Everything is AWESOME!

Greetings All!

I hope you are all doing well. So far we have had a busy month of August. This month we celebrated Logan's 3rd birthday. Since the current "in thing" for my kids is The LEGO Movie, we had a LEGO birthday. It was quite the crowd with all three of our boys, plus all three of their cousins, Grandma and Grandpa C, Nonie and Papa S., Uncle John, Antie, Uncle Robert, and Aunt Natalie. All the bigger kids had a good time building Duplo or LEGO sets and watching The LEGO Movie in the background. Did I mention my kids are obsessed with that movie?

Build Time at the LEGO party

This year I tried something new - fondant. I found a LEGO mini-figure mold for cake and I wanted to make that for Logan. I didn't really want to cover him with icing stars, since LEGO are smooth, so I decided to try fondant, and it was really fun to use! At the party, we used the mini-figure cake, and I tried to duplicate one of Logan's favorite characters from the movie, Benny, the "1980-something space guy"... I actually think it turned out pretty awesome.

Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!!!!!

For his "family" birthday, since Benny only took half a cake box, I made a round cake, and used some more of the fondant I had. We also bought a scene from, you guessed it, The LEGO Movie, and we used icing to 'glue' it to the top of the cake. This also turned out pretty....awesome.

Melting Room a la Cake

IN OTHER BIG NEWS, we are so excited that Papa and Nonie Sudar have finally sold their home in Texas and have moved up to Colorado. They are so much closer! YAY! It made this weekend visit so much less stressful because we didn't feel we had to fit everything in before we didn't see them for another six months or something. Nonie and Papa enjoyed hanging out with the boys.

We just could not be more excited. What a great month! The next big thing for us is Jack starting Kindergarten, and Logan starting Preschool. Stay tuned for more on that!

Until Next Time...

4th of July and Other Buzz News

Greetings to all! I have finally had time to upload some more photos for Flickr and the blog and can keep you up to date on the Buzz around our water cooler, so to speak. :-) We've had a busy 2 months! Nonie and Papa Sudar came to visit for a few weeks at the end of June and through the 4th of July. We all had a good time. We spent a few days down in Walsenburg with most of the Tressells which Jack really enjoyed. And we really enjoyed the small break from constantly watching Jack! Thanks everyone!! Catch Papa! Bubbles in Walsenburg Cousins Making Cookies! Since we've been back we have been working on getting all the stuff in our garage either back into the basement, into the trash, or ready for donation. Our goal is simple: both cars inside by winter. Hopefully we can make it happen! So far things are going pretty well with Baby Buzz. We went to the doctor's last week for an ultrasound because I was measuring small (just like last time). This time I guess Buzz is a li...

New Ride!

Well, it's no Mustang, but it is black! What we got was a 2009 Pontiac Vibe. At any rate, we both like it. It was a reasonable price for a smaller sized family-with-lots-of-stuff car. It served the purpose of "ease of child seat access" and "can load many groceries plus a dog" into the back. (You should have seen us try to get the rocking chair into the Mustang.) It also serves the gas economy purpose (31/28 advertised) and was not a big SUV, or a minivan. I have never been fond of driving huge cars or trucks! It looks like a five door hatchback to us, but I guess it is technically listed as a "wagon." Some things go full circle, eh Mom? Maybe a bit cooler than the Corona Wagon we drove in Texas, or whatever it was called. Sorry the photo isn't super great, it's raining and cold so I pretty much didn't want to go out of the garage. There are some more photos on our Flickr account (see link to right "other photos...") It act...

I'm Gonna Have To Get a Female Cat. . .

Today was our 20 week ultrasound and appointment! Everything is going really well. Baby looks to be about 9 oz in weight and has a good heartbeat of about 132 bpm. But enough stalling! It appears I remain outnumbered in our home now - 3 boys to 1 girl (5:1 if you count our feline friends!). That's right folks, another boy! How many of you were right??? We were able to get a nice "up from the bottom" shot that confirmed the gender. We also took a nice shot of his foot, and his profile. Actually, I think I was in there for 45 minutes and she took about 50 shots of various organs and body parts. We got the two thumb's up from the doctor that he's looking great. I also got some medicine to try if my nausea continues to be a burden. Yes, just today I was feeling sick again. *sigh* Just for comparison I looked up some of the posts from this time with Jack: Nov 2008 Some things are the same: I still can't eat fruit without feeling sick, and I'm dropping thing...

Five Boys Happy Home
