Thursday extravaganza

My morning was this....

 

 

My day was this....



 
 

 


My night was this......




I watched my friends three kids yesterday including a baby. It was HARD! And these kids are good! Really difficult to split my attention between all of them. I've never said, "No!" or "Stop!!" so many times in my life! Plus my Freddie was sort of jealous and is really rough with other kids! He loves to tackle-hug!!! It's cute with me but not so gentle on a 2 year old girl his same size. I tried playing with everyone. It was crazy and even dangerous! I tried bubbles outside. That was nuts! They all started climbing dangerous stairs! And on top of it sit got out. Ill tell ya, 4 comes in handy to corner a kitty!! We watched a couple of Yo, Gabba Gabba episodes, which they all loved, them I strapped them in strollers and carriers and we went for a walk.

Man, I really don't know if I can have my recently decided 4-6 kids. I know it's a little more gradual than this but still. I don't think I could do it and not ignore them or have a breakdown. We will see...

So then later we dropped Freddie off at their house and went with some other friends to the Mesa temple and did sealings. I was asking for what I needed to hear and I got Peace. Just feel the peace. It was so great. Plus this month CS and I will celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary. Oh la la. I love him.

Well after the temple we grabbed some Mexican food (delish. Don't even know the the name of this hole in the wall, but it was amazing) then picked up Fred. It had been a rough night for him. His first time away from us not in our home. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything. He was giddy with delight to see us (really ME, sorry Collin), and wouldn't let go of me or stop open-mouth kissing me on the cheek hehehe. I love that bug. My bum bum. My little doll. My bug-a-boo.

He was soon asleep and I had some time with my Collin. I love him so much. I feel like we are so close and getting along so well (marriage ain't always no picnic after havin a babe.) I'm his partner! Seriously! I shook on it!

babes and thanks and 1 year check up!

currently praying for 5 pregnancies!!! Five!! I'm officially baby-hungry! (well I have been for a few weeks...it's this weird thing that just SWITCHED ON! I've never ever felt it before....but regardless, we are ready for number two..to continue growing our eternal family....whenever he or she (and God) is ready for us to have him or her. But MAN, I'm happy for and excited for those five. Love love love love love me some babes. Little tiny babes with their delicious newborn smell heads and snuggley buggley cuddles.)
I already have a darling little man whom I'm so thankful for every day. He's just amazing. Today we we went to the doctor for his one year check-up (1.5 months later due to being out of town plus switching jobs and insurance) but yeah! He's great!!! He's 30 inches tall + 21.2 Lbs wooo Fred! + everything's working and growing and learning and developing wonderfully. He got two shots today: chicken pox and the TB skin test. He didn't even cry this time; just one little wince. I'm grateful for modern medicine and that my baby can stay safe from disease. :)


Okay crockpot corn chowder time!

More jump stuffs

We went to another trampoline place SkyZone yesterday. I recommend it over SkyPark. It's so much cleaner, newer, less expensive, BOUNCY-ER (for real) there's a toddler jump area, and they have delicious frozen yogurt! Only 25 cal per ounce!!! Yes!!!!!

I'm doing well at the no extra cookies, sugar, candy, fast food etc and since there was yogurt, no sugar added, I got a little. And I avoided the delicious looking candy toppings and got granola and almond slivers. It was sooo good!!!!!! Now onto the jumping pictures.....

 
 
 
 
 
 

The babes loved it, we loved it, and we love the DYERS!!!
Oh...and Frederick LOVES Charlie!!!! I think she likes him too. Hehe!!!





Fantastic!

I love this dude: fantastic fatherhood

My last supper

Tomorrow my sister, Ashley, and I are starting THIS, so tonight I made these for my last supper (of fattening junk food)...



Wooooo they were good. And only took an hour!!!! Pinterest recipe success, here!!!!!! I only had one and a half and then we went around and gave some to my moms neighbors-spreading a little holiday cheer.
But tomorrow is the day! We can do it, Ashley!!!!

A little murder; a little mystery

inspiration....






Last weekend we went to a murder mystery party at the home of dear friends, Emily & Micah D. It was set in 1936 and I played Ali, famous writer of very realistic murder novels--a little TOO realistic. Collin played Rog, long lost son and now heir of the late billionaire, Sir Rogers.











It was a night of deception, accusation, and most of all, murder.

Pretty fun stuff.

Oh! And Collin was totally the murderer. Muwahahaha!!!

And I'm super interested in CL Moore after reading up in her for my part. I got one of her books and will start it as soon as I finish Northanger Abbey, which we are now reading for book club.
