Since my sisters Spring Break started today, they decided they wanted to come come spend Thursday night and Friday night with us. Great, I thought. I got a babysitter.

So I met two of my girlfriends for dinner and a movie. We ate at Mongos. So good. I hadn't been there in awhile and I forgot how delicious it really was. I'm craving it right now as I'm typing.

We ended up seeing Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

 I'm not a fan of fishing, but I loved it. It's a very touching story and I cried at the end.

I wasn't feeling the best on Saturday, so having my sisters there helping with Hailey was great. I did get to sleep in on and off until 11:30 am and then we pretty much just hung out all day. With my sisters there I had made big plans to clean, go tanning, go get my nails done, go to Target, go to the Post Office, but I basically got 2 loads of laundry done, and that was about it. Kind of a waste of a day. I ended up going to bed early because I did not want to feel gross on Sunday, too.

Today was WRESTLEMANIA day.

It's basically the Superbowl for professional wrestling and a holiday in my house. My Husband has loved wrestling forever and does a local wrestling radio show. We had invited people over and had a full house for most of the day. The big match of the night was the "Once in a Lifetime" match with John Cena versus The Rock. I'm not going to explain anything further because if you don't like wrestling, you won't care and if you do like wrestling you already know what happened. So we'll just leave it at that.

MGK performed his song "Invincible." Although the actual song features Ester Dean as the female voice, Skylar Grey was there instead. I really like the song. It was John Cena's theme song.



Flo Rida also performed. That was pretty cool.

I love this song: Flo Rida feat Sia - "Wild Ones"

Can you tell music rules my world? Overall it was a great weekend! How was yours?

30 Days of Me {Days 1 & 2}

30 Days of Me {Days 1 & 2}

So I got this idea from Kellie to do 30 Days of Me. I saw it awhile back on her blog, but thought April would be a great month to do it since it's my birthday month. So here we go.I will be trying to do these each day, so I might be posting up to 2+ blogs per day this month.

Day 1: A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

1. I pretty much love all boy bands. This is my current crush boy band...The Wanted. Love them. They came to the KDWB Skyroom on Friday and Hailey and I got to meet them.

2. I never had a pet up until 2006 and it changed my life forever. Now I have 4 dogs and wouldn’t change anything. I talk to them as though they are human and I believe they understand what I am saying to them. I don’t believe in “outside” dogs. I think that’s stupid and it makes me angry.I can't ever imagine my life without a dog now and my daughter will grow up with at least one.

Go read for all info on my pups.

3. I have a fear of worms and hate walking outside when it rains. My least favorite season is spring for that reason. I also don’t like big bodies of water and have a fear of drowning.

4. I don’t like talking on the phone. I rather text or email. I also screen my calls.

5. I don’t go anywhere without a sweatshirt/jacket and chapstick.

6. I love the smell of meat markets, gas and big permanent marker.

7. I broke both my wrists in 3rd grade.I was running down the steps and fell face forward and braced myself with my arms.

8. I want to get a tattoo and have known what I want for a long time, I just don’t know where I want it.

9. I like to read teen novels. I can't help it. In my defense I have a 14 year old sister that loves to read and she gets me hooked on different books/series.

10. If I am around people that are crying or am even watching tv or a movie where they are crying I will usually cry, too.

11. Sometimes I get motion sickness when I ride in the backseat of a vehicle. Especially a van.

12. I hate making the bed and usually don't unless people are coming over.

13. I love kids cartoons.

14. My mom is my best friend, other than my Husband. I tell her pretty much everything.

15. I don't like corn. I know. People think I'm nutty. I even grew up in the midwest, too. I will have corn on the cob in the summer a couple times, but I usually stay away from it.

Day 2: The meaning behind your blog name

My Some Kind of Wonderful is the name of my blog. I think it's pretty self-explanatory. This blog and where I share my life is My Some Kind of Wonderful.It may not be perfect, but it's perfect for me and it's mine.

My web address is www.mrsmamad.com

I recently changed it. I had been thinking about it for awhile and since my twitter has been MrsMamaD, I thought why not have my blog address be that as well. So I bought the web address for it and here we are.

It's me...A Mrs = married AND A Mama = being a Mom. The D is just the first letter of our last name.

Now go find me on twitter and lets be friends!!

This is you at 9 months old:

You are eating all sorts of "real" food, now and trying lots of things off of Mommy and Daddy's plates.

You love noodles.

You love these:

And these:

Mommy loves these, too, because they dissolve easily and teach you how to chew and swallow without choking.

You still eat a fruit combo in the morning (with Oatmeal) and a vegetable/protein combo at night (with Rice cereal).

You usually have a yogurt as a snack after you wake up from your nap.

You are now eating about 6 oz of milk for daytime feedings and before bed.

You usually take at least one good nap a day.

You are so happy when we come to get you in the morning or after nap time.

Your smile makes our hearts burst!!

You are still going to bed by about 9pm and sleeping until about 8am...on average. Sometimes you have an off night, but who doesn't.

You cried when we got your ears pierced, but not for long. You don't play with them or pull on them at all.

You are still so vocal and are talking and screaming all the time.

You still put everything in your mouth.

You have really started showing us your personality and react to us taking things away from you or saying No.

You love to try and get our keys and the TV remotes.

You are still drooling, but I feel not as much. It may be just because I am so used to it. Who knows.

You still go through about 3-4 bibs a day.

You are crawling!!

You are always moving and don't sit still anymore.

You are getting into crazy places now that you can move and crawl.

 You are also pulling yourself up on things.

You have started to really walk along things and from thing to thing.

You still love your jumperoo, but lately you prefer being on the outside of it, instead of the inside.

You don't like being restricted and not able to move. Go figure.

You love to try and walk with your musical walker.

 

You still have deep, gray eyes.

Your hair is still growing and Mommy had to give you another bang trim.

You are growing right on track, but are still our peanut.

You are wearing mostly 6-9 month, but some 12 month clothing and pajamas.

You love your puppies and think they are so hilarious!

Your giggle is the best thing in this entire world.

You are wearing size three diapers.

You have your two bottom middle teeth and now you have your two top middle teeth.

You love to make funny faces.

You still don't care for your nuk at all. I can't even remember the last time you had it.

You love when we hold your hands and you stand up.

You immediately start walking when we do this.

You still LOVE bath time and like to kick your feet and splash. You are still in the infant tub, but we will probably try it without soon. Mommy still gets nervous, so we will see.

You are so alert and people comment on it frequently.

You love cuddle time in the mornings with Daddy while watching cartoons.

You are just the best thing that has ever happened to us and we love you more and more everyday.

We love you so much!
