A dirty story...

Of course I haven't posted in about a month so it will be a slew of photos/updates from the last month's happenings. First off though I need to tell a little story that all mothers will appreciate. I went to Barnes & Noble today to just enjoy getting out, look at some books and hang out with Taylor. I found a cushy seat, had two books to check out (What to expect the First Year & Twilight Photo Book). That's what all moms have right?! Well, I wanted to hang out with Tay-lo too, so I go to get her out of the stroller and before I could even get her all the way out...da da da...the smell hit me first...blowout!!

I had to hold her facing out and try to not get it all over me. I bumble my way into the bathroom holding her and dragging the stroller behind us. I have to use the gross changing station in the bathroom and my experience today affirmed that those things are disgusto. Let's just say that we were both knee deep in green poo. In trying to get her outfit off, the poo got all the up to her neck, under her armpits, etc. Well, as I'm trying to wipe it off I notice that it is all over my arm...sick. Then she starts screaming, then another toddler in the bathroom with his mom starts asking why the baby is crying so bad. I luckily had a ziploc bag from my lunch that I was able to throw her clothes into. I'm just laughing the whole time because there's nothing else I can do at this point. Let's just say it all went downhill when I had a screaming, naked baby slung over one arm and trying to wipe with the other hand, and poop is going places I can't even control! I used almost all my wipes trying to wipe both of us off. Needless to say I put her new onesie on backwards, I still found poop on her arm 10 minutes later, and the two of us finally sat down to look at us some Edward!! Yikes, the joy of motherhood!! We both took a much needed bath after that experience.

Ok, here are some pics...

Brookie's 1st b-day at Cinzetti's. Sorry Brooke isn't in the pic

Pool time with daddy. She is really loving the pool these days as long as it's not too cold. She's so cute!! And, I finally gave in and got her swim diapers after going in the pool about 5 times without one. I was asking for it holding out that long, I didn't want to end up being that mom where the diaper explodes in the water so I finally gave in.

Taylor and Grandma! P.S. You can't see it in this shot but this is an outfit with leggings that my mom got her. Seriously, Taylor is more fashionable than me most of the time. My mom was so great and came to stay with us for a week to take care of Taylor while I oriented all week at the new hospital I'm working at. To be honest, I think my mom loved having some alone time with Taylor. Aaron was gone in Florida all week for work, so it was just us girls, and we had a great time...ate out, watched our girlie shows, and chatted. Thanks for coming up mom...you're the best!!

Us 3 girls enjoyed our girls time, but were also excited when Stewy came home. Taylor had a special surprise for daddy when he came home. If you can't tell her onesie says.."Welcome home Daddy-o".

more quality daddy daughter time. I won't say out loud that they are probably watching UFC together. Good quality TV watching. Yikes! She is just watching the colors at this point right?!

We love Colorado and it's erratic weather and beautiful nature. We went to Poudre Canyon and went tubing down the river. Well, most everyone else did while I was busy feeding/watching Taylor, but we had a great time. It was cloudy and sprinkling driving up, and then the sun came out for a few hours while we were there and then the rain started coming down as we were leaving. Perfect timing. It was beautiful up there.

Stewy and our cutie pie niece Laurene walking out to jump off the rock. I'm slightly ashamed to admit that I may have only put a toe in the water this entire trip. I was watching the baby....
