Hey moms out there…I need to know…what are some good finger foods for a 8 month old??? We’ve tried the Graduates finger foods and he can’t stand them. What are some good ones besides bananas? I need to know–because apparently, Kingston is not big enough! {haha}
I work until 11:30 p.m. {that’s if I get out on time} Then I go to the gym afterward to work out. After showering and getting into bed, it’s pretty late. It seems like on the nights I am up late, Kingston likes to wake up early {not to mention the few times during the night}. I feel like someone has hit me a bus {okay maybe not a bus, but I’m tired}. I am waiting for Kingston’s nap time, because it’s gonna be mine too!
He is a little busy at the moment…and it’s only 8:30 in the morning. Nap time can’t come fast enough…
I met Marci when I was 17. We lived in the same apartment complex across from BYU and just happened to start working for BYU Catering at the same time. I moved back to California and she stayed in Utah and graduated from the Y then moved up to Idaho for a job. We’ve stayed good friends ever since. She came up for my wedding. She is such a great friend. Well, she and a few of her friends are in Frisco for a few days. So I’m gonna go meet up with her Tuesday and do some touristy stuff, I’m sure. I love going down there. It’s gonna be fun…
Yesterday Tim and I spent most the morning prepping for the dinner that we were having with the missionaries that night. Then the phone rang. I got called into work, so we had them over for lunch today since they had a dinner date for tonight. Tim and I made our famous Tri Tip Chili and cornbread with honey butter with Chocolate Heaven Pie. I’m so glad we were finally able to have them over. In the four years we have been married, we have never had them over for dinner! We are gonna have them over again next month. I didn’t mind getting called into work, I got today off!
Kingston loves his bath time! He can spend up to 45 minutes in there every night! I thought it would be fun to put him in a bubble bath. He really enjoyed it, but at first, he just stared, not sure what to think of it all.
Each and every day he just gets more fun….and even cuter {is that even possible?!!}
So we just got a new couch and we love it. So much nicer than our other D.I. couches {nothing wrong with DI couches, it’s just nice to be able to upgrade}. So Salvation Army came on Tuesday to pick up our old ones. They only took the overstuffed chair and not the couch! Don’t worry it’s gone…{I’m sure any of you who remember our old sleep sofa are getting a good chuckle out of that}
I found the most WONDERFUL thing for the baby that wakes up in the night!
We were searching for the Fisher Price version of this because I have heard amazing reviews; however, everyone was sold out of the Fisher Price and I was a desperate woman, ready for a good nights sleep. So I got the Baby Einstein Soother. It has a remote control to where you can turn it back on (with or without lights/music) and he doesn’t see you, so he doesn’t cry {as much}. And it calms him right down. I LOVE it!
P.S. I posted a TON of videos of Kingston on my facebook. Check it out!
Our couches are in and set up. They look so nice. But now I have to change up the colors. The black and red doesn’t really go with our new beige/chocolate brown couches. Someday I’ll get around to it {maybe}.
I have had 3 days off and I go back to work today. Of course I’m sick, the day I have to go back to work. It’s always works out that way doesn’t it? For the next week, I only have one day off, so I really hope this is a 24 hour bug, nothing more! In the last 4 years, we haven’t had the missionaries over to dinner…so I think it’s about time. They are coming Friday night for dinner. Not sure what to make. Any ideas?
I planned on Potato Cheese Soup in bread bowls for lunch today. Oh My Gosh, it was yummy. I just added this and added that, and boom-bada-bing, it was a masterpiece! I probably should have taken note of everything I actually added!
This past week, Tim and I saw Avatar. I didn’t really want to see it. It didn’t look that great to begin with. But I went with Tim and it was A-MAZ-ZA-ZING! We watched it in 3D {for those of you who don’t know, I have never been able to see it, still can’t}, and Tim left with some vertigo!! haha. It really was a great movie for anyone who is considering going to go see it. I wasn’t expecting a lot but it is a MUST see for sure!
As you can see, we are too cool for school in these pics…
So we got such an amazing deal on some couches we hurried and bought them. They will be delivered Monday morning. We then realized oh crap, what about our other couches. So we scheduled the earliest pick up time with Salvation Army, and it is Tuesday morning. We will be a little bit crammed here in this apartment with a few too many couches! But you’re more than welcome to come on over…there’s plenty of room to sit down!
Friday was an amazing day. How did it start, you ask? With me sleeping in…til 9:10! Tim was so great to let me sleep in while he took care of Kingston. Then, it got better…payday! My direct deposit set in, so I don’t have to go to the bank to deposit it anymore! I made a huge batch of Potato Cheese Soup…and it was fantastic. We have lots, so come on over! Then, I got a call from the doctors letting me know my glasses are in! Then, Lisa and I finally stopped playing phone tag and actually talked with one another. So I guess the family is planning a cruise for next summer! Now the question is which line and where to go. So I asked a bunch of girls as work. Still not sure. So let me know where you have been and who to go with {or not}…
Kingston has outgrown his infant tub. Daddy got him a Spiderman tub mat and Kingston LOVES being in the tub. He played in it for 45 minutes {he was so pruney when I took him out}!
Even Prince wanted to get in!
Isn’t he just adorable???? Can you say GERBER?!
I still haven’t seen New Moon…I know, crazy. But everyone has loved it. So I pre-ordered it through Borders. It’s 30% off right now, if anyone is interested (blue ray too)…I can’t wait to see it.
Disclaimer: For those of you anti-Twilight fans out there, don’t comment on this post. Not interested in hearing how stupid it looks! ;)
My brother travels to various places all over the world for business, and his last trip was to Japan. He usually brings back fun things for the family. This time, he got Kingston prayer beads from one of the temples over there. So now he has prayer beads from Tibet and Japan over his crib. Take a look, it is so cool.
I have today and tomorrow off. You know what that means? Two days of Bliss–two full days with Tim and Kingston all to myself. I even get to have lunch with a friend today. We’ve been trying to get together all month and finally we are able to. Here’s a pic of Kingston that I took yesterday. I can’t believe how fast he is growing…
