Bounty Hunter

Well went to the movies tonight with a friend to watch The Bounty Hunter. It was an okay movie I did think maybe it was going to be a little bit funnier. That is alright though because I spent the whole evening with him! That's right Gerard Butler ahh cutie pie hottie!! Well at least I think so. I do recommend seeing the movie to. Why can't romance be in real life to!!??

Oh baby you could be my babies daddy ;-) Oh I mean I love you honey!!LOL

Well here is the first of many picture of my ever so changing body.
I had a doctors appt. Yesterday and baby sounded good the little devil kept on moving so all you could here was maybe 5 seconds of heartbeat. She said that my thyroid level was low and wants to repeat it and if it is still low she will put me on thyroid meds. That does explain a few symptoms that I have been having that I just passed off as pregnancy woes. I did loose 4 lbs which is better than what my scales said at home. She gave me another script for med to make me feel not so yucky. Yesterday was a good day and so far today has not been bad so I hope I am on the mend! Brad thinks it is a girl because it has been causing so many problems already for Payton and grandma Poopsies sake I hope he is right. I will not say one way or the other because i don't want to jinx's myself and as long as it is healthy that is all that matters.


Me at 12 weeks 4 days

What peanut should look like at 12 weeks and 4 days. Starting to look a little human instead of like a peanut or a gummy bear:)

Ahh the luck of the Irish....
Lets see if Patton has any luck catching his green little Leprechaun tomorrow at school. His homework last week was to make a Leprechaun trap and so we did.
He came home yesterday all excited the little green guy had been in the room while the kids were away yesterday afternoon. He turned Patton's backpack upside down and put Mrs. Burgener's stuffed dog on top of the memeo board.



Work in progress geez dad you look so excited!


The platform has a piece of tissue paper that is painted green and real thin so when he steps on it he will fall to the bottom

and into this plastic container


Patton all excited and can't wait to show his off and see how everyone in his class made theirs.

Happy St. Patty's day don't forget to wear your green!

Saturday we headed to St.Louis to the PBR(professional bull riding) We meet Larry and DeAnn Dorn and their boys and had a great time.

We started off by eating at Hard Rock Cafe then headed to watch some bull riding and off to do some swimming at the hotel. On Sunday we went our separate ways and we headed to the Mills to the firehouse museum and to Cabela's. The only thing I asked to do was eat at the Cheesecake Factory so we headed there next. During our wait poor Parker fell asleep in the booth. What a great weekend!

Oh and the weirdest thing I really thought that they would play country music during the PBR but instead they played this....

Supper is a rare find around here these days. I usually come home and reside in my room with the door shut and try to eat a little bit of nothing. Poor Brad has been a great help around here (more so than usual) so I really feel bad that I don't even feed him something besides take out.
He asked what I had going on after work yesterday and I told a big fat nothing besides hanging out in bed. He just looked at me and said will you be going to bed before or after supper? He said he is worried about keeping his figure:) So this is what I came up with.
I took a loaf of Italian bread and spread a garlic spread on both sides, you can get the spread already made at wal-mart by the breads in the deli. I then cooked 3 chicken breasts in a little bit of EVOO then cut them up into slices. I put them on the bread first with provolone cheese on top and then diced tomatoes and sprinkle with garlic salt and basil. Put it back into the oven for about 10 or so min. until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.
We love fresh asparagus around here and eat a lot of it. Just take it and cut the ends of drizzle some EVOO over it add salt, pepper,garlic salt, onion salt, and some fresh garlic and mix it up. With this batch I put some basil on it to, to go with the basil on the "swandwich"(Patton's saying). Bake it at 400 for about 20 min. or until the top of "tree" is crunchy. Yummy!! Yep better go to the store and get some for lunch. I have to feed my every craving which is next to nothing.
After dinner I enjoyed listing to Parker practice some Smoke on the Water. What a good night:)

Birthday wishes goes out to a great friend. I hope you had a wonderful birthday:)

What do you do with all those broken crayons? Well Patton and I decided to take the wrappers off and put them in a pan stick them in the oven and melt them. I then took and cut out two crosses out of wax paper. Patton smeared a little bit of the crayon in between the two cross cut outs and we had a pretty cross decoration. You can also put them into molds and make different shape crayons.
