Update

This is the most recent picture of me. From September 22 to October 22 I made a pact with one of my co-workers to not eat chocolate. WHAT!?!?! I can't believe I was crazy enough to think that there was a possibility that I could go that long without it. Well I am proud to say that there was only two times that I actually broke the pact but I did AWESOME!
I cannot believe that I am a mother of a two year old. I cried when he blew out his candles. I am going to be one of those sappy moms. I am ok with that. I have never been happier in my life then to be a mom. And what makes it more special is that I get to raise him with a man who I love!!!!
It is getting to be blanket season again.... I love blankets!!!! I am obsessed. Maybe its because I remember when I was little that I used to pile on the blankets and tuck them in on all sides but where my pillow was and then I would wiggle and crawl into my cocoon of blankets to fall asleep. Ohhh I love that feeling. I am happy that my son loves blankets.I am working on my husband. :)
My Morgan had surgery last week. She had her tonsils removed and she is doing amazing. I am so lucky to be the aunt of seven very beautiful nieces!

Bouncy Place

I was told that I am a facebook junkie. I wish I enjoyed posting blogs as much as I love checking out whats going on in other peoples lives on facecrack. By request of a fellow junkie, here is one of many videos taken of us at the bouncy place on Saturday. We went with a friend of ours and the kids had a BLAST. Lucky me I gave Karl the camera and this is what happened as a result.
We have been busy, but not too busy lately. I have no excuses for not updating this more often, but I will try to do better. On a side note, my baby boy turns 2 in 12 days. I am alittle (OK ALOT) freaking out about it.

APPLESAUCE!!!!

This last weekend my sister and mom made my grandma's applesauce. It was so time consuming and exhausting but it was so worth it. We ended up with 30 jars of applesauce and I still wanted more. Karl is happy that I finally used the equiptment that he bought me a few years ago. I just never had the space to can and now I am still itching to make more.
I made applesauce with my grandparents a few years ago and when I came back with my load everyone in my family wanted some. Don't worry I shared, but now my mom and sister know how to make it so everyone can make as much as they want. Thank you Debbie, Mom and my beautiful nieces for making the sauce with me!

My talented friend

I got this in the mail today. I was so excited to see what creation was made for me for my birthday. I am so proud of my friend, you know who you are, for using her talents and creating this bracelet that I love. Thank you!!!!!!!
We also celebrated my birthday by going out to Ocean Shores. It was AMAZING. I loved every minute of it. Even if it did cost me an extra $500.00. Anywho. I forgot that the pictures are not on this computer so check out my facebook pictures, Karl got beautiful pictures of the beach and ocean with the camera. Thank you to everyone who made my birthday special!!!!!

New Smile, Old Smile

New Smile.

Old Smile.

Back when I was in the Merrie Miss Class, over 15 years ago we played the trust game at church. I was blindfolded and I was directed around the church. At one point I was walking asking when I was supposed to stop or turn and then all the sudden I hit the wall and my front tooth broke in half. I had a cap put on the tooth and just recently my tooth started to have problems again. I went to the dentist and he said that there was no way to save the tooth. He pulled it and then gave me a retainer with a fake tooth on it called a flipper. I think that it looks better but my mouth still hurts.

Goofy pictures. Goofy smiles.

Relaxing days. Hanging out with family.

My brother Louie came into town and we were busy visiting with him and his little family. We spent alot of time at my parents house, I fell down and twisted my ankle. I had a nasty bruise on my arm. We also went to Snoqualmie falls. Ty and I went down to the bottom and then back up with Debbie and her girls and Louie and his girls and Mel. My parents waited at the top. I should have just waited for everyone to come back up but I wanted to be with everyone as much as possible.

We have been so busy the last few days. My brother Louie came into town with his family. We have been trying to get as much sleep as possible but we have not wanted to leave my parents house. I have been not doing much lately up to this point. I have no excuse, but I haven't done much with my time besides bake and clean my house. If you want to go do something together, just call me and we can get together.
