Bed time and Bath time!

Here is Sammie all ready for bed. She loves her little bed time routine. We change her clothes and wash her face. Then we read her a story and turn on the night light. Then I put her in her crib with her little "lovie" blanket and turn on the mobile. Then she sticks her fingers in her mouth and is ready to sleep!

Sammie loves bath time! I think most little kids like to have a little naked time! Plus they get to splash and make a mess!

This is Sammie's super cool inflatable duck bath tub! We upgraded her from the baby bath tub to this one. It is super cool. It quacks when you squeeze it's bill! Plus if Sammie falls over it does not hurt! I love this picture cause she has the best hair ever!

Sam also loves to play with her little bath toys! Kids have it so easy! They get toys when they take a bath! What fun!

Better!

Hey all! Thank you so much for all of your comments and suggestions. It made me feel so much better to know that all of you care! I would love to open my own pre-school but in the good ol state of Nevada you have to have your Early Childhood endorsement, which I do not have yet, so I decided to go with day care. I made flyers and handed them out at church, so we will see if anyone calls. I am doing better though. My friend Tracey and I have been trying to help each other workout. It makes such a difference to have a buddy. Sammie is doing better. Two out of the four teeth have finally broken through! Yeah! So we are half way there. Plus Von and I went on this awesome canoe trip down the Colorado on Saturday and it was SWEET! We saw lots of big horn sheep and lizards. We also hiked to some hot springs. It was really fun. Anyway, I hope everyone is well! Thanks again for all of your love and support! It really did help!

Goals

OK so here comes a rant. I mean a rut. I am stuck in a life rut. I feel like I am drowning. Everyday I get up and I go through the motions of life, but each day I look back at what I accomplished and I find myself seriously lacking. Then I got to thinking and I decided that my problem is that I don't have any goals. I don't know where I am going and what I want to accomplish. I need some new goals. I also decided that I need a hobby. I have been wasting my days away in front of the TV and I am tired of it. I want to stop watching other people live and start living again myself. I also need a job only I can't think of a job that I can do and still stay home with Sammie and also be able to spend time with Von. I have thought about starting a day care out of my home and try watching kids, but I do not even know where to start. So if anyone knows of anyone who needs a babysitter or of any job that I can do from home please let me know. I am in need of some help. It is at times like these that I wish I had some family around. Living so far from everyone is really hard sometimes. I am sorry if this is a negative post, but I just needed to get it all out. Thanks for reading!

Teething!

So Sammie is getting more teeth! So I have been giving her carrots. They are great for her to chew on. She is getting so big! She is almost 9 months old! Crazy I know!

She loves to play on the floor with all of her toys.

Sammie is not quite crawling yet, but she is getting really close. She is getting really close to sitting up!
