Father's Day weekend

Hope all the Dads out there had a great Father's Day. Ben and I enjoyed time with Shawn and family.
Saturday we went to the company picnic for a little bit but it was raining pretty good and they were taking down the tables and whatnot so we left quickly. We decided to go to Topeka to take a card to my Dad. For those of you who don't know, he died last year and part of his ashes are in a wall in a cemetery in Topeka. We also picked up a card for Grandpa and dropped it by his house. When we got there, my aunt, uncle and two cousins were there. We all went out to dinner and to the cemetery and just talked. It was so nice to see them. My cousins are growing up so quickly. When I hugged my uncle goodbye, I didn't want to let go. It was just so nice to see them all again. I've really missed them. I missed my Grandpa too and I think we'll need to go by his house more often.

Sunday, Ben and I got up early. We left Shawn at home to sleep in and we went to Walmart for his gift and stuff for breakfast. We came home and I made him french toast, sausage patties, and fresh fruit salad (cantaloupe, grapes, strawberries, and peaches). We all went to his parent's house after a really late brunch and swam, had a wonderful dinner, and all just kind of hung out laughing and having a good time. It was such a wonderful weekend. I hope Shawn enjoyed it all.

So, this morning, I got up to fix some cream of wheat for breakfast and when I came out in the kitchen I noticed something on the floor. I picked it up and went on my way about the day. I did the dishes and got started boiling water for breakfast. I put the water on the stove and noticed another something on the floor. I picked it up with a napkin and realized it smeared. I then realized what it was. I turned around and behind me was a huge pile to clean up behind me. Ben came out into the kitchen with his diaper barely on and he had rubbed it all over his legs. Of course I cleaned up the mess and he got a bath. It was extremely disgusting but as I was gagging and scrubbing to get it off of him, he was laughing hysterically, which made me realize this whole situation was actually kind of funny. Kids can really create some of the worst situations, but also help you get through it with a smile.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Petty

This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...

Happy Homemaker Monday

The Weather::: Right now, it's 30 degrees.  It's supposed to get up to 40 today though. Right now I am: Sitting at the kitchen table with Scotland in my lap.  Rylie is playing with a remote control My Little Pony scooter toy on the kitchen floor. Thinking: How busy today is, what all I need to get done, and the walk I want to go on. On my reading pile::: Right now, I'm reading a book my sister-in-law loaned me called Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard On my tv::: I've got several shows to catch up on, just not sure how I'm going to fit TV in today.  Maybe during nap time. I've been really enjoying Super Store lately.  It really reminds me of The Office but in a Walmart type store.  It's nice to just laugh and laugh.  It's a lot easier to watch vlogs while I work on the iPad. Something fun to share::: This weekend we went to a birthday party for a little girl we've known for a couple of years and became friends with her family...
