Update On Our Lives

I haven't blogged a lot lately so here is a little update on our lives. Cody turned the big 1 and he had an awesome birthday weekend. We hung out with his friend Parker at a water park and went home and opened presents and ate cake while we talked with Bubba and Gamma on the X Box. On sunday we went to Grandma Fugal's for the same thing presents and cake. Cody is walking everywhere. He still likes to crawl, but when he wants to, he will walk across the room and back and follow me from one room to another. Von has been crazy busy. He leaves every morning to go to work and usually comes home around 7 or 8 at night. So Cody and I don't get much playtime with him. He also is trying to find a job which is very very stressful. He is doing a lot better with finding companies that he might like to work for so it is getting exciting. I try not to get too excited cause everytime I do it doesn't work out for him, but he is a trooper and is so smart that I know he will find the job he loves. We just keep praying and having faith that Heavanly Father will put us in the right spot at the right time. I am still hanging in there with Cody and being 6 months pregnant. Everyday I have a different thing to worry about for when this baby is born. I don't think I was nervous to have Cody, but lately I am extremly nervous to have baby #2 and Cody to take care of. He is awesome with other kids so I know he will be a great big brother, but I am just nervous cause he loves to play and have that attention which I am not sure how much of it I will be able to give to him. Deep down inside I would love to be in California by the end of the year so Cody can play outside and have his own room compared to if we stayed here than Cody wouldn't be able to go outside as much with me and the newborn cause it will be snowing and freezing. Anyways, I know things will all work out for us, but it is hard not to have those days when you feel like the world just hates you. I am so proud of Von and Cody. Just seeing those two together makes me smile and know that everything will work out and what a great blessing Cody is and baby # 2 will be.

Cupcake Making

For Cody's 1st birthday I decided I wanted to make a cute cake since I knew I would never make something like this ever again. I have been obsessed lately with cupcakes and I thought that would be perfect since he is just a little guy. I found this recipe for monkey cupcakes. He is a goofball so the monkey part fit him perfectly. I have never made cupcakes before. I know sounds dumb, but I don't bake unless it is from a pillsbury box. I was really nervous, but it all worked out thanks to Von makng sure I didn't screw up. I didn't take a picture so here is the picture from the site I got it from. I was really excited that they turned out so good and that Cody liked them. For other birthdays I would love to keep making this stuff, but it is exhausting. At least I can say I did it once.
