Friday Night Date

Tonight was date night for mommy and baby boy. Daddy had to be at the football game so me and Hudson Wade bundled up in our warm clothes and headed to the mall! Hudson enjoyed his waffle fries while we walked around and browsed. Each time we walked infront of a mirror we just had to stop so Hudson could 'visit' with that cute baby infront of him (he's soooooo very friendly and looooves other babies)! I also found one of those singing Santa Clauses and he liked watching him too! By the end of our date, Hudson ended up with a new hat for the cold weather that looks like a monkey, because he is our little monkey, and mommy has a new skirt. Nan sent her credit card with us to buy ourselves some yummy food and to make sure Hudson got a warm hat! Unfortunately, my phone died just as we got there and I have no pictures to show off! But, I do have a special memory with my sweet angel that I'll cherish forever.
He, of course, fell asleep as soon as I buckled him in the car! And when we for home daddy got to spend a little time rocking him back to sleep and mommy got to scrapbook using her new CRICUT EXPRESSION! I scrapped our Halloween weekend but only page one because I haven't gotten more pics made yet. So here is page 1 of 2.



Hudson was very busy today hanging out at home. He took a 2 hour nap!!! Here are some pics!



He was being silly drinking his bottle upside down!



One of his favorite things to do is play with and in his carseat!



I looked down for 5 seconds and when I looked back up this is what I saw! This is the 2nd time he has pulled up on the coffee table all by himself!



He loves to relax in daddy's Dodger beanbag. He stays so still while laying there!



Daddy likes to put his hat on Hudson Wade!!! He is our little Dodger fan!

Also, my sweet baby boy is EIGHT MONTHS OLD today! I seriously have tears in my eyes thinking about how fast he is growing! I HATE it! I know that hate is a strong word but I am serious when I say that him growing so fast is literally breaking my heart! I don't know what I will do when he turns one. I am gonna be a basketcase!
Here is what my little monkey has been up to today!!!
He loves his new mum mum rice cookies I bought him!!! They make him so happy!






He had a mum mum while i enjoyed this!!! The weather was so cold and wet outside I just couldn't resist!



He is starting to realize that he can go WHERE EVER he wants to go!!!








He also likes to play in the laundry basket! Thank goodness they were clean! Ha!



Oh! And he is finding new uses for his walker!






Wow! My baby has been busy today!!! Tomorrow he gets to play with his cousins Emma, Audra, and Anna Claire!!

Happy Blogging everyone!!!

I made an apple pie with the leftover apples I had from making caramel apples Saturday night. It turned out pretty good. I think I could have cut the apples in smaller pieces. But for my first time to make a pie, I think I did a good job! My husband liked it... That's all that matters, right?



Met with my advisor today.. Next semester is gonna be tough! I think I can do it though! 2 art classes, math, chemistry, and my last psych! Woohoo!

Have a good week everyone!

Happy Fall/Harvest/Halloween

Wow!!! I've been busy lately! I have some pictures to share that will explain!

This past week I made popcorn balls! They were so yummy! It was the 1st time I made them and all I can say is 1.) it's a 2 man job! And 2.) Worth the mess!



I also made a pizza pie! It is so easy! Brown hamburger meat, lay out one can of crescent rolls, cover in pizza sauce, add meat, add pepperoni, cover in cheese, then cover the whole thing with another can of crescent rolls, pinch edges, pop in oven! It's delish!



I also painted a canvas for Matt's cousins little girl, Aidyn. It's for her to display her artwork on. The clothespins were painted green and then hot glued on the canvas! I also have another person ask me to paint one for her little girls room and it will say 'Gracie's Gallery'. If you are interested in one for a Christmas present, just let me know!



Friday night we went shopping! This is a rare thing for us! We went to TJMaxx and met up with my sister in law and her kids. It was alot of fun! Got me in the mood to Christmas shop!! Here's a picture of my little shopping buddy!



Last night we went to the Fall Festival @CCWM! Meredith and the kids came with us. We enjoyed it. Afterwards, we came to the house, ordered a pizza and then made caramel apples! It was alot of fun! And my baby was soooooo cute in his monkey costume!

Super Busy :(

Ive been so busy lately with the weekend and with school that I haven't had much time to blog. I am actually posting this blog from the school library, where I just finished doing homework and a test. It is almost 9 o'clock and I haven't even eaten dinner! But! I have made a resolution to keep my blog up and running so here we are!
I am currently working on a paper project for my 3d design class and it is very tedious work! It's basically just for learning process purposes. I am weaving fruit out of milk carton paper... and I'm ready to be finished with it! Will post finished project when done!
My next project for that class is to make something out of wood. It must be some sort of object. Not too big because of time restraints.. I cant seem to think of anything original or EASY! Other students are doing things like a shoe or a camera... Can you help me out here?? I need ideas!!!!!! Leave comments and let me know what you've got!
I will post something I have created... HOPEFULLY, tomorrow!
Until then, Happy Blogging everyone! Thanks for stopping by!
BTW! Took a nap with Hudson Wade today and it was absolutely, positively the most peaceful moment of my day!

Pie, anyone!?!

I was roaming around YouTube last night watching projects from Custom Crops and I stumbled upon the coolest thing ever!!! To some of you, I'm sure, this is probably old news but to me it is BRAND NEW and I am just so SUPER DUPER excited to try it.. Especially for Christmas gifts!!!!

Okay, are you ready?!?! It is called "Pie in a Jar"!!! And basically what you do is bake a pie, any kind of pie you want, in a jar in the oven. Then, you can give them as gifts for people to just open up, and eat it!!! How cool is that?!?!?!? You can also put all the ingredients in the jar, then freeze the jar, then.. whenever you want pie, just take the jar out of the freezer and pop it in the oven!!!!! I found this to be such a cute and inexpensive idea! Here is the link to learn the proper instructions for this recipe.
www.ourbestbites.com/2009/09/single-serving-pie-in-a-jar.html
I'm sure there are plenty of different methods but this link will show you a step by step process and it even includes (EASY) pie crust recipes.

And here is a picture of just how cute these little gifts are, not to mention YUMMY!!!


By the way! This is also an AWESOME gift to send to someone thru the mail!! Or maybe even a soldier overseas!!! Also, there are so many cute ways to embellish a jar!! That will be half the fun!


OKAY! Last but not least, here is my submission for MPS Countdown to Karlee day 3: Make something that has to do with Fall/Halloween. This card is for my sister who lives in North Carolina whom I miss terribly! She just sent me a card she made in the mail that I received today! And wouldn't you know it, we pretty much said the same thing to one another! How much we are missing our SISTER!!!!

Oh, and I couldn't help myself but to change my blog layout to something that goes along with this beautiful season! How many of you just loooove watching the leaves change colors in the fall?? I know I do!

Anyway, Happy Harvest everyone! Hope you enjoy the rest of your week as the weekend is quickly approaching us..Thank Goodness, right?! HA!

Let me know what you think about Pie in a Jar and if you have any additional ideas/info to add in!!!

What day is it again??

With PILES of schoolwork to do and a few events for the weekend, I have my days all mixed up! Does this ever happen to any of you? Today I have been super swamped! Every minute of my day has been spent on busy work! However, I am blogging to post a card that I made for my mommy! :) Its a thank you card for making me this BEAUTIFUL harvest wreath to hang on my front door!! I made her a super cute halloween card and envelope. This will go perfectly with MPS Karlee Countdown Tuesday's Challenge which is to make something CUTE! Anything at all! (wouldnt it be funny if I entered a picture of Hudson Wade!! haha) Any-hoo, I desperately wish I could get the Wild Card Cartridge for my Cricut so I could make the CUTEST of the CUTEST cards and envelopes much easier. However, I do not own the Cricut Expression, just the Cricut Create.. therefore, I know there would be size limitations and I am not sure if it would be worht having. Does any of you know anything about this cartridge in relation to the Cricut Create.. which is the version that I own??

Anyway, here is my card! Give me some feedback and let me know what you think!

Have a great week everyone! Tomorrow is HUMP DAY... if only i could remember! HA!
