June Going On

After posting this and checking it out...I realize that the pics all posted weirdly...so you will have to scroll around to find the pics that go with the copy..next time it will be fixed!

Ok well... I have a mish mash of thoughts and facts to share, none of which make one entire story so i'll just begin. :P
Baby had his first cold this month! Crappy thing is I got it to as well as my mother...so it was a pain to get through, because I felt like crap, and he was running fevers and being medicated as well as me being medicated and having to get up and nurse, and check temperatures, etc...haha SO needless to say, next time he gets a cold (or me) I am breaking out the face masks and pulling back on the kisses...because ONE cold in the household is ENOUGH at a time! And I have the worst immune system ever so we'll see what happens. Good thing he got over his cold in like 4 days, where mine took about 2 weeks, a doctor visit (Robbie went to doc too and got antibiotic eye drops) I got pill antibiotics, and am ALMOST through with this thing! yuck!

Today is Father's Day and Robbie stayed in the church nursery for the first time ever!! I figured since he got his first cold over with (from a daycare baby of course) we might as well hit up the nursery for the full on germs!! haha j/k He did fine and all the ladies LOVED him! They wanted to keep him. But of course, I was like gimme my baby!!! ha



I circled him in red there...cutest baby ever!!

Ok what else...

Well a few weeks ago I decided to take a stab at making my own homemade organic baby food. It went well. I made carrots. They are still in the freezer. haha Actually Baby Robbie has eaten some and he loves them just like everything else. :) It was easy, but I will probably just stick to buying the organic baby food currently, because I can get a good deal on them and it's easier. :P I have care packages to make now, so time is money!! haha Here are a few pics from that!








And also my sister Anna sang at Plant City's Bike night and here are some of the faves of that night!







I have been sewing my butt off getting my bags ready to open my etsy store... one day the baby grabbed a ribbon hanging from the table and pulled and down came everything including a bucket full of pins!!! He was covered in them and they were all over the floor. Thank goodness I was right there and I removed him from the area until I got them picked up. He wasn't hurt. He thought it was funny. I had to make a baby gate out of his toys to keep him away... hahaha See pic below






And here is a set of bags I made for my cousin...still trying to find a good way to take their picture...



Also I have been busy baking cookies and such for my next care package to send to Daddy Robbie! Baby Robbie likes to help and hang out in the kitchen...






Have had a little fun packaging them up and making labels as well. :P

Well that's all I got for now...Here's one more pic to last ya!

I love Keith Urban

This is a great song that always reminds me of MY Robbie.

"Without You"

I loved you since the very first day
When I caught you looking my way
I smiled and just knew it
And up until you came along
No one ever heard my song
Now it’s climbing with a bullet

It’s nice to have someone so honestly devoted
But when it’s said and done, girl I hope you know that

The traveling, the singing, it don't mean nothing without you
The fast cars, the guitars, they are all just second to this life
this love that you and I've been dreaming of for so long
Would all be as good as gone without you

Oh Without you yea yea

Along comes a baby girl
And suddenly my little world
Just got a whole lot bigger, yes it did
And people that I barely knew
They love me cause I’m part of you
Man it’s tough to figure

How two souls could be miles from one another
But still you and me somehow found each other

The traveling, the singing, it don't mean nothing without you
The fast cars, the guitars, they are all just second to this life
this love that you and I've been dreaming of for so long
Would all be as good as gone without you

Without you oh

Without you I’d survive
But I’d have to have the notion
That I could live this life
Just going through the motions

The traveling, the singing, it don't mean nothing without you
The fast cars, the guitars, they are all just second to this life
this love that you and I've been building up so high
It’s never gonna touch the sky without you

Without you
Without you baby baby baby without you
Without you

Just because

I thought it would be interesting...

INSTRUCTIONS ON GETTING THROUGH AIRPORT SECURITY WITH INFANT

1. Make sure that infant is secure in carseat
2. Pack all toys, blankets, pacifiers etc. in backpack.
3. Remove belt
4. Upon reaching steel tables, grab 3-4 bins and spread out in case more bins or space is needed.
5. Remove laptop from backpack and place in its own bin.
6. Place belt, milk, formula, anything you think they might be interested in (diaper rash cream) in bin.
7. Upon reaching carpeted area, remove shoes and place in bin with belt.
8. Ensure all pockets are empty and contents are in a bin.
9. Arriving towards the dark hole where all things must pass, remove the infants carseat from stroller (with infant in it) and place on floor.
10. Collapse stroller quickly, folding handlebars, and breaking down all extraneous pieces (baskets) that may enlarge this piece of equipment.
11. Ignore all human around you who are staring with interest, amazement, curiosity or annoyance.
12. Pretend to have extrahuman strength and hoist stroller up onto table to pass through scanning machine.
13. Your bins may or may not have already passed through, but passing stroller and carseat first is desirable so that you can retrieve and place baby down first.
14. After your stroller is crammed through, unlatch baby and ensure carseat handle is in the down position.
15. Pickup baby with one arm and carseat with other.
16. Cram carseat through scanning hole.
17. Cram YOUR bins through after carseat.

19. Once through metal detector, pull bins out, acknowledging security guy rummaging through one of your bags, testing diaper rash cream etc.
20. Get carseat, place baby in seat and try to strap in.
21. Get stroller next, open and place carseat in stroller.
22. Cram all your crap back in whatever bags you have.
23. Throw shoes on floor and slip on.
24. Give baby belt to chew on until you are past the hollering security guards as they push everyone to get your crap and get dressed over on the benches 10-15 feet away.
25. Breathe a sigh of relief. :)

ORGANIC! My new hobby.

"Organic food: Organic foods are foods that are produced using methods that do not involve modern synthetic inputs such as pesticides and chemical fertilizers, do not contain genetically modified organisms, and are not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents, or chemical food additives."

Yes I'm jumping on the bandwagon, and I thought I would document part of the journey. As a new mother, I have been reading all sorts of books, one in particular called SuperBaby! :) I skipped ahead to the toxic chapter, which in my opinion should be the first chapter! My thoughts on all this organic stuff....

Of course we all know their are toxins in our environment all around us everyday. But do we really know the extent of their existence? Or the damage they are actually doing? I have learned a lot just reading a few pages...and I feel that if there is anything I can do to make the health and well-being of my family even a tiny bit better, it is my job and my passion to do so. Now I know everyone is thinking..but it's sooo expensive...and well yes it is more pricey than ordering cheeseburgers from McDonalds every night. At this I think to myself, what luxuries I am living with...my iPhone, cable tv, internet, a nice car, the list goes on. And then I think, living Organically is also a luxury. In my opinion, one that could lead to a life, what I like to all-encompass as "cancer free". So unfortunately, it sounds like living in this world cancer free is a luxury...hmm...

I think I will invest in this luxury.

Ok well I hope that I will be able to shed some education on the subject in future posts. Thanks for reading!

Just call me Mrs. Simison!

It's final!! Robbie and I are now married! Our marriage date is August 26 which was last Thursday!! :) We are both so happy and joyful that this has finally happened. It is awesome and surreal. At this time we are planning on me having the baby here due to time constraints on getting everything taken care of. Robbie is excited to come home and see everyone. We are both excited to see each other and spend some time together. This 5 months has been/is torturous! The next few months are just going to fly by. The month of September will be spent preparing for Robbie and the baby and doctor appointments and what not. And then October it's all happening!!! Ahhh!! Where did the time go... I mean I know where it went... lots of hours watching tv, being bored, trying to find jobs, spending lots of awesome time with my family and best friends... that was the best part obviously. Well it's going to start happening. And it will be exciting to be here for the baby. We are excited about it.

Finally! Some great news.

From the marriage company today:

"Yes! This morning, we received Robert's marriage documents and your marriage file is going through preliminary processing. Moreover, your marriage file should be in the Montana system by tomorrow.

In the next couple of days, the Clerk of the Court will issue your marriage license, and, within 3 days of the Clerk's issuance of your marriage license, we will solemnize your marriage; and you will be married! Yay!

We look forward to bringing you the very good news of your marriage!"

Praise God!
