In the Interest of Science & Morning Sickness Flashbacks

Let me start by saying I had HORRIBLE morning sickness; or as I like to call it the flu for first 6 months of the pregnancy.  There was a smell in our Zimmerman kitchen that drove me to the sink, toilet, or even the deck just over the railing...if you know what I mean. During my pregnancy with Ticiana I steared clear of the kitchen. Nathan never seemed to smell it but pregnant women have the nose of a blood hound and we could sniff out an armpit missing deoderant 5 miles away so DON'T TELL ME it was all in my head!!!!!!

 Excuse me. I am getting all worked up over things past. Anyway I blame my current circumstance, for me getting all worked up again, because somehow and someway that same smell found me here... just 4 years later. This smell has driven me to cleaning and disinfecting EVERYTHING and now I have requested the big guns; that's right Nathan is going to be bringing home the sander so I can sand down the butcher block and re-seal it. The smell has got to go because I am having severe morning sickness flashbacks and I can't go back there I just can't Can't...CAN'T!!!!!!!

Moving along...it was time to build a fort!

Now, a few weeks ago, I posted on Facebook that I had an unhappy chance meeting of a little frog, in my bathroom. Well, that frog was never found, but this frog was hiding under our umbrella.

The question still remains: Is this the offending frog or are there others?

Comment of the day by Daivia Towell: "Is that a poopy diaper?"

Me: "Yes."

Daivia: "Oh! Well, I don't want to eat it because it tastes yucky."

Me: "Lord help me."

As my mom would say "How cheery!"

Now you may not be prepared for what you are about to read so...PREPARE YOURSELF!!!

I have always wanted to see a spider capture its prey and today I got my wish! I heard an unusual sound of wings buzzing rapidly and I quickly got up to investigate the noise only to discover a fly was caught not by a web but by the spider himself. And in the interest of science I ran and grabbed my camera to capture this moment I have waited so long to see!

WARNING: Material may be too graphic for those under a specific age.

 

I am sorry that the picture's are not very bright. Notice in the bottom picture that the spider had killed the fly and is dragging it back to it's lair. 

As fascinating as this was to finally see; I have a moral objection to any known spider staying alive in my house. 

So I killed it! BOOYA!!!!

I Am Not Scared of Thunder Storms...Really...

Comment of the Day by Daivia Towell:   "I hurt my leg I can't walk on it."

Myself:   "Uhhhh...you are walking on it right now..."

We are listening to the girls first official Thunder Storm and I am impressed with how well they are doing because it sounds intimidating to me! But don't worry I am putting on a brave face for the girls!

A little bit of hail...

 

Ticiana

This is bugaboo and she is now sitting up all by herself! Sometimes with a whole lot of concentration...

...and sometimes it's just fun!

Look at those beautiful eyes and those apple cheeks!

Bugaboo!

Dai Dai loves to give hugs we are really working on her hugs to be gentle!

I thought that my croc's would like an all natural rinse!

In the midst of the craziness i will strive to be a better blogger!

would like to take some time to thank Auntie Kaitlin and Uncle Dan for the necklace beading gift from Christmas! She was able to put it together all by herself and this is the resulting product!

Vistors are the BEST!

                                                      Look who came to visit!!!!

                                                       It's my nephew Tenn!!!! (and his mom).

Going to Vacation Bible School!

First time drinking out of a water fountain!

Tici... warming up to VBS...

Whereas, Tenn needed no help warming up he LOVED it!

Dai chilling with the dog!

Tenn thought about petting the bunny but no go.

Wow auntie is so cool she even touches the dog.

(For all who are wondering. I don't like to pet dogs mostly because I know that I will have to wash my hands after and I seriously wash them enough. So the desire to pet/touch the dog or any animal dies quickly with the thought of having to go and find a sink to wash my hands. And this is not an OCD thing this is a preference thing...i think...)

Tici's first time playing Freeze Tag!!!

She was so much fun to watch!!!

And it was adorable because even is she made it to the "safe zone" she would still fall because she was having so much fun and had a ton of momentum from running as fast as her little legs could take her!

My poor babe was sleepy...

The Stars...There just like US!

Name that magazine!

And yes she is 5 months prego with my baby niece!!!

We love having visitors!

They are the best!

 I hope that next time we get to see them we will get to visit their NEW HOUSE!!!

By the way we missed Uncle Dan!!
