What I've been up to...

Well I'm going to have a baby in a week. It will probably be a C-section like with Dayne, because so far she is doing the same thing. She just doesn't want to come down. NOTHING is happening. I guess they are just so comfy in my tummy!

I don't want to be induced just to end up having another c-section, so I'll be having her next Tuesday at 7:00 a.m., but of course I have to be there two hours earlier. Thats right 5 a.m. I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't even sleep.

Man have I been busy. It's spring break so I have a little bit of a break and I've been making these...

These are so fun! See the tutorial here

Hope you are all having a fabulous spring. Our spring break has been rainy, but I guess we should see flowers soon. Maybe...hopefully.

What I've been dreaming of...

I love to garden, and this is hard as a renter. I live in the country, so I can have a garden and such, but it really isn't mine. Well I have started to change my attitude. I will be living here for probably another year, so I am trying to make my surroundings more enjoyable. Lately I have been redoing flower beds and and making a sitting area. I want to spend a lot of time outside this summer, and I want to enjoy what I'm looking at.
Today I was dreaming of a beautiful yard and new projects for me to conquer. I went to Better Home and Garden to look at all the beautiful pictures. This week is supposed to be beautiful so I know I will be working on the yard. Here are a few pics for you to enjoy!

Easter 2009

We were able to go to two Easter egg hunts this year. My nephew was baptised the day before Easter, so we headed to Wendell for the weekend, but right before we left we had a little Easter egg hunt with Grandma and Grandpa Havens.


Dayne was so excited! He just kept clapping and laughing the whole night.

His basket was a little heavy, so I helped him out. He found Reese Eggs, car eggs, Spidey eggs you name it!
While doing all that hard work, he needed a little snack.

I guess the York Peppermint Patty was a little overwhelming! He couldn't even close his mouth with all the mintyness stuffed inside.

At Grandma and Grandpa Diemart's we had an outside egg hunt. He had all his cousins to combat with to find the eggs. However, he has nice cousins and they were giving him their eggs. He ended up with at least forty eggs to inhale!

This egg hunt had the special Kinder Eggs from Canada. My sister lives in Victoria, so of course we had to have them for Easter! Thanks Jenny! They are actually made in Germany and shipped throughout Europe and Canada. They are a hollow egg of chocolate and inside is a toy that you put together. This year the hot item was a whining top. For some reason we cant get them here. Well these were the coveted item of the hunt, Dayne found four of these. Do you see one strategically hidden?

Between the two egg hunts we have way too much candy. Every time Dayne even sees the Batman Basket, that's right Batman, he reaches and whines for some candy!

I hope everyone had a great Easter! Now I have to take down all the Easter stuff, but I have to admit I really don't want to. I feel like it's just barely Spring.

April Fools!

I found this fun idea at the family fun website and I couldn't resist.

Looks like yummy cupcakes right. Well its actually meatloaf for the cake and mashed potatoes for the frosting. Dayne loved it!

At first he just giggled looking at it. He knew something wasn't right, but he was curious to find out what.

So he touched it to see what the big deal was. He just wanted to test the waters.


OH the wonders of meat and potatoes!

Nick meanwhile knew something was up. He thought I added some crazy ingredient to them. I begged him to just taste them for the sake of April fools!

But it was all in vain, for he is not brave when it comes to tasting strange things...he said just thinking about eating blue mashed potatoes it makes him gag. I guess green eggs are out for next year! Too bad.

Meanwhile Dayne is inhaling in the Ecstasy...

Happy April Fools!!!! Hope you all had some fun out there!

Happy Mother's Day

Hey mom's this is what it is all about. Cheesy grins, slobber, stinky diapers, giggles, nap-time, and all the other fun stuff. This is Dayne on Mother's Day. He was all dressed up in his little suit. I love this little man!! I just can't get enough of him.

April Fools

So it was the first April Fools Nick and I have pulled off and we've decided that this is a much needed tradition. We didn't do anything too bad. We were looking for a fake dog turd, but there are no party stores in Idaho Falls! So we decided to make them out of Tootsie Rolls. Well we put about ten of them all over the walkway and entrances. Sadly Grandpa knew right away it was tootsie rolls and wasn't happy. But we decided to leave a surprise on the toilet!

This was the funnest April Fools we've had. We just have to watch out next year for any retaliation.

Easter

I just took some pics of my little Dayne for Easter.

I love this pic. It turned out so unique. He is starting to put everything in his mouth and biting. Whenever he bites I try to give him his Binky because that's something he can bite on. I'm tired of getting bit all the time. Parenting is pretty tough, and I don't always know what's the right thing to do, but I'm learning and trying new things and seeing what works.
