Out of the Mouths of Moms

I was reading one of my favorite blogs, and she has a great new blog party where moms write the crazy things we've caught ourselves saying recently. I was to late to link up to this, but I thought it would be fun to write some of those things anyways. If you have any funny ones of your own, make sure to write them in the comments.

"Stickers only go on paper and people, not on cats... because they don't like it."

"Sorry honey, we can't put your baby sister in her crib every time she crys... because that's not how it works... yes, but your bitty baby is different than your sister."

"I'm sorry you'll never be happy again... No you still can't have another bag of fruit snacks."

"Gross, don't move a second, what's on your pants... phew, playdough."

"No, Swiper didn't swipe my shoes, you did honey, where are they?"

"Is that drool or pee, let's guess drool..."

Man how life changes when you have kids, it's the best. :)

Under Construction!

Hi everyone! Please bear with me as I do a little "construction" on my blog! It is definitely time, since my header picture was from when Molly was 1, hee hee(a year and a half and another kid since). I'm not quite sure what I am doing so it is taking sometime to figure out. Hopefully it will look good in a few days. :)

THANKS!

A Great Birthday!

Today was my birthday! I know it may sound crazy, but I love getting older. Birthdays are so happy for me and I love thinking about how lucky and great having lived another year is. This past year was crazy, from being pregnant, to having Nora, to Molly's brain tumor and surgery. I am definitely ready for a less crazy year.

I had a great day, Molly got me flowers, which was SO sweet, she LOVES picking out flowers by herself. Donuts for breakfast (what could be better). I spent the day with my husband who had the day off of work, and my girls which was so nice. And then tonight my mom watched the girls and me and Randal went to a very nice dinner alone, which was awesome. All in all, it was a fantastic day. I'm ready to see what 27 brings. :)

Pomegranate Cooler Recipe

Looking through some recipes I bookmarked I saw this WW's one for Pomegranate Coolers. It looks fantastic, and I can't wait to try one. Yum-O, and only 1 point!

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day!

Thank you to all the men and women that serve and have served our country!

Sew Something Saturday! Dish Towel Apron!

Yesterday we went to Old Navy to check out there great sale. They had all there clearance stuff an additional 50% off! Needless to say, I ended up with these cute "Mother's Day dish towels" for .80 cents a 2 pack!!!!! (who knew Old Navy ever had dish towels) I was so excited, I have been looking for cute dish towels to try out this apron tutorial for a LONG time.

There are so many great dish towel apron tutorials out there, but I knew in my head how I wanted to make it, so when I saw the blog I Have To Say's tutorial, I new this was the one to try. I made a few size adjustments since I was making mine for a 2 year old though.

It turned out SO cute, and was really easy. Molly was already sleeping when I made it tonight, so she will just have to try it on in the morning, I think she is going to love it, and it will definitely get tons of use. Now I just need to come up with someone to make an apron for with the other towel. :)

Happy Sewing! For more great Sew Something Saturday posts, click HERE.

Neurosurgeon Appt.

Here is the new update from our Carepage-

Today Molly had a follow up appt. with Dr. Skarli's office. He is the one who did her surgery. Everything is going great, they just talked to us about how she was doing, and answered my long list of questions. We also got to see all of Molly's MRI and CT Scan pictures from before and after the surgery.(they actually are giving us a copy of all the pictures on a disk!) This was crazy, seeing the tumor really hit home about the actuality of how bad things really were, and how lucky we are to have her here today. We are so blessed for every minute we get to have Molly in our lives, and are just unbelievably grateful that she made it this far and is doing fantastic. God has big plans for her.

Her next MRI is scheduled for July, and after that we will met with Dr. Skarli again to go over the results. Molly will need MRI's every three months for a few years. In a few weeks, she has an appt. with all of the therapists again, to check in on how things are going. But else we have a nice break from the medical world.

If you have any questions about anything with Molly. Her hospital stay, surgery, the actual tumor, JPA, etc. Feel free to ask, or post them in the comments and I will be happy to answer them.

Hoping everyone has a great holiday weekend. We are so grateful to have all of you in our lives, God Bless!
