Summer Break

This is our last summer before school starts for Jaxon! He actually started for a few months back in April and May but this is the official start of school him with a back to school shopping list and a snack schedule and everything!

We've made sure we've crammed in everything we possibly can.

We went and saw Panic! at the Disco. They are one of my favorite bands. Isn't it obvious I was excited?











Brian and I were having a conversation about the "Mount Rushmore" of bands. Top 4 bands you have to see. This is one of my Mount Rushmore's and I honestly didn't think I'd ever get a change to see them. It was hours of glorious, loud music followed by a very hoarse voice the next day.


We also painted our nails. Isn't is the sweetest that he wants to match his mom? Every time that I paint my finger nails he goes "blue nails too!", it makes me happy as a mom that he wants to be like me. Also, fun fact, did you know blue nails means you are Catboy and pink nails means you are Owlette.


We've had several splash pad dates this summer. It's hot in Arizona that if you don't go to the splash pad by 8am you are asking to sweat and get a sunburn. Both boys love it though and I swear Jaxon would like at a splash pad if you let him.

The zoo has been lots of fun. Jaxon got to ride the carousel and of course had to pick the giraffe, his favorite animal but it's one of two animals that don't move. He didn't seem to mind to much though. Carson on the other hand, the moment the carousel started moving he started crying. I sat out a round so Jaxon and Brian could enjoy it just the two of them.

Lastly, we got to visit a new therapy center for kids. They had an open house and so we went to see what it was like and meet some of the awesome workers there. The people were so sweet and really love what they do. Plus most importantly, it seemed that the kids loved the space and all the different things they had to play with and on. Carson especially loved the sensory ball pit. It was hard to leave without any of them.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

2 Year Anniversary

May 15th is our anniversary. For out two year anniversary we went to the Grand Canyon. It really couldn't have been greater. Here are some of the pictures from this past weekend. This was our cabin and the view from our window We learned how to lasso and saw tadpoles Relaxed and enjoyed the view I do have some travel tips for you. If a place if called "Out of this World", you really should stop and try their food. Eat a burger, take a picture, order a cake (try to be better than me and snap a picture before you scarf it down), also, order a pizza to take back to your room. It'll be worth it. Trust me.

Pake

When did life change so much? One kid become two? Stay at mom become stay at mom and worker? Errands become errands and more errands because they are never finished? Seven become seven and eleven? Wait... I may have gotten a little off track with that last one. Life is always so crazy it seems that one you finally get used to it, something changes. That's what pake is. Something you're not used to but it can totally work. A pake: half pie, half cake. Don't worry, we're not talking apple pie with frosting. It's a pie crust with red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting. Now this is a learning lesson. The original recipe I used is from  Lifetime . It was originally made on a show called "Drop Dead Diva". Total chic show but it was fun. The only thing it that whatever world they cook in, cakes rise several inches. Here in the normal world? Not so much. I've modified the recipe slightly below. Ingredients: Pie Crust - Either make your own or ...

Cookies for Two

A lot of you are gearing up for Christmas baking. Personally? I'm not so sure I'm going to do it. Some of you may think that's absurd but I'm thinking it just might be practical this year. I work remotely from home, no workers to give cookies to. No holiday party at work this year, no platter of baked goods needed. I only know a couple neighbors and I actually don't know their names. We just smile and say hi and wave. Plus, of the family that's coming over, only a few of them eat sweets. But lets be honest, can a 31 week pregnant lady go an entire holiday season without treats? No! What this means is that I will be trying lots of "Two Person" recipes. I can't promise you that I won't eat both servings but I can promise it's good news for you! Here is our first recipe: Cookie in a Cup: Makes one mug 1/4 cup flour 1 tbl butter 1 tbl sugar 1 tbl brown sugar 1 egg yolk (if you like egg white omelets you could save the white) 2 ...
