Blogging.. to self?

It's slightly weird blogging to myself (as I have no followers, ya know, since this is brand new and I'm really not that exciting!!)

But hey, someday I'll love coming back and looking at these blogs to myself. Especially because this is such an amazing time in my life. Well... life is rocky right now. But Peyton is at such an amazing time in her life which therefore makes my life more amazing.

She is so fun to watch. I seriously can watch her play forever. I love seeing her pick up a toy and examine it at every possible angle. Then she shakes it because shaking things is fun. And then of course she has to put it in her mouth. Because what if it tastes good? (or maybe it's because I swear she's getting ready to get some more teeth.)

I love making her laugh. I will do absolutely anything to get that cute baby giggle out of her. I've never acted quite so dorky/silly in my life. But it's so worth it and I don't care who see's me. They'll forget how dorky I am once they hear that piece of heaven too. I need to somehow figure out how to record her laugh on my phone so that I can set it as my ring tone. Wouldn't that be the best ring tone ever?? No matter who was calling I would always smile. :)

She is quite the daredevil and I think this must be how people start getting gray hairs. She is pulling up so I swear she is constantly standing. No big accidents yet, but can't be long. I'm not looking forward to that day.

So yes, Peyton makes my life more amazing. :)

Make It and Love It

Ok - seriously cute stuff on the Make It and Love It blog. One of the blogs I would "follow" before I made this little place to talk about my not so thrilling life. :-) She's having a super awesome give away right now for some ADORABLE baby stuff from Beautiful Baby Boutique. Go check it out. Just leave a comment with your email address and you have one entry! Plus there are a few other ways to enter as well. Good luck!!

Peyton can high 5 now. Not sure she really understands what she is doing. But she does it. I loooove it! Right now she is jumping like crazy in her jumperoo as I sit here and type this out. Is that bad of me?? :-)

Oh - good news!! My biggest pair of post-partum pants (the ones I had to buy because NOTHING else fit) are now to big. Yep!! Toooo big! I can pull them down while they are buttoned and zipped. Time for some new pants. Too bad there are still a couple sizes before I can fit in that pre-preggo stuff. It's a good thing Peyton is so cute - otherwise I might be mad at her for making me gain so much weight. ;-)

Peace out!!

Here I am!

I have some blogs I read on here, figure it would be easier to keep up if I started my own blog! :-)

So, guess I'll start with who I am.

I am Cassie!



Sorry that pics on my wedding day. It's the only "current" one of myself I could find that I liked. And it's not all that current. That was on my wedding day!

I married my love on June 13th, 2008.



We had a beautiful baby girl on November 16th, 2008. (Oh yes... math doesn't quite add up right? We were engaged Aug of 07 and had a bit of an "oops" Feb of 08.) Best oops ever if I do say so myself. Anyways - she's 9 months old now and totally adorable. She is silly too. And dramatic. Seriously. DRA-MA-TIC!!

Here she is:


See???? I wasn't lieing to you. She is CUTE!



And DRA-MA-TIC!! (kinda like her Mama.. some would say!!)

Anyways - there's the start of my life.

I work full time. Which stinks. Because I would much rather be a stay at home Mommy to my darling little drama queen. I am sad every day going to work. But - work is necessary. My husband hangs drywall and, as you all know, the economy sucks. Therefore - building of new houses sucks. Meaning - husband stays home with my little drama queen a lot. I'm slightly jealous. But so glad they are getting this bond. She is a Mama's girl though.. even though I'm not home with her every day. (I love this fact!)

I work for a health insurance company. So - ya know, thats a bit scary right now. Who knows what health care reform is going to happen and how that is going to affect my job. We totally need to fix the flawed system. Hopefully they don't just go for a "quick fix" that isn't really going to fix anything. Other than the scary part. And the rather be a stay at home Mom part, I do like my job quite a bit.

That's all for now. Hope you (Mr./Ms. non-existent blog reader) enjoyed the tiny glimpse into my life. More to come. I think.... ;-)
