okay so today was a triumphant day for us in the bell household. olivia went peepee in the potty today, i have never been happier. she was so excited about it mainly i think because i was so excited. she didn't even want to put on a diaper to go to bed but i promised she could go potty in the morning. who knew that a little pee in a potty could be so delitful. HAPPY DAY!

Okay so once again time has slipped away and I haven't done a post for quite some time. I know that everyone says this but we really haven't had much of anything to post about. This last weekend we did go up to Eugene with my parents to see Kelly and Emilea Barfuss, we had lots of fun and wished we could have stayed longer. On Saturday Kelly to us to the Saturday market, it was so much fun, we got Livi the cutest tie-die shirt and I got this really cute homemade purse. I have never really spent that much time in Eugene, so Damon and I were quite amused by some of the people we saw and things we heard. Oh and we were actually in Eugene the day the Hillary Clinton was there, we didn't go see her, but we heard there was a huge line to go see her. Hope everyone is doing good out there, spring has finally started to show signs here in Lakeview, well kind of. Oh and here are some photos of Miss Livi, I can't believe she is going to be 2 in a month. Oh and this first picture she has my lipgloss all over her face, she is definetly my daughter.

Okay so be warned to all of my non kid friends out there, what i am about to share might be a little bit disturbing to you. It was disturbing to me to but pretty funny at the same time. So today I had put Olivia down for a nap, it wasn't her regular nap time so I wasn't really thinking she was going to sleep that long, I also just put her down in just her diaper, why, I don't know. Ten minutes later I hear talking to me just repeating the word mess, that was all she was saying was mess, mess, mess. Went to find out what the mess was thinking that her bottle had leaked, nope she had taken of her diaper and the was poop strewn over her blankets. Yes that is right poop, I know I was in total despair. Where do I begin, do I clean up the poop first or Livi. I cleaned up Livi and then started with the blankets. It wasn't that bad(as not bad poop can be), but just was not something I was expecting at all.

Silence...

Earlier today I was folding laundry not really paying attention to what Olivia was doing, she had just been in my room playing with my shoes, so I figured that was where she still was. Oh was I wrong. I went to go and check on her thinking to myself wow she is really quite, I see that she isn't in my room and then I see that the bathroom door is closed. First I kind of panic, afraid that she might have gotten into the mouthwash or toothpaste( I really didn't want to call the poison control). Luckily that wasn't the case but this is what I did come across.
As you can see she obvisouly got into something. What do you say it is, nothing but my mascara. I wasn't too upset with her because she just looked so darn cute, but I'm glad that was all she got into with my make-up. She did have some blush in her hand and I think some eyeshadow but she hadn't opened it up yet. PHEW!

jury duty...

okay so everyone gets called to jury duty and that sucks, but if you get called to federal jury duty three hours away from where you live that is even worse, hence what happened to me. over a month ago i got summoned for jury duty in lakeview, my first time being called as a juror so i wasn't to surprised. but what did get me was about a week later i got summoned to jury duty in medford which is about three hours away. at first i was confused why am i getting summoned to medford well it was for a federal case. today i had to be there, so last night my mom and i made the trek over to medford with livi in tow. i thought for sure i was going to get stuck over there for like three days but amazingly i wasn't even picked, how that happened no idea. all i know is that somehow i got lucky and was able to do some shopping with my mom. fun, fun.
