Just some random

I am baby sitting.... Can you believe Kerri from Messes and Mudpie's let me baby sit her youngest for a few hours.... and here I am blogging.... It's ok.... 1. she is bring me a salad from the Baijo's SO YUMMY. and 2 her son is probably going to give my son a cold, he is coughing and sneezing all over my son......... Its a good thing we are friends. I swear Micah was a popular name and I think Kerri and my friend Stef wanted to name there son Micah but I won because I had my baby first and that is hub's name, how weird would that have been if they both named their son's after my husband...... *raised eyebrow*

So son is allergic to the wheat and after researching how to make the Gymboree bubbles... I found out that all kinds of crap contains wheat like bubble mixtures and dish soap..... WHAT...... yeah well come to find out if you don't ingest these things nobody really cares or bothers to research and test said products and they can't guarantee that that products are gluten free.... Good thing son is not deathly allergic to wheat.... Its something to think about. Also most toothpaste are gluten free.

Got the website registered! And got my graphic buddy slaving away for me. Joan is so great to work with... I crack the whip and tell her what to do and she does it...... Don't Pumpkin Snickerdoodles sound heavenly.... Yep they do. thats a hint. Have a good day.

Thankful Thursday!!!

WOOT WOOT!!!

A little tidbit to get you to the weekend. I know you guys always die for this post! DIE I TELL YOU, DIE!

1. I am thankful I am not Jon and Kate... do I even need to start, I will not. I am also thankful that I have stopped watching their "show" and reading articles about them. GAG. sorry your 15 minutes of fame are OVER. Here is your gift bag PLEASE LEAVE.

2. Little Ms. Blogger! I really am glad she found me and adopted me as one of her own. I email her she responds promptly. Its great. She is the best! I also wish her best of luck in everything new she is doing. ;) I wish her sister read my blog THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

3. Son will be 2 on Sunday. Ok this week has been VERY emotional for me. Friend blogged about her baby turning ONE, I went to look at son's baby pictures. Ugh I need to stop before I cry. OK HE IS TURN 2 THANK YOU JESUS. I have pretty much cried at least once everyday this week.

4. Cousin Aaron. Oh it was really nice to have him stay at our house before he went to do his missionary work. I have mixed emotions but still I was emotional. He will be gone for 2 years and we won't get to see or call him just email. I think this would be harder if son was older because you know him and Aaron are BFF now. He can say Aaron now. Ok I need my hanky.

Only 4 this week I am to stressed over the partieS, son growing up, blogging and If I am good enough to blog, time to blog... you know just all those womanly things we think and worry about. BUT we did do some scripture study with Aaron.... GASP. And we studied about how Christ is happy and will be with if we are doing what we wants us to do. Right now I know he wants me to be a mom. And that if he wants me to be a mom then he will be with me and help me know the things I need to do and say to be the best mom. What a comfort those scriptures are.

So pfft #5 scripture study.

4. snacks and junk food

6. that my husband has a job. Yes thank you. I love it and yet I am humbled by it ever day and know that we are lucky but I still live in the fear....

7. KristinaP .... Thank you for always leaving a comment and validating my life. It does mean a lot to me that sometimes you are the only that comments on some of my post. For that I am forever grateful and that means I will pretty much do anything you ask me to do, but only once. ...... us crazy folks have to stick together!! You should check out her blog, Its WAY better than mine.

The things I do.....

Dear Son...

I did that for you... Yep you know last week I took you to the Mommy and Me swim class it was good. Thank you for not being the screaming cry kid, I really appreciate it. I don't think we had as good of a time as I thought we would but we did it. Maybe it was because you ruined my planning of swimming, lunch, nap.... It was a perfect plan that did not happen. But such is life Its over and we ARE doing it next year because you need to know how to swim, its just a life skill. Your father and I can swim but we are no olympic swimmers.... Maybe we are Olympic curlers..... So anyways... I bet you are so confused at the pictures. Did you notice that one hand my finger nails are painted BRIGHT red?? and the other is not? That is because swim teacher thought it would be helpful for you to see my hands underwater better. OK its been like 5 days and I really need to buy some nail polish remover. Son I did that for you and you don't even care. Well its cool, not to many other people have cared either because only one person has said something to me..... Maybe people are scared, maybe they don't notice or care. But when asked a question I tend answer a little to much that is probably why people don't ask me things. Thanks for being a good kid.


Love always,
Mom.

On to more random.... I got a blog award..... IT IS SO FREAKING CRAZY. I may cry. I will probably post more about it tomorrow when it has settle In and I can write something really really good.

Also I don't know if you have noticed but I learned how to turn a word into a link. I have 3 in this post.... hehehehe Also don't forget about my Scentsy give away..... Holy moly I may actually have to buy a warmer and give it away to someone.... I knew this would happen.

Birthday Blues...

Dear Readers,

I need some help on planning Son's 2nd birthday... I know the master has come to the student for help. =( So what is troubling me... I have a theme... Dinosaurs... I have a place, date and time... I have the menu planned. I am even having TWO parties... Why two?? One for family with more of a dinner. Then one for friends with ice cream and games. I thought this would work out better so we could visit more and not have all the awkwardness of my friends trying to converse with my family. And not have a HUGE party with 50 people there....

So now that that is out of the way... HERE IS MY BEEF.... Who to invite and why.... So I live in the land of Utah, home to families with 7 kids all with different degrees of ages.... Its probably nothing to invite half a family, because really do 10 year old girls want to come to a 2 year old BOY dinosaur party in the park?? Probably not... I hope. My plan is to invite all my friends and their children under 5 so I can handle the amount of kids and not blow my budget on trying to feed and give gift-bags to 20 kids.... Is this cool or am I just going crazy and over reacting? Does it not matter??? It does to me because I don't want to leave any out and make someone feel bad.. Just like the way I feel bad when I see someone's birthday party on their blog that we were not invited to... I know I know they probably have the same problem I do...

That is why I came to you my blogger friends because I want your thoughts and ides on the birthday party... PLEASE do not put Oh he is only 2 he won't remember... You know what I want to be able to show him pictures when he is older... So just because you feel that way and don't want to explain to your kids when they are older that you did not feel like and/or did not have the money to throw them a party when they were 2... Does not mean you can take it out on me and my blog.


XOXOXOXOX,
Leah
