Lucas and Jack are already great friends :)
At my sister in law Jessica's Super Bowl party I got to hold my little nephew Lucas' a majority of the time. It was so fun to watch his reaction to my swollen belly and watch him pat down and drool on his cousin. Funny thing is is Jack would kick or punch him right back which made us all laugh. It was fun to have two little babies moving around on my lap at the same time :) I bet Lucas and Jack will be instant buddies!

Cinnamon Rolls Galore!
Okay so last weekend I had an obsession with making hundreds of cinnamon rolls due to boredom, curiosity, and also a super bowl party I was attending :) Here are the results of 70 made Wednesday and 80 made Sunday! ya....I know :) It's my Great Grandma Hughes' amazing recipe and I had some help from my Auntie Tina, Mommy, and Grandma. The three best cooks on my side of the family :)
Rolling the dough out, tons of butter and cinnamon sugar.
Cut with dental floss and brown sugar and once again BUTTER lining the bottom of the pan.
Bake :)
Flip, and serve!

Operation: Getting the pets fixed!
Have you ever had to experience a cat in heat?? The CONSTANT howling, and rolling around on the ground? The crazed look in their eyes and the excessive neediness? Have you ever had about half a dozen Tom cats on your back porch making sounds as if they are going to DIE if they don't get with your little "slice" of a female? HAHAH well here at the Kenner house we have experienced this allllll too many times! Luckily as of yesterday we shouldn't have any strange cats coming through our doggy door at night and no more restless nights caused by miss Chloe pacing through the house.
Chloe is OFFICIALLY fixed! And OFFICIALLY pissed off! I don't think I've received crustier looks than from my kitty these past two days. She also has to be kept indoors for a week and is being a monster! We have been keeping her in the laundry room because she just sits and scratches at the back door otherwise....sigh....at least we got this all over with before our baby arrived (THAT would have been a nightmare!)
On the other hand....We decided to just go ahead and get Maddie our 5 pound pathetic little puppy fixed at the same time...oh dear! She is probably the saddest looking living thing you have ever seen right now! When we dropped her off she looked completely TERRIFED! She was shaking and they had to pry her out of my arms. She didn't understand why we were dropping her and her sister off in this strange place, Chloe just looked grouchy while she honestly looked like she was going to cry if that is even possible. (I'm a wimp I started bawling as soon as I backed out of the parking lot, I guess I just felt kind of guilty on top of all the pregnancy hormones.)I picked her up as soon as the vet said she was awake enough to move and her sweet little face just made me melt! Her eyes were all squinty from the anesthesia and she just about jumped a foot into my arms. In the car she was acting so funny she was trying to burrow deeper and deeper into my jacket and wouldn't let me put her down for the rest of Wednesday night. Every time I got up from the couch to go to the bathroom or fix a snack she HAD to follow me and she was still so wobbly that she kind of would walk sideways and had to stop and catch her balance a few times. I ended up just carrying her around the house the entire night and she was just passed out in my arms the whole time. So sad :( We made a little bed up for her on the ground because the doctor said she can't jump or do too much strenuous exercises for the next week. (Poor little thing can barely get the strength to go through the doggy door)Well, all night she made these heartbreaking little whippers cause I'm sure her little tummy just kills. We were able to give her some pain medication this morning and she seems to be perking up. I sure love that little pup! We have had her in our family for longer than we have been married! She has just always been there to make our day and she is so loving. When Chris got home from class last night she wouldn't stop wagging her tail and gave him about a million kisses! It's funny how much a pet can be part of the family :) I just wish Miss Chloe wasn't such a complete grouch!

Working in a financial institution
I love my job at US Bank. I have developed more as a person and career wise then I ever have with any other position I've held and I genuinly love my customers. Now that I've worked at the same location for 2 years now I know just about every customer by name and have true interest in their lives. I love chatting with them about their new babies, recent christmas adventures, and hearing all the good news they have pouring into their lives. I love how much my job has influenced Chris and my budget and learning good money managment skills from my banking expierience. I love my co-workers ( or lack there of ) and I have an amazing/understanding boss. I am honestly content and happy with my future within this great company.
The sad parts cut like a knife though...:(
Being yelled at for someone's negligence to their accounts and life troubles is no bueno. Trying to explain how you can help them and it not being enough is no bueno. Physically hurting inside and wanting to help someone so badly, but not being able to, is no bueno. Today I actually prayed someone's line of credit would go through because I wanted the bank to be able to help them so bad. You come into contact with somemany people in need while working for a bank and it really opens your eyes to how lucky you truly are. I just want to help anybody and everybody I can it just sucks that there are limitations.

Painting baby Jack's Nursery
I had 6 days off this past week and I wrote a list of everything I wanted to get done before I went back to work. One of the things on the list happened to be painting our little boys room, I was so excited to go pick out the paint and paint with my hubby :) Mine and Chris parents were busy all weekend so we ended up just painting the room ourselves, we had a lot of fun, and it didn't take too long either. I love talking with Chris about the little guy in my belly and planning our future together we sure can't wait to meet this little stud! Only 150 days to go!
