Weekend Review: The Most Boring Weekend...

The weekend was seriously a bore... It was kind of nice though. My allergies have been acting up... WAY UP like cant sleep well, bloody noses, headaches and a million sneezes acting up. It's the worse cause I can not take most allergy medicines. ANYWAYS this post wont be full of complaints. I PROMISE you that's it. Friday I was spoiled. My visiting teachers came over and gave me lots of treats (my house was clean this time thank you!), then at work I was given even more treats.

And this is after Jon got into them if you notice half the cake is gone and
quite a few cookies and rolls are gone too.... ( I may have helped a bit)

We went to Applebee's for my favorite queso dip and it just so happens that my sister was working that night. Her and her Fiance both work there as servers and were on duty which explains why they were not answering our plees of friendship. When they got off we went to their house to watch a movie. Super fun but bad choice for my sneezing nose. They have 3 dogs who love attention and apparently I am quite allergic to them. One roll of toilet paper later the movie, 30 Minuets or Less was over and actually pretty good.
Saturday was spent lounging around. We have started watching DR. Who on Netflix and it pretty much consumes our free time now... For those of you who don't know what DR. Who is... Look it up British T.V. show and it is quite entertaining. We did decide to venture out into the real world and take advantage of the nice weather... AKA not 100 Degrees outside. We took Ruca to the Dog park finally and it was worth it... LOOK at this Sunset...

Sunday Was spent at church teaching my little ones, well little one. This week I only had one little nugget, and let me tell you it was NOT easy. This little man is ALL boy he loves to talk, hates to listen and can't sit still for the life of him. I use pictures a lot in my lessons and he kept saying "put that away, DON'T use those, I hate those" Seriously! So after going through everything I had we still had 45 minuets left... UHHHH So we went on a walk and I made a game up thinking that should take a big chunk of the time up... NOPE  When we got back there was still 30 minuets left. So I did what any good teacher does and I called for my Hubby. Jon is so adorable with little ones, especially crazy boys. That crazy little nugg just sat there staring at Jon until he finally walked over grabbed the chocolate I had been bribing  giving him and handed it to Jon. That was it, it was love.

I just have to share one quote from this silly little boys ramblings.... While talking about something COMPLETELY  unrelated he interrupts...

"When I grow up I'll be a HUMAN!" He was seriously so excited about this I just had to let him know that he is in fact a human right now, in which his reply was " Not a real Human. I'm just a small human But Ill be a BIG Human when I grow up"

So there you have it my oh so boring weekend that I some how managed to write a giant post about... Congrats if you made it through :)

Linking up with Sami, Molly and Brooke

Weekend Review

Hey Everyone! I am linking up here. I didn't take to many pictures of my self... aka none... But I had a fabulous weekend. My cousins little boy turned one this week so we spent a lot of our time with him. He is seriously the cutest little thing. My Sister and her Fiance make amazing cakes and they made Little Kody's first cake. Isn't it the cutest thing?

 Kody was not afraid to dig right in but right after was not very happy with the results... 

So maybe I took one picture I had just come from work and school all day so I'm a little gross...

Don't judge me :)

 Saturday we spent the day with some of our good friends from out of town. We had a BBQ and we were tasked with bringing the desert (my friends know that I a horrible cook so this is our permanent assignment around these parts). Jon wanted to do something different so we combined our baking powers and came up with this amazing cake...

Better Than Sex Cake

It is seriosuly so easy and incredibly delicious we found the recipe here... I don't know if it really was better than sex BUT it was pretty darn close....

INGREDIENTS

• 1 box Devil’s Food Cake
• 1 8-oz tub cool whip
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 bottle caramel ice cream topping
• 1 package Heath bar pieces (found in the baking aisle by the chocolate chips)

DIRECTIONS

1. Cook Devil’s food cake in a 9 x 13 inch pan, according to package directions and let it cool.
2. In a large bowl, combine caramel and sweetened condensed milk.
3. Using the end of a wooden spoon, poke holes in the cake every couple of inches. Alternatively, you can use a fork to poke holes.
4. Pour the caramel/sweetened condensed milk over the top of the cake so that it fills all of the holes.
5. Spread Cool Whip over the top of the cake.
6. Sprinkle Heath bar pieces on top.
7. Enjoy! PS: Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Today was just a great Sunday. We changed how we are teaching Sunday school and it has just made Primary an all around better experience. I may have explained this before but if  not I will again. I teach the sunbeams...otherwise know as the 3 year old's. I think this is the calling that each newly married couple is required to hold.... like a right of passage into married life as a LDS couple... But really though I am going through the list of all of our married friends and they all have callings in Primary or nursery... 

Maybe it is to show all us newly married peeps that we just NEED to have little nuggets of our own. Personal I think this would have an adverse affect on most. 

Other peoples kids are so bad sometimes especially when you through them in a room with some fresh faced newly wed. Luckily I am now fresh faced newly wed (ok maybe I am) but I have done my time in the class room... teaching kindergarten and first grade at an after care for 4 years and I wont lie when I was 18 I had the primary class from... um... whats a nice way to put this... the primary class that seemed to exemplify what highlight real of Nanny911 might look like, 

 but that is a whole different post. 

This post is about how stinkin' cute my 3 year old's right now are. 

Our lesson today was on Friendship. Wanna hear something cute ask a 3 year old how they know that Jesus is their friend. Best thing I have heard all week. Until I heard this...

This is my screen saver on my phone...

AWWW so sweet and tender right? Not thorugh the eyes of a 3 years old. She go my phone and was like "THAT'S GROSS hes kissing you on your wedding!"

All I could do was laugh. I asked her "Haven't you seen any pictures of your parents kissing on their wedding day?"

She answers...

NO!! Thats sick... Oh wait... One time I walked in to my Mommy's room and saw it... They were kissing on the picture and I was like...

THAT'S DISGUSTING! 

She made that face and I laughed so hard I made her do it again... Of course she was happy to do it. I am in love with my class :) So there you go kissing disgusting... but of course she wanted to look at the picture 12 times through out the lesson. 

Oh and if you ever want a lesson in what parents are teaching there kids at home just ask them what one of the 10 commandments are... 

Here are the 10 commandments according to Cocoa Wards Jr Primary

1. Don't shoot things for fun- This ended up in a 5 minuet conversation about when it is OK to shoot things...

2. Keep the Sunday Holy

3. Jesus healed Moses with mud on his eyes..

4. Don't say Gods name when you are being evil

5. Don't hit your brother

6. Invite your friends to church

 (but my only friend who liked church

 moved to South Carolina and that's to far to come to church)

7. UHHHH Jesus!!!

8. The temple... Moses built it...

9. Don't worship golden cows, TV or being pretty.

10. Dont kiss

  

Thankful Thursday

Why is it that Thursday is ALWAYS the longest day... it is the most stressful, busy day of the week. This is why I like to take the time to write down a few things I am truly thankful for... If  I don't do this I tend to feel WAY more stressed and frazzled.  SO here is goes....

1. Jon and I both got off work early... Love the extra hours together.

2. I won a give away!! Modern Modest Beauty is the best!! I got tons of goodies.

3. The cutest little nugget ever is turning 1 today and we get to eat cake and pizza...

Who doesn't like that? 

4. I got paid for Labor day and didn't even work an hour.... 

5. Caught Hubby Jon watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians... 

Baby Fever

 Does anyone else just look at their hubby and think "OH MAN we are going to make the cutest offspring?" Cause let me tell you I sure do. Especially when I see this...

  And then Pinterest shows me pictures like this... And I just cant handle all the cute that is in this world!!!

I can just picture our little tan babies, maybe even one with blonde hair? A girl can dream right?  But for now dreaming will have to suffice. I will just have to imagine what our little nuggets will look like one day because there is just no way I could handle that much joy while studying all night for finals. Until then Pinterest and borrowed babies will tied me over.

 

How to Live Like You Are in Kindergarten...

This week at work I have been with the brand new kindergartners. They don't actually start school until Monday so I get to spend a few extra days with these little guys. They have so much energy and excitement for life, I wish I lived like this every day. So here are a five things I learned from my five-year-olds.
1. Laugh at everything. Seriously, this is my favorite thing about them. The littlest things make them laugh out loud and I am pretty sure every time it happens a year is added on to my life.
2. Go all out. When they believe something there is no convening them it is wrong. They fight, love and laugh with everything they have.
3. Play like you will never get to again. Every minuet they get to play is the best time of their life. Why cant we all live every day like this!!!
4. Color outside the lines. So maybe the Cinderella and Prince Charming have blue faces and red eyes... they are not afraid to color things how they see them. They are not held back by how things "should be".
5. Don't Be afraid to cry. Some time tears are needed, they are good, and if we let ourselves express our feelings their would not be some much pint up stresses in our lives.
