It's been a year!

Saturday is our one year anniversary! Time flies! My mom surprised me today with a gift. Well, she told me her and my dad wanted to do something nice for us for our anniversary since we didn't get a honeymoon.....So they got us a room at the South Point and they are watching Kenzie Saturday night! I know that doesn't sound too exciting to most, but being away from home one night will be awesome. We can go to dinner, go to the movies, go bowling, play BINGO! We can drink and not worry about driving anywhere....so awesome!


Kenzie got her 6 month pictures done on Saturday and I am so excited to get them! We got the disc so I can have unlimited copies of them. As soon as we get them I will be posting them! She is growing so fast I can hardly believe it. She sits in my lap facing me and leans in against me and hugs me and laughs. She is moving around, scooting and rolling....not crawling yet! She is almost there though! She gets her knees up a bit but then gives up and rolls over. She is still a funky napper, but she sleeps throught the night now! Well, last night she did.....930pm-9am......I'm loving it. She is very shy towards new people but she quickly warms up. She is no longer sitting in her carseat in grocery carts, she has a seat that goes in with toys and it covers up the cart so she won't chew on it. Sh likes to laugh and scream when something is funny, I guess it's more of a squeal....but it's too cute.

I am sitting here with my poor deprived kitty on my lap, she is so lovey just wanting attention from me....she is here because Kenzie is taking a nap. This is the only time my little Paige can get my attention.
Well, a lot has been going on! Kenzie has been sleeping in her own room and new crib that my dad made for her. She does really well. Some nights are definitely better than others, but I'm just glad she sleeps in there! Here is a video of her splashing away in the tub, she loves it so much!




And for the not so good stuff....Russ' hours have been cut at work...no bueno. So our once comfortable lifestyle is now on lock down...and get this, instead of letting him have Monday's off so I can pick up some more hours at work, they're making him work 8-3 Mon-Thurs and 8-230 on Fridays....LAME! So that means there aren't any possible times for me to make some more money by working an extra shift. They don't realize that we have a family to provide for, that we don't make hundreds of thousands of dollars like they do. We are trying to figure out a way to get outta my car lease so we will be able to eat, when they're driving around in one of 4 cars......it's disgusting to me. I never thought once we'd be the ones in this situation, and it sucks.

On top of us being broke, we found out yesterday that my Gramma Elaine has breast cancer. No good. Although it is at stage zero, and her doctors are saying "if you have to have breast cancer, this is the best kind to have." As far as they know it's contained and she will have surgery to remove it and some radiation. We are all thinking positive and we are positive she will get through this just fine. Just another bump in the road.

Well I better go wake up Russ so we can get my car smogged.....Registration is due, perfect timing, right when we are piss broke.....sweet.
