Favorite Underwear?

I usually lay out clothes for Jaiden in the morning but she usually picks out something different. Well today when we got home from school she yelled to me from the bathroom "Mommy I have 2 pair of underwear on" I started laughing and she said "you picked out princess ones but the Hannah Montana ones are my favorite". Too funny!

My Foot Now

Here is what my foot looked like Monday at my appt.

It didn't take a real good picture. My feet are not the prettiest anyway but this picture it is REALLY not pretty. The incision is 2-3 inches long. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Eric made a funny when the doctor was telling us (before surgery) he wasn't sure how bad the scarring would be or how big the incision would be, he said "well there goes your modeling contract" :) I thought that was pretty good. My next appt is the 6th and I think the stitches come out but not for sure, so I will post again after they come out. By the way, I had to take all polish off before surgery and they put the red polish on my toe to make sure they were working on the correct foot. I usually don't let my polish get that bad. :)

I've Been Tagged

The rules go like this:
1. Post the rules on your blog.
2. Write 6 random things about yourself.
3. Tag 6 people at the end of your post(or as many as you want)
4. If you are tagged, do it and pass the tag along.
5. Enjoy


1. I LOVE to have my hair brushed, played with, etc. (Jaiden and I play beauty shop a lot)

2. I have always said I would like to have 3 kids but with Jaiden turning 5 in December, I still don't feel ready for #2 yet. Huh?

3. If we had a chance to move closer to Newton, we would do it in a heartbeat. You don't realize how much you miss the little things until you move 6 hours away.

4. I start thinking and planning out what to buy for Christmas in August.

5. Anytime I make or order something with meat in it, I pick it out and do not eat it. examples- chicken Alfredo, I don't eat the chicken, spaghetti- I don't eat the hamburger, etc. But if I have a hamburger or chicken breast I can eat the meat? Weird I know.

6. My favorite TV show is CSI- I love the weekends spike has the marathons :)

I like Aubrey's idea from Just Me & My Boys. I am not going to tag anyone (your welcome Amber) I just want whoever reads to drop in and say hi.

You Have Got To Be Kidding Me!

This is our view this evening-

First snowfall in Cedar Rapids, Iowa- October 26th. CRAZY!

I am not ready for this weather.

I Can't Believe My Eyes!

I have been on the couch since Thursday and the house is spotless. Eric has kept the kitchen clean, the whole house (including the basement) has been vacuumed twice, he has Jaiden trained to pick up after herself- bedroom, toy room, and take her plates to the sink after eating, and today I watched Eric take the vacuum along the corners, ceiling, and baseboards getting the spiderwebs. I couldn't believe my eyes. I asked him to get me the camera so I could take his picture to put it on my blog and he gave me the most evil look and said "I don't think so". Wonder what he is so grouchy about :) No really he hasn't even complained once!

Tomorrow at 8 am is my follow-up with the doctor for my foot. We have the camera ready to take a pic of what it looks like. I have no idea the size of the incision or how many stitches there are. I know, I know, now you are on the edge of your seat and can't wait until tomorrow :)

Thanks For The Pretty's

I just wanted to tell everyone thanks for the calls, texts, emails, balloons, candy, flowers and fruit. They really do brighten up a room and make me feel a little better :)It has officially been 24 hours since I have been helpless. Eric has done a wonderful job cooking, cleaning, laundry, and helping me up and down to the bathroom and getting up in the middle of the night with me. He has done more in the last few days helping than he has the 7 1/2 years we have been married :) (now he has shown me that he can do it so I hope he is not expecting to stop when I get better). Here are some pics of the stuff I have got.

This is from my mom and dad and brothers wishing they could be here with me :) Now I hope I can keep it alive.

These balloons are from Eric's New Media Team at Yellowbook. In the bag was 10 full size candy bars :) They are the "coolest" ;)

And this is from Chris, Jessica, and Claire Collins. This is from Edible Arrangements. This is one of the coolest places I have seen. I love fruit!

Thanks Again Everyone!

My New Tread

This is my new boot that I will be wearing for the next 3-4 weeks. It is not very comfortable and it makes my foot sweat worse than it already does. Isn't it pretty? I am sure it will go well with my work clothes :)
