i'v been really struggling on how to discipline Jaden. like how much does he know?? does he know when he does something bad? what are you suppose to do??
I don't want to spank Jaden. I have a few times, but it's only bc I have no clue what else to do. I'v said to my parents there's two things I'll never do or say to my kids. 1. spank them. 2. say "because I said so." didn't you freaking hate when your parents said that?! they tell you no and when you ask why they say "bc I said so" uh no. come on. when I tell my kids no I'll always have a reason and it won't be because I said so!
anyways...how are other ways to discipline your kids? I know I may have to spank but its not going to be an every day thing.
he had his first time out the other night by his father. I didn't think he knew what was going on. he's only a baby :((((
so can anyone who reads my blog please help a momma out! (((:

nest cupcakes...

i'm a pinterest freak and I saw cupcakes that were like these and I thought they were the cutest ever and I was going to make them one day..

well a few days ago my mother in law told me I had to make a desert for a shower we were throwing..I was like great..i'm not very good a making "goodies" I have my famous "oreo balls" but I really didnt feel like making those. they are SOOOO much work even tho they dont look like it. I was feeling lazy and was just gonna go to the store, but then I thought I can so make those nest cupcakes...heres how it went..

they had a recipe to make homemade cupcakes, but since i'm not very good at that kind of stuff I thought I would just make them the easier way(:

so far so good!

then to make the "nest" all i needed was my lovely husband &

1/4 cup corn syup

1 1/2 cup of sugar

1/2 cup of water

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

and just pretty much cook it.

(if you want to make it either look it up on my pinterest of tell me and i'll send you the link thing) I really don't feel like typing all of it since I have a 21 month old(:

then I made my mom make the eggs bc I couldnt! &&

they turn out looking soooo gooood! (:

Jaden loved them (:

then the next day they turn out looking like this! what the heck?!!!!!??

I guess you either have to make them the same day or keep them in the fridge! 

yeah, I say Jaden made these pretty cupcakes all by himself(:

maybe i'll try and make something new again sooon...or maybe not (; 

mudslinger fun run.

the boen fam have been getting into 5k's and stuff. then Daniel (cousin) got them to do the mud run. after i'v been to a few 5k this one was the most entertaining! watching people go threw the mud pit was hilarious! a lot of people pretty much dove in like Josh...and some people tried not to get muddy at all. if I enjoyed running I would of totally done this run! (;

sooooooory!

I haven't been blogging like at all here lately. hmm where do I start...
a little over a week ago we had Boen family pictures done. they came out pretty good...well at least one did! haha
I had a dentist appointment to get my teeth cleaned by my lovely sister-in-law. I hate going to the dentist and now Monday I have another appointment bc I have 2 cavities! :-/ yuck. I don't wanna shot in my mouth! - how did I give birth?! idk.
eah & timmy (leah & stormi) came down last weekend. I love when they come down & so does jaybird! neither one of us like when they leave:( anyways we went to the chili bowl. none of us have ever went to one before...let's just say I don't plan on going back unless I have to...haha
jaden's his own little man. he likes to do everything on his own even more than he used to & talking up a storm! yesterday I went and bought him his first pair of pants for this year and it made me SO sad! last year he wore 6-9 month pants (yeah even tho he was 12 months) well I bought him 18 month pants! thats way bigger! I can't believe in 79 days he will be 2!
well I think that's it for now. I'll try to post more often! (:
