Up:
- Our little girl turned 7 months old on Saturday! Hard to believe we are now on the short end towards the 1 year mark! Also, we used the last of our gifted diapers this week. Cannot stress enough how wonderful that diaper shower and all our family/friends are to us. We are definitely blessed - thank you!

| And this is why everyone thinks I have a little boy when we go out; she always pulls off her headbands. |
- I did my first 'garage sale' on Saturday. We used to have mega garage sales growing up, but I just haven't had enough stuff to do a full up garage sale on my own. I did a community yard sale on base and took a couple of other girls stuff besides my own to sell. The turn out wasn't great and not a lot of people showed up to even sell, but we made a total of $225 between the three of us, which isn't bad. It was also a perfect day for an outdoor garage sale which also means it was the perfect day for this fair skinned girl to get scorched! Oops, at least I made some money in the process!
Down:
- Another "worst mom ever" moment. It happened the first day of school when I didn't get JP's picture and here we are at the end of school and I did it again. No, I got a picture and remembered teacher's gifts! However, there is the matter of the end of year party. I was only notified that there was a party and to bring food. I did not realize that it was a ceremony where the kids sang songs and got certificates :( I was hurrying to get there because I had to feed Kennedy and then of course, anytime your running late there is the last minute double diaper changes because both kids decided to poop. I was like 5 minutes late, that's it, and I walk in just in time to see all the 2 year old class leaving the stage. I was so upset Jackson missed his special moment. He had no idea that he'd missed anything, but I did and I feel awful about it.
- Last year while Mike was deployed our Keurig started acting up and brewing the wrong cup sizes, then it just quit all together. Luckily it was in warranty and we got a brand new replacement brewer! Well almost a year later, here we are again with a different problem that is not fixable. Thankfully we are still under warranty on the current brewer and they are sending yet another brewer to us. I feel like we have just gotten shafted. So many people I know haven't ever had any issues and here I am taking good care of my machines that keep breaking. The upside is that we haven't had to pay for new brewers and the company has been great about everything.
I have recently been on a
Greek Yogurt kick - it is really yummy and packed with protein. At the commissary they sell the Yoplait for $.70 and the Chobani for $1 each, so I've been eating mainly Yoplait. Then at my conference a couple weeks ago the RD (Registered Dietitian) that works for Chobani came and spoke to us about the product, processing, etc. because they are building a new facility in Twin Falls, ID. May I just say, number 1, I want her job! How cool would that be to live in upstate NY and work for an awesome yogurt company. Number 2, they have a tasty product that is also well manufactured. It has 5 active and live cultures and 3 probiotics and made with all natural ingredients. They also just started a whole new line of kids yogurt called Chobani Champs where the yogurt is in smaller packaging and already blended. They had tons of free samples at the conference so I tried to try as many flavors as possible while I was there. My favorite is the Apple Cinnamon - delicious! I highly recommend it!
