Whoopsie! It's been over a month!

It's been well over a month since I last blogged! Who knew time could get away from you so fast?! I really want to keep up with this to look back at. Not to mention I love connecting and getting fantastic ideas from all the blogging mommas out there!

What have we been up to the last month?!?! Take a look!

 We went to Eel Pout and had the best time ever! I will say I'm not young anymore ;) I couldn't wait to get home! But it was such a fun time and made you remember what it was like before you had kids. How are we still alive?!?!

 Elliot has been really into fighting me for her outfit choices. Of course hers are cow"girl" boots, two tu-tus, two shirts, and no pants. Sometimes that just doesn't fly. I will say I do let her chose her outfits a bit. But this day, I wanted her to wear her overalls. She was DEVASTATED. It might not look like it in the picture, but man her life was over. Something along the lines of everyone will make fun of this all jean outfit. HA! How adorable did she look?!?!

We can't forget our trips to the Sugar Shack. Seriously it gets us every single time. Dixie might have to start getting her own cone too!

Elliot has had a super stinky smell coming from her nose/mouth for about two months. I thought it was bad breath, I thought I was this awful mom that wasn't brushing her teeth good enough. Turns out the smell was coming from her nose. So after a couple trips to the doctor we realized she had something stuck up her nose. So the doctor had asked if she had stuck anything up her nose lately... well 9 months ago she did get a straw wrapper stuck in her nose, but she threw up and cried and cried and we figured it was out. She never complained she said it wasn't in there. I kind of nervously giggled and was like it couldn't be up there for 9 months. Well what do you know, it actually can! So it was causing an infection up there. So we had to get it out. This is where it got bad again, we just figured they could get it out at the office. Nope, she had to get put under. I'm telling you this was HORRIBLE. So so so awful. I probably cried all day long, even after she was back to her normal self. I never want to see her scared like that again. Elliot milked it for all she could and we gladly let her. I'm happy to say her nose isn't smelly anymore!

We had some absolutely fantastic weather for a week. I'm talking almost 70 degrees. We spent as much time outside as we could. Which was good because its been low 30's since then! Now this week should be mid 50's and I can't even tell you how excited we are! Hello outdoors all day long!

We regularly participate in crazy hair. There is nothing we can do about Elliot's. Its so insane. But Dixie has this perfect straight soft hair. Until she woke up this morning with the craziest ever!

Every year my brother in law hosts a March Madness first day all day activity at Buffalo Wild Wings. You seriously sit at Buffalo Wild Wings all day long and eat and drink and watch basketball. It is so fantastic! We take the day off work every year! Can you tell we are sisters ;) 

We went and saw Beauty and the Beast. If you haven't seen it GO NOW! Seriously it was sooooo great. The singing and visuals were unreal! We both loved it. I might of even teared up a couple times out of complete happiness I was able to take my baby to this movie that I love so dearly. 

Dixie has had a couple evaluations lately to see if she can qualify for some in home physical therapy. She is delayed Gross Motor wise and I think for speech as well. We have known she has low muscle tone for a while and that it will just take her a little longer to get up to speed gross motor wise. But we decided to start going through the process to get her into PT. Dixie has made huge progress over the last month but still her poor little ankles have zero support. So we got some high top shoes and hopefully until PT that offers a little more support. How cute is this girl?!?!

Also speaking of this girl. I was looking in her mouth to see if her molars were progress anymore and realized that all her teeth had like grey plaque at the top line but her gums. I started to completely freak out. Question whether I brush her teeth good enough, questioning my parenting skills. I was a basket case. We got her in and it just turns out the high amounts of iron we have in our water since we have well water can do that to some peoples teeth. I feel so much better. But seriously look for yourself, wouldn't you freak out?!

I think that is all I have for now but I plan on writing one big long post about our recent mini family vacay to Duluth, MN! It was BEAUTIFUL!
