Cakes, Cakes and More Cakes...

So last night my sister and I, along with Julie and her sister-in-law Missy, started our cake class!

Kim that works for Celebrations by Lori, is actually our teacher and she is great! She did a demonstration for us last night and it looked beautiful! I would totally tell people that I made it, and even be proud to take it somewhere!!

Needless to say, even though it has started out being a little more expensive than I had planned and time consuming, I am really excited! We are to bake our own cakes to bring with us. This is the only thing that I think may be an issue, as for the last few months my "Betty Crocker" switch has been broken. I hope that this class will help fix it!! Nick is also excited now that he has found out that we will have a fresh cake in our house for the next 4 weeks!

Anyways, I just thought that I would share my excitement about our new journey and let you know that I will keep you up to date on our progress ( I will try to take pictures to show IMPROVEMENTS)!!

Thus far...

Well since the last time I wrote, I think that had one of the top five worst days of my life. Valentine's Day. Yep, that is right. I said Valentine's day this year was one of the worst days of my life, it is for sure in the top 10. I won't go into details because I love my husband, and he is sorry, but it was horrible.

I also had a doctor's appointment, and all is well there. They did the test for gestational diabetes and nothing abnormal came back on it! She said that we are still on track to have Kole here in May. To be exact we only have 80 days left, or 11 weeks. The weekends of the next 11 weeks are full too! Oh well, that is what makes it exciting! :)

We also started calving too, and our 1st baby, the one that wouldn't nurse (I don't remember if I wrote about this or not) is nursing on her own and is healthy!! We are keeping a close eye on her though to make sure that mom KEEPS letting her nurse, but all seems to be well and we are ready for more!!

Needless to say the rest of this week has been good. He has been kissing my butt to make up for it and that helps a little too! Anyways, this week has been good, and it is a busy week for us. Tonight we are having a family dinner for Nick's parents 25th wedding anniversary, tomorrow my sister and I are going to attend the 1st of a 4 week cake decorating class, and Friday we will do our usual thing. This means no cooking for me for the rest of the week too! :) Saturday we actually have nothing planned (and we aren't looking for plans either) and Sunday is full. We will go to church, have lunch, then I have a bridal shower, and we are to go back to Fort Scott to have cake for Great-Grandma Lewis' 92nd or 93rd birthday only to come back home and have my family out for dinner! It will be a good day!


Glad it is hump day........

Finally Friday....

Glad that it is FRIDAY!!! This is my favorite day of the week! I must say that I didn't think it was going to start out so good, but it has ending up being pretty good....

Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment, and all is well! She is still leaving my due date at May 11, but the math seems to be working out a little earlier than that...I guess we will just have to wait and see! It is getting really close and the more I look at the calendar the quicker I think each week is going to go by!

We also started calving on Wed.! Our first baby for the year was born! Bad news is, that as of last night that baby had not nursed her momma yet. The poor thing also has an extra whole in her ear because the dogs got involved when Nick was trying to tag her....hope our dogs learn to stay away otherwise they won't last long.....But with the help of Doug, Nick decided that we should take some action in this new baby's life and catch her and her mother this morning. So I called in a little late to work and we caught her and her mother. Once Nick got them both into Doug and Kim's she settled down and they got a whole bottle in the baby and the baby got to nurse down two quarters of her mother's bag! I bet that felt good for both of them! So a potentially bad day, with a potentially dead calf, has turned into a good Friday with a live baby!

Anyways, I am pretty sure that is all of my news...we have a wedding to go to tomorrow so that gets Nick off of the hook for Valentine's Day, but it will be beautiful I am sure!

Here's to a great weekend!!

Too Many....

Ok, I know I have better things that I should be doing but I just have to vent. I just want you all to know that when people offer to help that it is great, and most of the time welcomed, but there comes a point and time when there is TOO MUCH help and TOO Many people involved and TOO Many opinions. So the next time you think you are going to give some advice, think about what the poor person on the other end might be doing with the three million pounds of advice they might have already received. Before you offer to get involved in their business, this might also be a good time to stop and think because there is such a thing as TOO MANY people and TOO MUCH help............

A new month...

Sorry it has been so long. The days seems to go so fast anymore! Just a brief update on what is going on this month in our lives.

We just got back from a WONDERFUL weekend with our great friend Karrie, Jason was supposed to be there to, but his stupid job wouldn't let him. This means that we will just have to go back!! Well anyways, Karrie was an amazing host and took us all around Oklahoma City and we ate lots of great food, and played some Farkle!! We also got to meet her good friend Jill, who is a hoot, and see her work!! It was a blast and we hope to get back there soon!!

This month is kind of crazy too. We only have 96 days left 'till Kole arrives (if he doesn't come any sooner) so we are on the down hill slide of that, and excited! :) But the Iowa beef expo is this month, along with a wedding, an anniversary, and all of our regular doings. Oh well I guess it will make March seem even closer the busier we are!

Well I guess that is all for now, not a lot, but an update!!!
