Cupcakes

On Monday morning this week Grant was watching Caillou. If you have never seen Caillou it is about a little boy that is 4 years old. He has a traditional family with a mom, dad, and a baby sister. In some of the episodes his grandparents are even involved. Mike and I really like the show because of the traditional family that is portrayed.

Anyway as Grant was watching Caillou, Caillou started taking about cupcakes. Of course Grant wanted cupcakes after that. So I told him we could make some cupcakes for FHE. He got so excited and said "Ok".

After dinner that night, I pulled out all the things to make the cupcakes. Grant loved it. He pulled up a chair to help. I let him pour in the oil and the water. He wanted to help with the eggs but of course I wanted to be able to eat the cupcakes without egg shells.

30 Weeks....

Wow, I know you are all thinking where has 30 weeks gone. Well some days it seems to fly by but others it just drags on. This pregnancy has been a different than my last pregnancy. With Grant everything ran pretty smooth other than I had a cold for pretty much the last 8 weeks of my pregnancy. However, with this baby I have had a few minor problems that have required me to call the doctor's office way too much. I have had to increase my appointments just as a precaution too.



Everything seems to be fine and I haven't had any problems for the last month. The doctor told me to take it easy so I tried to do just that. I have been trying to cut things out of my life and pretty much not work my head off. Mike has been a great help because he has really picked up the slack. I don't know what I will do when I have to take over real life again, maybe Mike will just keep doing what he is doing (cross our fingers).

Well, here are a few pictures of me at 30 weeks.

Grant saw Mike taking a picture and wanted to "cheese" that is why is is now sitting on the couch. (Also, sorry that it is fuzzy - most of the picture's Mike takes are fuzzy.)

Favorites...

Well it was hard to pick a handful of pictures that I liked because they all turned out so great.

I had some great black and white photo's that I will probably print and frame too. But I only could share a few pictures.

Thanks Jenna for some great pictures (http://blog.jamesonphotos.com/).

2 Year Old Preview

Ok, I just got this from the photographer. I couldn't wait to post because I thought it was such a great photo. I laugh every time I look at it.

I will post more once I get the disk from her this weekend. For now you just the teaser (but isn't it a great teaser).

We might be in for it....

Ok, Grant is a total movie watcher and knows what movie he wants to watch. This morning while in the middle of watching PBS he decided he wanted to watch "Balloons". It has been a few days since he has watched it, so I wasn't completely sick of it yet.


As I was eating breakfast sitting next to Grant watching balloons he started quoting the movie. Yes, at the right time and at the right places. Once he would quote it he would like at me with a big smile on his face.

I continued my morning getting ready while in the other room I could hear Grant continue to quote the movie.

What kind of parents are we that our 2 year old can quote movies? He is 2 and can barely talk but he know exactly what is coming next in the movie. It looks like we need to watch ABC's more.
