/we live in an RV!! There is no room for ANYTHING. I do not even have a closet for my vacuum! It just sits there.. out in the open.. gawking at me.. can you sense my frustration?
I am in this small RV every SINGLE day and I would like it to be... more of "My Style"... but it's just cluttered! We have absolutely NO STORAGE SPACE. Well, there is the storage underneath the RV.. but if I need something I have to go outside.. crouch down.. unlock it.. get out what I need... close it back. UGH! I wish I had someone that could teach me there ways; their minimizing JUNK ways.
You see, I like to hold on to stuff.
I guess you could say that I have..... attachment issues?
I pick up an item and I think to myself, "Is this absolutely necessary to keep?" and my answer is usually, "YES! YES, I MIGHT NEED THIS SOMEDAY . HAH.. its pretty bad.
Do you see where the problem lies?
Hm.. I guess it is time to minimize.. that means some of Tyler's stuff as well!
okay.. so here is my project.. new, clean, organized RV.. O.K. ready???
GOOOO!
wish me luck! :/

Anniversaries, Birthdays, and NO SLEEP.
February is now my absolute favorite month of the year... besides April.. (Hadley's Birth Month).
This month has felt incredibly long.. but in a good way.. I guess :)
To start with, Hadley took her VERY FIRST STEP this month!
She is growing up entirely too fast and I miss being able to just bundle her up like a newborn and cuddle her in my arms. Time went by slow then and now I can hardly find time to fit in a shower for myself.
She enjoys watching her older cousins run around, rough house with each other, play tag, and have their dance parties. Her eyes light up when they come running into the room and I can see on her face that she soooo badly want to join them and create chaos. I am pretty sure they are what had motivated her to take that very first step. Now.. she is taking a couple of steps every now and then. Slowly inching her way to her favorite toys. She stands up and says, "YAY!".. cheers herself on.. and starts to bounce to music on her kiddie TV shows and swings her arms around as if she were saying (yah.. that's right.. check me out.. I'm pretty cool) haha I LOVE IT. She is getting pretty good at dancing and it brings a smile to my face every time she does it. Sometimes I join her and then that REALLY gets her going..
( I have not stopped smiling while typing this blog :) )
A couple of days after Hadley taking her first steps.. we took her to stay the night with her Grandpa and Alicia. Tyler and I had our first wedding anniversary and it was AMAZING. I had the GREATEST time and I definitely want to go back again. Tyler bought me flowers.. we got an upgrade to our room (FREE OF CHARGE), and we got some great photos. (I will be uploading them in the next blog). We had an amazing 5 course meal, sat on the roof of the restaurant and watched the sun set. it was beautiful and I will never forget it. The next morning we woke up and went on a short hike around the property. It was perfect weather and for a second there.. I felt no stress and all the worries of the world had lifted off of my shoulders. I was relaxed. It was amazing.
OH, and when I went to pick Hadley up from her Granpa's.. she was drinking BM from her sippy cup! She is now OFFICIALLY weaned! YAAAYYY! *happy dance* She drinks soo well from her cup and she looks like such a big girl when she does it! well.. she is a big girl! growing very quickly!
On the 20th Tyler had his 23rd birthday.. we went on on Sunday night and saw Cory Morrow in concert at the Buck Horn and after that we hit up Pardners for some dancing.. only to be kicked out after being there for a couple of hours. It is to be expected. For some reason you're not allowed to have fun in this town.. haha.. it makes the cops and bouncers nervous.
The next morning was TERRIBLE. Tyler, Hadley, and I came down with the flu. UGHHHH the WORST MAN. Hadley is NO FUN when she is sick.. she cries.. constantly. I thought I knew what it was like to have a sick baby.. but obviously I had never had the flu to compare it to. Hadley and I stayed at my dad's so that they could help me with her. Yes, it was that bad. Hadley also had a ear infection so she was on Ibuprofen, Tylenol, ANNND Antibiotics the whole week. We got no sleep... and neither did my dad or Alicia. I felt bad exposing them to it.. and of course, after Hadley and I got better.. they got sick. SORRY DAD AND ALICIA! FEEL BETTER SOON!
But yes, I am happy to say that we are all healed up over here besides runny (Hadley's nose) and stopped up (My nose) noses.
Speaking of noses.. I had to switch Hadley's formula because apparently the formula she was on was making her mucus WAY WORSE. As of today she is now on soy.. we shall see how this works out. Hopefully well.
I have started my gardening now too! EEEEK! soo excited! I have been talking about doing this but had never actually put it into action.. but here we go!
I have now planted: Cilantro, Peppers, and 2 different types of Tomato! I am soo excited to watch them grow! (along with other things) :)
ADIOS.

UPDATE!
Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've updated.. ergg. So sorry, so sorry.
Hadley will be 10 months old in 9 days!! But, I couldn't wait that long to update so here we go!
(still planning on updating on her 10 month mark)
ANYWAY.
Hadley has been growing up entirely too fast,which, in turn.. gives me baby fever. Sometimes I want her to stay a baby forever! But don't worry ya'll.. still planning on waiting a little while till we have another one!
So Hadley has learned a few new tricks.
She has been "posing" for the camera! With weird, cute little faces...
example A:
example B:
example C:
And here she is making a face that looks like she is saying, "WHATEVER!" :
I have decided that I have the HAPPIEST baby on the face of this earth. She smiles SOO MUCH, and it fills my heart with soo much joy.. I can't get mad at her.. like really. Even if I start to have a bad day... she smiles with her cute little bottom teeth.. and it lights up the entire room. YES! I said it! She has 2 crooked little bottom teeth.. The bottom left one popped up and then the other one popped up not even 2 weeks later! Now she has her top left tooth cutting through. SO CUTE. No more gummy smile. sad.. but true.
So here she is.. giving a BEAUTIFULLY BIG SMILE!:
SEE! SO BEAUTIFUL!
These pictures were taken by my wonderful husband..with our new camera! Takes great photos yeah? LOVE THEM.
Okay.. now for the news on her sleeping.
UGH.
I have spoiled her. ROTTEN. She has been sleeping with us in our bed EVERY NIGHT. I get her to sleep and then I sneak her into her bed around 9-10.. then around 2 she wakes up.. and I bring her to bed with us. It's just easier that way.. but now I am not sleeping good..with all the tossing and turning from her and Tyler.. along with the damn TRAIN that goes by at 10pm.. 3am.. and 5am... CHOOCHOOING the WHOLE WHILE IT CHUGALUGS ON BY!!! UGh.. okay, you understand my frustration! It turns me into a BIG B! I CANNOT WAIT till we have our own place.. away from trains.. and motorcycles that start up at 6 AM.
SOOOO I don't even know where to go from here.. Well, I know what to do.. but tyler (who has to work 12 hrs a day and can't sleep through the crying from me trying to make her sleep in her own bed). So, UGH.
Yeah... then, she's up at 6-7 ready to party!
naps around 9-10
then naps around 3-4 sometimes even later.. like 5.
I know I need to fix this.. and soon.
She is still eating 3 meals a day.. with snacks in between.
I now have to give her prune juice pretty much every day.. because everything backs her up.. poor booboo.
but it's all good.. cause she LOVES the JUICE.
She has been standing up still.. but no taking steps.. yet...
I have a feeling it will be pretty soon though! I've been encouraging her as much as possible with it.. but she'd much rather jump around! haha my littly bunny. :)
Let's see... anything else?
AHH YES.. Tyler and I have our 1 year wedding anniversary this month on the 14th... We have a room in this VERY cute resort type place by Fredricksburg! I'm pretty nervous with leaving Hadley for the whole night. But.. this is definitely what I, and I'm sure, Tyler need.
Also.. Tyler will be 23 on the 20th! I remember when he was 14! haha.. such a cutie.
O.K.
Well.. need to get off the computer and get the day going.. I will leave you with oooonnnneee more picture! :)
And yes.. I took that picture^^
ADIOS!
