happy birthday jay-dog

Today is jasons 24th birthday. We didnt do anything special.... well jay spent most of the day at the car dealership. He got his man van for his birthday. He is so excited about it i think i may find him sleeping in it tonight. I myself have never been a van person ... but.... we needed something with more room. It is a nice van. Its the 2008 dodge. So besides the van jason received a few Lowes gift cards from family and got a grill. He really made out this year.(this is a picture of jay being jay..... he wouldnt smile for the camera... just a blank stare)

baby news

I went to the doctors today. The nurse asked me if i wanted to be induced.... i didnt even know this was an option. I thought you only get induced if you are over due. so she says that if nothing happens by next friday i can schedule to be induced... ....... its kinda scary tho. im used to just waiting for that day to pop up on us. but it would be super convenient to get induced..... im nervous. The last pregnancy is still so fresh in my mind....

strawberry shortcake

I made homemade strawberry shortcake for the first time ever. It was a big hit in the stobaugh house. Haley was really excited to help make it because she love the movies of strawberry shortcake. Im taking advantage of these yummy treats because when the little one comes..... its diet time.

edible playdoh

oopps this is a sideway pic. yea it looks a bit scary . put i promise it was fun!

she had a blast although she didnt eat much.

Yesterday haley and i made edible playdoh. I have been trying to come up with different ways to be creative and keep her little mind busy. I got the recipe from my favorite show on TLC... jon and kate plus 8. The recipe is simple. Its just equal parts honey, peanut butter, and powder milk. Plus i added some flour for consistency. I have to admit it looks a little scary. Haley tasted it but did more playing with it. Maddy on the other hand ..... she tore it up! We did this at snack time. it was good fun

happy easter

Today we didnt do anything to exciting. We woke up haley and told her the Easter bunny had been here. She jumped up and looked at the baskets on the coffee table with pure excitement. Her face was priceless. Better then christmas even! Then we woke maddy and she was excited for like a minute. lol Then we fixed a huge , carb filled, fattening breakfast and had some friends over. We hunted for easter eggs and played in the yard for a while. Thats about all. It was nice though. We were going to fix a big dinner but decided on breakfast because our friends had other plans later in the day and we wanted them over so haley had a friend to hunt eggs with. Its was good simple fun.

enchanted

We watched this movie last night and i was so impressed. Its a must see . Its great for the whole family. Jason even liked it. There are a few musical scenes that Haley loved dancing and singing to. You must see this.

haley as horton

We went to target for some house shopping and when we passed the little girls section we see a group of kids sitting on bean bags with big paper Horton ears. Of course Haley wanted to join so we sat and listened to a few Dr. Seuss books and had a snack. They also had coloring packets for them. It was just a cool surprise at target. Haley had fun which really made me happy because we have been so busy i feel like she has gotten the short end of the stick. Shes been so good through it all.

the painting is done

jason working so hard painting the dinning room

Finally we can start hanging pictures . The painting is all done. well, besides the touch ups here and there. It turned out really great. I really need to add some color to the room though. Right now it looks like a giant bowl of oatmeal. My walls are tan and so are my couches. I would post pictures right now of the house but i cant pull myself to show the disaster area! I will soon. They worked so hard painting. My inlaws got here at noon on saturday and they worked until 11 that night. Then they came back in the morning for another two hours to work. It was really a big help. I was able to just go shopping with my mother in law and that was super awesome. she loves to spend money and she bought me lots of goodies!! shes great. Its better then working all day long! I really hope i can get everything done before the baby arrives. At least most of it.......

another year in love

yes we are dorks!! lol

Today is our 4 year anniversary and going strong. we dont have anything special planned. My inlaws are down to help paint so maybe we will celebrate next weekend. It seems like just yesterday we were going to prom together . We have grown so much together since then. Its great :)

random updates

wow were do i begin. we finally moved into our new house. i thought for sure jason was going to pass out on me the night we moved. it was just him and on other guy but they moved everything. And even when he we home he wouldnt stop. It was amazing how much he accomplished. we are getting things unpacked pretty fast. nothing on the walls yet......the painting has to get done first. O my the previous owners had a crazy sense of style. Mustard yellow in the living room.... Burgundy in the dinning room and sherbet orange in the kitchen..... yuck..... thats going to be a lot of work but jasons parents have gotten all the paint for us and they will be here next weekend to help. ill post pics when everything is done!!


Now ... this has been on my mind for a while now. This is the year that haley starts preschool but the more i think of it the more i want to keep her home. I just hate that she would spend all day every day there. from 8-3 Monday thru Friday. I just think it may be too much for her yet. I mean she has her whole life to go to school........ i dont know what to do!! i want her to have a good head start. this is the part that i really need help on!

so much work

no i havent fallen off the face of the earth... ive been cleaning!! i am far to fat to be doing this much work! lol Jason thinks im crazy but i keep telling him that im lucky if i can get one box packed a day! I have to much to do on and regular day let alone trying to move too! So thats what ive been up to... and after we close on the 5th, i have to clean that house and unpack our stuff. FUN :( Haley doesnt understand why i keep taking her stuff and putting it in boxes. she knows we are going to a new house but she is not happy about seeing her things disapear into boxes. she goes into meltdown mode. Anyway. ill be back soon... with lots of pics of the new house....
