Last week, Grant's family all flew into town to meet Monet. Here we are at the Cheesecake Factory, eating lunch outside. She's happy to not have any pants on. Sunday we blessed Monet at our house.
It was such a sweet day. Monet was a little angel. She didn't fuss for one minute.

I think Grant is beyond in love.

Ezra, Monet & Grant. (She likes to have her hands by her face, as you can see.)

Me and my little brother Wyatt.

Grant's family (Ganon & Jennie why aren't you in this?)

My dad, Chloe, me and my mom.

My brother Riley & Monet.

Later in the afternoon we decided to introduce Monet to the golf course.

She loved the bumpy cart. In fact we ended up just driving around the course.

She looks like she feels right at home!

We had a great Fathers Day. We ate breakfast at Parc Cafe. Picked Grant's parents up from the airport. Ate at Normandie Cafe. Came back to our house and let Grants parents snuggle Monet for hours.
Grant's first Father's Day.

My mom and Wyatt

We opened gifts at the park. Hooray for sun.

BELLE CLOTHING - SHIRT ORDER...

I'VE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE ASK ME ABOUT BELLE CLOTHING SHIRTS, AND IF I HAVE ANY LEFT...WHICH I DON'T. SO, I EMAILED OUR MANUFACTURER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD LET ME PLACE AN ORDER. USUALLY THE MINIMUM ORDERS ARE EXTREMELY HIGH, BUT BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMY AND SINCE THEY STILL HOUSE MOST OF OUR FABRIC, THEY SAID THEY WOULD LET ME PLACE AN ORDER.

THE CATCH IS THAT HAVE TO ORDER 240 OF EACH STYLE. THIS CAN BE DIVIDED INTO DIFFERENT COLORS AND SIZES.

SO BASICALLY IF YOU LOVE THE TEE'S AND LIKE A LOT OF YOU HAVE TOLD ME, CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT THEM... NOW IS THE TIME TO STOCK UP. I PROBABLY WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE ANOTHER ORDER, SO ORDER ENOUGH FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS (just kidding...kind of).

AND PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD. ANYONE CAN ORDER. IF YOU KNOW ME, IF YOU DON'T KNOW ME... IT DOESN'T MATTER.

AS FAR AS PRICING, YOU WILL PAY THE COST OF THE SHIRT PLUS TAX AND SHIPPING. THERE WILL BE NO MARK UP, I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE ANY MONEY OFF OF THIS. - ONCE I GET ENOUGH FOR THE ORDER I'LL BE ABLE TO FIND THE TOTAL AMOUNT FOR SHIPPING - I WILL DIVIDE IT EVENLY BETWEEN ALL OF THE ORDERS. (for example if 20 people order shirts and the total for shipping is $100.00 I would add $5.00 total for shipping). SAME GOES WITH THE TAX.

YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO RETURN SO MAKE SURE WHAT YOU ORDER IS WHAT YOU WANT. IF YOU HAVE NEVER WORN THE SHIRTS, FIND A FRIEND TO LET YOU TRY THEIRS ON BECAUSE I WON'T BE ABLE TO EXCHANGE EITHER.

HERE ARE THE STYLES AVAILABLE:

____________________________________________________________________________________

UNDER TEE (this is the one comparable to the "Shade Shirt". Fitted / Cap sleeve).

COLORS: light pink, brown,green,black, cream ,grey,white

I've decided I'm going to start domesticating myself (now that I am back amongst the living). I was going to start with cooking but I've changed my mind... I'd rather take up sewing. I found this picture of this lamp... maybe one day I'll be able to recreate it. I love love love this piece. Maybe I'll start with something a little more simple, like these cute paper flowers.

Off the subject, but I really wish we had an H&M. These little girl shoes for $10.00 - too cute.

I would die to be going to the beach right now. Laying in the sun, relaxing, listening to the water... sounds like a dream. However I wonder if I'll ever be able to wear a swim suit again... maybe that's why my longing for swimming is so intense right now.
The swimming suits on Crew Cuts.com are so cute right now, I'm actually contemplating buying this one and saving it until she's two... sounds kind of crazy... but seriously they're that cute.

By the way, did you know at www.myjones.com you can customize your own soda pop bottle, picture, text and all. What a great party idea.

...

Side note, Monet slept from 11:00pm until 5:50am, I'm feeling oddly refreshed! What a baby!

6.10.09

At the hospital, visiting new cousin, Jack.

These two like to snuggle.

6.07.09

Talked to a lactation specialist. She really helped. Feeling lots better. Nursing it out. Getting back to normal. Thanks for the advice.

HELP...

This is getting ridiculous. I was just starting to feel better and now I have that stupid mastitis. I got on an antibiotic last night but the Dr said it's going to make the baby colicky, so now I'm wondering if I should just put her on formula while I'm on the medication for a week.

...

Does anyone have any advice or experience with this?

...

(you know what's funny, just two days ago I said to myself, "At least I haven't had any problems nursing, that's been the easiest part." I guess I kind of shot myself in the foot with that one).

...

I swear one of these days this blog wont be about every single ailment I have.

Somebody is already a month old...
...
After all of that nursery talk I forgot to post pictures of the final project

Well, I am alive. Something I wasn't so sure about the beginning of the week. But slowly, day by day I feel a little better. I'm better off than I was a week ago laying in that hospital bed. I just hope now the worst is behind me and I can start to feel like myself again... someday.

...

Here are a few pictures of our birthday (Chloe and I have the same birthday, May 24th) last Sunday. Chloe looks spunky and cute in her birthday dress, I on the other hand feel horrible and am wearing leggings and a sweater, ready to check into the hospital a few hours later. This is about the only picture of the two of us. (Don't let the smile fool you, I barely had the energy to lift her at this point.)

Monet had about three sleepovers at Nana's house, so everyone had plenty of time to hold her.

This picture was two day's ago. My parent's house is the only place I really dare to go. I'm still nauseous and sick so public outings are not in the near future.

...

Monet has just discovered her hands. It's the cutest thing. She's sucking on them and looking at them like they're the neatest thing in the whole world.
