I need a little help

What do you feed a VERY picky 16 month old?

This Is What We Woke Up To.

This one is before bath and nap. She could barely open her eye this morning when she woke up. This one is after her bath.
Right now she is kind of looking like Quazimoto. I feel so bad for her, but we got some anitbiotic eye drops and regular drops so I'm hoping it is looking better tomorrow. She is not going to be able to go to dance and possibly not KidsPlex. (My SIL and I are going to make it a Friday Fun Day)

*And a side note I fell down the stairs again today. This is about the 4th or 5th time. My foot is killing me.

A VERY Happy Valentine's Day To You...Late

We had such an awesome Valentine's Day. I started the day quite early. For some reason I woke up at 7:20 AM!! Not normal for me at all. I snuck out of the house and went to Walmart to grab a Valentine Day's surprise for my family. Kevin and I decided that we weren't going to do anything too big this year because we did last year and we want a big anniversary. But I still got him a card and I found a couple of cheap Valentine Bears for the kids and balloons. We had a breakfast of heart shaped Donuts. Then Kevin announced he didn't want to sit home all day so he took all of us to Grand Junction and we made it a family fun day. We went to a place called KidsPlex. It is a GIGANTIC Mcdonald's PlayPlace. They even let the parents in to play with the kids. Dominik loved it. He is getting pretty good at. Cheltzi of course is a pro. She loves it and was soo excited that daddy went with us this time.

For some reason I can't upload videos but I will as soon as Blogger will let me. I didn't get any pictures while we were up in the toy because I didn't want my camera to break but we had a blast.

After KidsPlex we went to the mall and I got Cheltzi some new earrings because her old ones got lost. I was a little sad because she has had them she got her ears pierced, but I think it was time anyways. She was 11 months old when she got them. She hadn't had earrings in her ears for a couple of weeks so it hurt to put them in. She was so brave and didn't even cry one tear. I got a yummy chocolate and caramel covered marshmellow from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Who ever invented them should be sainted. MMMMM!

After my delightful little treat we went to Paul Blart: Mall Cop. It was very funny and I did enjoy it. Until Cheltzi said she had to go potty then ended up not even having to go. I was a little irritated, but what can you do when your kid tells you they need to go potty right?

Total Randomness... 25 things actually!

1. I was on the high school swim team. I was not very good, but I loved the social part of it.
2. I have not worked since February 2005. Before that job I hadn't worked since July 2004. I only worked at the last job for 3 or 4 weeks.
3. I shaved my head in 2003 when my cousin Ted was diagnosed with Luekemia.
4. As a result of shaving my head I met my husband's brother and dated him for a while.
5. I tried to get Kevin and his ex- girlfriend back together after a huge misunderstanding that had nothing to do with me. I was sad that he wanted to get back together with her, but I didn't want him to know that I like him A LOT so I tried to get them back together.
6. I wash my hands with bar soap A LOT in the shower. I wash them as soon as I get in and after everytime I touch my hair, face, etc... (I may be a bit OCD)
7. My favorite place to kiss Kevin is the puffy part of his face just under his eye.
8. My favorite place to kiss Cheltzi is the bridge of her nose. I have been doing this since the first time I kissed her.
9. My favorite place to kiss Dominik is the palm of his squishy little hand
10. I absolutely LOVE going to church. I get so excited every week. I love that my testimony grows every week I go to church. I love my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ so much.
11. I used to HATE everything about church.
12. I am a huge momma's girl. I was having a really hard time when I was delivering Dominik and all I wanted was my mommy. They never let her come in. I made Kevin feel bad and I feel really bad. But I am so glad that he was there with me.
13. When I was 15 or 16 my Gyno wanted to take out my ovaries. He said I would NEVER have children. Luckily my mom wouldn't let him. I had no idea until just a couple of years ago.
14. Because I didn't think I could get pregnant and I lost my job and didn't have insurance anymore I was not taking birth control when Kevin and I got married. Which resulted in Cheltzi.
15. To this day I swear I had Cheltzi early because the day my mom and I went to get Kevin from the airport the tires on my car almost fell off and we were stranded on the freeway. Luckily a cute young man stopped and took us to a shop to get the problem fixed. It was the stress I'm telling you. That was 5 days before my water broke.
16. I have wanted a Cheltzi baby since I was 3. If Cade would have been a girl his name would have been Cheltzi (or however my mom and dad would have spelled it.) I now have my own Cheltzi baby and my little brother (Cade/C.J.) married a Chelsie.
17. March 17th is our (my) favorite day of the year. We (I) love St. Patrick's day and it is the day we were sealed for time and all eternity.
18. I would rather scrub a toilet than clean the kitchen. I strongly dislike the kitchen and everything to do with it.
19. When we prayed about having another baby we asked Heavenly Father that if it was the right thing that we would get pregnant right away. That was in January 2007. We got the positive pregnancy test on Feb. 25 2007. We thought we were testing the day I should have started, but after counting again I was 3 days late.
20. The day we found out I was pregnant with Dominik my SIL called and asked if we could move back to Texas to help her with her boys because her husband was being d*ploy*d again. We told her no.
21. My SIL and I don't get a long very well when I'm pregnant. But we still love each other and have a great time when we are together.
22. I love mountain biking. I haven't done it in a VERY long time, but I love it. The last time I rode my bike I was barely pregnant with Dominik. Yes, I got in A LOT of trouble. From Kevin and my mommy. My dad was cheering me on!
23. I hate using the toilet. I think it's a waist of time. I don't understand how people can sit on it for long periods of time. My mom laughs at me everytime I go because I'm in and out quick. Most of the time it takes me longer to wash my hands than it does to pee.
24. When I was about 18 months old I had a hernia on my belly button. When I watched my older brother go potty I tried to stand up and pee using my belly button and peed down my legs.
25. I love drawing blood and poking people with needles. I stayed in Utah after Kevin got his new job so I could learn how to do this. I am now a certified vampire!

(26. I have a REALLY hard time getting to sleep at night even with taking a sleep aid. As i am getting ready to post this it is 1:50)

Pay it forward

I still need two people for my Pay It Forward. See here for details. I am so excited to do this and I already have a project picked out. I just need more people. (Becky, even though you don't blog I'm still making you something. Can you e-mail me your address from the family website?)

Memories

I was looking through boxes trying to find my birth certificate. I never found it. I am hoping my mom has it. It is time to get a Colorado license. UGH! Anyways I found a note and a couple of pictures that were taken in February 1996. I was 13. I have horribly big hair. It was the first time that I ever visited the Utah State Capital. I met with a state senator. It was pretty cool to sit in on some of the sessions. I was with my Aunt Corey. I have been thinking about her a lot lately. I wish that I could have been able to know the fun side of her again. The side of her that I new in 1996. She was the fun aunt. I was always at her house. I miss that. I miss her. I really wish that I could have been able to know her like that again. I don't like having these new memories. I have been missing her a lot these past few days and when I found those pictures I smiled. It brought back the good memories of her. The big hair is on the "bad" memory list. If I can find a way to get the pictures scanned and put onto a C.D. I will post them.

"This is so going in my blog"

I was taking pictures in the kitchen and Kevin asked me what I was doing. My reply, "This is so going in my blog!" ( I YB*rney)

I do need some advice though. Part of them were doughy. Does anyone have a suggestion for me on what to do so they look good on the outside and are totally done on the inside?
