A Few Things We LOVE

Waffles for one, who doesn't love waffles. We finally broke down and got ourselves a nice and big Belgin waffle iron



with strawberries and this YUMMY Vanilla syrup.


1cup sugar

1/2 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup butter

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. vanilla


Heat sugar, buttermilk, butter, and baking soda in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly. Bring to a boil and boil for one minute. Take off heat and add vanilla.


It would of been even better with whip cream on the top.




Another thing we love is putt putt golf...

mommy and daddy teaching Molly








Molly deciding that picking up the ball and just putting it in the whole, is a whole lot easier






Happy girl Molly





maybe shuffle board would be better?




we let them cheat, just a little!

Elley and Daddy LOVE go-carts


waiting in line. First time rider Elley looks a little nervous, but everything is okay, as long as Daddy is around!





FUN, FUN, FUN!








And last, but not least.......we love parades!!!!! If you are a long time reader of this blog you would of already known this. Who wouldn't love a parade that handed out chocolate milk, string cheese, ice cream, and T-shirts. Oh, and lots, and lots of candy.


trying cotton candy for the first time. Elley kind of liked it, but Molly didn't like it at all. Too sticky, wrong texture.



waiting for the parade to start



got my chocolate milk (this one is for you Danielle) :)



Okay, so in this picture are my girls and one random guy who stood in front if me almost the entire time. All I wanted to do was sit in my chair and watch. Did he really not notice that I was a million months pregnant? And, he took a picture of every single thing that went by.....really? What are you going to do with all those pictures? I even had to ask him to move over at one point so I could at least keep an eye on the girls. I really love going to parades, so when people do this, it really makes me mad! Oh well, at least the girls had a good time.

****And here's a little update on the whole pregnancy. At my 39th week check up, I was 1 stinkin' cm. Come on body, you've done this before.....lets get a move on! Anyway, today as I type this I have watched my due date come and go. I am feeling really good though, it's a little weird. I really don't think I would mind if I went another week, but....that's not going to be the case. Tomorrow night, I will go down to L&D and have them gel my cervix. Doesn't that sound pleasant? I've never had this done before so I'm a little nervous. I've read about it a little online and have talked to a few friends, but still nervous of the unknown. If the gel doesn't work I will go in on Tuesday at noon for an induction. I'm still a little on the fence about this whole deal. Like I said, I'm feeling great. I wonder how many women call and cancel an induction? Probably not too many. Shes got less than 24 hours to do this on her own and if she wants to continue to be stubborn, we're comin' in after her!!!

I love waffles and parades, too! And thanks for the syrup recipe. Looks delish! Good luck with the induction process. I hope that, as I type, you're now holding a new baby girl!!!

I love having a belgian waffle maker! Your girls are so adorable - can't wait to see photos of your new sweetheart. I so didn't want to be induced a 3rd time, but just couldn't stand waiting and being uncomfortable any longer. I'm sending good vibes your way - the 3rd was definitely my best delivery!
