Day 7: Favorite movies

Today's topic of favorite movies is a hard topic because I don't really have a lot of favorite movies. I like a lot of movies, but in order to be a "favorite" I feel that it has to be a movie you can watch over and over again and not get tired of it. This is one category where Conrad and I are so different. He loves movies for the way they are made more than what its about. Therefore, I love the chick-flicks, funny movies, and those that make you cry. Some of you may laugh at my favorites, but I'm not ashamed :)
My all time favorite movie is  Yours, Mine, and Ours. Not the new remade one, but the original with Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda....I've seen it a thousand times....seriously. Other favorites in no particular order are:

-Parent Trap

-Bruce Almighty

-Cheaper by the Dozen (1&2)

-The Notebook

-The Princess Diaries

-Mean Girls

-Sweet Home Alabama

Happy Monday Everyone!

PS-I did not add Twilight to the list b/c while I enjoy the movies and like them a lot, I think the books are way better.....

Day 6: Happy 5 Months!

Well day 6 of my blogging is supposed to be favorite picture day. So here is one of my all time favorite pictures.

I know you're probably thinking "Why would she choose this discusting picture of herself as her favorite picture?" Well I love this picture for many reasons and the way I look is not one of them. This picture shows love. The love that Conrad has for me, the love that I have for my daughter and the love that God has for us by bringing us all together. This picture was taken exactly 5 months ago!

Today Hannah is 5 months old and I can't believe how time flies! She is getting bigger every day, discovering new things, and it is all happening so fast. I hope as she grows, she will know how much her mommy and daddy love her and care for her. Here are just a few things that she is doing at 5 months



*eating rice cereal and oatmeal

*rolling from front to back and back to front

*trying so hard to sit up straight (right now its more of a lean)

*laughing, giggle, baby-talking

*her favorite toys include Chiming Charlie, her exosaucer, stacking music stars, and talking elmo

*she has found a love for our dog peanut and watches his every move

*sleeping through the night (most of the time)

*she started going to "school" aka Moms day out 2 days a week

I love you Hannah Elizabeth!

Here are some pictures taken this morning at 5 months :)

Day 5: Favorite Recipes

I try to cook dinner every night, so I have a lot of recipes. But, I'm having a hard time deciding what my favorite ones are. So, I asked Conrad what were his top 3 favorite things I make and I will give you those recipes. :)

Day 4: My Parents

I have to say that I was pretty blessed in the parent department. I was blessed with amazing Christian parents who helped shape me into the person I am today.
I'll start off talking about my dad...a lot of dads out there are consumed by their work and bring it home, stay late, work weekend, etc. But, my dad cared more about his family than work. In fact, he left an amazing job for his family and not many men/fathers would give up a job they love for their family which says a lot about my dads character. Growing up I loved playing with my Sesame Street playhouse and I remember my dad dropping whatever he was doing to play with me. For some reason that memory has stuck in my head and I think about that a lot. :) My dad made sure that we grew up to love God and follow his word. He has been an amazing Christian role model and I've seen him do and make some hard decisions because of his faith. He is someone that I have always known I can go to for anything. He has always been the leader, provider, and structure of our family.
Now onto my mom...I was blessed to have had a mom who stayed at home with me, my sister, and brother. As I sit here and write this, I am having a hard time putting my thoughts into words (surprise, surprise). There is so much I could say about my mom that I don't know how to say it. One of my favorite things about my mom is the fact that we always had a homemade meal at our dinner table every night. I am trying to be the mom to Hannah that she has been for me and my siblings. She is my best friend and I don't think a day goes by I don't talk to her on the phone.
There is so much more I could say about my parents but this post would be forever long. Love you mom and dad!

Day 3: My first love

Well Im not sure how old I was (we'll say 7 or 8) but I was in love with a boy, no a man. I loved to watch him throw a football, I wrote him love letters, wrote songs for him and had his picture all around my room. I would like to say this love died over the years but I'm not sure I can. I still get to see him a few months out of the year but mostly on Sundays for a couple hours. He was my very first love and yes his name is Troy Aikman.
With that said, love is not the word I would use to describe him anymore, more of just a crush. I am so in love with Conrad and could not be happier. I also never believed in love at first sight until I had Hannah. So she is my first love at first sight.

Day 2: My Blog Name

So my blogs name is The Prugh Crew....not much to it other than it rhymed and flowed together. Every blog that I read has a cool title that flows so it seemed like a good fit...My last name is Prugh and we are a crew of 3 so therefore, we are The Prugh Crew!

Day 1

Okay, so I got this idea from a friends blog that I follow...There is this 30 day blog outline that you follow where I will be blogging everyday this month with a different topic. Lucky for me February has 29 days. And if I decide I cant keep up, then atleast I can say I tried. Also if something more exciting comes up that I want to blog about I am going to do that instead of follow this 30 day blogging. :) So, here goes Day 1 with some recent photos and 15 interesting facts.
