Do not touch her Corn on the Cob

 TayBug LOVES Corn on the Cob!! tonight at dinner she would not let it go even to eat the rest of her food, she held it in one hand with a death grip and drank, or ate with the other.

from one to another

So for the last two years I've been working in Relief Society (an organization within the LDS church for women 18 and older) It's been an adventure planning activities, cooking class, and serving the sisters. However this adventure as come to an end and now on to the REAL fun. I have been asked to serve in the nursery. Eight precious toddlers ranging in age from 15 months to just over 3 years old.

I have been doing lots of research and found several fun sites with great ideas to use in nursery or with my own children, to keep the kiddos learning, entertained and me sane.

Just in case anyone reading this could use those sites I'll list a few of them here.

He LOST It!!!

Handsome finally lost his first tooth. It's been loose for months, last night I could have pulled it out if he would have let me but he wasn't ready yet. So today while we were at a 5k his tooth came out, where and when exactly is still unknown he just yelled " I lost my tooth" When I looked at him he had a mouth of blood and a great big hole where a tooth use to be. He doesn't know how it happened and he gave a new meaning to "He LOST his first tooth."

Happy birthday love

my love spent his birthday at work and then taking a test. this has not been a good year for birthday relaxation. it's okay he was still spoiled with a BSU hoodie that he loves!! he opted out of a birthday cake this year so we had brownies a la mode! it was a pretty good day all and all.

Secret Santa

For the 6th year running we spent our Saturday baking, dipping, frosting, wrapping, sneaking, knocking, running, hiding. So much fun we were quite impressed with our little helpers this year they did almost all of the delivering on their own. so much fun!!
