Eight Months

Harper turned eight months this week.  She is really developing her own little personality and lets all of us know what she wants.

Here she is with her bear.  I remember when they were the same size.

She got a new car seat to ride in when she is in Daddy’s car.  It is just too big for Mommy’s car.  She still has to ride rear facing but she can turn forward facing when she is 1.  She loves the seat it seems to be much more comfortable then the little one.

Her first teeth came in two weeks ago and she is ready to get the two top ones soon. 

Harpy loves to play with her cousins, cruise around the living room and eat her baby food.

Excel

Dear fellow Marriott associates:

When I have to scroll to collumn DH to view information in an Excel Spreadsheet your spread is too big and has way too much information on it. Clearly someone much smarter them me created this worksheet and I have a great amount of respect for them and their brainpower. However my hand hurts form all the maneuvering I have to do in this thing and I may be developing carpal tunnel.

Thank you for listening.

Food Porn

I have a friend on facebook who is always posting what she is cooking that day. I swear this girl should be in some kind of advertising because she could make dog crap sound like something I would want to eat. She is always cooking organic this and that, picking fresh berries from her backyard to make pancakes, or whipping up some nutella cream cheese brownies. Who does that? If I make brownies they come from a box and have the name Betty Croker attached to them. My pancakes are the kind that the directions are to "just add water", and the only thing that grows in my back yard are weeds and grass. So this chick amazes me. In fact a few of the CR ladies and I have started to refer to her post as "food porn". Here are a few examples of her posts.....

"C" has balsamic-brown butter glazed broccolini & buttered pasta cooking in the stove and a sinfully good cake in the oven while the husband smokes chicken outside.....time to pour some wine

"c" is making balsamic glazed chicken breasts, roasted tomato-basil-fresh mozzerella pasta, and a fresh peach-blueberry tart.......guess I should figure out a veggie too......candied carrots?

"C" has tequila lime fajitas going on the grill and mango coladas going on the blender! Happy 4th everyone

See what I mean. Maybe I should start posting my meals and see if they get the same reaction.

Breakfast today would read like this:

Tracy Miazga is.... Having a plain toasted English muffin, that I toasted for too long so it is just slightly burned with 3 squirts of I can't believe it's not butter and 4 cups of coffee.

Lunch:

Tracy Miagza just went to Subway and had a 6 inch Ham on wheat with all the veggies and mustard.

Just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Thanks "C" for all the food porn. I wish I could cook like you.

Stalker

It's official I am a stalker. I have become obssesed with reading the blogs of two people that I don't even know. I check them everyday for updates and I feel like I know these two famalies. I found thier blogs through mutual friends and I love reading about thier lives. I know I'm crazy. I have even been pondering the idea of reaching out to one of the bloogers to let them know how much I enjoy reading thier blog but I think that may just be CREEPY.

I wonder if anyone stalks my blog? I doubt it.... I'm not a very intresting person.

Good night from your local crazy blog stalker.

Peaches

Our neighbor has a peach tree that has gone nuts this summer and my Mom feels like she is personally responsible for putting each and every peach off that tree to use.  She has been on a peach cobbler making mission this weekend and I have to say my house smells divine.  Yesterday she made 4 yes FOUR full size cobblers and had enough peaches to make at least 10 more.  She also made peach jam last week (12 jars).  Next on the list Homemade Peach Ice Cream.  I think we should start taking orders and delivering them to our CR Friends.

The best part of it all is this brings back such dear memories form my childhood. We had a ton of peach tress in my Nana’s backyard and every summer she would  make cobblers, pies, ice cream, jam, and can the peaches.  I hope to one day teach Harper how to do all of this so I guess I need to start taking notes.

Please feel free to place your peach order in the comments section.

A Whole Lot of Nothing

I have not been on the “Blogging Band Wagon” much because to be honest there just isn't to much going on in my life right now.  Here is a little run down:

Harper is a Maniac.  The sweet little girl is crawling everywhere.  She crawls until she finds a place where she can pull up and then uses the furniture to “cruise” around the house.  She plays all day until she is exhausted.  Sweet little thing will wear you out.  I Love her more then anything in the world and everyday with her is a ton of fun.

My Mom is fabulous. She and Harper are such a cute little team.  I learned over the weekend that they have a very strict schedule during the week. My Mom was gone for 2 days last weekend and by Sunday morning I was sending her text messages from Harper telling her that we demand that she come home immediately. I’m so blessed to have her and realized how much I rely on her.  Thank you Mom for all you do to make Motherhood so much easier.

New rule at our house is that Nanny can not be gone for more then 24-hours.  Not sure if this rule was created by Harper or me, but I tell everyone it’s Harper’s rule.

Chris is working like a crazy man all the time.  Although it would be great if is company were selling more pools.  We need the loan market to open up more for  this happen. 

My job is very busy right now since I’m short two Sales Managers.  Hopefully I will find the right candidate this week and get some people hired.   I ‘m back in my Summer Bible Study this year and it is something I Iook  forward to each week.  Such an amazing group of ladies to enjoy each week.  I have been spending time with friends and enjoying a night out occasionally.

We are trying to plan a trip to Colorado in September to see our family and catch CU vs CSU game in Denver over Labor Day weekend.  Then try to head to Vail for a few days.  I hope we work it out as Vail is one of my favorite  places.

See pretty boring around here and I’m just fine with that.

Brings tears to my eyes

I know this may bore many of you but I just got it today and I think it is AMAZING. It made me cry the first time I watch because Maggie did a great job at capturing Harpy's personality.

Thanks Maggie!
