Fat Daddy Bake Shop
Chocolate is a girl's best friend...seriously! I was getting over my dry socket and starving! And of course I just had to come across a little piece of heaven. I normally don't get excited about food on the internet, but this shop was simply irresistable!


Nicole is a SAHM who creates lovely cupcake delights. She uses high quality and fresh ingredients. And I have to say that the service is superb! I ordered on Friday and she baked and shipped by Monday. I was eating it by Wednesday...fresh, moist and oh so sweet. I guarantee that you have never had another cupcake like it. Her combinations are right on, and the presentation is brilliant! Even comes with a fork so you can dig right in! But, be warned these cupcakes weigh in at about a pound. So save some for later! (even though I didn't lol)

  Actual knitting! That's right! I finished something! I am hooked on making the ballband dish cloths from Mason Dixon Knitting. They are so thick and scrubby! I really liked the pattern.It was super easy to follow and fun too. I already started on a third.


My only issue seems to be that I can't bare to use them on dishes! Think anyone would notice if they lived in the shower instead of the kitchen sink??

  Almost back to normal... Well, the swelling is almost gone...thank goodness!

I had a follow up with the surgeon yesterday, and it went really well. He was impressed with how fast I am healing, especially with a dry socket. And I have to admit, I was nervous he was going to be mad at me since I refused to go in and have it packed, but he was actually surprised that I was doing so well without him. So good deal! Next week it's back to work for me!

Since I was doing so well I decided to take the boys to the zoo, their most favorite place...ever. And it was really nice out. The temperature was perfect and there was no wind. It was nice to walk around without getting dehydrated!

The boys had a blast and I got to take some pics of the animals...win win situation if you ask me.

After that we decided to take them to the tram. "The World's Longest Tram" to be exact. It was our first time, but we knew it would be fun.
It was absolutely breath taking.

You travel about 4,000 feet up the Sandia Mountains and you can literally see 11,000 square miles of New Mexico. And all of this in only 15 minutes. Once you get to the top there is skiing ,a restaurant (which I DON'T recommend), hiking trails and million...no...billion dollar views.

There was some pretty heavy cloud cover, so I couldn't take too many pics, but I wil definately be going back. Maybe during the ski season (if we have one this year lol).

The snow would be just gorgeous from that far up!

Bryce did really well with the height , but Levi was clingy and not sure if he liked it or not. But as soon as we hit solid ground he was off on a mission. A mission to find more "coneys". We got back on the tram a couple hours later and by then it was getting windy. 32 mph...they close it at 45, so we were good :)

  Dry Socket... Well it seems that I have developed a dry socket thanks to my good ol buddy, TMJ. Apparently I grind my teeth at night and that dislodged the clot. So yippee. PAIN! But I refuse to go back to the surgeon and have him pack it because...well...I'm stubborn and it will heal on it's own. But it looks like I am gonna be out a little longer than expected. Shoulda known. Thank goodness for clove oil and ibuprofen. Did I mention I've lost 10 pounds since the surgery? Not the way I would've liked, but hey.

  Ouch... Yesterday I had my wisdom teeth surgically removed. Luckily I only had 2, both on bottom. Bad things is I have severe TMJ that has been aggravated by the infection one of the wisdom teeth was causing. And today...well I feel like I have been smashed in the face by an ice cream truck...did I mention they removed some of my bone as well? I can barely open my mouth, headache, neck ache, stitches....ick. The surgery itself wasn't so bad, and even yesterday I was doing all right, once I took the gauze out. The only thing I really remember from the surgery is the doc putting the IV in my hand and then asking me if the room was spinning yet. Then it seems like two seconds later I woke up next to two girls who were crying for one reason or another. All I could think about was food lol. I guess that's what I get for not eating at all the day before.
