Parental Advisory: THE PERRY FAMILY IS NOT CREATIVE......

Please note, this is not to show you how creative we are, because that is definatley an area we are lacking ;( but hey at least we try right?!?! Last night we decided to make a gingerbread house....this was supposed to be done on Christmas Eve, but Josh is working off for a few days, and we don't know when he will be home, so we made the best of it!!!

Trying a Family Picture....

She started in her high chair....Yep, she's a monkey ;)

Cuute...huh (no)?!? Josh & Faith couldn't wait they ate the chimney & tree...

...and it lasted about 1 min before they ate the rest...

MOM!! The roof fell off!!!!!!!!!
I hope everyone has a very merry christmas, and you get to spend good quality family time! Faith & I will be off to Vegas on the 27th....hopefully Josh is home from work before then!!!

Merry Christmas...xoxoxoxo,

KinderMusik!

Well hello again!!

For the past 11ish weeks we have been going to KinderMusik! And we LOVED it! We had a great time, and got to know some new friends!! Faith also learned a lot, from dancing, and sharing and telling toys and instruments "bye,bye"! Let me tell you that first class, the first time she had a shaker taken from her was NOT a very pretty scene!

I have really enjoyed taking her there, and will be sad until or next semester starts at the end of January! We always looked forward to Thursday mornings and taking her! Let me tell you though, Faith is not a "normal" kid, at least compared to all the kids in Kindermusik around her age! She is a NON STOP toddler, she doesn't sit still, she pulls things out from under the table, she runs crazy through out the whole class! I learned early, that there was no stopping her!!! Especially since a lot of the kids were 6-10 months old it was kinda embarassing at first, but she ended up charming everyone, even while running a muck! I am looking forward to next semester when we get bumped up to the next age group and she is the youngest, maybe she will appear less...."crazy"!
Check out Kindermusik in your area! It is super fun!!

and thanks Margo for making me post something ;)

Pre-Turkey Day update ;)

I know I know, I am HORRIBLE at blogging, I never knew once I had a toddler, I would have ZERO time, well especially since I don't have a desk or anything like that and she is ALWAYS turning my computer off, or trying to push buttons (mine & the computers).

YAY!! Mommy FINALLY updated our blog!!

Faith is doing GREAT, developmentally, we went for her 15 month check up (a little late), once I found a doctor here in Morgantown! He was super nice, thanks to a referral from a friend in Kindermusik! And he didn't get on me about her weight, which I consider a home run, because that is all I EVER hear about!! Are you ready for this one....my almost 16 month old is weighing in at....take a guess.....whatever your thinking is wrong.....she is......16 lbs, 12 oz :( hahaha, Josh and I were positive she was almost 20 lbs...no such luck!! She isn't in any percentile for her weight, which I am use to...she is 29 and 1/4 inches long, which puts her in about the 45th percentile for her height!! So at least she is on the charts somewhere right?! And in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am thankful for my healthy, tiny little peanut!! Who makes it easy to carry her around ;)

I hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving week, Faith and I are off to my Kentucky to visit my Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Jean, also my Grandma and Grandpa Shively will be there!! Unfortunatley Josh only has Thursday off, so he can't join us! I have seen them more in the past 6 months than I have in 3 years, and for that I am VERY Thankful for, especially since last Spring we almost lost my grandpa before he even met Faith, Thank you God, for giving me the opportunity to let them spend time together!! I will post lots of pictures...eventually, hopefully before Christmas ;)

Annnddd...now time for some ahhhmazing pictures...haha enjoy, since I know that is why most people look at the blog anyhow, which I am ok with!!!

Vegas/Halloween!

Faith & I had our worst flying adventure yet....and I wont go into details, because it was just that bad I would have to write for HOURS!! Not because of Faith, tho thankfully, I will never fly Delta again that is for sure!!

Anyways! We arrived to Vegas on Rochelle's birthday, we got to see her new house, and spend some girl time, with Chelle, Angelina and Mom :) Faith got to show off her walking skills to everyone, and get used to having people in her face 24/7! We had to go to Wal Mart, to buy clothes...our luggage ended up in Jacksonville Fl! Then we arrived to YaYa & Papa's house and ate Happy Joes Pizza...it was AMAZING!!!!! It was for Chelle's bday, but I had some selfish reasons for having it shipped too!! Tuesday we had a girls shopping day...without Ang :( she had school!! But I got some MUCH needed jeans from my favorite store (The Buckle)! The rest of the days were filled with napping and just hanging out going here, and there and everywhere!!! And hair appointments ;)

MOM! 3 hour time changes SUCK!!!!

Apparently only on the West Coast do they do trick or treat on Halloween night, so Sunday night we got the girls all dressed up for halloween! Angelina had pink eye so we had a little scare that she wouldn't be able to go, but we put gloves on her and used a lot of sanatizer!!! Faith did great, tried walking in everyone's house...to be expected I guess!! Monday we got to see Grandpa Ken, then went to the Kolar, Shively, Fenn house for dinner...spaghetti...mMmMmMm...

Baby Sock Monkey!!

Hannah Montana....with pink eye ;)

Grandpa Ken...he remindes me of my daddy!!

I hope everyone had a great halloween!!

Changes in Attitudes....Changes in Lattitudes...

So after a year of taking care of Faith, and not really doing anything for myself, or even taking time for myself, I decided I needed to get back in the swing of things!! I decided it was time for a change, time to chop my hair off. This may sound stupid to some people, but I can't descirbe how it made me feel! My long hair NEVER got done, I just jumped out of the shower, and threw it up, I spent more time getting Faith ready for the day then I did myself, and honstley I think I cared more what she looked like than me! It is crazy how a cut and color can change your whole outlook and change how you feel about yourself! I never thought I would have short hair that I couldn't even pull up, but it forces me to straighten it, and I think that is a plus!!! It forces me to spend time on myself, which is good. I think my husband appriceates it too!!

So here are some pics, that most of you have already seen, but enjoy anyhow, I know I am!! Especially the only 20 min. it takes me to actually do it!! ;)

droid bogging!
