Fruity Pebbles

Getting busy! Didn't get near enough sleep last night. Danika kept waking up every 5 minutes and crying, and since i'm the only person who knows how to take care of her, i'm slightly wiped out! Now, I have a lasagna dinner to cook for 20+ people tomorrow, complete with dessert! I don't mind helping out- the people are out of commission, 1 just had a baby, 1 just had knee replacement surgery, 1 is basically dying, 2 have been very sick for over a month now, so I like helping out I just wish it could've came at a better time when I could've actually enjoyed doing it instead of being exhausted from being sick! Luckily it's only a 3 dish meal, lasagna, garlic bread and blueberry cream muffins with vanilla glaze. All i have to do is cook it and they will finish it tomorrow!
Jacob and Danika are laying in the recliner eating a brownie and watching Thomas. So glad my computer and camera are functioning again! : )

Making up for lost time! : )

ready to go to Gramma and Papa M's
Playing with valentine balloons! She loves them! She plays and plays with them!
Eating dinner at Perkins after the youth rally
crashed out cold on the couch- finally!
Grumpy pants! : )

She's finally arrived! After an awful 2 weeks dealing with horrible sickness and heart-wrenching family situations, finally a bright spot!!!! We're finally on our way to what I hope will be a successful business! I have spent countless hours researching, watching gobs of movie reviews, I read through 102 pages of customer review, when I was too sick and tired to sit at the desk any more Mark would take over and very carefully search with my guidance and she's finally here! We've had alot of fun playing tonight! : ) Can't wait for the rest of the accessories to arrive! It's show time!

But for the Grace of God go I...

So glad to have the grace of God to rely on this week.It's nice to know you have someone to rely on when there's no-one else to turn to! Glad that He is in control and planning everything out for us according to His perfect plan even when we don't understand! Just can't wait for this week to be over!Everytime you think it can't get any worse, it does!

Third Day - When The Rain Comes

Food for thought! (I mean Danika)

I am very happy! I finally solved Danika's food issue! I have have been searching for something that she can feed herself, so I can have a few minutes here and there to do stuff, or I can actually sit down and eat a meal with the family, instead of eating by myself after feeding the baby!We gave her a biter biscuit, which is a rock hard biscuit that babies are supposed to chew/suck on and it turns to mush little by little- she bit it in half and choked so bad we were grabbing the phone to call and ambulance when it finally went on down. We tried cheerios, she couldn't chew them. We tried little pieces of bread, they got gummed up and she'd choke on them. Finally mom told me to try Ritz crackers because they mostly just crumble, and it wasn't likely she'd choke on them- we gave her one and she promtply stuffed the ENITRE thing into her mouth. Well tonight I was sitting here and happened to glance over to the groceries i'd just bought and solved my own problem- FRUITY PEBBLES!!!!! I dumped a handful on the high chair tray and she loves them! They are tiny enough that she can eat them without me worrying about her choking. Also, they're so thin that they turn to mush before she needs to chew them! It's so funny- she picks them up one tiny piece at a time and carefully puts them in her mouth! I will upload pictures as soon as my computer cooperates with my camera. (it's having a breakdown)

Just hanging out while Daddy sleeps!

Her favorite "hangout" when Dadd'y watching movies or playing games. She just sits there on the recliner footrest and yells at me and Jacob like she's head of the household. ( which I guess she is ) : )

Jacob with the flower he grew. He likes to carry it around and it still somehow got through growing without being dumped or broke! Wow! She looks alot like my sister in this picture! (just realized that) She loves to play with our phones

This is what she thinks of Jacob going to school next year! : )

Sharon Dendler (and baby bump) : ) holding Danika at the shower for Jen and Janae

Some more pictures of our pastor's new baby! : )

This is why, even though my husband always yells at me, I ALWAYS swerve for animals! : )

Jacob asked me where his new Papa is. I told him that he doesn't have a new Papa. I said, "you only have Papa Waterman, Papa Musser, Poppy Sherman..." and before I could add Grampy, he informed me, that no, he only has 2 papas because Poppy sherman is MY grampa! A few minutes later I heard a noise, looked and he has his face buried in the couch cushions sobbing.When I asked him why he was crying, he told me that he's crying because I took his Poppy Sherman away! He keeps crying and crying and telling me that I took Poppy Sherman away, but I better not take or steal his other 2 papas too! He cries, then looks up at me and glares! Does finding this quite funny make me a horrible parent? : ) I dont know where in the world he comes up with this stuff!

In the video below, Danika was trying to kick the camera and thought it was pretty funny. I wasn't talking to her or anything, she was just laughing at herself!

Danika and Jacob making cinnamon rolls. He was so excited about kneading the dough! She was pretty much annoyed with everything about it!

Jacob once again enjoying the couch that mom sent down for my yard sale!

Sleeping beauty! Jacob with his Toy Story "snuggie!" He wanted one so bad for C.mas and didn't get one, so my sister bought it for him!

They love that little couch! They're always sitting on it to watch movies and play!
