Road trip and other stuff!

On Saturday we took a road trip to Ypsilanti to see my cousins Jeff and Dana, their two daughters Elia and Emma and their new son Evan.  Evan is over a month old and we have been wanting to go and see them but my kids and I have been sick for about the last month!  Don't want germs around a new little baby :(  Anyway we haven't taken Izabell anywhere too far without a diaper or a pacifier so I was really wondering how this was going to go.  I put panties on her but put a pull-up on over them.  She stayed dry the entire way there and back!  She is doing really good.  We still do pull-ups at night because I don't want to have to change sheets in the middle of the night and she just turned two and a half so I think that's still okay :)  Izabell is still a screamer and in her carseat is the worst.  If you didn't get a chance to enjoy the video of vacation last year on the way home, it wasn't pleasant,  she screamed high pitch about 90 % of the time and the other 10 % she was sleeping.  I tried to send the video from my phone but it said too large, I will have to try to figure that one out! She did better but still has her moments :)

On another note, What I'm Loving - Monday!!

I'm LOVING this Apple Butter.  I LOVE to put it on an english muffin.  The good thing too is it's only 30 calories for one tablespoon.  I've been eating for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.  This is a must try :)

 I'm also loving this new chocolate chip cookie recipe I got from this blog spot Jenna's Journey.  She has such good recipe's and I love that some of them are really easy :)

Ingredients for these awesome cookies!

Awesome cookies!

I might just add that these were some of the best tasting chocolate chip cookies I have had!  Thanks Jenna, even though you will probably never see my blog!

I'm also loving these two cute little faces, especially after their bath when they smell so sweet and look so clean!!  My two perfect little angels

Don't they look so innocent!?!?!

Izabell is such a helper lately.  I cut up a cucumber which both of my kids love!  And Izzy wanted to help make one for daddy and I told her daddy liked salt and pepper on his.  So this is her helping put salt on daddy's.  LOVE watching her make one up for her daddy :)

I know I posted about this in another post, but I'm LOVING girl's night out.  This month a friend of mine thought to do something that she has seen on some other blog spots.  Everyone picks out something that they use or LOVE and buy three of that item.  We decided to have a $5 minimum.  I racked my brain trying to think of something that I use or LOVE that is over $5 and couldn't think of one thing.  My makeup is cheap, my hair products are cheap, I just use plain old soap to wash my face.  So I decided on a bottle of bath and body lotion, because I use it everyday and LOVE all the different fruity scents that they have, a thing of sticky notes because being a teacher I have these things EVERYWHERE, a thing of chapstick, and a reese's peanut butter cup because I LOVE THESE, especially the heart ones for Valentines Day or the egg ones for Easter, because they have a lot more peanut butter in  them, okay enough about those now I want another one, yes I did already eat one today, okay enough!  Then at the get together everyone's name is put on a piece of paper and put in a bag and when your name is drawn you get to pick someone else's thing they LOVE.  I ended going home with some really neat and fun stuff!!  Here is my little gift bag of stuff and here are all of us girls! 

 

Have a great week everyone!
