It's my birthday soon!

I'm pretty tired today. Yesterday, I ended up getting a TON of new baby clothes and wanted to go through the clothes Alex has and put away what's too small. After putting a small tuberware container of onesies and sleepers away, I arranged her dresser, closet, and put her "too big" clothes away in a LARGE tuberware container. She has SO MUCH to wear. I don't think I'll need to buy her any clothes til she's 4 years old.

Other news, it's my 25th birthday on Tuesday. My mom is taking me out for sushi, and then my husband is taking me out downtown. I'm excited to have a night to go out. It's also Saint Patricks day, so you know there's always a party.

Also, Alex rolled over THREE times this morning. She was behind on learning to do that, so we had fun celebrating over that today.

My halo 3 disk isnt playing any more. I'm a little disapointed, but honestly, I get so frustrated when I play that game... There's so many nasty kids on that game, it makes the matchmaking unenjoyable. So, looks like it's call of duty for me for a while. At least until I can get resident evil 5 from my brother. I'm really not too interested in RE5, mostly because the camera and controlls on the demo is pretty annoying. RE4 was really fun... Also, what ever happened to ZOMBIES?!?! These baddies are not zombies? I miss those guys.

Anyway, it's time for Alex's nap. She's getting fussy in her jumper. Yelling at her toys. HAHA!

They say all things happen for a reason. Drunk driver=free trees?

Last week, I was about to give the baby a bath, and we heard a loud explosion. Then the power went out for a few seconds and came right back on. I asked my husband if he heard the explosion too, and he said he saw a bright blue light from the window. Since there was a telephone pole and a transformer at the end of our driveway, I asked the hubs to go check out.

Apparently, some drunk driver came down my road and demolished my mailbox and slammed into the support wire for the telephone pole outside my house. Surprisingly, the support wire had totaled this person's car. Long story short, we were told that we were getting a new mailbox!

So the person who took the mailbox out came by and told me that he would pay for the mailbox. So my husband and I spent the other day digging out concrete, setting the post, and installing a brand new mailbox!

Yesterday, while I was at the post office picking up my mail (since I had no mailbox) I noticed a sign on the door that said the local arbor foundation was giving away free trees, first come first serve. So my mom and I headed to the place they said they were giving them away. We ended up getting 12 trees! So yesterday, my mom, husband, and I spent a few hours planting a few trees around the property.

I didn't really know what they were going to look like when they got bigger, so I looked them up. I'm really excited that we ended up getting 2 of my FAVORITE local tree. It's called a redbud. It's one of those pink spring blossoming trees. We also ended up getting some oaks, walnut, and pecan trees. They're going to look great in a few years!!

Ive also discovered that a few of the random friends on my Xbox Live account have been stalking some of my clan members... So I had to do a friends list clean up last night. I also got to spend a few minutes kicking ass and taking names on Call of Duty 4.

Well, I say kicking ass, but honestly, I don't play that well any more. I wasn't positive on my kill/death ratio much. Oh well! It will come back.

I'm about to take the baby to watch me play some rock band or guitar hero. She really likes watching all the colors on that game. And I think she likes some of the music too. She has already expressed an interest in Explosions in the Sky and ZZ-Top. Very different artists... So I don't know. She does LOVE to watch daddy play guitar, though. So maybe she's just a baby rock star.. HAHA!
