Sweep, Sweep, Sweep

Merritt and I cooked this Pizza Bread for supper tonight

and made a bit of a mess!! When The Farmer started sweeping up, Merritt had to grab his broom and help out too!! Love my helpers and the Pizza Bread was super yummy!! Highly recommend making it (maybe without a three year old!) very simple and delicious!

Thanks JayJay for this very useful Christmas gift!! :)

Every time he uses his broom, it reminds me of when I was a little girl in dance and had a routine where we used little brooms! The song said "sweep, sweep, sweep" and I always sing it when he uses his broom!! :)

Bath Time!!

I let McCoy play with some bath toys on the floor while Merritt had his bath today and this what happened!! Eccckkk!! I finally just had to put him in the tub too!! I'm scared to blink for fear he will be heading off to college when I open my eyes!! ;)

Merritt used his bath fizz bomb that he got in his Christmas stocking...it turned the water the most gorgeous shade of turquoise!!

Big Brother is clearly not impressed!!

"Me too Mommy!!"

this child is getting his hair cut tomorrow...it hasn't been this long in awhile!! 

tempted to let it keep growing and see if his curls come back!! :)

Stuff I love: Todays Edition!

A few things that I loved today...

I love that this babe crosses his chubby little feet while he eats...LOVE!

Love that I FINALLY got my chalkboard calendar hung up!!  Isn't it cute?!? Guess which month I had to erase...November! November of 2013!! Yikes! Hoping this calendar keeps us more organized! The Farmer is a deacon at our church, has multiple farm meetings each month, and was recently elected District 1 Director of the Iowa Cattlemen's Assoc, so I really needed a way to keep all of his meetings straight!! Not to mention Merritt's social calendar!! Now we just needs a few more Mommy days on there!! haha!!

Yall, I LOVE these!! I have no idea where you can get them (my Momma sends them to us) but they are sooo yummy!! I can't even explain it...but they for sure make it on my today's faves list!! :)

Date With My Cowboys!

Yesterday, The Farmer and I took Merritt on a date!! We left McCoy with Grandma, so it would be a special day just for Merritt! I'm sure McCoy had a better time hanging out with Grandma, instead of being drug around with us all day anyway!! :) We went to the Sioux Empire Farm Show, had lunch at Ruby Tuesdays, spent two hours in Home Depot picking out my new front door (more on that later!), then ended with CherryBerry!! What a fun day with two of my boys!! It was great to have one on one time with Merritt, he is such a funny little guy!!

ready for the show!

his new "buckaroo" hat...not my favorite style, I prefer a cattleman crown, but this was all they had for kids hats at Stetson, and he LOVED it, so I gave in!! :) And let's be honest...he looks adorable!

bad pic but he was having fun with "Top" the bull!!

Mommy pop at Ruby Tuesdays! This boy loves some Sprite!!

Driving Mommy nutty!! :)

Race car driver!! The Farmer claimed he couldn't push it because his legs kept hitting the back...likely story!! ha!

It was huge and obnoxious... but totally kept him entertained for two hours!! Win!

CherryBerry!!!

iccckkk...Merritt's choices grossed me out, but he ate every bite! :)

He waited all day for this! Every time we stopped somewhere, he screamed "ice cream!!!" Note to self: next time don't tell him we will get ice cream today, at the beginning of the date!!

He waited pretty patiently for it, and even fell asleep on the way from Home Depot to CherryBerry (The Farmer had to make a few stops in between), I had to work pretty hard to make him wake up...no way I was letting this child sleep and not get ice cream! The meltdown when he would have woken up in our garage and realized he didn't get ice cream would have been EPIC!! :)
