Happy Mother's Day...everyday!!

First and foremost I want to wish all Mothers and mother figures a Happy Mothers Day!!  So many women deserve a high five today...everyday for that matter.

I myself have multiple mothers, my mom, my stepmom and a b-mom!  I also have my boyfriends mother who I might as well call my mother in law.  Each one of these women has impacted my life some way.  I've butted heads with them, learned life lessons from them, cried and laughed with them. Without them I would not be who I am today, I would not be the mother I am today!  I have a greater appreciation for my moms now that I'm a mom myself even if that's only been for a few months

I hope to one day have my children grow up thinking I'm an awesome mom, someone they can go to for anything.  To know I give my love to them unconditionally, even when they are in trouble.  If my children are anything like me, they'll definitely be in trouble a time or two!! :)

I think it's great there is a day to celebrate moms(and dads) but everyday parents should be celebrated.  Whether they are stay at home parents taking care of the kids or working 9-5 so those kids can have the clothes and toys they want.  Everyday is Mother's Day, remember that so anytime you see a mom, give her a smile and thumbs up.  It will make her day and she'll know she's doing good.  I know I sometimes have to be reminded I'm doing good(esp when Kaden is crying and nothing seems to calm him down).  So thank you moms of the world for keeping us kids(young and old) loved!!

Blueberry Cheesecake cookies...aka heaven in your mouth!!

So my dad and stepmom came over for dinner last night to see the family aka Kaden since they are going out of town for a month.  I've been on a sweet kick the last few days and decided to make some cookies(cause the peanut butter fudge I made the day before just wasn't enough sweets) for dessert.  I looked through all the Pinerest pins I had until I came across this one...Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies!!  They are delicious, and I'm not a huge cookie person but these I will make again...and again!!  (I even had a couple for breakfast but don't tell the kids, I made them eat a banana)

Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies

4oz cream cheese 

1stick of butter

1/2c light brown surgery, firmly packed

2 eggs

2 boxes Jiffy Blueberry Muffin mix(I used 1 box of Betty Crocker)

1 1/2c white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Cream together butter, cream cheese, and brown sugar.  Add eggs one at a time until blended.  Combine muffin mix with the butter mixture and mix well.  Fold in chocolate chips.  Chill for at least one hour.  Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart.  Bake for 13-15mins or until just turning brown around the edges.  Cool for 1-2 mins!!  

They look really fat and fluffy while baking like a muffin but turn out so yummy in the end!!  I'm pretty sure these will be gone before the weekend.  I'm hoping my sweet tooth will be over by then, I'm trying to loose weight after having a baby not gain it.  

Catholic Blowout...aka poopy diaper!!

So last night we went to Saturday night mass with my "in laws" in this cute little church in Elba Minnesota.  It is only one room, so if your child is screaming you step outside not into a cry room!!  On average there are maybe 30-40 people there however last night it didn't seem as full.  I am not catholic(or very religious at all) so I don't know all the rules of church when I go.

In March when we visited and I ended up downstairs(which you get to from outside) because my 1month old scream within the first few minutes of being there.  He's now 2 1/2 months and this time was quite...until he let out very wet sounding fart!!  But it wasn't a fart!!! :)

Oh my Lordy did it smell, so bad that the man in front of us moved up a pew after communion(I'm assuming that's why he moved).  I was going to get up and go downstairs to change him but he was leaking everywhere(including on my sweater...little turd, no pun intended) but ended up changing him right there in the pew.  To make it worse, when I took off the nasty poopy diaper and the edges folded in right on the poop so I couldn't roll it up correctly.  I ended up wrapping a wipe around it then the poopy clothes and sticking it on top of the diaper bag.  I could smell it thru the rest of the service and wondered who else could too(but didn't really care).

God forgives bad smells...right??

Blowouts...

Ok...my son is now 2months old and in that time I've had only 2 leaky diapers. Those leaks left little evidence on his clothes.   Today however (and its only 1130am) he is now in his 4th outfit.  I don't understand what makes today different!!

But wait I do know, we're leaving town tomorrow so I'm doing laundry, packing bags, cleaning house...oh and my parents are coming over for dinner.  I also have to go to the bank and the grocery store all while cleaning up poopy diapers and poopy wet clothes!!

Today is not the day for this...no day is really the day for cleaning up poop.  At least he's not to the age of playing in it yet.  Oh the stories to come once that day hits!!
