Where does the time go?

I admit I don't update this as often as I should. I think I get lost in facebook, myspace, policewives.org, justmommies etc etc... Its amazing I have time for any of those!

Currently Catherine is obsessed with the fan. We have a standing fan in the family room and one in our bedroom. Every morning she must run out and show me the fan. She then says FFF FAN. I was trying to teach her how to say the F properly and now she thinks she needs to say that along with the word! :) She cracks me up!

At the moment I have a pitiful cranky toddler sleeping in my lap... I am not positive what the problem is but hopefully she is just having an off day. She is also obsessively saying the word shoe and bringing me her shoes. Our days go like this Fan, fan, fan, shoe, shoe, shoe, shoe, puppy, puppy, puppy, baby,baby, baby, thank you, thank you, thank you and a few other random words. Okay this needs to be a short one because its hard to type with a toddler in your lap!

busy but fun week

I truly enjoyed having my mum here to help me for a week. I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to actually sleep in for the first time in I don't even know how long. We had a wonderful time showing my mum where my husband works. She LOVES that city let me tell you! She just went on and on about the cute homes and how wonderful his chief is. I have to agree he truly has a great group of people that he works with. We also went to lunch and did some shopping. It was a nice day but by the end of the day I was ready for bed!! The rest of the time she was there we did a day of shopping just us girls, went to church, and had a wonderful day where we sat around and watched movies.

While my mum was here she was able to teach Catherine how to say thank you. Now every time she hands you something she says thank you! Catherine is so cute that I just melt! She has also started to "exercise" with me or Zac. When we are doing push ups she will do her version of push ups which is beyond hilarious. Sometimes its extremely hard to keep on exercising because I am laughing so hard! It also appears that she is going through another growth spurt but is just getting taller and not chubbier. I have started feeding her more oatmeal and cheese in order to keep up!

We had to miss out on the fireworks this year because Zac had to work. I am not that worried about it since Catherine was in bed, cozy, and asleep before it was even dark. I don't think she would have been that happy with fireworks this year. Next year I wouldn't miss it for the world!! Well it is getting late so I am going to sign off!
