Fun and New Things

So yesterday M had the whole day off. He didn't have to go unload the tire truck or anything. Yay!!! So we took advantage of it and went over to the mall where we looked at books at B&N. V liked the books that had wheels on them. I looked at book written for pregnant wome that was funny. For example One page talked about all the things that pregnant women shouldn't eat or do. Then on the next page she talked about the other things that she also thinks pregnant women shouldn't have to deal with:
-dishes
-a bad hair day
-pre treating clothes
-driving someone to airport.

I was cracking up. While I was enjoying the bookstore M suprised me with a hair cut. He had gone to get one and wouldn't tell me what he was doing. We also went looking for some more plates. I broke one and we only had four left. So we took a trip to wal-mart because we didn't like anything in K-Mart or JcPenny. But before we did that we headed over to gamestop. There was a boy and his mother there. The boy was looking for a game and the mom was getting impatent. He opened the empty display box and his mom said that he had to get the real thing from the counter. The little boy responds to this by replying "Wow mom you REALLY are a smart girl." Well M and I were chuckling about it and so was the guy behind the counter. Little kids have such an innocent outlook on things.

V keeps us entertained all the time. His new thing is to go into the bathroom where he wants to brush his teeth. And he will say teeth. so cute.

At church on sunday I told him to say hello his little friend that is also in relief Society so he tip toes over to her bends down to be at eye level and gives her his best flirty/I'm cute smile.

This morning we had a fight about him eating a tomato. He pushed his high chair over and grabbed it then ran over to the living room to eat it like an apple. I innitially wanted to just get it away from him. He threw a huge fit. I looked at the tomato and saw that he had bitten right into a bruised spot. So I let him have it in his high chair where it wouldn't make such a big mess.

He loves to play hide and seek. He runs into our bedroom and gets in a closet and then sits on the shoes waiting for you to come find him.

I think today I give him some paper and crayons to color with.

OH this morning I made some Cinnamon Toast Blinis and I want to share the recipe with you. They come from the kitchen of my friend Tiffany.

So you need:
1 pkg Cream Cheese softened
1/2 C sugar, divided 1/4 C
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 egg yolk
1tsp cinnamon
12 slices of white bread
3Tbsp butter, melted

mix cream cheese, 1/4 c sugar, vanilla, and egg with a wire wisk. Mix remaining sugar and cinnamon together in a seperate bowl, set aside. Flatten bread with rolling pin. Spread one side with cheese mixture. Roll up. Brush with butter and dip in cinnamon/sugar. Place seam side down on cooking sheet. Serve warm.
400 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

If you try it I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Updates and Babeling

Sometimes I worry that our life isn't interesting. But every day brings new and exciting things.

We had grilled cheese sandwiches and milkshakes for dinner tonight. I thought V would love them. He just wanted slices of cheese while I was making the actual sandwiches. When he was done and out of his high chair, he climbed back in it to get to the stuff on top of the dishwasher.

I had to run to the store for ice cream and when I came home I had to go into the other room and shut the door. V followed after me and when I wouldn't let him in he ran to M and had him come and open the door to be with me. He also needed to watch me make the milk shakes and Daddy HAD to hold him. If M put him down he got sooooo mad.

V decided that he didn't need a bed time tonight. He wouldn't come any where near me when he had his pajamas on. It was time to be silly.

V loves fruits apples, bananas, oranges, candy. Yes I said candy as a fruit. Because sometimes when he wants fruit he says candy.

He likes to wear daddy's shoes. He snuggles on top of his kitty. Poor Adolf.

I've decided that to V all animals are Jojoes. Because we where watching a commercial with dolphins in it and he sat there and said "jojo" and pointed. Horses are moo's though. And Cats are definately Kitties but other than that all animals are lumped into JOjo's.

With some wonderful Christmas money I got my hair cut. Nothing too fancy. Just a trim and layers on top so that the curls weren't weighed out.

I am also pretty bad at keeping up on house work. Yesterday I got all kinds of dishes washed and some (1) loads of laundry done. Today? Nada. Zilch. I don't know what is wrong.

Although I did shovel the walk way, porch, and parking area in front of the house. So maybe I did more than I thought. I do a lot of playing with V. I need a hobby of some sort. Maybe I will go and get some scrapbooking essentials so I can put photos in V's baby book. M does get paid tomorrow... I also have about 3 craft projects going. Ok one and a half. I need picture frames for some portraits and a wall sign to put some lettering on that we received for Christmas. It says:

FAMILY IN PROGRESS!

How cool is that? Then this place would seem even less like a cave in all this winter. It doesn't really.

I got all of the christmas taken down. It was kind of sad. But it is only 12 months until we can put it all back up again. And by we I mean me. I am so reluctant to let Christmas be over that I am contemplating making Cinnamon Rolls again. There is nothing stopping me except my own desire to actually do it. Maybe when I go shopping and get raisins this time. I have everything else I need.

Best wishes to you guys.

Here's to 2010

A new decade starts. Well it started yesterday! But my point is I can't believe that it has been ten years. I was going on 17. My life seemed so complicated back then. But looking back it was really simple. I didn't have to worry about much. Mostly just school and everything that went with it. Including boys. Now I have much much more in my life. Like a wonderful husband who loves my dearly. A fun, energetic child who brings lots of love and frustration into my day. I wouldn't have it any other way. It is our responsibility together to make sure that there is food in his belly and a warm dry place to live. He has wonderful animals to play with and thats just a bonus. We get to make sure he is loved and healthy and clothed.

This next year for us, we hope, brings love and happiness. And now here are the things I want for 2010!!!!!

I want to lose the added 20 pounds I've gained since moving here.

I want us to be in a better house.

I want M to find a job that pays better, but that he also loves.

And most of all I want for us to add another member to our family. So if the others on this list happen then this last one can happen too.

Here's to a bright outlook to a great year.
