Student of the month

Casey got student of the month in March. He got it for a recognition of Trustworthiness. We went to a small assembly to recognise the students of the months for the last quarter. I'm so proud of you Casey, good job. Tyler said he got student of the month a few months ago but forgot to give me the paper so good job Tyler too. :)

It's gross, but i'm posting it anyway

I heated chili in the microwave and did not cover it. I know bad idea. I didn't think I could stand having my arms up and at such an angle long enough to clean this mess so I asked Chad to clean it for me. He said OK and then he didn't do it. A day went by and the chili was cooked on more as we continued to use it. More days went by and I got a lecture about how if I covered the bowl with a napkin it would not have splattered. Weeks went by and the chili was now really cooked onto the sides and crevasses of the microwave. Then one day I realised Chad works very hard and even when he is home he is still working hard on his own business. If I wait for him to clean the microwave it may be months and months, so I got a bowl of water and a stool and climbed up there myself and cleaned the microwave.
It is beautifully clean now and it didn't kill me and even though he may not notice I cleaned it for him :) or really for myself because I could have done this myself in the first place. At first I refused because I had asked him and he said he would, so out of principal I was not going to do it. In the end I was glad to do it and glad it got done no matter who did it. Thanks babe for all the work you do for us out side of cleaning the microwave. You are so busy and I want you to know I recognize your efforts and am grateful for them and also for putting up with me for these last 8 months :)

Pure Joy

One night we got soda in cans, not something we usually have. after we were done Aiden was stacking them up and blowing them over. He would get so excited when they fell over. I loved the look on his face and had to get it on camera.

I love this kid for his joy of life. He is always so excited for things. Everything is his FAVORITE!

Every movie, every present he opens every toy. I can't help but smile when he expresses his joy constantly its contagious

Midnight Show

Some friends of mine were taking their girls to the midnight premier of Alice in Wonderland. I was not going to go since I didn't think I would last past midnight, but at the last minute I decided Casey would get a kick out of going so I decided to tough it out. Chad didn't want to see this movie any way so when else was I going to get the chance?

Casey, Allie, Savanna

The moms of the year. this is the first pic I have seen of myself recently... man I'm huge!

Casey loved that one mom snuck in some silly string and asked her to spray it in his hair. boys! We enjoyed the movie. It was not a crazy as I expected it to be. It was very visually stimulating and I enjoyed it a lot. Casey also enjoyed himself and was pretty good the next day. Any time he started to whine or fuss I would just look at him and he would take a deep breath and compose himself before continuing on with what he was about to say/complain about.

Cravings

I don't think I have craved any ONE thing during this pregnancy. Sometimes one particular think will sound good and I'll have to have to have it, but these have been sporadic things. I will say though that it is not a good idea to go grocery shopping while hungry. On this particular trip a pastry suddenly sounded good. I perused the bakery section and just could figure out what was going to hit the spot, except that it was to be a pastry of some sort. I continued shopping and came upon the Entenmann's display....A cheese filled coffee cake. PERFECT! Oh yummyness! Now to finish shopping. As I continued shopping, the need for the cheese filled yummyness got worse and worse. Finally check out. I made it to the car and immediately ripped into the box. I of course had no knife or fork for cutting in to the pastry so I had to just rip a chunk off.
One chunk was not enough...by the time I got home I had eaten a third of the whole thing. It didn't last more that another day. Oh it was yummy and it hit the spot. Till the next craving.

Spring brake continues

I have no pictures for this post, but just some catching up and here is what is going on. you know boring stuff.

So far it has been......OK. The kids do well in the morning and then lose it in the afternoon time. They constantly want to go to the park or play with friends. the boys are dog sitting and that gets us up and going in the morning. I didn't plan to far a head as far as play dates go so Tyler was really disappointed in my abilities to set any up at the last minute. Between ppl out of town, not home or already having a play date he had to go without for the first couple of days.
My sister and her kids came to visit and spent the night Wed so that helped brake up the week.

this morning Aiden said he wanted to go sit on the toilet, he dose this every so often so I asked T to put him on the toilet and then I immediately forgot as I continued to work on the computer. Until Aiden came up to me a few minutes ago and "no poopy" oh yea he was sitting on the toilet. so I go into the bathroom to check and has filled the toilet with the practically new roll of toilet paper! as I grab the garbage can and remind him he is not supposed to use so much he flushes! Luckily there were indeed no poopys in the toilet because as fast as I could I grabbed the pile of TP before it went down the drain and clogged the toilet. Gross i know, but i certainly did not want to deal with a clogged and overflowing toilet either.

So on that note spring brake continues and it is almost over. My car had the malfunction indicator light on for the last 2 weeks and it is now fixed. YEA! and now i have to gather all our tax info to get that over with.

I have four weeks left till Brody arrives and I know it is going to go by fast. I have the wedding cake to do next week and then Tyler's Baptism to plan for the 10th. it all be crazy and baby will be here before I know it.

Cake !

It's been a while since I did a cake so when my sister in law Tiffany asked me to make her daughter Jacey's birthday cake I figured it would be a good trial run since I also agreed to do my cousins wedding cake at the end of March. Jacey wanted a Tinker Bell cake so here is what I came up with. I know...its cheating to put a Tink toy on instead of making her, but I was not feeling quite that ambitious. She loved it so that is all that matters.
