Sweet Little Sayings

Here are a few of the cute things Teagen is saying right now. Thought I should jot them down before I forget them. They make me smile and I instantly remember why I love him so dang much, especially after he has done something naughty.

1. While talking to daddy and pointing at me, "That's my girl."

2. "I'm not a sunshine (or any cute name I call him), I'm a Teagie!"

3. "Whatch you doin?"

4. "I don't know" -This is cute because he only says it after the fourth time I have asked him what he is saying or talking about. He just says it because he gets sick of explaining or restating :)

5. "Hello Snake"-Talking to his toy rubber snake

6. "Hello Bob" -Apparently the name he gave to his backhoe or dump truck. Haven't yet figured out which one. Maybe they are both Bob...

7. As we are entering the NDSU Equine Center, "This is Heaven!"

8. "Ugh, I'm a STARVIN' MARVIN!"

9. As he pushes my head to Dustin's in a group hug, "Two mamas, two mamas." Dustin really appreciates that one :)

10 "Mama, you're stinky."-after he lets out a huge fart and giggles.

I'm sure I will think of more later and have to add to the list.

Easter 2012

We left the Easter Bunny a note and bunny bait to say thanks.

Easter Bunny left lots of eggs!!

And a basket too! 

Kringle Anyone?

I decided to tackle making Kringle for the first time for general conference weekend. I have made it with my mom before but never all by myself. I could not have been more pleased when I was finally finished. (It takes about 4 hours to make) It didn't turn out quite like mom's but close enough ;) I will have to practice again so that I can make a wonderful one for Christmas. 

Teagie excited to dig in!

A closer look: A layered pastry filled with an almond paste, butter, & raisin mixture. Topped with almond slices & sugar. Yummy! Takes me home :)

Happy Birthday Grandma & Grandpa Ford!

We're sad we are going to miss Grandma and Grandpa Ford's 75th & 80th birthday party but we hope they enjoy Teagen's video we made to celebrate. It was too funny making it because a toddler does what a toddler wants. The first attempt is better than the second so we stuck with it but you can see them both. Sorry the quality isn't the best but still cute.

Productivity Makes Me Happy!

So after having a successful morning at being productive I almost posted on fb when I realized A) nobody cares, B) nobody needs to know about the insignificant daily details of my life & C) that's what blogging is for :) This is just a reminder to myself that being productive makes me feel so much better than being lazy. I just had this overwhelming Ahhhhh feeling after realizing at 11:30 that I had a clean house, updated all of my blogs, got dinner in the crock pot, birthday cakes baking in the oven, finished an Easter craft with Teagie, got a free years subscription to Rachael Ray magazine, and started getting ready to make fondant and Kringle for conference weekend all while being dressed for the day with hair and makeup done. I just love that feeling of accomplishment rather than what I have on the days when I'm in my jammies most of the morning or worse when I can't even remember what I actually got done during the day.

Spring Break

It's been awhile since Dustin and I have been able to enjoy a spring break so we decided to have some fun with the one we had this year. We first went to Minneapolis to see the Mall of America and the other sites. We had a great time with our friends Drew & Mckenzie and it was nice getting away from Fargo for a few days. The weather was wonderful which made up for the girl scout extravaganza at the mall. I've never seen so many girl scouts in one place before! Since the mall was so crowded we decided to spend more time doing things like eating famous Juicy Lucys, visiting a cute children's bookstore called Wild Rumpus, and stopping at Whole Foods and the outlets on the way home. Oh and I can't forget to mention the crazy guy at the hotel hot tub that said he was an MMA fighter and forced Dustin to feel the scars on his head. I was impressed to see how patient Dustin was with him especially since he liked to invade personal space.  Oh the memories :) Our second stop during our break was the Fargo Air Museum. Teagen had a wonderful time seeing all of the cool planes, jets and helicopters. Definitely a boy!
