Happy V-day

We had nothing planned to do today in hopes that I would be at the hospital having a baby. No such luck, so we had the improvised Valentines day.

The boys made Valentines cards for Grandma Wayment...complete with construction paper, markers and LOTS of glue. You can't see the red marker all over Carson's face. Good thing it is washable.

Nathan finished his and had a little Capri Sun...
Finished product. Every Valentine should have goldenrod hearts on it. The inside of Carson's said, "I love Grandma, and I know she loves me. Love, C C C C " . I helped him write his message. He did the C's.

Valetines bags with cinnamon hot kisses (cinnamon lips), giant chocolate chips (hershey kisses) and a new race car.


The day was full of true brotherly love...fighting over each others cars. Robbie sent me a beautiful bouquet of roses. For him, tickets to a David Archuletta concert and mexican food for lunch...true love...Robbie and mexican food that is.

Just waiting

Membranes are stripped...now I just wait. This worked like a charm with my other 2. 2 days later we had a baby. If this rings true for this one, we will have one on Valentines day. Not my first choice for days in February, but I will take it if he decides to come then. All I know is that I don't think that I can stand one more Sunday at church with people saying things like, "You haven't had that baby YET!...You look miserable...I don't know how you can stand those kids on your lap because you are SO pregnant...my personal favorite...HOW CLOSE ARE YOUR KIDS GOING TO BE?...WOW, YOU WILL HAVE YOUR HANDS FULL." Thanks people. Anyway...just waiting...

Childish...maybe...

I took the boys to Walmart today. We haven't left the house since Sunday. It is not too much fun when everything I own to wear is tight! I think that Robbie might be sick of sweats...anyway. We went to Walmart. Some how for some reason I got this crazy idea to make rainbow chip cupcake with the matching frosting. MMMMMM. Then I bought a bag of "cinnamon hot kisses" as Carson calls them and a bag of gobstopper hearts. I LOVE seasonal candy. Robbie teases me that I love all treats that little kids love...nerds are one of my favorite.

We came home and right away I baked these cupcakes. I can honestly say that not 1% of this was for my kids. Purely selfish motives. Carson was glad when they came out of the oven. I don't think I've ever made cupcakes before. He loved them. It took some convincing that "these special muffins" did not need butter. I am not sure if the highlight of my day is the cupcakes or the gobstopper heart. I love them both! I can say if the highlight of my day COULD be if my contractions were regular and I could have this baby!!! Wishful thinking. I will find out more at the doctor tomorrow...

Losing my mind...

This week has been monumentous for the stupidest thing that I have ever done. I have a friend who does interior design and she is helping us with our house. We need to get some mirrors for our bathrooms ordered. She had some catalogs for me to look at. I met her at her church (she is over achievement days) at about 4 o' clock on Wednesday. She was already parked in a space by the sidewalk. I parked perpendicular to her. I pulled up and jumped out to grab the catalogs. We were just chatting away when she said, "Your car is driving away!" What! Sure enough, my car was driving away. SO, in a not so glamorous, 9 mo pregnant wearing slippers way, I went chasing after my car. I was thinking the whole time how Carson was going to be in big trouble for getting out of his booster and puting the car in gear. Well, when I finally caught my car, Carson was fastened in his seat. I had not put the car in park! I am such an idiot. My kids were both bawling. Mom, the car was driving all by itself! Good thing my wheel was strait because I passed 2 other parked cars and missed them by about 3 feet! Robbie thinks maybe he should take away the car keys until this baby comes, BUT, having this baby will not bring my brains back...maybe it will make it worse!

Here we are!

Why is it that when you go to grocery store, children inately know to ask for something. It is like they set up the store for you to fail as a mother...donuts by the deli, toys by the produce, fruit snacks by the cereal, pink and red balloons flashing "candy here"! Today I got suckered by the deli. I just needed some cheese and ended up with 2 chocolate frosted donuts with pink and red sprinkles! I take one look at those cute little faces and end up Jello. I must say that at times I can be a pretty good toughy, but if those 2 only knew that I really wanted to say yes to their cute little faces every time they asked for anything, it would be all over.

Here are some pictures of the last little while...I am not so good at posting them!

Wayment Christmas Party

This one is of Carson telling Santa that Nate wants his own "truck called Mack" for Christmas.

Discovery Center at Gateway Mall

Yes, our son it trying to drink the gross yucky water coming from the pump. It was his favorite part. So much for the hand sanitizer that Natalie gave me before we went...but look at this face...pure happiness. Robbie and I would have been a little bored for the 5 hours we spent there, but we were able to meet some friends from dental school there with three boys. It was time well spent!
Apparently Carson is going to grow up to be a farmer. His favorite part was the farm...picking the food and then taking it to the grocery store in the tractor. Both kids bawled when we left. Robbie and I weren't feeling too bad about it though.

Nathan moves to a BIG BOY BED!

The transition really was easy with this one. He just wants to be like Carson. Carson wanted to sleep with Nate...not such a good idea. I told them both to pretend to sleep. Nate knew I had the camera so he was saying "cheese" while sleeping.

Daddy Horsey

Everyone can remember this favorite pasttime of their childhood. Our daddy is the best horsey, except for when he falls asleep and the kids fall off! They love it. Notice: The sweet flower chair, golden carpet, and golden glow of the lights. Only a few more weeks til we kiss this 70's trend filled house goodbye! Thank heavens!

One last little thing. I am a big internet shopper. I have to be living here. I ordered the boys some clothes and they came the other day. One shirt was for Carson with a guitar on it and the caption"my mom Rocks". He loves it. He had to wear it right away. My visiting teachers came that day. One commented on how cute his shirt was. He said thanks and that the delievery man gave it to him. No credit for mom! Wouldn't it be nice if that were really the case? In that instance, he just gave Nate a new pair of shoes. Thanks delievery man!

Ok, so, here is the 8 mo pregnant family picture. I think that my kids have the funniest faces in it. They were both so grumpy and a little confused because the pics were taken at our friends house where they play. They really did not want to sit still.

Saturday Night Sitter

Robbie and I decided to go out on Saturday night. We have not had a sitter in months, so we were very excited! We got this cute little 12 year old in our ward. Carson has totally loved her in the past, so we figured it would not be a big deal. We did the old dinner and a movie combo. Saw Australia. We really liked it. Best of all, both kids were in bed asleep when we got home. Yesterday, when Carson woke up, I asked him if he had fun with his sitter. "No" he said. Why? "She just sat on the couch and did not play with me." Well, did she at least feed you dinner? "No mom. I am not a baby" Ok, let me rephrase that. Did she make you dinner? "Ya, but she's not a very good cook." Why? "Cause I wanted macaroni and cheese, and she turned it into macaroni and soup." OK...so she can't make macaroni. To have your cooking skills criticized by a 3 year old. Robbie and I were totally cracking up. If that is the sacrifice he has to make so that he can have happy parents, I think we are going to be ok.
