"Why"

"Why?"

 Is what I hear all day long.

 The funny thing is, is that I love hearing this.

 She says it in her own little adorable Lola little way.

Precious Moments...........

Don't mind the dirty shirt, it's soon to be bath time :)

Happy List

Linking up here for the Happy List:



This week I am happy for the nice weather we got for seeding, even if we have not finished yet.
I am happy for the rain this weekend, my husband is at home and (i can get him to do some odds and ends that have been put off due to him living in the tractor) (don't let him to I am a little happy for this.) hehe But more importantly we get to send time together.

I am happy I have 8-10 weeks of this pregnancy left. I can meet this bundle of love before long, and become a family of 5, with even more love.

Priceless joy that comes to my life everyday:
My kids!
watching them play, hearing them talk to each other --there little conversations are priceless--
I cannot wait to add to this excitement when baby comes. And after that let there be even more babies!!

Rainbow Cookies

Rainbow Cookies

I made these a few weeks ago, one cold afternoon. They were very fun to make!

Play Dough Cookies
* 3/4 cup butter, softened
* 3 ounces cream cheese
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1 egg
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* assorted colors of paste food coloring
* lollipop sticks (optional)

1. In the electric mixer, cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until smooth.
2. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. Stir till soft dough forms. Divide dough into six different bowls. Tint each with a different food color. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Working with each color, shape each color of dough into a snake like roll. For each cookie I used 1 red, 1 orange, 1 yellow, 1 green, 1 blue and 1 purple. Shape the colored like coils into a rainbow shape. Place cookies 3 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheet. Carefully insert lollipop sticks into bottoms of cookies.
4. Bake cookies for 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool and store in an airtight container.

The kids had alot of fun with the colors, and eating them was a blast. It was a very exciting afternoon!!

I have been slacking on the blogging lately. I realize this is not a good idea, I need to capture and remember these moments, my little mind will not remember all of them.

I am Happy for today:

My son played his first "away" soccer game, and he did terrific!! Way to go Hayden!!! Mommy loves you so much!!! (not to embarrass his or anything :)

The weather has been cooperating, my husband who is a farmer on the side of his day job sat in the tractor all day. I am happy for the dry weather. Everyday on the tractor is a day sooner to be done seeding.

I am happy for the wonderful day I spent with my kids. We went to the circus after soccer.  Hayden and Lola were so will behaved (not to brag) ( I was a little worried how Lola who is 2 would sit through 2 1/2 hrs of it.)

I am happy they loved every minute of it, and I had a blast watching them love every minute of it.

Hayden who is shy even got his face painted:

I am happy we went with friends and then went out for supper. Thank you for a wonderful day!
              (I was happy at supper....Momma got what she was craving....sweet potato fries....yummy!)

 Just what this momma bear and her cubs needed, a day out, one on one time shared with friends.

Driving home and seeing two sleeping kids in the backseat, knowing they had a fun day is the best feeling ever.

I can't wait to pop out baby number 3 to share fun times with. 3 more months!!

This makes me truly happy!

Thoughts from a Pregnant Momma

Tomorrow marks 28 weeks of caring around baby number 3. Can this be over already? Crankiness (not the kids...I'm talking about me) peeing, body aching, tiredness. Not to mention my husband is jealous, I pay more attention to my body pillow then I do to him.

Three more months...I'll be holding our newest addition to our family. I cannot (seriously CANNOT) wait to meet him or her......

I have two little helpers that I know will spoil this child.....I am sure Lola will be waiting for the soother to fall out of baby's mouth so she can swipe it up and put it back in. Hayden told me he wants to help me feed the baby, and hold the baby........

I love all the kicking going on inside of me.....except for when I am trying to sleep. Better get used to it, soon there will be no sleep........

Not to mention my kids wanting to lift my shirt up in public to show everyone my belly.....nice.....

I am truly blessed to be having my 3rd baby. We waited a while for this to happen.....every moment is worth it.

We found out we were pregnant while on Vacation in Mexico.

I knew I was NOT hungover from all those all inclusive drinks because I could not even look at them........

I felt queezy and the food turned me off...until I got hungry and then ate like a cow.(yup eating for two...)

Took a pregnancy test with Spanish instruction....(yes I know how to use them.....but still wanted to make sure that the two lines meant positive....)

We told everyone on Christmas day.... it was a wonderful present.......

And now baby is expected to come around Hayden's 5th birthday.....a wonderful present.....

although he did tell me that he actually wanted a real present and instead of the baby.

Happy Parenthood!

Friday Confessional

Linking up and enjoying my Friday Confessional with:

I confess I am watching Bambi right now. I have never ever watched Bambi before....

I confess I am very lucky to have my husband. He just started a new job, after leaving his old job of 15 years. He loves it. I love it that he loves it. He is a happier person. I am a happier person.

I confess it feels LIKE I have a new husband. He had laser eye surgery, and with his new job, he gets to dress up, and gel his hair. (Big change from a cap)!!! I like this new side of him.( After baby number 3 pops out of me, there might be a baby number 4 pretty Darn quick.) hehe

With Mother's day around the corner, I confess I am blessed to be a mom to the most precious children in the world. God I love them. I

also have been thinking about how lucky I was to know my mom when I did. She died when I was 14. Every moment was wonderful, and I thank her for everything she taught and shared with me.

I confess what life would be like if she was still here. I get jealous when I seen someone my age share those mother daughter experiences. I know I will get my share now that I have my own daughter.

That's it this week. Happy Mother's day to all those wonderful moms out there. You guys are the best!! I know your kids bring joy to your lives.
