Woe is Me!

Well I have decided I am not a fan of 2010. Well so far this year, the car fiasco, (which is now over thank goodness) and well many other fun things but yet again one more unfortunate incident... I will tell you in a minute! Oh besides that I turn 30 this year and that is just depressing to me. But anyways...

Because of the car accident, we had to replace our car seats. Did you know that. I can't remember if I have mentioned it on here yet, but did you know with any impact your car gets you have to replace the car seats. They are like bike helmets. You drop them on the ground they are not going to be as good of support if you wreck and need the head support. I think it's more so with motorcycle helmets. Well. Sami is just big enough to fit in a booster. It is a 30-100 pounds booster. I really hope she doesn't have to sit in it until she weighs 100 pounds... I didn't weigh 100 until I was in high school. It has a back that comes off in a few years, but here she is in her new seat. We are rather silly in our house a lot of the time... Sami has been wearing this hat a lot... it's her dad's new scout hat. Not a very good picture but this is of Sami in her new tutu that grandma Shirley made her. Grandma Shirley is selling girly*girly tutu's on the Ransom-made.com website. Check it out! Ok now for the unfortunate news. I was getting my exact o knife ready to use to cut some stuff out. I was putting the blade in the knife when the next thing I know the knife is sticking out of my hand and the blade is all the way in my hand. It was about a 1/2 inch in. A small slice not bigger than my pinky finger, fingernail. It was yesterday afternoon (Monday). I quickly called my mom to ask her if I needed to go to the doctor. Than I called Dave. He came home from work right away (an hour early). We got the girls ready and than took Sami to my mom's and than headed to KGH. We waited for an hour and it took a half hour for them to see me. They gave me a tetanus shot, in my upper arm (which is now incredibly sore) and than cleaned my hand thoroughly and put this nifty bandage on it. And told me not to get it wet for 24 hours. I was in a little bit of a shock, kinda felt like I was going to faint, or throw up. Dave took me to Burger King and got me food. I felt much better after that. My entire hand hurts. My knuckles are bruised, my pinky is bruised and the palm of my hand is very sore. I can't stretch my fingers out and grabbing things is very painful. Needless to say, i will not be using the exact o knife for sometime. When we got home from the doctor I decided to just relax and watch "Hope Floats" I've been on a Harry Connick Jr fix and Sandra Bulock so this sufficed. During the dancing scene where they dance to Garth Brooks song, "To Make you Feel my Love" I look over and Sami is dancing with Pooh, it was so cute... i had to snap a pic.

Ok I've told you about this fish but I had to show you so you can understand the enormity of it. This is Sami's new best friend Flounder. And she actually calls it Flounder. We got it at Value Village for $3.00 it was the best purchase I have ever made for her, she loves it. She lays on it, sleeps with it, it would go places with us if I would let it... when we leave she says bye to it, it is so cute. It is a good addition to our many toys.

I just realized that all these pictures basically have Sami in them... Daphne is doing great, i will post more of her later. She smiles, cries, sleeps, and gets frustrated with not being able to fit her entire hand in her mouth. She comes close though. She has started making kissing noises. We do it a lot in our house. That's me and Dave's thing. But now she has caught on and does it a lot too. She wants to sit up but can't quite do it. She can roll over from her stomach to back but not very often. She is enjoying teething tablets, and loves to smile and laugh. And she turned 4 mo this past Friday... wow how time flies... in 2 mo she will be 6 mo and eating solids... crazy how fast she is growing. Oh and she wants to crawl. If she figures out how to move her arms than she will be on her way, she's got the legs all figured out!

well enjoy and hope and pray for us that we will start having a better year!
