Talented Girl

Charlise was chillin' in the pool w/ her sippie cup. That's my little talented girl.

Fun with Grandma

So, Marley finally let LuLu hold her, she is a little mama's girl for sure. She was in heaven as long as LuLu held that watermelon in her mouth. Glad she loves food like I do! Then Ky and Nora made cookies with their Great Grandma...and they were so dang yummy. Mattson said they taste like the peanut butter Girl Scout cookies, but you will have to be the judge. Here is how you do it:

You need Ritz crackers, smooth JIF peanut butter, and melted chocolate chips (good ones).

You smear the peanut butter (the more the better) on the Ritz crackers, and put them together like a sandwich. Then you dip them in the melted chocolate & let them dry. I can't eat them since I am nursing, but it sounds and looks really delicious!

Oh no he didn't...

Of course he did. As I sit in a semi quiet house (Marley is asleep), my thoughts of Ky are haunting me. Life sucks sometimes. I am super stressed, and you can see it in my face (literally, I am all broken out). I hope that through some small miracle Kyree does not get all jacked up during his visit with "K." He is selfish and thoughtless...but that is just my opinion. I find peace through prayer though, thank goodness for that...and for a husband who actually listens to me as I cry it out at night.

Here is a picture of Marley with her morning Pepsi...it helps he wake up. Next is Ky, Nora, and Aunt Kirstynn on the slide at the Balloon Festival...it was white trash central, but very fun. I am still mad at myself for not trying the fried Twinkies, elephant ears, or the funnel cakes...and yes, I would have tried them all! :)

Two more from New York....

I found two more pictures I wanted to post from our trip.  My FAVORITE IS THIS ONE WITH THE ICE CREAM.  We ordered this dessert called the "Titantic" and it was massive loads of icecream and stuff.  An enormous sunday I guess.  The kids were in heaven and loved it.  And they didn't even get sick (believe it or not)!  

Princess

So miss thing loves her dress up..pretty much  every day we go through a few outfits.  She has fun so no complaints here!!

Uh Oh...

So Mikey's crib was part of the crib recall that was in the news last week. Yikes! It's lasted us this long and has too a little longer until we get a new crib. The one we want is on back order... hopefully it will come in within a few weeks.

I'm having nausea pretty much all morning and on and off through the day. ONLY 6 more weeks, right? Ugh. I've been taking a little nap while Mikey naps in the AM so I can make it through the day. Where does he get all this energy?

Wow!  I think I might have finally figured out how to upload Jasmine's digital camera pictures!  So here are some shots of NYC! We loved every single minute of that place.  Exploring the first day was so fun, especially when we found the three story Toys R Us shop with a ferris wheel inside!  Then we wandered down to Central Park and could have spent days there.  We also went to the Empire State building and Jason had bought the "fast pass" to get to the head of all the lines, which ended up being soooooooooo worth it!  The lines were so long there!  But looking out over the city was so amazing! Of course my favorite was when we took the Staten Island Ferry and went past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.  I plan on going INSIDE Ellis Island next time around.  Three days there is not long enough.  Next time!
