Boogers and Troy, ha!

As Kiera and I were taking a break while our oatmeal raisin cookies were baking she found a wash cloth and decided I needed my face wiped. When asked what was one my face, she said, "boogers" clear as day! Josh and I giggled and Kiera proceeded to wipe my face and check my nose for boogers!

On another note she is very intrigued with Troy, our neighbor. Troy is fixing the wall in her room and was there with Josh earlier this week when we got home from daycare. Now when I say should we go home to see Kali and Daddy, she says "Troy?" (She associates Troy with Daddy)

Today she took a trip with Daddy and Troy to IKEA, I am sure she was so excited. She also got to see Oliber (Oliver) and Boof (Booth), Troy and Ashley's dogs. Anytime Kali barks at someone/thing outside, Kiera says "Troy" thinking he is out with the dogs. While playing with her phone last night she said "mommy, daddy" Troy" and then looked at us and smiled :-)

Kiera has been such a little ham this past week. I just want to squish her, hug her and kiss her, so I do!

Josh is having fun playing with the DSLR, so look for some pictures of our loveable, kissable, hugable Kiera!

On this March 17th...

...I took the day off in honor of our 17th week of pregnancy, St. Patrick's Day and the fact that our little miss K hasn't been sleeping well and I needed a break :-)

I have felt guilty even thinking about taking a day off for the last 2 days and laid in bed for 20 minutes this morning, when I should have been sleeping, debating on whether I should call in or just go in to work. I made the call and I am SO glad I didn't go to work!

This has been my day of celebration!

Kiera woke up at 5:45 wanting mommy, after I had slept on the floor with her for most of the night, and had been in our bed for 30 minutes. As I made the call into work, Josh laid down with her, then I came in and after about 1/2 an hour she fell back asleep and we slept until 8 a.m. We enjoyed breakfast together and brushed our teeth, dressed in green and headed to "Shell's" so Kiera could play with her friends.

Kali and I proceeded to the dog park, crazy idea since it has been in the upper 40's all week! We walked for about 10 minutes and then headed back because it was too icy to walk and Kali started rolling in the slop. Luckily for Kali I found a mini chuck-it, that someone had left, and she got to retrieve for another 20 minutes.

When we came home, I was motivated to sweep the winter sand away from the deck and garage. It is so nice outside. I opened the windows and tackled the icky smell that was coming from our kitchen, eeewwww! I love lemon and baking soda!

I put away Valentine's decorations and set out Easter and spring decorations. I love this time of year! Everything will soon be fresh and new.

I did a few loads of laundry, the dishes, made a healthy meal in the crockpot, watched some March Madness basketball, mailed a package AT the post office, worked out and got gas-not early in the morning or late at night.

Then I enjoyed a Shamrock Shake. This has been such a lovely day!!

Josh just got done with some training early so we can hang out for abit before we go get our beautiful little girl, eat supper and go mattress shopping!

I may make this holiday a celebration EVERY year!!
