Will's Birthday Cake

We ended up having a little get together for Will's birthday during the Super Bowl (a two in one type thing). Whenever Will was asked what he wanted for his birthday, all he would say is "a Rocket Cake". Well that was easy to oblige to since I know an awesome cake maker. So, we had him tell Bj and viola, the best birthday cake ever was made :) Here are some picts of the shin-dig.

Play doh and other things

Well I was brave and let Carolyn play with play-doh for the first time. Needless to say, I will wait a few more months. She is just so different then Will! She puts everything in her mouth - and I mean everything. Will never did this so he was able to play with play-doh at her age. Still fun though and Will enjoyed it.




Doing what they love to do: watch cartoons on Youtube


Will's finished Valentine's craft:

32 Weeks

I had my 32 week appointment yesterday and all is well. My blood pressure was awesome and the baby is moving around crazily - lol. His heart rate is at 127. I am still measuring a week ahead and we talked about size. She said she wouldn't be surprised if he weighed up to 9.5lbs at birth since he is my third and a boy. Yay - lol. I seriously do not get why I have to go back every two weeks when I am having no problems whatsoever! Oh well - thankfully Jake has a flexible job this time around so he can come home to watch the kids while I go.

A Day of Love

I had such an awesome Valentine's Day. What was so awesome you ask? Well it wasn't the gifts - it was the ability to show my family how much I love them. That is the best part - oh, and it was a lot of fun! I was super worn out though. I cooked and baked all morning long! I started off with making pink pancakes with chocolate chips for breakfast. I made 14 and they were so good that they were all devoured - the kids were asking for more! I thought there would be leftovers - yeah - no so much. Then it was on to the brownie swirl cheesecake and since it was Valentine's Day, I made it pink :) With the leftover brownie mix, I made heart shaped brownies. YUM! Now, I know many of you have heard of the Pioneer Woman. Well many of the moms on my mom's forum absolutely rave about her drip beef sandwiches so I made it in the crock-pot (recipe here: PW DRIP BEEF). Oh my - it was absolutely delicious. I felt like Rachel Ray because every time I took a bite I literally moaned at how good it was! I also made Jake one of his favorites - dipped pretzels! They are already all gone so they must have been good. So yeah - I fed my family well that day :) Even Will would say "this meat is so good Mommy" when he took a bite. It was awesome. I love my family so much - they are amazing!!! I hope they know how much I appreciate them and how proud I am of them - I tell them all the time. Here are some picts of the food I put together and of my crazy kids:)

Fun Videos

Here are some videos I took while playing with the kids a week or so ago. Carolyn is getting good at throwing a ball! There is also a video of her singing a song. She absolutely loves to sing. So cool!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Will

My baby boy is 3 years old! What an incredible boy he is. We had an awesome day! Jake stayed home to spend time with us and we went to the Children's Museum downtown. It was a lot of fun and I was just as worn out as the kids - lol. Before we went, Will and I baked cupcakes and he wanted pink ones so we went with strawberry. His daddy and him iced them when we got home with green icing. Oh, and he had to have sprinkles :) We ate lunch at his favorite place - Red Robin! He calls it "Mr. Red Robin's house" - lol. It was just a fun day! Here are some pictures and a video singing to him:
