Update

1. Phew...the rodeo is finally over.
2. Lilly is such a content baby. She likes to be held, but she also loves to just lay on the floor (on her back of course -- tummy time is too much work).
3. I've been contmeplating cutting Lilly's troll hair, but I just can't bring myself to do it. For some reason I'm kind of attached.
4. Lilly can grab her toes and it's so cute!
5. Gub's knee scope went great except for the huge rash he got on the back of his knee. He obviously had a reaction, but we're not quite sure what it was to.
6. Gub has become quite the smoker (meat smoker, that is). I bought him a smoker for Father's Day and it's quickly become the most used/liked present I've ever given him. His hickory brown sugar ribs with homemade bbq sauce are my favorite.
7. I honestly have the best family ever! There is no way I could pull off the rodeo funraiser without all the help from my family. Thank you!
8. Madison saw Justin Bieber in concert this weekend in Las Vegas. She definitely has Bieber fever!
9. Lilly rolled over from her back to her tummy this week.
10. Olivia walked into my house this week and said, "Wendi, your house a mess." Gotta love their honesty.

The Latest

I've decided that I need to do better at updating my blog. Not because anyone else cares about my ordinary life (not that there's anything wrong with ordinary. In fact, I'm perfectly happy with ordinary), but because time seems to moving way too fast and it scares me. Because it's the writing that I detest, I'm taking a cue from some of my blogging friends (thanks Whitney and others) and making it a goal to at least jot down a quick list of what's going on in my life. A run-down, so to speak, of the latest happenings, even if they are boring and ordinary. Hopefully I can keep it up!

1. I love, love, love being a mom.
2. Lilly is officially giggling and reaching for things.
3. Gub is having his knee scoped on Monday.
4. Preparing for the big Rodeo fundraiser next week.
5. I think I lost a nursing pad at the grocery store today. Oops. Is that what those sticky things are for?
6. It's barely noon and I've already had two cans of Diet Pepsi.
7. Wishing I were better at finishing projects.
8. Finally going to check out the cake store on Main Street today.
9. Lilly is waking up three times a night again and it's killing me! No amount of sleep makes up for getting up every 2-3 hours. She had been sleeping the entire night or waking just once so it must be a growth spurt or something. I hope she gets back into the groove.
10. So excited my bff is in town.
11. I've tried several times, with no success, to give Lilly a bottle. I knew I should have started earlier but life just got in the way. I'm really worried about what will happen when I go back to work. Meagan promises that she won't tell me how bad she cries on that first day.
