My 27th

I had a fun 27th birthday, didn't do a whole lot, but it was nice.
I spent the day watching a bunch of kids, so I was busy, and then we went to dinner with our parents.
I had a surprise sign waiting for me when I woke up!

Dinner at Red Robin, Mr Robin himself was even there!

Ty made this delicious cake. Its a combination that I made up myself and I must say it was the BEST CAKE EVER. Go him for making my dream cake a reality.

Side view

What it was is this:

Vanilla cake, two layers with whipped cream and strawberries in the middle. Covered with whipped cream, sweetened strawberries, and toasted caramelized slivered almonds.

YUM. (Um, I did the almonds myself - its an art)

thats it for now, I am trying to update my posts, I still have 4thof July and my Rexburg trip!

peace

Note to self:

Yeah so I have found that it is SO NOT COOL to watch CSI Miami (or anyother CSI there is out there). Especially when the episode is all about someone kidnapping your baby. And then go right to bed. This equals nightmares.
So this show was all about these con artists to went up to this lady and her baby and started yelling that she (the real mom) was trying to kidnap their baby. So the people around her were holding her back while the REAL kidnappers left with her baby! In the middle of the day! SCARY!

Anyways I have not had that much to blog about as of late... Crystal is, as ever, sleep deprived and therefore like to sleep more than blog.
Here are some fun things coming up in my life that I am looking forward to:
* My birthday and the 4th of July celebrations this weekend (woohoo)
* Going on a fun roadtrip with Laura next weekend
* Camping trips planned with friends
* Family reunions
*Taking the girls to the pool all the time in their fun little floaties
* My husband not having to work AS much at night (this might take a little more time)

ok Joci is now scaling the computer desk so I better go...

Update

Peace

I...

need to post about something else.
Even I am getting grossed out by reading my "poo" posting. Sorry about that guys.
So I am trying and trying so hard to post about the Girls' birthday party on their blog, so look for it coming soon. My bro was in charge of taking pictures and took like 2 HUNERD of them so I am trying to figure out which ones captured the moments the best. Yeah yeah I know its taken me like 2 weeks...
My deadline is to post it before Shannon posts Paisleys' b-day pics! HA

Ok later

poo

Often times, I end up giving the girls a bath all by myself. I feel like I have mastered this feat. Until now.

So after the bath the girls roam around the house naked whilst I lotion and dress one and then the other. Had I octopus arms I could do them both at the same time, but alas, I do not.
Tonight it was Claire's turn to be first. So i am dressing her and talking to my friend on the phone when I look over to check on Joci. What do I see?
POO
Poo all over her previously cleaned behind. Nice. Then I look and see a nice pile of POO on the kitchen floor. SICK. I was told to take a photo of it.. but I could not for fear of my other child stepping into it or exploring it with her hands. EW. So you will all have to visualize in your minds a pile of baby poo on my kitchen floor.

Ahhh the joys.

Peace


PS. There was another bath and loads of disinfectant involved but all is clean now...

I do not condone letting your child stick his/her fingers in the fan...

But this is funny.
So I am in here reading all your blogs and I hear a funny noise. Now, there are fans going in a couple of windows to keep the house cool. In the living room where the girls are playing there is a fan on top of this trunk where we keep blankets and stuff. I go out to see what the noise it all about, thinking they stuck a toy or something in the little slots. Oh no. There was Claire, sticking her tiny little fingers in the fan.
Did it chop off her fingers?? No. Dont you all remember people telling you that your fingers would get chopped off if you put them in a moving fan? Its not true. She was just sitting there with her fingers in the fan enjoying the funny sound it made. She even got mad when I took out her fingers and turned the fan off.
Consider that myth debunked.
Anyways it was funny

Peace
