Beans Beans the "Magical" Fruit...

Well family, have I got a ... fun story for you. You'll want to take your time to sit down and truly soak in my experience because trust me...its quite the experience.

It all began one dark night when I was feeding Lara's children dinner. Me being the great chef I am, I created a masterpiece of a meal, or so I thought (not really...I made the kids eat it and I pretty much gagged when I tried to eat it, so I got cereal lol, the rule was you had to be 12 to eat cereal and none of them are 12 yet hahaha) ANYWAY, so I made the fancy mac 'n cheese (the kind you bake) some canned peas, chicken dinosaurs and some ranch style beans...a mistake I will NEVER make again. It was a good night. The kids happily ate the strange combination of foods, some even having seconds. Well, when Ashlyn said "Tina da beans is goood in my tummy!" I brushed my shoulder off and said, "dang straight kid-cuz i made them," and she wanted me to keep them coming-so I did. (FREAKIN IDIOT...GOSH!!) Well, we did the bedtime routine and still all was well. So I went home happy and went to bed exhausted.

The next day (Wendesday) I woke up early and headed over to Lara's for the morning/afternoon. She went to bed to get some rest from being sick and all I had was Ashlyn. Well, while the two of us were folding laundry and watching little bear together, she kept hopping around like a frog going, "RRRRRibbit,"...I should have caught on to the extended "rrrrr" mixed with the fact that her face was turning bright red red and realized that she was pooping. Finally when I thought I might be smelling something gross, I asked if she pooped. She said no that she was a "big girl" who would go in the potty. LIAR! A few minutes later she was hopping around and stayed squatting for a few minutes going, "RRRRRRRRRRRRibbit!" and started smiling with a bright red face. I thought it smelled bad IN the diaper. hah... Wrong again. I look up and no, its not just in the diaper, she suddenly had a HUGE brown butt. Her jeans were soaked through. So stupidly (as if seeing poop on the outside of her pants wasn't enough) I looked inside the pants...yeah I nearly passed out. The stench was almost as overwhelming as the sight. So I shoved her in the bathroom and took off the pants to see the damage. It was so horrible, you have no idea. This made a wyatt poop look as good as a day at Disneyland. It was in chunks,m yes, wet chunks all over her legs. What was you asked? BEANS. Beans were falling out of the pants and were stuck to the poopy mass on her legs!!

So then I go to grab a grocery bag to make her stand in to pop the diaper off in. When I got back with the bag (2.7 seconds was all I was gone) she had grabbed the handfuls from her legs and was playing with it!!! I shrieked and said, "Ashlyn!! What on earth are you doing??" and she giggled and said, "Look Tina!! Beans! nummy!" and yes, as she said this she grabbed a bean and went to put it in her MOUTH! Me, being the mean woman I am, I flicked her hand and said, "OH NO! thats BAD! yuck yuck yuck!" Luckily instead of crying from fear she just laughed and went to stand in the bag. Well guess what happens when a two year old goes to step into something?They need something to balance them from falling. That being said, guess what her two hands FULL of beanie poop grabbed? Yep, thats right. My poor head was suddenly smothered in poop. I seriously went into shock. When I put my head down, beans fell off. BEANS FROM THE FLIPPIN NIGHT BEFORE! It was sooo disgusting. So the two of us hopped into the shower together, one big poopy mess. (That in and of iteself is a seperate story entirely). Ashlyn thought it was simply hilarious that she got the poop on me. She went around singing the whole day, "I poopied on tina's heeeead!! hahaha!!" Then, later, when I asked what she wanted for lunch, guess what her reply was. BEANS. You know what I said? Well, what I said and what I thought were two very different things, but what I said was "Heck no little girl, sorry but beans are yucky" to which she cleverly replied, "No tina, beans in da poopie are yucky. I like beans! They make me so happy! Beans are so wonderful!"

Never again will I make the fatal mistake of feeding a child such a ..."magical" food.
love you all,
Kris

Up and Running

Alright Family! Let's give this another try. I have updated the blog and made it much cuter (in my opinion). If you hate it let me know and we can change it. Also, if you would like a new picture on the side you can change it yourself (call me and I'll tell you how to do it) or you can email me a picture and I'll change it for you. I think blogging will be a fun way to keep in touch but you have to post and make comments, otherwise it do not work. I love you all and hope you have a great day.

Love, Kim

WYATT!

WE finally have a BABY! and kim, gotta tell ya, you and dev definitely make a cute hybrid! He is soooo handsome! I just love him!

Baby Blodgett Count Down!

Hey Fam!

I put a baby ticker underneath Kristina's picture on the left hand side of the blog. Check it out. It's kinda cool. It shows what the baby looks like each day and counts down until the due date. Have a great week. Love you all.

Hey everyone!

Pregnant Pictures!

Hey Fam!

Here are some pictures of me .... I'm starting to really show. Tell me what you think.



Love you all!

Well it has been a while since anyone posted. Things here in California are starting to get nice. It has been a little cool with a lot of rain. The rain has made it nice and green and there are a lot of flowers. It has been interesting with all of you girls gone. With Marissa up in Utah now it is quite different. Marissa, I think your dog is ready to come to Utah. Shea Corbin was married this week and we went to her reception last night. She looks really good. Let me know how you are all doing. I miss you all

Life can be the pitts

Well, apparantly no one enjoys blogging any more, so until you all do, I'm discontinuing my efforts in communication. Things here are a little stressful. The Special Olympics were cancelled this last weekend, so that was a complete disappointment. I can only imagine how all of those athletes must feel. Its colder than its been in over 30 years, which is DISGUSTING, and as of today I haven't been at my apartment in 7 and a half hours. Im going to go watch a movie for my Exceptional Students class so I wont be back at mi casa for another two hours, so Im grouchy. HOWEVER, it looks like I might be going to Utah THIS weekend instead of Presiden'ts day weekend cuz I really want to see mom and marrisa (and dad and candice and brian, but you all wont be there). So Rudy said he would take me this weekend if I would rather and we could spend a day in Salt Lake on the way home so he can see temple square and all the church history museums. :)
Well, I guess I should get back to work. I love and miss you all!

ARE YOU ALIVE??

Hi family. Brian and I arrived home last night from Utah. I really like vacations. (Sigh) Kimberly and I had a sweet time chillin' the past few days and eating caramel and chocolate covered pretzels. That was fun.
Marissa, I think you should come again. Kris when do you go back to Idaho? Are you going to stop and see me?
