Potty Time

Potty Chair Present

Stella went potty in her potty chair at 2 1/2 years old. I promised her a toy from target and this is what she picked out 

Stella said
Then Peter said unto them
The Lord our God is one Lord

Picking out colors for the new house

Called her Legos "Let it Go's" (Frozen)

When offered Apple Pie
She said "I want ding dong cake!" 

 Stella went and got my iPad and turned the song onto "young mothers prayer" and crawled up in my  the lap -laid her  head on my shoulder - and went to sleep

Stella has been telling the story of Goldilocks and the three bears. I was putting some diaper rash cream on her and she said "mom the screen feels just right"

And saying our prayers tonight, she said "and thank you Jesus for Gan Gan's iPhone"

Stella told me: "girls wear skirts and boys wear pants".... I said "that is correct! who told you that...?"
She said -
"Colby.   and they're at TJ Maxx"
(The skirts and pants I assume) πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Cooking Mishaps


We've been married almost 9 years and I've definitely cooked up some slop! Faith Cavin mentioned I write them all down. So here are a few of the funniest:

Probably in 2008 I made some hamburger helper. I use the package seasoning, regular salt, and garlic salt. We ate it on Tuesday (very little 
Of it)  On Thursday Justin text me
" I'm still thirsty from Tuesday "

Around that same time I grilled burgers. I wanted them to be thick. The top and bottoms were brown. Justin took a bite and his teeth were full of blood!! Each crevice was full of blood. I quickly yelled,  "spit it out!!"

Around 2010
Leah and Norma tried to help me. Leah said you can't hardly mess up spaghetti. 
I went to boil my noodles. I called Leah and said, "I don't have a pot big enough to boil these noodles. They are too long."
I didn't know you could break them up. HA

Around that same time 
I tried to do porkchops. I had my heat as high as it would go and a lot of oil. The grease was popping me like crazy. So I put on a hoodie and put the hood over my head + zipped it up around my neck + pulled the sleeves down. (To avoid the popping burns)
It never crossed my mind to turn the heat down

Around 2013
I made chicken spaghetti. But decided to put cream cheese in it. It was soooo thick and white. Justin was calling it "Caulk Pasta" ..


2016
The box was big and undoubtedly when I put the pie in the oven I did not pay attention to the size. I cooked this chicken pot pie for Justin, Stella, and me. Justin texted Chris Blakley and said
    man y'all come over we got plenty


    Tried to make succotash like Silver Dollar City.  I used far too much Silver Dollar city seasoning. It is spicy. Justin said when he opened the front door he had to go change his contacts. LOL I tried adding milk etc and it was still just too spicy. 

I tried to grill veggies and stepped out of the room for 2 minutes. Walked back to coal!! :(
Text from Justin to Roger
 



"Breakfast Brownies"
I didn't mix the egg in all the way making brownies and little pieces of eggs cooked inside the brownies! And Justin called them breakfast brownies!! 


I thought I was thawing out chili to go with the hot tamales. Come to find out - it was tomato sauce. Justin said we were having "Italian tamales"...

May 2017
I made soup
Tonight. I didn't use enough "substance"..
Justin said,
"Well I've had my 8 glasses of water today."

Father's Day 2017
 

Send help πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
I’m Cooking chicken spaghetti. I Had chicken left over. 
I Mixed the extra cut up chicken w Mayo, dill etc for chicken salad sandwiches tomorrow evening.. 
I was looking and the color looked funny — I never boiled the chicken. It was raw ...
πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌ
 πŸ₯  ☠️




Stella: who made these potatoes?
Me: Me
Stella: ohhh
Me: why? You don’t like them?
Stella: Yes ma’am, it’s just probably  my teeth just aren’t that strong yet 






When I coated & breaded my hamburger steak- it fried an egg on top!!

Cherry on Top

   Before Stella was born, I wanted this dress bc it says Cheri. "Mon Cheri" = "My Darling" ... and her middle name is Cherie. It's Mini Rodini- which I LOVE! So glad I found it on eBay (in Australia) 


We love Alana 

Always fun with Cubby!


I told Stella to whisper. She said "mom you can't tell me not to whisper" 
Um she got corrected real quick. Haha

She tells me "I want a fruit tray"
