Treasure hunting

This little incident actually happened a couple months ago, but I want to blog about it because I want to remember the story. Enjoy.

I haven't been able to wear my wedding band since I was about 6 months pregnant because it's just too tight on my tubby, swollen, pregnant fingers. So I placed my wedding band on my night stand. It took me almost 30 years to find a man that I could swindle and hoodwink into marrying me, so when I go out I like to wear my wedding band to prove that yes, indeed, ANYONE can get married. Besides, I'm a tubby, rolly-polly pregnant lady and I feel a bit dirty not wearing my wedding band. I know, I have lots of issues. Anyway, I digress. So one morning I was getting ready to leave the house and I started to grab for my "no, I didn't just get knocked up by some random guy" wedding band, but it was gone! Immediately I knew who the culprit was. The same tiny thief that steals my combs, hair clips, shoes, and receipts. It was my not-so-innocent little boy, Jackson. The problem is that Jackson is the best treasure keeper in the world. I clean every nook and cranny of this house and I can not find his hiding places. Right now I'm still missing my 2 favorite combs and I've looked every where. My little boy is a master thief.

I was a little bothered by the fact that I didn't have my wedding band, but I knew it would eventually show up. And sure enough, about a week later, I'm getting ready to leave the house again and out of the corner of my eye I see Jackson grab a hair clip and race out of the room with a very determined look on his face. I knew immediately that if I wanted to find my wedding band I needed to quickly follow my little treasure keeper. So I very quietly (as quietly as a waddling, rolly-polly can chase) chased Jackson out of our room, into the living room and then into his bedroom where I just barely caught him put my hair clip into his humidifier. My little thieving genius had been hiding my things in his humidifier. All I could do was laugh at my little culprit and very anxiously peak into the humidifier and pray that my ring was in there too. And there it was, my hair clip, a few odds and ends, and my wedding band!

With the help of a butter knife, I very strategically rescued my wedding band and hair clip from the humidifier. Needless to say, now my wedding band is placed on the top shelf of a very high book shelf, so that I don't have to go Indiana Jones on my son and his hiding places.

Easter 2012

This year we had our big family Easter dinner on Friday because Grandma had to work on Sunday. I tried out a new recipe for dessert which I found on Pinterest (of course). It's a super rich chocolate brownie cake. It turned out great, but was a little too rich for my taste. However, I really think that if you are a true die-hard chocolate lover then you will LOVE this recipe . I thought I was a true die-hard chocolate lover, but this cake beat me. A good friend of mine makes Easter cupcakes with her kids every year. I saw them on her blog last year and I thought they were so cute! This year we made them at our house to hand out to our neighbors. Jackson helped with the baking and decorating. He has some mad grass and egg decorating skills! He also decorated the plates that we handed out the cupcakes on. Our neighbors were quite impressed with his work. For some reason I still get these little momentary realizations that I'm a mother of two, and I get this rush of emo...

BABY NUFFER #2 is on his/her way!!!!

That's right, we were waiting to tell everyone, but today we had our second appointment and the second sono and Baby Nuffer #2 is doing well. Most of you know that we had a miscarriage in June after struggling with infertility, it was a very devastating time for us. We were "advised" to wait a couple cycles before trying again (and we were going to take the advice), but a little voice, I know now it was the Spirit, told me we should try again as soon as possible. I talked to Jim and he agreed and sure enough baby #2 is on it's way again! This little one is very healthy and has a strong heartbeat!! We aren't out of the woods yet, I'm just under 9 weeks and at 12 weeks our chances of miscarriage drop significantly. I don't feel we'll be out of the woods until I have our little baby in my arms, which will only give me a whole new set of stresses to worry about. ;) This is Baby Nuffer #2 at 6 weeks and 5 days. If you look close it's off to the ...

George Albert Smith challenge

Last Sunday we started the new lesson book in Relief Society over President George Albert Smith. I was really impressed by the 11 "ideals" that make up his personal creed. You can read each of the 11 ideals from his personal creed here . I wish I could say that I am already living ALL 11 ideals, but that's not the case. So I'm challenging myself to take one ideal a month which will take me through November and honor that ideal by living it somehow (it will vary each month with each ideal). I will try very hard to do something representing all 11 ideals in the month of December. I will update the blog each month with whatever good deed or service project I have come up with for each month's creed. Writing about my monthly challenges is not to be boastful or prideful, but rather to ensure that I follow through with my challenge. You are welcome to take the same challenge. I would LOVE to hear about how you live each creed! January's creed: "I will...
