Why, hello there!

So, this has been quite the eventful last few weeks, I made an attempt 2 weekends ago to make sugar cookies with frosting decorations for 4 birthdays in our family that will be happening through November and December. On that Sunday we were going to celebrate all the birthdays because that was the only time everyone could be together for the occasion. So you have my sister-in-law; Sa, My nephew; the Goof, my soon-to-be-brother-in-law; Pax, and my youngest niece; Princess. I had a thought that I should make them each 5 cookie designs that depicted who they are.
(If you need me to explain what they are, I will)

Here is Sa's:

Here are Goof's:

Here are Pax's:

(don't judge the ugly circle to harshly, it was part of a motorcycle but it just didn't work and I was late)

Here's Princess's:

(Her's kept breaking on me, I'm surprised Minnie Mouse turned out at all!)

So, there you have it! Chewbaca was the tastiest though... mmmm chocolate! All the frosting you see here (even the decorations) were made out of cream cheese frosting. Now as a warning, cream cheese doesn't work the same as buttercream, it's a lot more fragile and breaks so much faster than buttercream. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! 

This last Sunday, I was pleased to hear my dad speak in his formal military uniform. He spoke to the congregation about service with an emphasis on military service. He honored our Veterans and talked about the sacrifices they gave. They he spoke about how Christ had sacrifice's that he made for our sake and how he is the true image of service. It was so nice! He even had Veterans from WWII all the way to current times stand up one conflict at a time. I was actually amazed! A lot of those men I grew up being in the same congregation as but never new of the service they served. It just made me wonder, who else has been doing things on my behalf that I have been unaware of? I also appreciated what my Dad said about war, (I mess it up but I think I remember it pretty well) "I think few people actually like war, but there are many of us who say, 'We had to try'." 

So on Veterans Day, I had something wonderful happen. I went to my first prenatal visit, I picked Hubby up from work, and we got to hear our little one's heartbeat for the first time. When I heard it I started laughing which made my poor doctor have to go find the little guy again, but I was just so overwhelmed with joy I couldn't contain it! My baby is there. My baby is growing. My baby is coming! His little heartbeat sounded like a little space ship or something, it was so cool! 

I've been sick since Friday, so sick that I have been throwing up at least once every evening. I thought it was because of the baby, but Hubby has a theory that it's because I'm actually sick and the baby doesn't like it. So I talked to my good ol' doc and she told me that the best thing I can do for it is drink some ginger ale, grin, and bear it! My body threatened me last night to give me a fever, but I took some tylenol, drank some ginger ale, and went to bed. I'm still a little queasy, but I should be fine to go to work tomorrow.

Note**: If you are feeling super nauseous, don't eat salad as the only part of your dinner. If you do... you will NOT like it at all!! You have been WARNED!
P.S. Thanks Mom for saving me and for cleaning my dishes, that was awesome of you! :)
