(I LOVE this pic!)

We were outside today. Indy was in one of her ballerina dress-ups... (which I loved because she hasn't really been into dress-up lately and I've missed seeing her in such cute little digs!)

So this is me looking at the bright side of things. My next door neighbor's lawn is INFESTED with dandelions... and I really mean infested. (now picture me outside every night picking handfuls of dandelions from my yard, trying ever so hard to avoid the white puff balls of seed spreading DOOM!)... but I digress ... amongts the hords of dandelions are a few of these very cute white flowers. I just couldn't help an impromptu photo shoot!

Indy thought this face was the funniest thing ever. She kept saying, "I want my face to be like this." and then she'd make the face. "Was that a silly face, momma?"

Cute Kid!

VIDEOS!!

I think I may have FINALLY got blogger to post a video! (finger's crossed!) This is a video of Indy swimming. I still find myself thinking "go Indy! GO!" when I watch it! She usually gets all the way to the rope, but I didn't manage to catch the video of it.

Here's another video I took of her the other day. I haven't figured out how to rotate videos, (if anyone knows, please help!) so sorry you'll have to tilt your head to watch. But trust me, it's worth it! Indy has her own little Fisher Price brand mp3 player, which is, seriously THE best thing "Santa" has ever got for her. She's listening to it in this video and watching her shadow on the wall. She didn't know I was taping her, so she was being pretty stinking cute!

Imagine, if you will, waking up in quite a daze... the kind where its hard to place where you are, and hearing your husband and your 3.5 year-old daughter. This may be fine til you realize its 1am. Now, daddy being up is no big deal, but Indy being up at that time is quite alarming, especially when you realize her voice is quite upset. So I stumble down the hall to see what's going on and find them in the bathroom and when I see Indy I'm terrified. Blood is literally COVERING her entire face and she looks horrible! HELLO!! scare the crap out of mommy time!

Luckily I quickly realized it was just a bloody nose... something that Indy gets on quite a regular basis, but still is alarming everytime... throw in a half asleep mommy and it's not a pretty sight!

THANK GOODNESS FOR DADDY! He totally handled the whole ordeal, got the bleeding to stop, cleaned Indy up, and managed to calm her down. Where's mommy you may ask... trying my hardest to change sheets while half asleep.

We got her back to sleep without much more drama, just a little sad crying, mostly because she was so tired.

The next day we were playing at The Little Gym when she lightly bumped her nose, setting the whole ordeal into motion once again. Of course, being the middle of the day, instead of the dead of night, I was much more alert and affective. Took care if it, but once again my daughter was covered in blood. Later I was trying my hardest to clean her nose up before she went to swimming lessons. I twisted the wipey up into a point to stick up her nose and get the last of the crusties, (lovely.... I know....) She was quite taken back when I did this and gave me the "what the heck are you doing, MOM!" look. I thought for sure she was going to lose it, but instead I got this, "Mom! I'm not a key whole!"

Seriously, where do they come up with these things!

Don't get too excited!

So I know it's been a while since I last posted. I'm sure everyone has been holding their breath in anticipation!!! right.... oh well.

I think I'm deep-down resenting blogger because I can't get the stupid thing to upload a video. So I'm taking the defeatist attitude and avoiding it all together!

But we just got a new laptop and I like typing on it. So now you all are sitting there reading "blah, blah blah.... blah" because I enjoy my new keyboard..... kind of a let down... huh!

Sheesh, what a tease. Reading all this only to find out that it really has no importance or significance... not even really a point, huh.

But, then again, you're still reading, aren't you? why? still hoping, grasping at straws really that I might relay some important fact of some interest...

oh, wait.... there is that... oh, nevermind...

there's 2 minutes of your life you'll never get back!

TUTU give away!

I LOVE tutu's. If we lived in a warmer climate I think I'd let Indy run around in tutu's and leg warmers all day, everyday! So I couldn't pass this up. Check out this blog to find out how you can enter to win too. And make sure to mention that you heard about it from me!

SO CUTE!

these are a few of my favorite things

For the past little while Indy's entered into the "I want to know everything about everything" phase. She's like a little sponge just craving more and more info to fill it up. Sometimes I'm totally caught off guard by the questions she asks. Yesterday she asked me what held up the clouds. Really, who ever's really thought about that one before, raise your hand! I had to think real quick to come up with an answer that could even possibly be true.... the atmosphere?!!?? (sounds good to me. time to go home and google that one!)

One of her new FAVORITE things are planets. Luckily, we live downtown near the planetarium so we went and checked out the planets. On the day we went she decided Neptune was her favorite, so we took a picture next to it. Usually she talks mostly about Jupiter and its red eye.

We also broke down and got a trampoline. Now we are official Utahans!! Can you see the excitement in her face!

Oh... one more.

Samurai KITTY!
