Oreo Bon Bon's - By Request!

While co hosting a baby shower today, I was asked to post this yummy bon bon recipe! Here it is!

1 package of regular oreos
1 package of chocolate almond bark
1 8oz package of cream cheese
package of toothpicks

*Finely blend the oreos using a Food Processor or Food chopper
*Make sure the Cream Cheese at room temperature and use hands to combine the oreos and Cream Cheese together to form a big ball
*Then from that ball make tiny balls, as many as it will make (it all depends on how big you would like them)
*Line a cookie sheet or platter with wax paper to place the oreo balls on
*Once you have those all made, place a toothpick inside each one
*Place in the freezer for 1-2 hours
*Before you take them out of the freezer, place the almond bark in a deep bowl in the microwave for 90 seconds, stir, and if needed place in the microwave for another 15 seconds until melted
*Take and dunk each bon bon in the almond bark making sure you cover the entire bon bon and place back onto the wax paper
*When the almond bark is hardened, twist and pull out each toothpick
*Take another toothpick dunk into the remaining almond bark to fill each hole on each one of the bon bon's
*Enjoy!

Tomorrow's the day to run another 5K!

Tonight after work we are heading to my parent's house for the big Water Carnival celebration - we go there every year on Father's Day weekend because there is always lots to do! Parades, food, carnival, fireworks, and especially time to spend with my wonderful hubby, who is an amazing dad, and my father, who is the best in the world! I am pretty lucky to have such wonderful men in my life.

Besides celebrating Father's Day, enjoying the Water Carnival, and hopefully some wonderful weather...I will be running in another 5K. This run should be lots of fun because it is along the river and I get to run this one with my hubby! This is our first 5K together and we are both very excited. I do not know if we will finish together because he is a foot taller than me, but it will definitely challenge me...and who knows...maybe we will finish together, I would love that!

*Sorry about no recent pictures...I always forget to get the cd's to download them on the blog. Hopefully soon...the challenge is to get some posted after this weekend!

The results!

Thank you all so much for your prayers...

Just checked on our "my chart" with our clinic and the results to aspen's ct scan are that everything is NORMAL! PRAISE THE LORD!

Tomorrow is the day!

It is Tuesday night and Aspen is just about to hit the sack for her big morning tomorrow.

My wonderful parents are so gracious to come up to help out with Titus while Aspen and I head to the hospital for her CT scan. We are having a CT scan done because she has had 3 febrile seizures and we just want to make sure that there isn't anything more wrong and maybe find out some answers to questions we have been having as each seizure has come and gone.
So tomorrow we will head to the hospital and we need to be there at 8:30AM and if all goes well and Aspen cooperates and lays there still for at least a minute, they will not have to sedate her, and if she does not lay there still then they will have to sedate her. Our prayer is that they will not have to sedate her, so PLEASE PRAY for that! Also, just be praying that they find nothing, that everything is just fine! If there is something, we just pray that we take the right steps in what we then need to do.

Thank you all for your prayers and I will definitely update you all on how she does and what the results turn out to be!

What a Day!

I feel like a walking zombie today!

This morning at 2:30 Titus woke up just continuously coughing and so I brought him downstairs so that he wouldn't wake Zac up and so from 2:30 until about 5 Titus was "sleeping" but coughing and Aspen was doing the same thing, only she stayed upstairs in her bed...but I still had to hear it! It was crazy, and definitely not fun to hear.

I am tired...I should have stayed home from the gym this morning, but instead...I went...which felt good at the time, but that did not last long.
Titus was tugging very hard on his ear...and so I thought to myself, another ear infection, brought him into the Dr. and turns out he is getting his back molars in.
Went to work, and that just did it...it drained me! I found myself snacking on food to keep me awake which defeated the purpose of my workout today, OH WELL!
Came home and had a nice dinner with my wonderful family and will definitely be turning in early tonight.

Tomorrow is another BIG day. It is our MOPS garage sale and I am very excited about it and praying that the rain will hold off for at least most the day. Despite the rain I know that is is going to be fun!

And I know that is has been awhile since I have posted photos...I will definitely post some tomorrow. I finally took all the photos off of our computer and have them on discs and so now when I am on Zac's laptop I can post them on the blog...I am super excited!

BIG PRAYER REQUEST...
On June 10th Aspen goes in for a CT scan. This is just to make sure that the seizures that she has been having are indeed febrile and are only caused by fevers. We are praying that all goes well and that Aspen will cooperate that day and we are also praying that it is nothing, but if it is something different that we will know what to do further. So if you all could pray her her this coming Wednesday, her scan is at 8:30 AM we would greatly appreciate it and I will definitely keep you all updated on how things go!
