Lilypie 1st Birthday Ticker

Monday, December 29, 2008

The girls got a new pillow for Christmas... but Mickey hogs the whole thing.

Wes convinced me that the turtles needed something for Christmas too. It's a floating log. They really do love it, The turtle that you see here is named Toad & the other turtle that you can't see is named Bowzer.... yeah.


She's begging for food. She stands right outside of the kitchen and looks at me like she just doesn't understand why I won't give her something to eat.


Christmas presents from the grandparents... Mickey HATED the reindeer ears...

They wouldn't fit on Phoebe though, so I had to test them out. She'll grow to love them.


Wes' mom.

Wes' Dad, his brother Bruce, & Bruce's gf, Nikki.


My gramma sewed a shirt for me. This is it. So cute right? I know.

Tagged! Husbands edition:

Each Person answers questions about their sweethearts. At the End of the post, the person then tags people and posts their names

What is your husbands name? Frank Wesley Slovak
How long have you guys been married? 2 months… lol
How long did you date? 1 year
How old is he? 25
Who eats more sweets? Probably him, I get fat on bread and noodles!!
Who said I love you first? He did. I was so nervous about all of that kind of stuff but he knew what he wanted.
Who is taller? Wes
Who can sing the best? I think he sings so well, everyone thinks so.
Who is smarter? I think we’re probably equally smart about different things.
Who does the laundry? We both do. I don’t think he likes me doing his laundry, he thinks I do it wrong. Lol
Who pays the bills? When we get paid we talk about what bills we have and then I pay them.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Uh, if you’re laying on the bed, I’m on the right.
Who mows the lawn? He does… and sometimes he does it with his shirt off… SEXY!!!
Who cooks dinner? I usually do unless I’m just super tired.
Who drives? Wes drives.
Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Wrong? We are never wrong… neither of us has ever been wrong at any point in our relationship. Lol, jk. We’re both good at communicating so no one every has to SAY “I was wrong.”
Who kissed who first? Dang… this is embarrassing. I am pretty sure that I kissed him first. The thing is… I don’t remember it. It was the one time that I drank a WHOLE LOT. I’m talking, only time in my whole life. Well, Wes’ story is that I slammed him up against the wall and started making out with him… then I told him he needed to go home. I don’t remember it… and I’m not sure I believe him, and here’s why… I would NEVER be so rude as to tell someone they needed to leave my party!
Who asked who out first? Well, after our first kiss, he was hooked. I still think it’s unlikely that it happened that way… but it explains why he was completely in love after the first time he met me. I’m a great kisser. ;-)
Who wears the pants? Wes, for sure. Obviously we’re in it together but I like to think I know my role.
What is one of the best things that he does that you love? I love when he watches me when I’m not looking. I love when he tries to think of a spot that he hasn’t kissed yet. I love when he’s super sweet to the puppies. I love when he talks to the baby. I love when he does something because he knows it’s something I’ll love like… going to something artsy, or starting to watch LOST, or suffering through one of my favorite TV shows. I love when he says something that is not typical… like how his favorite actress is Jodie Foster, or how he doesn’t chew gum, or the way he always thinks of better ways to get things done. I love how he loves the Colts. I love how he’s so charismatic & everyone just loves him… seriously, who hates this man?! I know no one! & I love that he loves me SO much, that I could never doubt it.

I tag Jennifer Hovis

Autumn's Song

My mother, being the closet sentimental that she is, chose songs for all of her children while she was pregnant with us. Those songs stuck with us until... well, forever. Even now, when she hears them she gets all choked up. Well, mainly when she hears my brother's (Jesse's) song because it's all slow and sweet and she likes him more than she likes Geoffery or I. It's cool, we're ok with it because he'll get stuck with her when she's too old to drive. :-)
The way she kept these songs close to her heart throughout our entire lives has meant so much to each of us. She'd rock us to sleep with them, or just sing them to us randomly. I remember one time we were at a grocery store or something and she had to go to the bathroom, so to keep us occupied so that we wouldn't walk around looking at people under the stalls or something equally embarassing that children do in public bathrooms... she sang our songs to us. I used to cry when she sang Jesse's song to him & she'd tell me it was because I was sensetive and had a big heart. I've always been proud of those qualities in myself.
I digress... I've had a difficult time choosing a song for Autumn. There are parts of a million songs that apply to how I feel, or will feel about her. Choosing one is nearly impossible. Here are my top few, in no particular order:

1. Tim McGraw - My Little Girl
2. John Mayer - Daughters
3. Martina McBride - In My Daughters Eyes
4. Carrie Underwood - All-American Girl

So... I'm putting it to a vote. I'm not sure if anyone's vote will actually count for anything but... I'd like to know what anyone thinks about it. Also, if you have any other suggestions for songs, let me know... I'm still searching. I've put these songs on the player to the right so you can hear them too.

Belly Picture

I've been taking pictures on the 7th of every month in my Colt's jersey, but last night we got a picture of Autumn on the day we found out she was a girl. I was looking at Mickey sitting on the floor. I'm getting serious about teaching her not to jump up on people... can you tell? :)

Halloween


Our friends Jordan & Ashley's daughter Dakota. She'll be one year old when Autumn is born.
