Homemade icecream, babycarriers, more icecream

I made more icecream today. It turned out perfectly. Homemade icecream + magic shell = Mind bomb. Sooo yummy! I think I might have more tonight...

I passed on two beautiful baby carriers today. I had a weird feeling about them, which is always a good sign to pass them up. I'm sad, but I know if I had bought either one, an amazing obimama would pop up five minutes later and I wouldn't have the $$ anymore. :-/ Soooo tomorrow my name will be in all the obimama drawings!! Pray I get one!

I'm getting Bodey to bed then heading off myself. (After a bowl of icecream of course) Tomorrow is story time :)

1st birthday party, watermelon cake, drained from the sun

We had a combined bday party for Bodey and Jeff for his family today. We forgot to take pictures or video tape. :( His first birthday cake was made out of all fruit--a watermelon decorated with pieces of strawberry, pineapple and mango. I'm SO bummed we forgot pictures.

It was a hot day. I was outside most of the day so I'm drained now. We are getting bodey to bed and then I'm gonna collapse on the couch and eat leftover salad :)

Birthday party prep!

So incredibly exhausted. We did bday party prep all day. Amanda came over and spent the day with us, helping slave away. Her company and help was SO appreciated. The house is decorated cute and our yard is mown/weeded/AND watered!

Bodey did not nap at all today. 8-( That boy. He is crazy.

I am painting my nails, taking a hot bath and going to bed. Busy day tomorrow!

No bonus, rainbow wraps, $10 watermellon and to-do's

Pay day - bonus = irritated me. Of course no bonus. Why would I expect Jeff's job to actually pay us what he earned? Psh. Stupid me.

I got a babywrap today. Its the SAME one I already have. Jeff is right-- "They all look the same." (insert eye roll...)

We spent the day running errands for B's birthday. I spent $10 on a watermellon. :(

Tomorrow we gotta set up, do yard work and clean the bathroom. Fun stuff.

payday, cinnamon roll pancakes, bodey's bad 'tude, garage sale

Its payday!!!!! I'm beyond excited. But irritated that they never let us spend money until the day after depositing Jeff's check. >:-(

We made cinnamon roll pancakes for breakfast. Can we say "Yummmmy?!" They were delicious.

Bodey has had such an incredibly bad attitude lately. Idk where it came from, but its going back hopefully just as quick as it arrived. All my siblings are afraid of him. Psh, even half the adults in the family are scared of him. :( I'm not sure how to deal with him!!

Spent the evening helping my family set up for Shelbie's garage sale. Their front yard and drive way are FULLLLL of stuff. Its insane. Such a blessing!

Lots to do tomorrow, so I'm off to bed!!

flopped icecream, B's fits, rainy weather, and choco chip oatmeal

I tried making icecream today with a milk only base. It flopped. So we went and got some whipping cream. Didn't help. Grrrr. 6 cups of milk and $3 in whipping cream down the drain. I'm trying to freeze it and just make do. But i'm pretty bummed and irritated. How do you flop icecream?!

Bodey has a new little attitude lately. Its ugly. He has mastered the whole throwing a fit thing. :-/ we gotta crack down on his 'tude quickly! He crawled around on the floor tonight with Maycie. Both Maycie and B had a blast. It was cute :)

It rained today--weird weather.

I did more house work today. Took a nap. Ate chocolate chip oatmeal for breakfast.

It was a good day.

Now if only my icecream would freeze before I go to bed so I can indulge...

walked to the library, laundry, making ice cubes, Bodey's fits

Blogger changed their format setting. I hate it. Its confusing.

Today was a long tiring day. I got up and went on a walk to the Library for Story time. Bodey absolutely loved it, I think it will become a weekly tradition. I need to pay off my library fine so I can rent the laddy some fun books.

Random thought...I need to start flossing. I hate flossing.

I did a ton of laundry today (Who knew we had so much laundry?!) I hate folding.

I wanted to make icecream, but we have no ice. So I've been making ice cubes all afternoon. :-/

Bodey is cutting 2 new teeth. He goes from being happy to cranky like this *snap*.  He's a funny little dude. For the past 2 nights he's thrown the biggest tissy fit ever when Jeff leaves for work. Its cute and makes Jeff feel loved, but it makes me kinda mad...he doesn't throw a fit like that when I leave. :-/

Off to snuggle with my sleeping boy.

cleaning like a madwoman

I worked like a madman today. Trying to get ready for B's birthday party. I went through all my cupboards and closets getting stuff together for Shelbie's yard sale. I vacuumed all day. I did dishes. Too many dishes. And now I am tired.

I just ate a cold mango--my craving this pregnancy! And now I'm gonna go crawl my exhausted body into bed and hope for a deep, uninterupted nights sleep.

Bodey is ONE!!!

Happy Birthday Bodey!!! Well, I am officially the mama of a 1year old. *Sniff sniff* I'm so sad. The year went so fast, yet seems so long ago. And wowzers, what a year it has been. Bodey has been a constant surprise to us--good ways, bad ways, ugly ways. Haha. I'm eager to see what this year holds, but I hope it goes by slower than last year did!

We had strawberry shortcake today. Bodey didn't get any. He just got some chopped up strawberries and peaches, and boy was he delighted.

It was a bad day. I cried all day. I'm hormonal. Tired. Exhausted. Hormonal...

But, on the upside. I have a small sliver chance at getting my dream baby carrier. The one i'd be willing to sell all of Jeff's organs to fund! I'll be waiting a week to hear for sure...so cross your fingers and pray it works out!!!

Happy birthday to Bodey!!!! May your year of being 1 be very very blessed!!! XOXO, mama

so darn hot, birthday parties, bath parties

It was so horribly hot today. I whined like a baby. I have no idea how I will ever survive the summer. I need to go swimsuit shopping as soon as possible! I am going to be so tan by the end of the year.

We had Shayden and Shadd's combined birthday party today. It was fun--minus the heat. It was reptile themed, so Uncle Micah came and did a little snake show.

Bodey got to sit on the grass with a bowl of water to splash in. He thourhoughly enjoyed it!

Tonight Bodey, Shiro and Shylie took a bath together. What an experience. Shiro has no fear of the water, and apparently thinks he's a fish who can breath underwater. Bodey wants to climb the side of the tub, and Shylie wants to assist in bathing them--aka drowning them while plugging their nose. EEK!

Bodey turns one tomorrow. I can not believe its already been a year! And boy what a year its been! ;-)

This heat is making me so incredibly grumpy. Pray for Jeff. Pray he has the patience to endure my crankyness and wrath. Pray for some cooler weather for me...and maybe some patience and grace. :)
