And that’s all well and good by itself but then you realize that I had them all within 7 years. And that makes it more interesting on my body. Then throw in the fact that I’ve bounced around each pregnancy with either being borderline diabetic, having nothing wrong, or having gestational diabetes. The last pregnancy I was only borderline diabetic but I had a massive amount of extra fluid—as if I was diabetic—and it was so concerning that they made me take the sugar test THREE times! And never figured out what was wrong or why I had so much fluid that I was basically carrying twins. It was only this last year (over three years later) that I discovered my thyroid had gone out. When I first started taking my thyroid medicine I was so amazed at how I actually felt like myself for the first time since before I got pregnant. Then about two weeks in the feeling was gone. I guess I still have energy but it doesn’t seem like enough, I still drag and get tired but can make it through the day. While discussing it with a friend she was talking about her low estrogen issues and I thought—maybe that’s what’s wrong! So I did what every woman who has an older sister does and I called my big sis. She just happens to be in medical school—I know, I’m lucky—and we discussed how I got my gallbladder removed before we had Gabby and it had been packed with stones. She told me that it was caused by my body not processing cholesterol correctly and that made sense because the thyroid hormone is a cholesterol based hormone. I was floored. I asked her what her opinion was on if I could have low estrogen and she said it was highly likely since that was also a cholesterol based hormone. 🫠 I immediately ordered an estrogen cream and an accompanying progesterone supplement to begin taking that in my daily routine so I can test my theory out. So far it’s working. My mood seems stable, I’m not rubber banding all over the place, my level head has returned. I have decent energy and motivation and I just feel more like myself. 🥰 but I’ll be honest, I’m still tired a lot. However, I feel like a big portion of that is due to my weight. Every pregnancy my weight has gone up, and then I loose it after the baby starts nursing—until about three months in and then I gain everything back plus more. After Gabby (#5) was born I was dedicated, we joined the YMCA and I did Zumba and weightlifting courses and was there 5 days a week. I lost about 27 lbs and then plateaued for a month. Then I gained every pound back after a holiday break turned into a longer break and us canceling our membership. As of right now I’m almost 300 lbs. 🫣😳 I have gained 100 lbs over the course of our 14 year marriage and I hate it. Don’t get me wrong, I still look mighty fine. But I can feel the toll it takes on my body. I had been walking at the park 3 days a week for 4 months with no significant change. But I haven’t been able to do it lately due to scheduling conflicts and haven’t seen any change from that either. This is where I am right now. I feel like I need some real help and don’t know where to look. My doctor caught my thyroid but hasn’t done anything else and it’s not helping. I want to drop my weight so my body can start properly processing the things it needs. I want to avoid diabetes and as many other health concerns as much as possible. So in that attempt I have signed up for a two week trial for Noom. I don’t receive any sort of compensation for using them, I’m just trying something different to hopefully jump start my weight loss. I get very discouraged if I don’t see significant change over a month. Let’s hope I see something happen in the next two weeks. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 I am always hopeful-I know I can do it, I just haven’t found the thing that works for my body. Hang in there with me, we can do this! 🥰</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Becks & Jexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18231335007643954234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6588554036068946843.post-79503837315918544402024-02-29T13:00:00.002-05:002024-02-29T13:00:25.770-05:00Back on the Bandwagon <p> It’s been so long and crazy since I’ve posted here. I was looking through the posts and couldn’t believe it had been about 6 years!! In that time we’ve had two more children, we’ve moved three times, and I have even started substitute teaching in our area! I can’t believe that I’ve dropped the ball this much and I feel terrible that I used to be so involved and invested just to let it fall by the wayside. But I get why, we ended up having 5 kids in 7 years and to be honest that is crazy insane! However, I wouldn’t choose another life for anything! I love each and every one of my adorable children! They brighten the days and annoy the heck out of me simultaneously. 😂 And that’s parenting in a nutshell. If you’re in that rut, remember, you’re not alone. I can honestly tell you that I have felt the guiding and uplifting hand of angels as I’ve struggled through the tough times. This job is worth every second! Not only because you are raising the new generation but also because I have learned so much about love and how God works as I’ve done my part. And I’m so glad that I will never be done learning with my family. 🥰</p><p><br /></p><p>But that’s not really why I decided to come on here and post again. It’s been a long journey this last year with my health. And yet I know that I have a longer road ahead. Right now I’m in the thick of this “through” season. And I had the thought, “I bet there are people with stories just like mine. Maybe they’ll appreciate knowing they’re not alone in it too.” That’s when I remembered that I have a blog! 🥰😂🫣😅 So don’t hate me, but I thought this would be a great place to talk about my struggles, what’s working for me and what’s not, and how I’m doing in my journey. If you love it, I’m so glad! And if you don’t, then you are free to click over to another site—I’m sorry it didn’t resonate with you, thanks for coming by! So while I hope that you get something from this, I’m really doing this for me. I am hoping that maybe I can start to see the difference in myself while holding myself accountable in some regards and not make it as widespread as Facebook. 😳😅 With that being said I hope you take this journey with me! We might laugh together, cheer together and probably cry together too. Thank you for coming along with me, I look forward to seeing you soon!</p>Becks & Jexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18231335007643954234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6588554036068946843.post-72281137669674140802017-11-18T09:08:00.000-05:002017-11-18T09:08:33.854-05:00Rental AdventureWow, guys. Seriously, I just fixed our computer so that we can finally use it again. It has taken me this long to do it, but I'm just glad it's finally working!!! Now I just have to figure out how to fine-tune my fix. But anyways, what y'all stopped by to actually see!<br />
<br />
These photos are straight and not touched up!! :) We are super pleased with how it all came together! And don't look too closely in a few places because I still have to do the final once over.<br />

So it's kind of hard to see in the before pictures but it was trashed. The previous tenants had smoked inside when they weren't allowed and it had permeated a lot. We painted all the walls/ceilings/base boards, put in all new lighting, and installed new carpet. It was a lot of work but I'm glad it's done and I'm glad we have some nice tenants. We are excited about the future!<br />

But seriously, I can't believe it's been so long since we've had a working computer. And yes, technically our laptop does work. But that doesn't mean that I can get pictures off my camera via it. For some reason it does not read the SD cards anymore {it's really old}.<br />
<i>Anyways</i>, update! We are currently in the final stretches of purchasing the duplex that we live in. Yay! After closing and when it is officially ours we will be doing some minor cosmetic renovations and then renting out the other unit. I very much look forward to closing in a couple of weeks. You can not knock the wind out of my sails about becoming a property owner {even if it comes with being a landlord too}. I will say that this news probably takes a few people by surprise due to the fact that we haven't really been talking about it a whole lot. I think to a certain extent we just didn't want to jinx it and have to tell everyone that it fell through. But believe it or not it's happening! And it has been quite the roller coaster of emotions.<br />
Blaine, my sweet little boy is finally one! Officially has been for a couple weeks. He is super funny and super smart! Everyday he learns something new and surprises me. He walks, says small words like "Mama," "Dada," and "Stop it." And he loves to make noises with his mouth--which is new, the girls had minimal interest in it. He really is a cutie and I can't wait to post more fantastic photos of him soon.<br />
We went on vacation in April. So I'll have to post photos of that too....<br />
Y'all, seriously. Thank you for staying with me on this whole blog thing. It's a juggling act and I'm still trying to perfect mine. ;)<br />
<br />
Promise to write soon!!Becks & Jexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18231335007643954234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6588554036068946843.post-83646515221765513652017-01-31T08:23:00.002-05:002017-01-31T08:23:55.593-05:00Life be crazyAs I'm sure all of you can relate, the holidays were crazy. This past year they took a new level of energy out of me and I'm still not 100% sure that I've recovered from them. But I think that probably has to do with our computer crash. Mostly because nothing is easy to do technologically anymore. I mean seriously, when I can't print a coupon from the laptop we are using as a desktop and it won't print from a mobile app (thanks, Disney) you go a little crazy. I even went so far as to call customer support on that one, and they just said, "Sorry, sucks to be you. Go somewhere that you can print from your computer." No coupon code or nothing.<br />
<br />
But <i>anyways</i>. On a brighter note, I'm am excited for our sweet little girls! They started gymnastics a couple weeks ago and are loving it! They have done really well and their teachers tell us every week that they are doing great and fit right in. They even love it so much that Hazel will be having her birthday party there, and I'm looking forward to it :) There's a lot of prep work that I'm trying to get out of the way--so the big day runs smoothly--but at least I've got a month to do it. Cross your fingers with me that it all turns out!!<br />
<br />
Blaine is crazy fast, now! Especially considering that he used to just sit in one place. Now he crawls, has 2 teeth, and says "Mama" & "Dada". He is really getting there at 8 months now! It's hard to believe but it's true. Sorry there aren't any pictures. I really hate that, but alas I have to get creative to get them off of the nice camera. ;) It's a work in progress--such is life, lol. I have decided that to be the mom of a boy you can't take things too seriously. Because that little boy will laugh at everything you do. And if you are being too serious, he will just provide the comic relief himself with some farty noise. Yes, it has been my experience that this little trick starts early. So just go with it when you don't absolutely have to be serious. That is one of the things that I love Jamie for. He keeps me light-hearted. Being a mom is tough enough, just have fun with it.<br />
<br />
So, yeah. We are having fun in our chaotic little corner of the world and are glad that you're still wondering. Stay tuned for when I can finally get our pictures up. Hope you are having a bright and sunny day! :)Becks & Jexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18231335007643954234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6588554036068946843.post-78196636533989340272016-11-13T17:33:00.001-05:002016-11-13T17:33:16.125-05:00Decorations!!Whew! I tell you what. There is no judging here for busy moms. I keep up with the holidays in real-life, but my online presence is a bit lacking. With that in mind, I wanted to share with you our porch decor for this Halloween. To tell you the truth, I've already turned our pumpkins into pumpkin-mash perfect for pumpkin rolls and pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas (or just whenever I feel like eating a delicious pumpkin treat ;) ).<br />

Now we are gearing up for Thanksgiving and Christmas here in our house. We might go ahead and set up the tree, but I have a stalwart tradition of decorating it on Thanksgiving. Don't worry, it won't be completely plain because it's pre-lit.I think I'm gonna take a day with the girls and do some Christmas ornaments, they had a ton of fun last year doing that and I think we'll make some more (the cat broke most of the clay ornaments last year). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be on the lookout for our Christmas decor and our 6 month photos! Both should be up soon! :)</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Today our computer crashed with my efforts for a scripture chart. So what did I do? I downloaded an app and made a new one on the iPad, lol. With that said I want to share it with all those who might like it. It's just a simple print that you can print in whatever size you want. I'll be posting it in jpeg format and PDF so you can use whatever format you like best. (I prefer the jpeg so that all I have to do is click print and my printer options will let me change the size...) At any rate, here it is!</span></div>

So this post will serve as a mash-up post. Here are a few things that you've missed over the last couple weeks. Get ready for tons of photos!!<br />
<br />
First things first! Pumpkin Patch Kiddos ;)<br />
The girls and Blaine had a great time going out to the pumpkin patch and picking their own pumpkins. There's a little place just up the road from us that did a big thing with a petting zoo, rides, corn maze and pumpkin patch deal. Everyone had a blast! And here's the proof.<br />

These girls are such hams! I love them!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Ok, So after the pumpkin patch there's Sydney's Birthday. She had a great day and even got a wonderful gift from her grandparents in AL. They sent her a giant cupcake pinata. The girls had lots of fun breaking it open. I think the anticipation was almost too much for Hazel. We got the package in the mail a week before her day, so Hazel spent the next week praying that we would get to smash the cupcake at every single opportunity--bedtime, food, elders coming over, etc. But they had fun, nevertheless. Here are some photos from that.<br />

And what birthday would be complete without the cake?? She does this funny thing when she blows. She doesn't blow straight, it goes up instead. So we were really proud that she was able to blow out her own candle!<br />

This post has been in the works for a couple of weeks. Life just gets in the way of editing photos and we took a ton on a random trip out to my brother's in Virginia. So I finally gave up trying to edit them and just let you see. :) It's a bit back in the woods, our phones had <i>extremely</i> limited reception, and we got to catch up and visit together for the first time in about 6 years. That's right, 6. Meaning this was the first time that I was able to see some of my nieces and nephews and it was the first time that he and his wife saw any of my children. We had a good time and caught some great pics of everyone. For those of you who don't know, my brother has 7 children so with everyone all tallied there were 14 of us. His girls loved helping with Blaine and my girls loved helping with their animals. It was nice to get away and I think everyone is looking forward to visiting together again soon. Here were some of our favorite shots from the trip!<br />

So my brother has ducks, geese, rabbits, chickens, dogs, and cats. But I only have the girls with the ducks/geese. Every time I look at this picture Hazel cracks me up. It took a couple tries for Sydney to cooperate <i>this</i> much, and Hazel's thumbs up turned into a cute chest out look. Ha ha ha, so adorable!</div>

The last two aren't very good, but it was easier to see what we've done with the wall. And I forgot to take Blaine's Christmas stocking off of the shelf before I took the pics. We have it hanging above our marriage shelf with some of the keepsakes from our wedding. And on the wall next to it is our marriage license from the state of AL, our temple sealing certificate, and the picture of the temple Jamie hung in his locker during basic training. For those who don't know, Jamie and I were married/sealed in the Birmingham Alabama Temple. One of the best things about temples is that they provide a way for us to live with our families together throughout eternity. I whole-heartedly believe that God loves all of his children enough to provide a way for them to stay connected to their loved ones after we experience this life. I love that if I stay true to the promises I made in the temple that I can have my family close even after this life. It just makes sense to me, they bring me such joy and I know that I want that happiness to continue afterwards, too. At any rate, I'm not going to give you a whole lecture on it all. If you want to find out more about temples then please feel free to visit <a href="https://www.lds.org/church/temples?lang=eng" target="_blank">this link</a>.

Happy Birthday to Jamie!! That's right, my amazing husband turned 30 today! He started a brand-new decade and this will be the first decade that I get to be there with him the whole way. I'm looking forward to growing older with him through these next 10 years {and 50 or so after}. The Lord has truly blessed me with him. He has taught me many things and has allowed me to teach him a few. I would not be the wonderful woman I am today with out him. I love you for all eternity, Jamie! Always.</div>

So his cake turned into a Black Forest Truffle. I'll need to try it again a different time. But here are a few pics. We were going to be in the park, but got rained out and relegated to the apartment. It was still a blast. Thank you for everyone coming and supporting this big birthday!!!</div>

So these are some more pics from Blaine's 3 month just because. They were cute enough to make me laugh but I never really got around to doing too much with them. If you are a dedicated blog follower than you'll catch this and maybe get an extra dose of cuteness. :) Enjoy!</div>

I took a ton of pictures, but this was the best of the bunch. He is just so adorable, just like his big sisters. I don't know what I'd do without them. I can't wait to see how they all grow. I'm just glad that they love him so much!</div>

And now those mug pictures I promised. I just adore my new mug! Hazel likes it too. When she takes a drink she calls the heart at the bottom "beautiful kisses." So sweet! Now before the pics come I want to warn you I took a lot so that you could see all the way around the mug. Just bare with me.</div>

I gave this as a thank you gift to a member in our branch at church. She has been so wonderful helping us with my gestational diabetes that I had with Blaine and move our piano, etc. Any time I've needed anything she's been there. So I wanted to make sure that she knew how much I appreciated it all.</div>

They turned out way cute!! And I had a ton of fun making them come to life using the girl's personalities. Sydney has a sister at church that she loves to visit during Sacrament Meeting. This sister loads her down with bracelets and necklaces and she then wanders around telling anyone who listens, "Pretty!" That's why I gave hers a necklace, 3 bracelets, earrings, and a ring. Hazel's only has earrings and a bracelet. She even picked out the colors for the bracelet and earrings. ;) Blaine gets a ribbon tie {I had Jamie tie it for me. I can't tie that small} and whiskers. Hazel had a hard enough time waiting for the mouse that she didn't let me put on whiskers. She barely let me do the eyes, lol. I made Blaine's first so that he would have a snuggle toy and then Hazel wouldn't let him keep it {she loved it sooo much}</div>

I went ahead and took another picture of the sign I call my "State Love Art". That way you would understand what I made my mug after ;) No call yet and I'm getting so anxious that I might just drive up there on Tuesday just so I can have it. I'll have waited patiently {well, almost} for one whole week! Anyway, here's the pic!</div>

OK, I admit that I didn't post last week like I said I would. Life got a bit hectic to allow me 30 mins on the computer. So I solved that problem and put the app on my phone. </div>
<div dir="ltr">

<div dir="ltr">
As the title suggests I've been doing a bit of crafting this week. This post will only be a teaser for the real pics that I've taken with my nice camera. So don't be hating on my phone pics--I know they stink.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Firstly, I've been trying my hand at signs. I've done three now. I made these with some reclaimed wood and I hope that you like them. </div>

Now here is the part I'm most excited about! I went to a paint and bake with a few ladies from church and made myself a mug. I was able to finish it then, so I can get it back next week. But here are some pics of it before it gets glazed and fired. Those who remember my big state love art will see the similarities. ;)</div>

The inside is this rich bright yellow orange color that just makes me so happy! I can't wait to get it back. I love how big it is (22 oz)! Plenty of room for ice <i>and</i> water. ;) And of course I'll post pics of it then too.</div>

Well, that's it for now. When I post better pics of the signs I'll post some of the mice snuggle toys I made for the kids. More goodies to come, I promise!</div>

Finally, I have gotten back to you as promised. Here are the pics I took on Sunday morning. There are just a couple because we were running late. And then it took me so long to post them because we went home early due to Hazel throwing up during Sacrament Meeting. Life gets crazy sometimes and you just have to roll with it. But <i>anyways</i>. Here's the dress on Sydney.</div>

Here's an extra one of Sydney. I loved this one more than the first, and quite frequently I am amazed by how beautiful my children are. You might not see it, but it still hits me sometimes that I helped make these sweet amazing children who are growing up so quickly. Jamie and I are truly blessed beyond measure.</div>

Firstly, we got a piano!! I personally am super excited about this development. I am really looking forward to being able to practice more often. I used to have a piano at home, but that was when Jamie and I were dating. My parents now have that one in South Dakota {just too far for me to practice on ;)}. So I am excited to have one at home again. And I don't think that I'm the only one!<br />

For a couple weeks now I've had some new church clothes on my list of To-Do's. But I've only just completed the first outfit, lol. Here is Sydney's new church dress and bloomers. </div>

It turned out really cute. I made the pattern for the dress from one that she had that she loves to wear. For the bloomers I enlarged <a href="http://seekatesew.com/belly-baby-ruffle-diaper-covers-pattern-tutorial/" target="_blank">this</a> pattern from See Kate Sew. I also modified it a little. I moved the ruffle placement and I didn't add the elastic around the legs. The latter was mostly because it was close enough around her and I wanted to add the comfort of not having elastic. If I decide to change that later, it's not very hard to put in. On the back of the dress it is hard to see but I only put two buttons at the top and added little elastic loops to the other side. I decided that I liked the look of the double buttons at the top with a bit of a peek through. And she can get away with it since she's not quite two yet. When she wears the dress to church I'll take some pics of her in it so that you can see what it looks like on {very darling}. </div>

Well, that's all that I have for you today! Gotta get back to <i>trying</i> to potty train Hazel. Wish me luck!</div>

Especially considering it's been almost 2 years since I posted about Sydney. And we've gone through 2 moves, 1 pregnancy, and lost a cat. Yeah, don't judge. Life gets crazy busy and there's just no stopping it when it gets a bee in it's bonnet. Just go with it.<br />
<br />
Speaking of life, today I took the pictures for Blaine's (our newest child) 2-month-old photos. I'm doing them every month for this one mostly just because I can. I took pics every month with the girls, but not really on purpose. For my birthday/Mother's Day Jamie got me a nice camera, and I love it to pieces and try to find reasons to use it. Thus, I actually take special pics every month. Anyways, without further ado, here's the star of this show!<br />

Right now we have croup in our house and a new baby. Surprisingly enough though, our newest angel hasn't caught it.<br />
<br />
Now that I've peaked your interest I figure you'd like to see pictures of Sydney Elaina Jex. Here are some of the photos from the session. And the wonderful patchwork quilt that is found in some of the later photos was made for her by my talented mother. It looks great, doesn't it? I personally love those photos. But there's a crocheted blanket that she is laying on in her blessing gown. I made that blanket for her (like the one I knitted for Hazel) and Jamie loves those pics.<br />
<br />
Anyways, here's a taste of the photo shoot. :)<br />

Before I get started I want to disclose that these are unedited pics from my phone, so don't be hating. <br />
<br />
Now I'm putting this together for my mom mostly. I told her about the cake I was going to make to reveal the gender of our baby number 2 and she said, "that's so cute! You have to email me directions." So instead I decided to blog it :)<br />
<br />
This is a picture of what I started with:<br />

<li>Cake (as many layers as you want)</li>
<li>Your stand or whatever it will be displayed on</li>
<li>What you are using for your icing (I did whipped cream)</li>
<li>Anything you want to put in between the layers</li>
<li>The candy to go inside to fall out</li>
</ul>
For my cake we found sixlets in the Wal-mart baking isle that worked perfectly for us. And I only did a two layer cake; it worked out just fine but I think I'd like a 3-4 layer better.<br />
As mentioned before I just did a homemade whipped cream that I used for all the frosting in this cake.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

of cake on the stand and use whatever you have on hand as a template for the area to store the candy. If you are doing multiple layers then do all of your tiers together first and then cut out the hole.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFRIMZLuyZFWri_5boSZS0gyVUuAQuaBnYtHiEJYYmxi1B8YGaQqUid0BpCx0E8SimH-qUCNz-jV8-lA8TLZOaCzlJJUMg5GEwGvhapwibf_I6sFh8x61nQ_28YQkJv_Dr4k8xNBCjNDM/s640/IMAG0788.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFRIMZLuyZFWri_5boSZS0gyVUuAQuaBnYtHiEJYYmxi1B8YGaQqUid0BpCx0E8SimH-qUCNz-jV8-lA8TLZOaCzlJJUMg5GEwGvhapwibf_I6sFh8x61nQ_28YQkJv_Dr4k8xNBCjNDM/s640/IMAG0788.jpg" height="225" width="400" /></a>Step 2: fill the hole with your assorted candy. I went ahead and mixed the colors together to get the right ratio of pink/white. Something that I didn't think about until afterwards is that you'll want to leave a bit of space so that you can "cap off" the candy so that it doesn't get gooey with the frosting and it'll actually spill out.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbkEZBTR9Hpgc7wE_GFBcMJsrFjQZNJCW0ICVoXdxnAa5I8m07k7qZ5EJCudG31GROW1s0NEWM7RLXz_-Mp-0_bJVGY-68ZB28lcF38SogJB8Pv1mP7dpv65nN7uRUHtqu81T62HWBNXE/s640/IMAG0789.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbkEZBTR9Hpgc7wE_GFBcMJsrFjQZNJCW0ICVoXdxnAa5I8m07k7qZ5EJCudG31GROW1s0NEWM7RLXz_-Mp-0_bJVGY-68ZB28lcF38SogJB8Pv1mP7dpv65nN7uRUHtqu81T62HWBNXE/s640/IMAG0789.jpg" height="225" width="400" /></a>Step 3: take the cake you previously removed from the hole and trim off a bit so that you can protect the candy from the frosting. Place it on top of the candy and try to snug it in there--thus the need for a bit of space at the top of the candy pile.<br />
<br />
<br />

Step 4: do the between layer frosting and anything else that you want to put into it. As you can see we did strawberries. It was super yummy!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

If you want something written on the top then feel free to do so now. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This super cute cake could be done for more than just a gender reveal. I think my mom is going to use it for a baby shower were the gender is already known. But she just thought it was such a fun idea, and I agree. Hopefully this helps on your quest to create the perfect party! Happy creating--and eating ;)<br />

Today was a slow day. Just us at home while Daddy had the car and was off at drill. Per request I had made some cookies last night and they were sitting on the counter. I let Hazel have one sweet thing a day, generally, so when she saw them she wanted one. I picked one out for her and when she got it she just kept turning it over and over in her hands, inspecting it. I said, "Go on, eat it." To which she responded by licking the top of the cookie to test it. Her face was so cute I couldn't help but laugh a little. Oh boy, what a stinkin' cutie! :)Becks & Jexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18231335007643954234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6588554036068946843.post-952253352581127562014-01-31T09:44:00.001-05:002014-01-31T09:44:39.351-05:00Hoot!<p>Over the past few days I've realized that I need some ear warmers to protect my beloved ears from the cold. So I found this really cute owl hat pattern on ralvery. I modified it a bit to turn it into an ear warmer. I think it looks great, but I think its a touch loose. I might try a smaller needle size.... Anyways, here's a picture, hope you enjoy! </p>
<p>Ps- if you're interested in making one its called Who on ralvery. Sorry you must be a member, but its free :)</p>
