A very Iowan Thanksgiving!

Weds, my parents and I made the trek to Iowa to spend Thanksgiving with my Bro, SIL and precious nephew! It felt like a very long drive!
Once we got there, we made a pit-stop at Whitey's home to the BEST ice cream you could ever dream of!
I had a very cherry smoothie it was soooooo good!!
We got to their house and Grampy played in Benjamin's box. Mr B wasn't quite sure what to think of that..
Mr B LOVES his eeyore!!! He loves on it and lays his head down, it's sooo sweet! this picture with grampy in the box in the background cracks me up!!
Stinker face!!
A road worn Auntie and Snugglemuffin!!
This could be why he likes Grampy better than Auntie! I was growling at him. He liked it. I promise.
The one decent picture of me and my boy! I just LOVE him!!
hahaha drunk face. one day he will kill me for these pictures. But i'm safe for now!

I think this is such a precious picture! Mommy was putting on Yogi Bear, and Benjamin was helping her out!

Friday I was SOOOOOO excited! Apes came and spent the afternoon with me! We went to The Machine Shed restaurant, which was super cute!! And had some really good blt's!
You know we had to take a car picture! we totally didn't plan on matching in grey!
Ok so we had a little photo shoot at the Shed as well! Apes poses so well!
I was not nearly as cute as her!
Isn't she adorable?! We hung out at the house after with my parents and Mr B. He was pretty shy so he kept cuddling into my chest and under my chin. it was sooo precious. I love it when he's cuddly and shy!
Grampy fed him dinner Friday night. And they had a green bean fight. My nephew is way too smart for his own good! the green bean would get right next to his mouth and he'd chomp it shut and turn his head. and then he'd laugh! what a stinker!! :)
He was pretty proud of himself!
he also got to have cake for the first time! he was a fan. This is his normal pose while sitting. He always has his feet propped up on the end of his chair. Makes it very tickalicious!!
After we opened his birthday presents Grampy read him his Corey Combine book!! Side note, look at his GORGEOUS curls!!! I love his curly hair!!
And the morning before we left. Playing with Corey Combine and VROOM VROOM'ing. That child vroom vroom's all the time. He also moo's. It's pretty much the cutest thing ever! I miss my snugglemuffin allready!

I love Jesus & Sephora!!

 I am not a morning person. There are very few things I will get up early for. Friday morning I got up while it was still dark outside. My alarm went off at 6:45 am and let me tell you I have not seen that time for a very very long while! However, something really exciting was happening that morning! Sephora came to Tippecanoe Mall! THATS RIGHT FOLKS SEPHORA!!!!!!!! I love me some Sephora! Yes, it is expensive, but the quality is amazing, and in reality I spend less on Sephora products than trying to find something that works with my wacky skin at the drug store. I have been looking forward to this for weeks. I set my alarm early and ran out the door in a hurry! I got to the mall at 8:02 am. Sephora was opening at 10. I was not the first person there! I was about the 12'th person there and at first we were all smushed into this doorway which was really not comfortable at all. Thankfully the kind people at JcPenney let us inside the store so we could line up outside of Sephor...

Who needs a Knuckle anyway?!

 If you are squeamish and do not like pictures of fingers stitched up, now would be the time to close this post and come back another day!  I put this picture of my struggling get up for my shower first so that no one has to see the stitches if they don't want to. Call me kind :) Also, this get up did not work at keeping my finger dry.  So last night i was opening a box of books, and accidentally opened my knuckle as well. It's funny, it didn't really hurt at the moment. I felt it of course, but it wasn't horrible pain. Blood started gushing and I ran for the bathroom to get some tp on it and bandaids. I do NOT do well with blood and seeing all of it made me a tad bit light headed. I managed to find some gauze and tape and after looking at my finger and noticing that i could see INSIDE my finger and the knuckle skin was WIDE open, I almost passed out. hahahaha.. it was GROSS! I dr'd up my finger and tried to decide if it would heal on it's o...
