A good day

Last Saturday was a good day. Shawn went Goose hunting with his dad, and so I spent most of the day home with Adria. I do love to work and I love my job, but lately things have been slow at work so I've been missing my baby and wishing I could spend more time with her. I was so excited that I didn't have anything else planned because it was the perfect day to spent with her. She was happy all day and just loved playing with whatever and being with me. She took 2 good naps which gave me the chance to clean the house and finish some scrapbooking. We went to the store to get groceries, and she was an angel! She just sat in the cart, swinging her legs and looking around. She is so cute, and such an amazingly good baby. It is incredible to me just how much I love her. She makes me so happy, especially on days like that. It is hard at times, but I really do love being a mom. It's impossible to NOT love someone who loves you so much. I hope I can be a good mom to her, I want to always be there for her and hopefully and can even be her best friend. ... Chuppa - I Love You!

Birthday Fun

So, Saturday we threw a little party for my 1 year old and I think things turned out well. We barbecued hamburgers and brats, everyone ate then we had Adria open presents. She did surprisingly well for a 1 year old - as long as we started a tear for her she'd rip the wrapping paper right off! Then we sang to her and ate cake and ice cream. She of course made a mess of herself, but everyone seemed to have a good time. We decorated the house for her, and she really liked the balloons. Now the house is a disaster, (Sunday night we wanted to relax and enjoy the remainder of the weekend) so tonight we have the task of cleaning up all the decorations and putting all the toys away.

Sunday evening we went on a walk, it was really nice and I could tell that a lot of people had spring fever. I made the comment that it was good to see so many people out with their kids, it's nice that the weather is starting to allow for more outdoor activity. Shawn and I want to make it a point to go on at least one walk or bike ride a week now that the weather is warming up. It's nice to be out of the house and it's good to be getting some exercise. I don't like being such a 'homebody' - I have been bored lately and I'm really craving some activity! Walking, bike riding, ice skating, bowling, golfing, ANYTHING! Just get me out of the house and let's do something different.

MC Hammer - was in the house!!!

Now that I've seen MC Hammer in person, my life is complete. ... Okay so not really, but it was quite awesome to see such an icon of the 80's up close and personal. He came to concert at the McKay Events Center which is the building where I work, and while I didn't pay for tickets to go to the actual show I did get to see and hear his practice. I neglected to bring my camera to work for this momentous occasion, so all I had to get a picture was my cell phone. I apologize for the poor quality, but the dude in the black is good ole MC himself. Too bad he didn't sing 'Cant Touch This' for his practice. The only thing that could have made the day better would have been to hear him say; "STOP - HAMMER TIME!"
