happy easter!

*notice the strategic placement of Hailey Joe. (insert evil laugh.)

Sister 'Queer' is blossoming.

I bet you expected some cute Easter pictures, didn't you?

Not tonight. Too tired. But soon...

Just had to share that today Sister 'Queer' --said 2, maybe 3 times! ... over the pulpit...!!!-- was released from her calling as Nursery leader. hmmmm... wonder why they are releasing Sister QUEER!!! my face was not red; it was purple. are you KIDDING ME?

also, as I left church, I was told (by a well-meaning lady, I am sure) that "Boy, you sure are blossoming!!!" again... are you KIDDING ME? I didn't even know what to say to that. thanks? are you serious? WHAT DID YOU SAY?????

interesting day with the church folks.

hope you had a GREAT Easter... the Queers sure did.

those carrots.

look kind of good. don't they?

just had to record Hai's cute verbology this morning.

in explaining to her that Andrew would be watching her while I was at the dr. she exclaimed "YOU ARE GOING TO TOSS ME OFF TO DADDY???"

sure am :)

milestone.

tonight, for the first time EVER (and I really am being serious) Ty ate and swallowed a carrot. ok -- half a baby carrot. He is 7 years old.

The sad truth: this is the first vegetable that he has EVER swallowed (besides baby food.) Yep. Now before you judge me (you already did, DIDN'T YOU?!?!) please know that it has not been for lack of effort on our part or his. As many times as we have tried and tried and tried (and tried and tried and tried -- you get the point) -- he simply can't swallow them (fresh fruits either.) he gags and pukes. so you can imagine my absolute DELIGHT when he took a big bite out of the carrot -- chewed chewed chewed and INSTEAD of gagging gagging gagging he swallowed swallowed swallowed!!! Big night at the Creer household. HUGE.

seriously.

seriously, seriously, seriously......
AMAZING!!!


we had a "gender-check-ultrasound" on Monday (yes, it's still a girl) -- and I COULD NOT believe these awesome pictures that the Dr. captured of the baby's face! I think the first picture looks so much like Hailey when she was a newborn. we are getting so excited. just 11 weeks to go (in case you lost track. ok, I know you lost track.)

otherness...

*go David Archuleta!!! he is MY American Idol. he will win. who wants to argue? huh huh???

*sorry for the sporadic posts on this blog and comments on your blogs as of late; no good excuses except that being temporary housing for this new little one is, um, really, really, really wearing me out. I am still a huge fan of the blogs. really.

catch you all again soon.... I hope.

dear south dakota,

you are too cold. seriously, seriously, seriously too cold.

I am a swiss army knife.

according to my husband.

at 2:30 a.m.

the explanation:

I got up to use the bathroom at 2:00 a.m.ish --- this resulted in a certain dog waking up and needing to go out --- I took care of the Scoob and was almost home-free tucked back in bed when I hear Ty start coughing (I HATE COUGHS. I would take the stomach flu ANY DAY over coughs. stomach bugs last 3 days MAX. coughs, at least at our house GO ON FOREVER. enough about that.) So... I proceed to get back out of bed and take care of coughing Ty. at last I made it back to bed. no sooner did Andrew wake up to use the bathroom. I was annoyed.

the explanation:
Andrew is a "piggy-back-pee'er." huh? THAT'S RIGHT. A "PIGGY-BACK-PEE'ER." he gets up and uses the bathroom only AFTER I have have used the bathroom and then taken care of all our little dependents. TRUE STORY!

I would become the piggy-back-pee'er. but I can't hold it these days.

and here's is Andrew's sweet? response to my annoyance (is that a word?):
"Ame: You are a swiss army knife. YOU CAN DO IT ALL!"

ahhh... I felt so much better. (that's just what EVERY GIRL wants to hear) .... until 4:30a.m. when... well, you know....................
