This is how Tanzi eats her McDonald's chicken nuggets.

Thinking outside the bun.

Last night as I layed in bed, I had a hard time sleeping. My stomach growled, and all I could think about was the tasty food of Taco Bell! I forced myself to go to sleep, imagining the taste of a Mexican Pizza, or Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes. It was then, that I decided I would eat there for lunch today. I also offered to bring some to my hubby at work, which is probably making his day.

Remember when the Taco Bell Chihuahua was everywhere? I had all sorts of the little stuffed dogs that talked when you pressed the little button. I went on a field trip in the 5th grade I believe, and this boy in my class bought me one that said, "I think I'm in looove". It was so romantic....hehe

I honestly don't know of anyone who doesn't like Taco Bell. Everyone loves it! I can't wait to fill my belly :)

Silly Speidi!

My B.F.F.s

7 weeks pregnant today, and nausea has taken it's course. Right now, I have two best friends: Ginger Ale and Jolly Ranchers. They seem to help a little :)

Cool shoes...

After becoming a mom, I've quickly realized that when I go shopping, I rarely buy for myself anymore. I go straight to the little kiddies section for Miss Tanzi. My daughter is very small for her age. She is 20 months old, and just now growing out of 12 month sizes! Buying more expensive things for her has always been a no-no, mainly because I can't stand the thought of buying her something she'll quickly grow out of. She is actually starting to grow a little, which means that I've got to start getting her some new, bigger clothes, including shoes.

This summer, all she's worn are sandals. With fall just around the corner, I figured I can't go wrong with a nice pair of sneakers :) I'd love to get her some cute little flats, but considering she's just now growing into a size 4, it's hard to find shoes like that smaller than a 5. Pink Chuck T's are what we ended up getting her, which we LOVE!

My husband loves these shoes so much that he wore them at our wedding reception! It was even my idea for his Groom's cake!!

Well, I better get back to doing laundry :P

HAVE A SPLENDID WEEKEND!

What's your name, baby?

Good morning!! Tanzi actually let me sleep in til 9:30 today, so I'm in a great mood :D

Although I'm only six weeks, we have officially picked out baby names! We knew we wanted to pick names that aren't too common, but nothing too weird of course. Dustin picked the boy's first name, while I picked the middle name...kind of? I had mentioned it as soon as we found out, but he didn't seem to really like it. Then during a movie one night, we whispered the name in my ear. I was like, "I already said that!" Hahaha! I came up with the girl's name last night while he was at work. I'm pretty excited about it. Oh, and by the way, we are keeping these names secret until it's birthday ;) We WERE going to keep the sex secret, too, but I don't think it could be possible!

I told my sister the news of us having the names picked out, and she said she had a dream about it last night. She dreamt we named our baby "Cheesy". "Cheesy Mack Bishop"! Hahahahahaha Maybe if we were famous??? Not really.

If we have twins, which I highly doubt, then we might run into some trouble. I can't really think of any other boy names I like. Or at least any that haven't become pretty common. We try to get a little creative. Like Tanzi Belle :D

A couple of the other girls names I like are Nora and Amelia, which the hubby didn't seem too excited over...I also really like boy names for girls, like Evan and Ryan.

Anyway, what are your thoughts on baby names? What do you look for and what are your favorites? Any neat family names?

From a recent trip to Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg.  We ALL had a blast!...even though Tanzi doesn't look too happy...haha
