Like A Kid In A Candy Store!

Alright, I have always had a love for Dippin' Dots. Growing up there was a little store at the mall and when they closed it was as if the world ended (ok maybe I'm being dramatic, but that's how much I love the stuff). I've had some a few times over the years at amusement parks and zoos. Last weekend I was spoiled and had it twice and the Tipton Pork Festival. We went once with Clint's Mom and Jerry, then again with them and took Cody. His mom was kind enough to get me some :)

Last night was date night and we went to see The Bourne Legacy (pretty good movie). Afterward neither of us were really hungry and we had planned on eating dinner, but plans changed. Clint had heard there was an actual Dippin' Dots ice cream store near by, and he decided to find it for his lovely wife. It was kind of late and we figured it was closed, but when we got there... they were open! Do you know how excited I was... even Scooter was excited he started kicking like no other (that's the nickname we have given our little boy for now). Of course there was no way we were just going to drive by and not get any, this pregnant lady wanted some. The boy working said people get pretty happy when they find the place, but when I told him I had taken pictures, he said that was a first haha! Leave it up to me to be the crazy kid. they had so many choice of 'ice cream' and the 'ices' it was hard to make a choice. They even have cakes, and milkshakes, and so much more! Who would have known?!?! Clint ended up getting a milkshake and I went for the normal large serve of 'ice'. I've never been a fan of the ice cream there, the texture of it when it't that frozen is weird, I always get the 'ice' (it's more like a sorbet almost, but it's just flavored ice). Anyway I went a little picture happy because I wanted to share this place with everyone!

Words cannot express how amazing this site was to me!

Had to have proof the place was real, and that I was there :)
Sorry it's dark, like I said it was late

Forget a welcome rug... I want one of these for our house!

Taking it all in. Look at those cute car stools even.

Clint was so excited he found this place for me (and to have some lol)

Alright I look like crap... but for real this place  was worth a crappy picture for lol

Look at what all you can get!!!

Someday I will own one, just not when I'm pregnant so I can wear it more often .

That's right... a Dippin' Dots ice cream cake.

Some of the Ice flavors

They had 3 big cases full... so many choices to be made
And I couldn't even get 1 entire case in the picture, just imagine...yum

You can even layer your flavors if you want!!!!
I had Rainbow Ice on bottom and Watermelon Ice on top.
It was delicious. 

NOW you want to come visit me don't you?!?! ... I want you to come visit, that way I have another excuse to go get some! Come on over to visit :)

Baby Bump...

I guess I should post some of these pictures, since I've put doing so off for so long. The pictures are in growing order... but I honestly don't remember when they all were taken, sorry I'm a slacker like that. Enjoy.

Fall = Love

I love Fall simply for the fact of pumpkins! Pretty sure everyone knows how much I LOVE LOVE anything pumpkin, even carving them. Today it finally seemed like fall to me, so I decided a homemade pumpkin pie with whipped cream and hot chocolate was needed. 

 Preparing for pie making time!

 Poured and ready for the oven...

 ... I'm impatient I want it now...

 ... Just a few more minutes....

It's finally done!!!!

(ignore the cut in the center... making sure it was done all the way through)

Fun with Cody

Lately we've had the chance to take Cody to some fun activities, and we wish we could have taken the twins but things are complicated with them. So I figured I should post a little update since it's been awhile.

The first few are at the hospital's family picnic day. Since Brenda (my mother in law) works there she invited us to go with her.

 Clint and Jerry playing basketball... it's harder than it looks.

 Clint, Jerry, and Thomas (our nephew)

 Cody was so excited to do this! Fun right?!

 He had a hard time staying up, it was funny to watch!

The next couple are just at the pork festival. The town next to us has this every year. They have little miss porky competitions and a lot more. It was my first time going and I was glad to go... I found Dip N' Dots there so that was a bonus :) They have a couple of streets for just rides so of course Cody thought he just HAD to ride some... and of course Grandma let him. Overall I think we all had a good time just spending time together and getting out of the house.

 Cody wanted to do his Mohawk before we left, so this was the best I could style it.

 Cody trying to ring the bell. He got up to powerful, that's the third one up, he was pretty proud of himself

 Cody's the kid in the green next to the girl in the white shirt... third from the left I guess

 I tried a couple times to get a picture of Cody on this, but it turned to quickly. He rode this one twice he liked it so much.
