Ear Update: After A Month's Wait

Yesterday, I went to the doctor to see the progress on my ear.  In this instance I guess you could call it the lack of progress.  The doctor told me that my ear hasn't made too much progress and it looks as though it is done as much healing as it is going to.  This means that I can either leave it with a hole and be prone to ear infections or I could get it fixed though surgery.  I think that I am going to go with surgery.  It was a really hard decision let me tell ya (sarcasm for sure).  I am waiting to hear from my doctor's office to see how much my insurance was going to cover.  I need it done before getting pregnant again and before we go on a cruise in July.  Well wish me luck.

Arlee's 1st Birthday!!!

I can't believe it Arlee is ONE!  She has one tooth, going on two.  We were able to see her take her first steps today which ended up being seven consecutive.  Hooraay!!! She weighs 19lbs 8oz. and is 30 1/4 inches tall.  Her doctor told me that she will be tall and skinny if she keeps on the track that she is on during her one year check up.  Arlee got her six shots during that check up and hasn't really felt good since.  I took her in on Friday for her appointment and by Monday she had digestive issues.  I am telling you we are on day four of non stop laundry.  Luckily, we a great set of appliances to make everything back to normal again.  Thank goodness for those! 
Anyway, here are some pictures of her birthday parties:

Hans' Family's party on March 21, 2010:

Can life get any better when you can now see it coming?

We both agree that: IT CANNOT! 

Arlee's actual birthday March 25, 2010: Hans and I didn't want to make a cake for just her so we got her a cup cake of her very own!

Okay I admit I helped her get messy at first and then she got more into it.

She wanted to feed us instead of eat it.  Which was okay until she only gave you frosting. YUCK!

See Look! haha

Grandma's Treat to Fiddler On The Roof

My grandma decided that we were in need of a girl's night out.  She has always loved going to the plays at Hale Theater.  Fiddler on the Roof was coming to town and thought it would be a good idea to take all the granddaughters out for that.  We were of course missing some that live out of state, but it was a lot of fun.  Here are some pictures that I managed to capture of the night. 

My sisters Kali and Lyndsay and me.... my sister, Abbie was a couple people down from me. : (

This was the stage that everyone sits around.  I didn't really like to go to plays much before going to this theater.  It was great to be in a smaller place where the audiance sits around the stage.  You feel so much more into it I think.

The Fiddler, who happened to actually be a girl!

These last pictures were from the scene where the father agreed to a marriage of his first daughter.  There was a lot of energy in this dance as well as many others. 

All around I loved this play and would suggest it to anyone.  The main guy was hillarious!

Bright Colors Attract Little Babies

I have a hard time sometimes figuring out what to do with Arlee at times when I need to get something done and she wants attention.  These bowls that I have found at the house have been a life saver on many dinner making occasions.  Thank you to the Bright Color Bowl Makers!

She'll stack them, toss them, bite on them, flip them over and talk to them... What a little Cutie
