And the Nominees are....

I want to say thank you for all of your great ideas for middle names. Greg and I have narrowed it down to our favorites so now we just have to pick one. Greg's pick is Layla Grace. I like that one but I also like Layla Marie, Layla Rose and Layla Rachel. So thanks again for all of the great names and we'll let you know the winner when we decide.

I need some ideas

So Greg and I pretty sure that we are going to name this next baby Layla. The problem is that I can't think of a middle name to go with it. I want something pretty that flows well like Eva's. (for all of you who don't know it's Eva Sophia) So I'm reaching out to all of my friends and family for some ideas. I have looked in my baby name book and on the internet and I just can't find anything. So if any of you have any ideas please, please let me know.

Tagged Again

I was tagged to post the 4th picture I have on my computer. I was scared that it was going to be some scary picture of me and Eva when she was born, but I lucked out. The first digital pictures we got on this computer were from my older sister Amber who had her son Nathan about 8 months before I had Eva. This is a sweet picture of Amber's husband Cameron and their son Nathan. He is now 2 years old. Time sure does fly doesn't it? Still what a nice little trip down memory lane. I love this picture it is so innocent. Cameron what a sweet daddy you are.

I tag Amber, Michelle, Rachel and Mom.

Mr. Fix It.

Since all I did was complain in my last post I decide I should write about good things in my life. Like my husband. I am soooo thankful for him. I feel very lucky to have him in my life, he is such a good father and partner. Maybe one of the reasons we get along so well is because he is gone so much? So then when he is home we really appreciate each other. Absents does make the heart grow fonder. We rarely ever fight and can always make each other laugh. He really is my best friend. OK I can just see some of you sticking you fingers down your throat and making the gag me face so I'll stop with all the mushy stuff.

I really wanted to right about how Greg is so handy. Anything that needs to be fixed he is always ready and willing to do it himself. Which ends up always saving us money. For example 3 different windows on the jeep have broken at one time or another. Well not the actual window but the motor that makes them roll up and down. One broke while he was gone last summer and I think it was around $600 to get fixed. When the other 2 broke Greg just took the door apart and fixed it himself. Then it only cost $260 for the part which is still a lot but better than $600 right? He has fixed other things but the most resent was our dryer. Just last week it stopped drying the clothes. The washer and dryer are like 14 years old so I wasn't too surprised that one broke down but we are not ready to buy new ones so I asked Greg to take a look at it. He just totally amazed me. He took out the heating element (how he knew where or what that was I have no idea) and replaced it with a new one and to quote Eva "TaDa" it was fixed. Now the dryer works better now then it did before. I was just so thankful that Greg was able to fix it and it only cost $25.00! You just can't beat that. I am just really lucky to have a husband that is so handy.
Greg got to work from home for a few days so here is a picture of him on the computer with Eva coloring next to him. She wanted to be like Daddy and sit at the table. They were both just so busy.
