And so it's done....

So, yup, Citizendad is now onthe couch being iced up.
It went well, nothing was snipped that was not supposed to be snipped:o)
He's getting crap from all his guy friends though, but it's all in good humor because a few of them are next....men are soo funny.
Oh, I was in the room when they did it too. That was wreird. But I knew the urologist, he is also my urologist, but that is another post, and it all has something to do with why we don't want anymore kids....

Anyways, I thought I would share some pictures today...when was the last time I did that?

Ready for some cuteness? You better be:o)

Here are a few pictures from yesterday, when Missy and I got to go out and play...

Missy was trying to catch the snow flakes:o)


Made herself a snowball


Buddha Man watched us from the window, here Citizendad is helping him out..

Him peeking out byhimself(like the snowballs I threw at them? He just thought that was so funny!)


And some more of Missy:



And some from today!
Buddha Man being cute(what's new??)


His little mohawk makes it look like he has a pointy head, huh?

And one more of Missy(nothing is wrong with this picture, it was taken when Citizendad had he upside down:o))



So there you have it. I'm going to plant my butt on the couch and relax with Citizendad....oh and if there is a ton of spelling errors, please, please forgive me, for some reason the spell check button is not working:o(


Ciao.

Snow, no power and the word "snip".......

So, we have been getting some snow here. In fact, it's snowing right now.
Citizendad spun on his way to work yesterday...and that was in our Jeep, going 25mph! That is how "nice" of a snow fall we have gotten. I don't even know how many cars are flipped along the side of the highway.
Oh and then about 3:30pm, the power went out......fun.
Even more fun is that it did not come back on for us until around 2:00am....yeah, jealous?
So, I had candles going, both Missy and Buddha Man had layers on(complete with Elmo slippers), and Citizendad bought pizza home for dinner. Fun. Fun. Fun.

Sooo, I have been thinking about giving an award out tonight...and I didn't know if I could find and actual award to give that would be fitting to what I want to give it for....did that make sense?
Anyways, as many of you know, Citizendad and I are done having kids...two is enough for us. Today, Citizendad went in for his consultation to get the 'ol snip-a-roo....now, he knows that I was going to blog about this, I told him that the whole world was going to know that his bits 'n' pieces are getting snipped:o) And I know, you all wanted to know too, just admit it!
Soo, back to my award giving.....and this my friends is the award I'm giving out tonight:
And if you guessed it, it's going to my wonderful husband, Citizendad! For doing this so that I don't have to, for just wanting two kids like me, and for finally setting an appointment to get it done. Let's all give him a round of applause:o) because I love this man. And think of him on Thursday, at 3:00pm....snip-snip!

My body hurts:o(

Can I while a little? Please?
I started doing yoga, again....
I forgot that it uses muscles that normally I don't use.
And I hurt. Well, not hurt, more like just sore.
And I really notice that I'm sore when I have to chase Missy through the mall. I really with those play areas would have some sort of gate so that the toddlers cannot escape. Sure she thought it was fun, but mommy, not thinking about it, wore her boots tonight.....not a really easy thing to run in.
I'm sure I'll be really sore when we go running in the morning, but I'll make Citizendad push the double jogging stroller.....muahaha, I know, I'm evil.

Also, three things...

1.) I will be putting up my blog roll, soooo be on the look out for that.
2.) I've been painting! But I have yet to take pictures of them to post them in my art blog. Again, be on the look out:o) and tell me what you think of them!
3.) I know I said I would do my meme that I got tagged for today, but sadly, I didn't get around to it, but I will.


Ciao. I'm tired.

Sooo, tonight...

or ummm, last night....it's 1:37am right now, cannot believe I'm up this freakin' late.....
Well, anyways, Citizendad and I went out....
It was nice, it's been awhile and much needed, mostly for me, was about to lose my head...
But we went to see his friend play...he has a little band and all, played at a nice little place called Cozmic Pizza , let me tell you he was great!
His name is Tyler Fortier , and he, is very talented! I liked his older songs, but I'm totally in love with his new songs, which he promises Citizendad that when he gets them on CD, we will get a copy. Super excited about that.
I'm hoping that maybe someday he'll see my art and want me to do an album cover or something like that...how awesome would that be?

Soo, it's late, I'm sleepy, and for some weird reason my hands are freezing, I'm going to bed. Oh yeah, and I got tagged, so I will have to do that tomorrow. So check Tyler out, and enjoy!



Ciao.

Picking my brain....

There are times that I sit, and think "ok, blog already"....but nothing comes to mind. And really, that's sad. I have alot going on, just not sure how to put it all down.


Like....Missy starting to talk more. Her first sentence( and I kid you not)"you suck".....yeah, she got that from me. I say suck alot. When I drive, I tell all the other drivers how much they suck, when I'm in the passenger seat I tell the other drives how much they suck...nice huh?:o)

I could also write about how Missy is not liking bath time as much anymore, or the part I have to wash her hair I should say. As soon as she sees me reaching for that shampoo, oh goodness help me, the neighbors probably think I'm beating her or something......geez.

And then there is Buddha Man, my velcro baby, won't let me out of his sight. And man can he crawl. Fast. Super fast. You open the fridge, and he's there in a split second reminding you that you need to clean that thing out. You open the door to that bathroom, and BAM! He's there too! And guess what? He's finally saying "mama"..makes me sooo happy. But he only says it when he's upset, crying and crawling towards me. It get's loud when I'm not on his mama radar.

And I could go on how I've been browsing the net looking for various suppliers for things that I need for my cupcakery....and tell you how I found hot pink, yes I said HOT PINK cupcake boxes! You know how excited I am about that?! And they come at a very good price, IMHO:o)

And I could tell you how much I do not like blogger right now, because I have wrote this post like three times now and it won't save and keeps on signing me out......

But as you see, I have a hard time putting this all down.......hummm;o)


Ciao.

oh the yummyness!

How about some yummy food?
I made some yummy yummy salad yesterday, and I wanted to share the yummyness with you!
Your excited, I can tell:o)

First, boil and cool down some pasta, me, I used the tri-color rotini, and I only use a half of a box.

Then you want to cook up some chicken breast, let it cool down and then shred:

I know that's not really shredded, but you do what you want:o)
Now, cube up a half of a tomato....

And then a half of a cucumber:

Now mix them all together.....

Add two table spoons of light mayo and mix that in too.....

Chill, then enjoy.....when I ate it, I topped it with fake bacon bits,

And this is what I was left with:o)


Now, I made all this yeaterday, and that batch is gone. I made another this morning, and this batch is almost gone. It's just yummy stuff man. So go ahead, you know you want to try it!


Ciao.

Meet BabyAunt.....

She's cute huh? That is Citizendad's half-sister, and the aunt to my kids, so I will call her BabyAunt on here.
Crazy because she looks alot like Buddha Man:
(don't mind the fat chick holding him), and she looks alot like Missy when she was small, but here is a pick of Missy now:o)

I have cute kids, huh? and our family makes cute kids:o)

Well, she's still alive after all....

I have been kinda deciding whether or not I wanted to post. But it has been forever since my last one. It's just I have alot going on, and well, I really don't like to post really personal stuff. I was just afraid I might slip up or something......

Missy and Buddha Man are doing great. They are growing, learning new things everyday and just all around fun. Though, they are still kind of wacky on their sleep schedule.
But can you believe it? Buddha Man is 9months old.....that means in 3months, my baby, my last baby I will ever be having, will be 1. Yes, I said 1. And the little guy, well he's just got to let go and he'll be walking. But he's become a Velcro baby, sometimes I like it, other times, I just want to go to the bathroom without someone crying and banging on the door.

Missy, boy is she fun. Learning new words everyday. Her favorite is "no".
Me: Missy, do you want a new diaper?
Missy: NO.
Me: Are you sure?
Missy: NO
Me: So are you just going to walk around with a wet diaper all day?
Missy: NO
Me: Hummm, I have no idea of what to do for you, do you?
Missy: NO
Me: ok, well I guess that's it then.
Missy: Ok, bye.....
But then as soon as I get out a diaper for Buddha Man, she runs to me, lays down and waits for hers to be changed. Yeah, we are sooo ready to start potty training.

Our Couch to 5k is going fine. I say fine because I am sooo out of shape, and my legs are sooo sore. Citizendad (like that?) and I are planning on running in the Portland Marathon. That is alot of work, but we are running every other day, and hopefully we are able to do that. We are thinking even if we come in way behind, at least we tried it, right? But it's a good goal to work towards.

So, I guess that's about it. Oh, our very good friends just found out that they are expecting their second baby! We are super excited for them! So congrats J&J! And G, you'll be a great big sister!


Ciao.

Sigh

What a way to start out a new blog.....late and kind of down.
I know, I'm super late with wishing you all a Happy New Year, but I have been way busy with family in town. And now they are all gone and I can get my children on their routines. Not fun people, not fun at all to mess with a toddlers routine....oye.

I do have a ton of pictures, just too lazy to upload them right now.

And I've been painting more too.

And making cupcakes. Oh yummy cupcakes.

I found my year book from my senior year, and now I have some motivation....I did in fact looked healthy once. So that being said, I'm starting the "couch to 5k" program on Monday, so please send some encouraging comments my way:o)


Ciao for now:o)
