Voting is now closed.

According to the ultrasound we are going to have a boy, so 70% of voters were right. This is the third baby I've had an ultrasound with, and the strange awe of it still gets to me. To see the little guy in there moving and kicking is such an amazing thing. From the looks of it he will has a large arse like Levi, and we also got a picture of him giving us a thumbs up! I will post pictures as soon as I reconnect my scanner. Well, let's be honest I hate doing things like that, so as soon as JUDD reconnects the scanner. Judd has a name he likes, but I really haven't found anything that I like enough, so any suggestions would be welcomed :)

Help Me Grow

A while ago I donated just over two thousand of the children's books I wrote to a program called Help Me Grow.  We went to their annual family event at UVU, where they were giving out some of the books. Here are some pictures that I stole off of their Facebook page. Kennedy loved it, and selfishly I loved seeing my books being given to families who need them.

The killing of a baby turtle.

I can't believe he is ONE!! It has gone by so quickly.

Always smiling.... Unless he is hungry, then he isn't so sweet.

I was cleaning red velvet cake out of his ear for days. He didn't eat a bite of the cake, he just wanted to play in it.

Turtle birthday cake

I made these turtle cakes for Levi's birthday. I had extra cake so I made him a little turtle (complete with a binky) to smash. I'll post pictures from his birthday soon.

Saving some green

Take a look at this receipt, I think it speaks for itself.
This is what I got today:
27 packages of pasta
8 bottles of Nivea body wash
2 boxes of Ritz crackers
2 boxes cheeze-its crackers
5 packages of Mr Clean magic erasers
1 carton Silk almond milk

ALL OF THIS FOR 9.39! Not a bad day at the store. I was bummed that the tooth brushes I wanted were gone, I would have gotten 16 of them for FREE. I like the fact that I can give extra stuff like that to shelters.

BBQ Cupcakes

This is a fun thing to do with your kids for Summer. I made them for Fathers day last year and gave them to neighbors and friends, but you can make them for any occasion. The pictures basically explain how to make them. I used Swedish fish (for the kebabs), gold fish, hot tamales (hot dogs), and caramels that I cut up into smaller peices. I used crunched up butterfinger for the embers, and black frosting to make the grill marks and the grill. Also you can get silver cupcake liners to make them look even better.

Summer... Please?

As much as I love the winter and the fun stuff that comes with it I can't wait for the warmer days of Summer to get here.



Snowboarding
It was -6 degrees that day.
