Friday night I went and explored "Sprouts" the new Farmers Market that opened up where Smart & Final used to be across the street from us. It was having all kinds of great deals. 100% apple juice (NOT from concentrate) was only $1 a bottle. (gallon sized). We currently have 6 bottles in our "emergency prepardness" closet. I love apple juice. haha. We also bought a lot of the healthy versions of our favorite cereals for only $1 a box. They are BIG boxes too! Nothing compared to the cheapo ever shrinking boxes the local grocery stores offer. haha. I got some other stuff for our pantry as well (like a couple jars of 100% apple sauce for $1 lol). I also bought a pack of 3 new york t-bone (bone in) steaks and 5 petit lobster tails that I took over to the Johnsons to eat for dinner. Steak and Lobster for 3 people for under 15$... really? lol. It would have been a lot better tasting (the steak) if I hadnt gotten carried away chatting with Kisha and forgetting about the steaks that Troy left me incharge of while he went to work. Oops. Welllll done anyone? lol. Oh well, it was still yummy. I crave protien and iron aparently cause all I want is freaking steak. Chicken? Its alright. But steak? MMMMM.
Kisha and I also made another Joe's trip to get some more Joelatti's for our pregnant selfs. Troy didnt care for the extra soft serve that they mix with the water ice to create a Joelatti... but he likes the Water Ice. So it wasnt a total loss for him lol.
Saturday I woke up alone (awww. sad.) cause David was still on his camp out at Oniel park with the boy scouts. Normally I would complain about this and scouts taking up to much time between school and work... but he is just so passionate about it. He loves camping and he is such a huge promoter of scouting. I know the boys really like him to cause he is young and "fun" if you will haha. He is able to relate to them and bond with them and in return it really encourages them to keep coming back haha. So for the boys... those stinking little annoying 11 year old boys... Ill share my husband with them. I mean, even if he makes a difference in just ONE of their lives, its worth the time spent apart.
So after I woke up (at about 6:45am) I let the dogs out to use the restroom and then got myself dressed. I decided that the dogs were being rebelous because they were feeling neglected so I made up my mind to attempt to take them to the dog park by myself so that they could run around. Driving with two crazy mini doxies is NOT fun lol. First, they both have to sit WITH me and I dont feel safe driving while trying to hold on to them. Eventually we got situated though. Leo (the long haired) sits on my shoulders behind my neck with his face next to mine. Im assuming this is because he can see out the windows better and stuff haha. He just started doing it one day a couple months ago, and thats just "his spot" now. He will give me kisses now and again on my cheek lol and its just cute. Xerxes (the little black weenie) stands with his back legs on my left leg and his front legs on the window seal and his nose in the air conditioning vent. We dont know why he does this, but no matter what car we are in... he has to have his nose in the aircondition vent. So we keep the air on just a little for him. We got to the dog park at 8 (just after it opened) and there were 3 other small dogs and 1 big dog there. Well, big dogs arent suposed to be there and this dog was HUGE. There is a BIG dog park just next to the small one so I dont understand why this guy was even in the small dog park with his dog. It was a german sheppard that came BARRELING straight at me. I didnt know what to do and knew it was going to knock me over lol. I braced myself against the chain link as all the other owners in there started to shout and move towards me to help and at the VERY last second when I expected inpact my little tiny long haired weenie dog lunged up and grabbed the freaking German Sheppard by the neck and attacked lol. Leo sent that huge dog crying in the other direction. If that wasnt enough Leo chased after him still trying to attack lol. So I then had to go retrieve my ferocious little weenie. The owner of the big dog came up and yelled at me saying I need to get my dog under control and i said "Dude, Im 7 months pregnant and if it wasnt for my out of control dog your huge dog would have just laid me out" and the guy was like "He is only a puppy he doesnt know better" and I said "Well, my dog knows better and thats why he attacked. Why dont you take your big dog to the big dog park where he can play with dogs his own size?" and I walked away. The guy kept talking smack and 2 other men in the small dog park who witnessed everything said if he didnt leave they were gonna report him so that he couldnt come back to the dog parks at all ever. With that he apologized and said he didnt want any problems and that he would go to the big side. As he was leaving he walked by me (I was still holding Leo) who proceeded to bark and growl at him lol. Everyone just laughed and he shamefully made his way to the big dog park. Dumb idiot. The dog would jump on his owner and his paws reached the owners shoulders. Could you imagine the problems that could have occured if he jumped on me? Or God forbid knocked my stomach!? It made me thankful for a second that Leo is so protective over me haha.
Here is a picture of the dog (who is behind the chain link fence in the BIG dog park) and my little attacker Leo. Its actually quite amusing looking back that Leo sent him running lol.
Xerxes usually finds one dog who is obsessed with him and they spend their time together. I dont know why. Leo will roam, run, chase, but always keeps a "circle" around me and returns to that circle lol. Xerxes? He could care less who we are to him while he is in Bark Park. He finds a lover dog and they frolic and prance and play. This time it was a cute little fuzzy gray dog that he "danced" with for almost an hour. They would run up to one another and balance on their hind legs while holding on to one another with their front paws. lol. It was really cute. I didnt get a picture of them dancing, but I got on of them about to assume the standing up position.Xerxes and his dancing buddy:
I love my dogs. Their shock collars arrived today...MWAHAHA! lol. I am trying to spend more time with them like on walks and dog park trips and stuff to right now. David is too. The more time we spend with them the more they seem to calm down. It really is great preparation for having a child. Leo always has to pee at night lol... which means I have to get up and open the door for him in the middle of the night. Just another way I am being prepared to get up all night long before the baby gets here lol.So after the dog park I ran some errands and got stuck behind not one, not two, NOT EVEN THREE... but FIVE funeral processions. Holy cow! I was like, are you kidding me? It made me paranoid so after that 4th one I decided I wanted to get home and be safe lol. Then i got stuck behind the fifth one. I was convinced it was a bad omen lol... but Im alive and kicken and David made back fine lol. So I guess I just was given some time to slow down. Who knows... maybe those stops saved me from getting in an accident or something. Ya know?
After that I met up with Megan at HELL... I mean, Chuck-E-Cheese. She was there with her 7/8 month old and 2.5 year old and then she had the Stillwells 2.5 year old and 9 year old. At first I was like its okay, not gonna be that bad. Then once inside the play zone I started to panic lol. I dont know what is up with rude freaking children but its like the parents dont watch their kids AT ALL. I felt like I had to help Megan wrangle our little bunch (who were very well behaved might I add... well except Robbie lol) but then at the same time play police man for all the other little hoodlems. If anyone is contemplating parenthood, or wants to scare their teenagers into abstinance... TAKE THEM TO CHUCKEECHEESE ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON! It was in all honesty that bad. Kisha texted me after we had been there about an hour asking if we wanted them to swing by and I texted a simple "yes. help." lol. I should have said "SOS!!" haha. So she and Troy came and they helped. I sat on my butt. Kisha held Brookie. Makalah hung on her mom. Troy ushered Robbie around (Robbie LOVED Troy lol). Caine was around the joint mooching tokens lol.
Here are some pictures of the Matson girls from Chuck-E-Cheeses:
Then we decided enough was enough and we needed out. We had Megan return the Stillwells because it was their time to go and then we all met back up at Norms for some dinner.
After dinner Sister Davidson had invited me over to her house for a "Kick off Party" for their frozen custard machine. I have been craving frozen custard for MONTHS (probably years lol) so I was like HECK YES ILL BE THERE. So I abruptly ended dinner with everyone to get my happy butt over there. I ended up bring Megan and her kids and Kisha with me and David. The frozen custard was SO good. I originally had a bowl of vanilla (with some chocolate mixed in lol) but I made the mistake of letting Makalah hold the bowl for literally 2.5 seconds and it was over lol. She was having a religeous expirience with that custard. I wish I had taken pictures. She would take a bite (that was way to big) and have it dripping down her face as she sat there with her eyes closed and a slight smile on her face lol. Like she was savoring the delishousness of it all. So since she ate my bowl David got me another but they were serving dulce de leche at that point... it just tasted like Carmel. It was good, but not as good as the inital vanilla.
After that David went with the girls to the Johnsons while I headed over to Brandi's to meet her newborn son "David Michael Taylor". He was SOOO cute. Holding a little newborn just made me cry haha. Like, soon, I wont be holding other peoples kids. I will be holding MY baby!! It was just so nice. His little cry was so... LITTLE. haha. Little toes, little face, little man. I cant wait until Adella is here! She was kicking like crazy when I was holding him. Either she liked him... or she was jelous. We will see later when she is born which one it was lol.
Me & Baby Davey:
After that I picked up David from the Johnsons and we called it a night.Sunday we woke up and we went to Davids parents ward because at 10:30am that morning something REALLY awesome was happening. Davids brother James (the youngest brother - 23) was getting ordained to the office of an Elder. David has prayed for this day for SO long. Now James is preparing to go on a mission. Who would have thought? He is doing so well and trying so hard to be the best he can and to choose the right. I am so proud of him.
After Church we came home and ate lunch and then david went home teaching while I napped. After nap time we ate italian food for dinner and then relaxed and went to bed early to prepare for the week ahead.
Now its Monday and its about 5:30pm and I am still stuck at work for another hour. BOOOOO! After this I believe I am having dinner with my old girlfriend Jenelle and then home and to bed. Tomorrow I am waking up early to have breakfast with a different girlfriend. Then off to work. haha. Just trying to get all my visits in now before the baby comes and I dont have time to do all these random outings. Or the energy to do them lol.
Ohhh and today I got a package in the mail from a girlfriend. It was a ring sling!! All black, and perfect. Im so stoked!! I love ring slings. I always use them when babysitting peoples kids that have them haha. I just love have the babies close to me.
Other then that... I dont got much. haha. 3 months to go until I am due. 12ish weeks. WOO HOO!
