A week ago...

Our Stake has a work-out group that meets at the church MWF mornings {helps keep me sane}. So I took my boys last week. We just open up the nursery and let the kids play while we {moms} try to be ambitious.

Tydon was up on the stage, just sitting on the edge playing with a toy. I hurried and ran to the bathroom real quick and when I came out in the hall I could hear him screaming. One of the moms was helping him rinse his mouth out at the drinking fountain.

I look in his mouth and he's bleeding at the gum line on two {one on the top and one on the bottom} of his front teeth. My friend said he tried to get off the stage by himself!!

He tried to scoot off the stage forward and came down chin first onto the gym floor!!
~OUCH~

I could tell he was hurting pretty bad because he was upset for about a half hour and he is usually fine once I kiss it better.
The first day he had a huge goose egg on his chin {I should have taken a picture} His chin was lopsided and looked pretty bad.

This is the day after...
Here is one week later... Still bruised, but doesn't look as bad as I thought it would.
*************************************************************
Gord was suppose to go to AZ for training last weekend, but he ended up having to stick around and worked the weekend here instead. I told my mom and my grandma he was going to be leaving so we decided to have a girls weekend.

Tydon was so excited they were coming to visit.
They came Thursday evening. This is what we had for dinner...
and dessert...
Friday we shopped ALL day! We left the house at 10am and didn't get home until after 10pm.
My boys were so good! I'm grateful I have good shoppers ;) {hope it lasts}
Henson was so easy as long as he was fed every few hrs {gotta love the mall's Mother's Lounge}
Tydon loved grandma pushing him around and finally took a break too
Gord met us for dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory {yummy}
Saturday my Aunt and her two daughters were here to join the party. My mom and great had to go home that day, but we LOVED having them come for a couple days.

Saturday night we ate at Cheesecake Factory {another yum with a 75 min wait}
I love it when people come to visit and I don't have to cook!
Thanks fam for a fun weekend and making us feel special :)

A couple more projects completed

I've heard the transition to a new brother or sister can be helped when they come with a gift so I have put together a little back pack for Tydon from Baby Brother.

I made a couple of things to go inside.

Reversible Cape
Click on link for Tutorial I used
I found this fleece as a remnant and thought they would be perfect
for some pajama pants
I'm so excited to see his reaction... he LOVES football and always looks for the cape to play with at the gym.
(Only 2 more days til Itty Bitty Football!!)

I have been LOVING my new diaper bag.
It actually has more pockets than the other one did - guess it was meant to be ;)
It came with a changing pad, bottle insulator, extra bag and wallet
But it just wasn't complete without a matching wipe case...
I still can't believe the weather...
Great time for
New Peas and Potatoes
Click on the link for the recipe on my Sew n Things blog
This is one of Gord's favorites!! So easy and delish :)

This weekend would be the ideal time for a baby...
Another storm coming in
AND
It's a FULL MOON!!

We'll see what the doc says tomorrow...

A week in Idaho

Well the week started out with this...

I rode to Idaho with Gordon's brother and met my grandma. On the way back to her house we got a flat tire at 10:30pm so we decided to park it for the night and worry about it Monday. Luckily my friend Nikki came to the rescue and picked us up...
Have fun in Germany Nikki, I'm going to miss you!!
On Monday my dad came to help and got a new tire for my grandma.
Tydon and I spent Monday afternoon at the laundry mat getting all the bedding washed and then headed back to my mom's for some deep cleaning...

Tuesday and Wednesday my mom had Dr appointments and we finished the cleaning. She is still just taking it one day at a time, but doing better each day.

Wednesday night I went to visit one of my friends from High School. We actually got pretty close in college and I'm so glad we did. She is such a sweety. She just bought a new house so I went over to visit. I stole her picture from facebook!

Thursday was a crazy day...
Tydon had a runny nose all week and he coughed all night and Thursday morning he wasn't breathing too good. He just wanted to lay around and sleep so I decided I better take him into Urgent Care. They gave him a breathing treatment and took a chest x-ray to see what was going on. Sure enough the PA said he had Bronchitis so I was off to the pharmacy for some meds. My mom had to run some errands so she took the car and I was left with my grandma's car. Normally this would be fun, but not when you are taking your sick kid to the Dr.
On the way home from the pharmacy Tydon threw up in the backseat!!
I was FREAKING out. This car is my grandma's baby and she only drives it on special occasions or to take it to the car wash.
It was almost 5pm and that's when she gets of work so I hurried back to her house, got Tydon out of his seat, stripped him and put him in the tub. I frantically took the car seat out and took it apart to get the cover in the washer and then I was back out to the car with soap and water to start scrubbing. Luckily it wasn't too bad, grateful for leather seats!! I got Tydon cleaned up, dressed and on the couch watching Diego before she walked through the door. I was sweating... nothing like a little excitement for the day.
Anyone that knows "Great" would understand my distress :)

After I got Tydon to bed, our Mother's Day party started.
"Great" got me a pedicure so I could have cute toes for the weekend.
It felt sooo good!! Every woman deserves some pampering.
Then it was time for dinner...
We LOVE artichokes thanks to my Grandpa. He was the best cook!

Is that the biggest piece of crab meat you've ever seen??? It was soo yummy!!
My Aunt got 3 packages of crab legs
1 lobster tail
2 artichokes
She made super yummy Hot Wing Dip too (I'll have to get the recipe)
All of this was for 4 people!!
To cook Crab Legs:

Keep Crab Legs frozen until you preheat the oven
Preheat oven to 250
Rinse the Crab under warm water to get ice off
Lay on cookie sheet
Bake in oven until warm to touch
Serve HOT!! amazing...

We like to dip the crab meat in butter and squeeze fresh lemon on top! YUM!!
I slept very well that night ;)

Tydon was feeling much better Friday morning and excited to go to Mud Lake for the weekend. Gordon's mom is such an amazing person! She is always willing to help where needed. I love her! Gordon's dad is so cute with Tydon too. Tydon loves riding the tractor and the horses with grandpa.
After I dropped Tydon off with Janet, I headed back to my parents to load up and head to Boise with my dad and Brody. We stayed with my dad's sister. After dinner we headed to...
We rode Go Karts for 3 hours!! It was a blast.
My favorite was when all they had left was a double so I rode with my dad and we SMOKED em' it was fun!
We got to sleep in Saturday morning, ate breakfast and headed to the water.
We ski on man-made lakes. There was a Pro Water Skier in town so we took Brody over to ski with him.
Getting ready...
Black and Pink Malibu...
My dad rode in the boat to listen to the critiquing.
After we left Broadside we headed over to Gilbert Lake to pick up my dad's new boat.
We were all so excited to get in the water for the first time this year.
It was 70 degrees with no wind, it couldn't have been better!

Brody was still tired from skiing with Nick so I got to go first.
I was just excited I still fit in my wetsuit!!
Then my dad...
Then Brody... Look at the water!! Glass
Brody is getting so good! I'm pretty sure he's going to beat my dad at one of the tournaments this year... :) I'm glad I got enjoy the water once this Summer even though I'm prego.
Gotta start em young!! ha ha

Thanks family for a fun week in Idaho!!
I'm happy to be back home with my hubby.

Yummy hamburger patties and potatoes

I made these hamburger patties the other night for dinner because all I had in the freezer for meat was hamburger. I looked all over for a recipe... and ended up just sprinkling the patties with Onion Salt and frying them in about 1/4 cup of Italian dressing. When they were done I melted Cheese on top and sprinkled a few Bacon bits to top them off. They were sooo good!

For the potatoes (you can find the recipe on the back of a Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix packet) Cut up 4-5 red potatoes and put them in a gallon size ziplock bag. Add 1/4 Cup of oil and a package of ranch mix and shake well. Place in a baking dish, cover with tin foil and bake on 350 for 45-60 minutes. Yummy!

Also... I learned a new way to cook corn on the cob! Cover the cob with butter and salt and pepper and wrap in plastic wrap, place in the microwave for 4 minutes (per cob) and enjoy! BEST corn on the cob I have ever had!!!

**Let me know if you try any of these and what you think**
