sOmE frienDly adviCe

 

I’m the first to admit, I’m a sensitive pregnant person.

But still. It is sometimes baffling, the things people say to us “creatures.”

Especially women people.

Especially women people who have been pregnant at one time or another themselves.

 

Although this is not ellen’s case (obviously), I was still horrified by the things she said in her interview with Jessica Simpson.

So rather than jot down a list of “Don’ts” when approaching pregnant women, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and advise you to just do and say the opposite of everything ellen does and says in this interview.

You’ll be just fine.

 

 

 

 

My personal favorite is when ellen says she does not believe she is real, she feels like it is a joke!!

sOmebOdy’s 6!

Even though he’d been telling everyone he was 6 for awhile, it became official at the end of January.

Feeling energyless, I tried my best to keep the festivities simple.

But sometimes, that’s just hard to do.

We started with the cousin/family party.

 

My kids, who NEVER eat cake or cupcakes, (just the frosting) forced me to throw in the towel and change an age old tradition.

We enjoyed no bake cookies (at bday boy’s request) and hot fudge sundaes in lieu of cake.

 

They were a huge hit!!

(a week later, we were at a cousin’s bday and when my kids were offered cupcakes, I quickly answered “no thanks” for them.  You know, since they don’t like cake.  Well, they ate 2 each that night)

Then we allowed our big boy to pick 4 friends to take bowling at Boondocks.

We let them handle everything, but we were still exhausted by the end of the night.

And for dessert, ice cream sundaes, once again.

Every year the kids get invited to the neighbors’ big birthday bash.  And I mean big.

This year it was at The Classic Fun Center, and since there were nearly 25 kids in attendance, I made my hubby go and be an extra set of eyes so we didn’t risk coming home one kid short.

These kids are lucky to have such a nice Daddio!

P.S. From last post:

Forgot to mention how we pulled out D’s mission cassette tape containing his rendition of “Don’t Take the Girl” that he sung to his girlfriend back home.

We all had a great time listening to it at his expense.

His 30th celebration wouldn’t have been complete without itSmile

We found out the kiddos had no school the Friday and Monday in January after we got home.  Can’t remember why.  President’s Day?

Anyway, it was killing me not to take advantage of the opportunity to do something fun.

So we made a last minute plan and left literally less than 24 hours later for a short little jaunt to St. George with some of our friends.

We had a great trip shopping, eating, swimming, visiting the temple, watching “We Got a Zoo” and seeing

 

the famous red cliffs.

Don’t worry, after this picture I turned the flash off and discovered a whole new world where the pictures actually turned out!

Sorry bout all the pics but I couldn’t decide between them.

The trip was great other than M losing one of his cutest jackets and me getting sick once again.

Or maybe I was still sick.

So I had either the same- or a new- sinus infection, and by the last day I lost my sense of smell.

A couple of days later, I lost my sense of taste.

I decided it was time to ask the doc for a prescription!
