Babys-R-Us with Anela

75 % off Clearance items today! Makes for a great, cheap, shopping trip to pick out colorful summer clothes for Anela, my cousin's baby, who actually calls me "auntie." I love spending time with her, she is so little and precious, with such a huge personality! She is so carefree and just flows with whatever is going on. Her mom is the nicest person you'd ever meet, wait, nice or naive? So nice that she is naive! (No offense Adele - youre just too sweet.... and gullable) Anyways.

PJ must of known what going "baby shopping" would do to me. Cause he called me first thing this morning (its my day off and he's working overtime) and said "good morning love, don't let today bring you down." Whenever I spend time with children or do anything that involves B-A-B-Y in it.... I just think about the baby that we lost and what it would be like if we never did, and I just gloom around begging God to impregnate me for a few days.

I'm starting to really consider fertility options and am extremely curious of what our insurance would cover. Or if there are any "natural" ways to help get pregnant? Like, a special diet, or if any of those ovulating trackers really work?? I think while I have a few days off ( 5 days vacation to be exact ) that I will do some online research.... I'm going to be thirty next year.... I need to get pregnant. Not just because of age, but because I want this with every fiber of my being!!!!! <3 <3 <3

So... that was a bit off track... back on track. Baby's-R-Us today was holding a special sale. Walk in, get one of their reusable shopping bags from the courtesy desk and whatever you can fit in there from clearance, is an extra 30% off, which totals 75% off. It was Anela's special day - me, momma, and her nana picked her out some ADORABLE outfits. Ofcourse, mine were most colorful because I am just freaky and weird like that, but everything she got is absolutely gorgeous. Here are some pics.

And this concludes my shopping trip for the day, with Anela Jane Kerwood.

4th of July

We celebrated the 4th of July at our house. it started out at 10 am. We had hot dogs and cheeseburgers for lunch, potato salad, and pasta salad, that my sister in law Phylicia made to munch on through out the day. We ended up with roasted veggies that I made and grilled chicken for dinner, at which the propane ran out and we had to finish on the stove top! My mother in law and her husband showed up, aswell as my sister in law Jessica with her fiance (who shes marrying next month too) and their daughter Anayra. And also PJ's best friend and his family. It was a great day. We hung out on the porch, chugged wine coolers and beers, talked, laughed, reminisced, and then watched the fireworks at 10 pm. PJ had been drinking all day so was passed out by 8 pm but overall, it was the best holiday we have had in the last couple years <3
