My sister has informed me that she is extremely disappointed that I have not provided her with a "5 Things Friday" post to read for the last two Fridays! So just for her, I'm doing a 5 Things Monday post!
5 Movies that make me cry
1. Homeward Bound was on tv last night. Gary and I sat and watched it and made Lyla watch it with us! Do you all remember this movie? With the talking dogs and cat. Well there is one scene when they find a little girl lost in the woods. Yeah... made me cry. Since having Lyla some things just really rip me up that never even bothered me before!
2. Sex and the City (the first movie). The scene where Carrie is waiting on the steps for Big to get there for their wedding and she has to borrow somebodies phone to call and see where he is. From that point until Charlotte is yelling at Big in the middle of the street. It just rips my heart out! I could cry just thinking about it!
3. Country Strong. That's all I'm going to put. I don't want to give anything away for anyone who hasn't seen it!
4. Steel Magnolias. Julia Roberts is just so good in that movie. Its one of my favorites from beginning to end.
5. The Notebook. I'm not giving any explanation. If you can get through that entire movie and not cry... well you are pretty tough!

OH What a Sunday!
So, how was your Sunday? Let me give you a little rundown of how mine went, always interesting with Lyla around!
We started the morning like most weekend mornings, in the kitchen. She has gotten really good at singing her ABCs, so I figured I need to get it on video, so I got that done:
Then we decided we should go to the park before it got too hot outside.
After we were there a while we decided we should leave and go get ice cream. So on the way to ice cream, Lyla zonked out in the backseat. We couldn't go eat ice cream without her, so we figured we will just go home and let her nap and then get ice cream later.
She woke up as soon as I got her out of the car.
So I made a deal with her. I told her if she ate her lunch and took a nap when she got up we would go get ice cream. She did not do either of these things.
About 3:30 she convinced Gary and I that she NEEDED to go get ice cream. We really wanted ice cream too, so we gave in. We get in the car and start driving..... she passes out again!
When we get to the ice cream place I took her out of the car and she was just totally out. So I stood holding her while we got ice cream. Finally I was able to get her to wake up so she could have some. She would have been so mad if she slept through it.
After ice cream I decided to stop at Target to get diapers. Well we all three go in because she is not going to miss out on any chance to go shopping. While we are in there I was just looking at the toddler beds. Just looking..... well they had a princess bed and she got so excited. We decided if she is this excited about it then it will probably make it easier to transition.
So we got it home and Gary took down her crib and built her new bed while she supervised every second of it! She could not wait to have her princess bed!
Putting her to bed was no big deal at all.
Then at 11:30 she started crying, I opened our bedroom door to go and check on her and met her running to me in the hallway. I think she woke up and freaked out because she didn't know where she was or something. So I picked her up and she climbed in to our bed and fell right to sleep.
This morning she wakes up in our bed, so mad that she wasn't sleeping in her princess bed! hahaha So hopefully tonight goes smooth and she stays there all night!

5 Things Friday - 5 Reasons Why I Like the HEAT
5 Reasons why I like the HEAT
I always say that you will never hear me complain about the heat because I hate it so much when its cold. I get really annoyed with people who complain when its cold and complain when its hot. Its like pick one, so I choose to complain about the cold and not the heat!
Well this summer is starting to test my limits. Its been in the 90s consistently for quite a while now and the projected high for tomorrow is 100.... So for 5 things Friday I am going give myself a little reminder as to why the heat is better than the cold!
1. I don't have to wear a coat.
2. Flip Flops are much easier to slip on going out the door than putting on boots.
3. Less laundry. A load of t-shirts is a lot easier than two loads of sweats and a load of sweaters.
4. Vitamin D. All the sunshine is good for you!
5. You don't have to scrape the ice off of your windows or clean the snow off of your car.

Happy 4th of July - 2012 Edition
We had a really nice day today, even with it being 90 some degrees outside!
We met our friends Erin and Andy (and their friends Jamie and Andy) downtown at the Regatta. It wasn't quite as cool as we expected, they have some great people doing their marketing as Erin put it, but we made the best of it and had a really good time!
After we had lunch and walked around for a while, Gary and Lyla got in line to go down this huge inflatable slide! I really didn't think she would go down it, but she did!
After a few hours in the heat, I had a wicked sunburn and Lyla was pooped. So we called it a day and headed towards home! Now we are all just hanging out and enjoying the rest of our evening together before going back to work tomorrow.

Saying Goodbye to another FABULOUS Weekend!
We had a lot of fun this weekend even though we had to go separate ways to do it. Gary dropped Lyla and I off at my parents Saturday morning and we got to play at their house and go to a party at a friend's house while Gary was spending time in West Virginia.
But before we left on Saturday, we had dinner at home Friday night. Pizza, because we do it up fancy around here! Anyways, I turn around for one second and this is what I see: haha
Then on Saturday thanks to Lyla's Great Grandma she got to be a rock star!
She got to go swimming and party hard!
I got to visit with old friends.
And today Pappy taught Lyla what its really like to play in the country!

5 Things Friday - 5 Favorite TV Shows, that are no longer on the air
5 Things Friday
5 Favorite TV Shows, that are no longer on the air
So sometimes its hard to come up with the 5 things to put on my 5 things Fridays lists. Sometimes I get to 3 and I have to really dig to get 2 more. Today I thought, oh I can put my 5 favorite TV shows. Then that turned in to a pretty long list. Then I thought ok, widdle it down to favorite 5 shows that are no longer on the air.
And they are....
1. LOST
The show Lost was TV at its finest. It is one of the best shows I have ever seen. It made you think, it was entertaining, I just loved it! The writers were so smart and decided a couple seasons in when the show would end. That made the show more like a REALLY long movie. The beginning laid out all the characters, the middle was kind of boring but with a lot of infomation that you needed to be able to appreciate the end! It had everything from love stories to smoke monsters!
2. Sex and the City
Are you a Carrie or a Charlotte? Miranda or Samantha?? I love this show! Oh Big... :)
3. Friday Night Lights
It had a football plotline to keep the guys interested and drama to keep the girls watching. It was a perfect show for any couple out there. I cried watching so many episodes...
I may or may not have got Lyla's name from this show...
4. What About Brian
This show was only on for two seaons but I loved it. I later came to find out that one of my current favorite shows (Parenthood) is written by the same people. Conincidence???
5. E! THS (True Hollywood Story)
THS can pick any person, no matter how dull their life is and by the end of that hour I will be so sucked in and want to know even more about their boring life!! This show is amazing to me!
