11 Months Old!
My baby girl is now 11 months old! She will be ONE in less than a month! Wow.. just cant get over that. She is now crawling so fast.. i really have to watch her! She loves to go for the cords in the living room or someone's drink... so yeah, thats fun! haha. She is waving, and "talking".. although she still doesnt say MAMA that much :( Oh but she loves to say Dadadadada! all the time! :-P I included a few recent pics. The first one... i had to have that outfit b/c it said DEAL (our last name) Dont you love it?? :)
Got my Hair Chopped Off!!
I decided my hair had gotten too long-- i hate it when it gets too long and it goes so flat and looks horrible. I dont have much volume! But anyway-- mom paid for me to have my haircut and some blonde highlights put in. You cant even see them in the pic, but they are there! Anyway, im loving the short hair, much easier to manage :)

Mothers Day 2010!!
Mothers Day 2010 was pretty awesome!! :)
Saturday i spent the day with Arnold and the kids. Arnold and the 2 big kids had to go to walmart to pick up dogfood and when they came home they had brought me the latest issue of my favorite magazine, and some cupcakes with hotpink icing, lol.. i thought it was a sweet gesture. Then later on that afternoon we took the kids to the library to get some new books and i got a few new ones to read, also. That night we went to visit my parents for a little while, and when we got back home and put the kids to bed Arnold went out to get us food from Red Lobster, brought it home and we had a nice dinner alone! Even though it was almost 10:00 at night before we got to eat, LOL. I had crablegs, garlic shrimp, and some mashed potatoes. There was also a salad and stuff but i was SO stuffed, i couldnt finish it all!
Sunday morning Arnold brought me scrambled eggs in bed, my favorite ;) Then we all got ready and went to church. I had baby nursery duty this week, so i stayed in there w/ Rachel and the other baby thats usually in there. The kids all made their moms handprint things, which was really sweet! There was this poem on it that almost made me cry!
Anyway, after church we went out to lunch @ Ocharleys w/ MIL, FIL and SIL. We had to wait almost an hour for a table, but thats to be expected on Mothers Day. The kids actually did pretty good waiting for so long. We finally got a table and ordered. Then we gave MIL her present..she seemed to like it. My FIL totally surprised me and gave me a GC to Target! Everyone knows how much i love Target ;-) For lunch i had breakfast foods-- pancakes, bacon, and potatoes, and it was yummy! After lunch we came home and Arnold cleaned up the kitchen for me, while i got online :-P We also got a real good pic of me and the kids outside yesterday afternoon.. i was pleased :) Usually its hard to get everyone to look at the camera at once! I opened my gift from the kids.. and it was a Giftcard to OldNavy to get me some new clothes! Ive been telling Arnold forever that i wanted to get some, but i always feel guilty spending money on myself! But now i can go shopping and im excited :) The kids also got me the cutest card, and Arnold got me a sweet card. I asked him not to spend a lot of money on me, so our seafood dinner the night before was my gift-- and i loved it of course! ;-)
Yesterday evening we went ovcr to Mom & Dad's for a cookout. Dad made steaks for everyone, but made a chicken for me, since thats my favorite ;-) We also had baked potatoes, bread sticks, salad, watermelon... then cheesecake for dessert! I was SO stuffed! I couldnt even finish my cake! We let Rachel try some and she LOVED it :) Dad had gotten me flowers, and they were beautiful! I have them at home in my kitchen now. Mom is paying for me to get my hair cut and highlighted this coming Friday-- i am looking so forward to that, because my hair has gotten so long and unruly! I just am ready to chop it all off! :) Then when we got home and put the kids to bed Arnold and i got online and watched last night's SNL.. Betty White hosted and it was an awesome episode! I love her!!!! :)
It was a GREAT weekend and GREAT Mothers Day and I feel so blessed!!! :)

Friday, May 7th
Well i was expecting Friday to be a bad day, because I woke up reallllly sick on my stomach. I thought i had caught another stomach bug, and was really bummed out. But im pretty sure it was just something i ate, because i started feeling almost 100% better by lunchtime. Since we thought it was the stomachbug, Arnold called into work. I told him he could go back to work since i was feeling better, but he said he just wanted to stay home and spend the day with us, so that was nice :)
Anyway, last night we dropped the big kids off at their grandparents' house, and Arnold, Rachel and I went out. We went down to Conover and i went to this place i always used to go to and I got my eyebrows waxed. It ad been awhile and i forgot how bad it hurt... i was ready to yell out some expletives, believe me! ;-) But it was worth it, because my eyebrows look much better now, they were getting unruly ;-) After that we went to Kmart to look around for awhile. Im glad i did because their kids' shorts were on sale, so i got some for Brooke and Caleb. I also found the cutest outfit for Rachel that said "Im kindof a Big Deal"-- had to have that since our last name is Deal ;-) And lastly we went down the road to visit a good friend of mine, Jess, who had moved into a new apartment. She lives right next door to a friend of mine that ive known since elementary school... and we happened to see him and his wife last night, too. So it was nice getting to see some friends :) Then we went to pick up the kids and my MIL gave me some flowers for Mothers Day, so that was sweet :) they are really pretty, i have a pic on the phone Ill have to post later if i remember!
Rachel is Mobile!!!
Thats right, the other day Rachel started crawling!!!!!!!!!!!
Well shes been "scooting" for the longest time now... she can move across a room, just in her own way... but she finally figured out how to get up on her knees, so now shes REALLY crawling. She can move alot quicker now! I really have to watch her now-- she can just be sitting there one moment and the next shes trying to go after my drink, or the laptop cords, or who knows what else. You spend all this time wishing your kids would finally hit a new milestone then wanting to take it back because it keeps you busier after that! haha. Plus, its sad shes growing up so fast :( She crawled just a little earlier than Brooke did... I know most babies are standing or even walking by now but my kids were always late walkers, and i was too when i was a baby, so im not worried about it!
Cinco De Mayo!
Wed was Cinco De Mayo! We were planning on going out to eat that night, mexican food of course. Arnold wanted to go to Rancho Viejo because thats his favorite. But everywhere was packed! So we just ended up going to Taco Bell (haha) and even that was busy! Anyway, we got lots of mexican food and it was yummmy! I tried one of their new tostadas. Rachel got a taste of her first taco (SOFT taco of course ;) She seemed to like it.
Before we went out that night we decided to take a few silly pics, that i added on here. The sombrero was from my trip to Cancun back in 2003... we went right after I graduated highschool. I cant believe i still have that thing. We have it hanging on the wall in one of our bathrooms, haha. Anyway, dont laugh too much. :0)
