brrrr!</div>Jaimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15647768420398421860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107324186251141308.post-8358830462338053142012-03-04T14:39:00.000-06:002012-03-04T14:41:15.262-06:00oh, hi.I'm not really sure where to start since I haven't been around since october. whoops! so, as kingston would say, "what's up buddy? my name's kingston." (I go by jaime)<br />
<br />
life is crazy, and I've just been busy trying to live it. a lot of things have changed since october but a lot of things have also stayed the same. I still take over 100 pictures a day. my 2 year old son, kingston, still amazes me with his 10+ word sentences. I still like to drink wine and bud light (PLATINUM!). however, I do not still have an android - I HAVE AN IPHONE NOW. that's a pretty big deal. (instagram: jaimepederson, follow me folks!)<br />
<br />
some things you may have missed? for halloween kingston was a monster and I was kesha one night, a cat the next. in november I celebrated my 23rd birthday with my best friends, a surprise party, and too many shots. santa brought kingston a play kitchen, train set, shopping cart, play washer/dryer, and 28493 cars for christmas. my best friend holly and I rang in the new year on a party bus touring through rochester. kingston and duane had their first solo trip to california to visit duane's family. it was a miserable 5 days for this mama at home alone, I really missed my kid. on january 19th, kingston turned TWO. we had a "planes, trains & trucks" party for him that weekend. I made all of his decorations and our family and closest friends crowded into our apartment for an afternoon of fun. after living in the same apartment for over 3 years, our landlord agreed to let us paint kingston's room (a light grey called "two turtle doves") so finally all of his white furniture doesn't match his post-white walls. we bought a few new pieces from ikea, and I ordered some darling prints off of etsy to go above his crib. room tour coming soon!<br />
<br />
also? my obsession with instagram is a little out of hand so it only makes sense that I should post all the photos I've been taking lately. amIright?<br />

I'm a little exhausted from work, this stupid cold I caught from d, and running around after kingston all night, so you probably know what that means...<br />

<br />
I haven't been around too much lately, and I'm pretty sure I haven't picked up my DSLR in about 2 weeks. I'm constantly taking pictures of k with my phone, it's just so much easier since we're on the go all the time. we've been going on as many walks as possible and hitting up the park for as many hours as we can. also? applefest parades and concerts, halloween shopping and decorating, playing at "gamma & papa's" house, wine nights (chocolate milk for k), and working on k's toddler room. among other things!<br />

I wish I'd had <a href="http://laybabylay.com/the-little-admiral/">this kind of inspiration</a> when I started kingston's nautical nursery. my love for anchors and anything nautical is in love with this room.<br />

I happen to share this shopping habit with my mom, who constantly adds to kingston's closet - especially in bigger sizes. my old co-worker and friend, shauna, who has 3 kids under 4 has 2 older boys and is SO generous to come over with bags full of clothes for kingston. everything is always in awesome shape and pretty much brand new. her and I share the love of stores like old navy, baby gap, target and gymboree, which means kingston + old navy jeans & pants for free = happy mama!<br />
<br />
I thought I'd share a list of items on kingston's fall shopping list. some of these I've already bought but most are currently on his (my) wishlist!<br />

hellooo, friday (and september)! <br />
<br />
if you follow me on twitter then you know I spent last saturday through tuesday at my parent's house with my family patiently waiting for my dad's arrival from afghanistan. he spent a week debriefing in new jersey and was supposed to be home on saturday. my older brother jeremy and my 9 year old nephew jordan came on thursday from virginia to be here with the family. we waited and waited and waited. every day dad would call and say his flight has either been delayed or cancelled. we tried to pass the time by playing badminton and kickball, tossing around bean bags and playing at the park. we also ate entirely way too much food.<br />
<br />
he called on monday and said that he finally has a plane ticket for tuesday and will be landing at 12:07pm. my mom, jeremy and jordan left to pick him up on tuesday. it figures that the day my dad is coming home, the weather decides to go from hot and sunny to gloomy, cool and rainy. depsite the sprinkling rain, I grabbed some of kingston's sidewalk chalk and decorated the pavement in front of my parent's garage with a big welcome home sign. it also figures that an hour before they pulled up into the driveway, it started pouring rain and completely washed my sign away. I quick whipped up another welcome home sign on a few pieces of paper and taped it to the front door.<br />
<br />
kingston and my dad were always close. they were best buds! my dad left for afghanistan when kingston was 9 months old. he came to visit for 2 weeks when kingston was 14 months and it didn't take long at all for kingston to remember who his goofy grandpa pederson is. for the past couple weeks I've been reminding kingston that papa is going to be home soon. so when we ask him, "who's going to be home soon?" he smiles and yells, "PAPA!" he also points to his picture whenever we ask him "where's papa?" we weren't surprised one bit that an hour after seeing and playing with my dad, kingston warmed right up to him and started calling him papa. it was pretty awesome to see those 2 back together again. (lots of pictures coming soon, friends!)<br />
<br />
I'm happy to be back and am slowly but surely catching up on my favorite blogs! check out a few of my favorite things lately...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.mrsstephaniet.com/">stephanie</a> tweeted about <a href="http://www.lilawashere.com/">this website</a>. every single picture is adorable and creative, so many inspiring shots.<br />
<br />
happiness for your walls? yes please. <a href="http://www.shannamurray.bigcartel.com/">these illustrated decals</a> are adorable and perfect.<br />
<br />
if you are slightly obsessed with blue mason jars like me, then you're going to love <a href="http://www.notjustahousewife.net/2011/09/make-blue-jars.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FlUkHL+%28Not+JUST+A+Housewife%29">this tutorial</a> on how to make your own blue jars.<br />
<br />
I stumbled upon this seriously awesome <a href="http://www.momtastic.com/home-and-living/home/167987-diy-chalkboard-banner">DIY chalkboard banner</a>. I made kingston's 1st birthday banner, and I'm definitely using this idea for his 2nd birthday banner.<br />
<br />
I someday hope to have a little girl, and <a href="http://laybabylay.com/flamingo-baby-shower-download-giveaway/">this flamingo themed baby shower</a> is such a cute idea. <br />
<br />
I really want to make <a href="http://www.thehungryhousewife.com/2011/02/antipasto-kabobs.html">these antipasto kabobs</a> before summer is over. yum!Jaimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15647768420398421860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107324186251141308.post-79901096361078445292011-08-21T17:16:00.000-05:002011-08-21T17:16:16.864-05:00a work in progressI mentioned a few posts ago that I'm in the process of switching up kingston's nursery to his big boy room. I'm not doing a theme route this time, just filling it with DIY projects such as canvases above his crib, a chalkboard/white board easel and random items to make the room "his own." <br />
<br />
I love making art, and I especially love to paint. I haven't figured out exactly what I want to do with the (3) canvases for king's room so in the meantime I painted a little something for sonya (my boss/amazing friend) for her 35th birthday this friday. I'm really out of practice and threw this painting together at 11pm last night. to be honest, I was just really excited to peel off the letters to see what it'd look like. I don't love it, but I think sonya will, so I guess that's what really matters.<br />

</div>1) cut out your letters to get a better idea of placement and how you want it to look<br />
2) peel and stick the letters to your canvas (mine didn't stick as well as I had imagined)<br />
3) paint and (optional) drink wine<br />
4) peel the letters off and admire<br />
<br />
since my letters didn't stick that well to the canvas some paint got under the letters, but I actually really like the effect that it gives. if you have the same problem, you could add a step 5 and fill in the letters with white paint if you want it to look cleaner, but I'm really liking this result.<br />
<br />
kingston and I pretty much lived in hobby lobby every night last week to take full advantage of their 40% coupons and 50% off almost everything in the store. I scored big when I spotted a 2 pack of 16x20 canvas boards for $7.99 which I then took 40% off of. I ended up buying 3 packs because no way am I passing up a deal like that.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6080/6063395937_a677d43c64_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" qaa="true" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6080/6063395937_a677d43c64_o.jpg" width="544" /></a></div><br />
the other day we had a tragic accident. kingston flushed my car/house keys down the toilet. the kiddo has always loved keys and has an on going love for all things potty related, so we should have seen this one coming. it took me by suprise as I was flushing the toilet and out of nowhere kingston flies in the bathroom and tosses my keys in the water. my ninja-like skills failed me and I wasn't able to retrieve them in the .2 seconds I had. I immediately called my boss sonya who I had just been shopping at hobby lobby with, she told me she'd call her brother and ask him what to do, then call me back. I then text duane the not so good news and decided to call our maintenance man for advice. he pretty much told me my keys are most likely gone forever but I did what he advised me to do and stuffed a few pieces of toilet paper down the toilet and flushed. <br />
<br />
GOOD NEWS (false hope): the toilet clogged right away, and I agreed to pay $30 for him to come the next morning to tear the toilet apart and hopefully save my keys. <br />
<br />
BAD NEWS: duane called me the next morning while I was at work to inform me that, indeed, I had to pay $30 for our maintenance man to tell me my keys are long gone.<br />
<br />
if you're thinking, "no big deal, just use your spare" then I will tell you that duane (I'm 99% sure it was him) "misplaced" my spare a few months ago. another huge bummer? both my regular set and spare set had come with an awesome remote starter which comes in super handy when you have a child about to get into a boiling hot or freezing cold car. <br />
<br />
I now have a pretty dang expensive new set of keys with a remote starter, along with new wall hooks to keep our keys out of kingston's reach. he'll have to learn to love his fake set of keys we got him for christmas last year. like most babies, he's never had any interest in "fake" toys. figures!<br />
<br />
and, since we're on the "potty" subject, I might as well let you all know that kingston is a potty training CHAMP. we're fully aware that he's only 19 months old and that potty training boys can be a lot of work, but HE has been showing so much interest the past few months that there's really no stopping him or us. if he's into it, then we're into it and plan to teach him as best we can. he's always gotten excited when we tell him that we have to use the bathroom. he even hands me toilet paper, you guys! (and grabs a few pieces for himself and rubs them on the back of his shorts) we're pretty sure he's got #2 down pat - as long as he lets us know in time to take his diaper off. and, of course, there are times where there's a false alarm and he tells us "no poop" when he's changed his mind. going #1 is going to take some work though, and we're definitely not getting rid of diapers just yet. we're just happy that he's already so excited about the potty training process and wants to learn! hopefully we can keep this up and ditch the diapers sooner rather than later.<br />

I had to drive duane's car to work on thursday (that story coming soon) and he had this song playing when I started his car. I had almost forgotten how much I loved it when I first heard it. this song makes me want to drink beer with my friends, and I think that's just great.<br />

happy friday, friends! I'll be back later with lots and lots of pictures from mine and kingston's walks and park time!Jaimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15647768420398421860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107324186251141308.post-29896059147027989672011-08-08T20:42:00.000-05:002011-08-08T20:42:00.122-05:00cheers to the freaking weekend!buffalo bill days '11 is over and done, and I'm super relieved. I'm not a teenager (underage drinking is naughty, yes) anymore and just one night of bb days was enough for this mama. my good friend whitney attempted her first bb days and she, too, had enough with the first night. <br />
<br />
we went to town friday night and met up with <a href="http://www.coffeeinmyclouds.blogspot.com/">holly</a> and some other friends. the bars, beer tent, streets, and sidewalks were crowded with people. we drank beer and took shots of a new drink called kinky, and I finally got to try my beloved UV cake. things got a little crazy over the next few hours and we ended up only getting 3 hours of sleep before having to wake up and go tubing on the river. everyone else had the same idea because the river was completely colored with tubes, it was freaking packed. I had 3 beers and that was more than enough, I pretty much pumped water down my mouth the rest of the trip. gahhhh. we stopped at two rivers bridge, along with everyone else on the river. a lot of this went on: bridge jumping, mud fights and floating around in our tubes watching crazy drunk people climb like monkeys up to the very top of the bridge... and then jump. after noticing how red whitney and I were getting (3 hours of sleep = forgetting sunscreen) we decided to leave a few friends behind at two rivers and head on down the river to our stop. whitney made a new friend, patrick, the night before so he decided to jump on our made-for-2-not-3-tube and float with us. he was drunk, entertaining and whitney enjoyed pulling his shorts down in front of other tubers. so many images I would love to forget :/<br />
<br />
besides feeling totally sleep deprived, we were starving. we picked up pizza, breadsticks and ice cream from a little restaurant called the creamery and brought it back to my parent's house. kingston and my mom were in the pool when we got there, and I'm pretty sure I sprinted right over to kingston and held him for an hour or, you know, however long he let me before squirming away. I like to make plans and hang out with my friends just like any other mama who needs some time to herself, but I really really miss that little pumpkin while I'm away. kingston can now say "whitney" and she taught him to "pound it" with his little fist. this little guy is so stinkin' smart with all the words and names he can say. *proud mama*<br />
<br />
whit and I got all dolled up to go out again saturday night but only made it about 2 hours before heading home to pass out for the night. we didn't even have a drop to drink that night. needless to say, next year we are going to take it easy on the first night out, drink plenty of h2o and sleeeeep. I failed at taking pictures BUT I did get a few random ones from the beginning of friday night. blah. oh and, I'm the blondie, <a href="http://www.coffeeinmyclouds.blogspot.com/">holly</a> is the brunette in glasses, and I'm sure you can all guess who my crazy friend whitney is.<br />

I'm really not a fan of their breakfast, but duane loves it and we hadn't been there since we started our diet (that we kinda fell off track with once we went on vacation, whoops). after breakfast I headed over to get my hair done. nothing fancy, just the usual blonde, a trim, side bangs, and face framing layers. I've been going to a new (MUCH CHEAPER) place for almost a year now and I adore the lady who does my hair, the only down fall of going to a cheaper (but still awesome) place is that they don't style your hair for you. so basically she blows my hair dry and I walk out with a hot blonde mess.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">kingston took a late nap and ended up sleeping for FOUR HOURS. it was insane. usually he sleeps for a good 2 hours, sometimes 3. my sister jess & brother in law dave came up to hang out with kingston and I at the fair going on in town, so we waited & waited for him to finally wake up. we went to perkins for dinner and throughout the entire meal kingston was a crazy kid and getting up in everyone's face yelling "HIIII HII HI HI." he's so entertaining and people just love him everywhere we go.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">the fair was awesome! kingston must have been wired after sleeping for 4 hours because he was SO excited about everything at the fair. he was jumping around and dancing like crazy - all while sitting in his stroller, haha. we walked around and checked out all the rides, games, food, and animals. they always have so many animals to look at and animal shows going on. kingston kept calling the horses and goats "dogs." hahaaa! they had an animal birthing center with a fake cow that kiddos could milk water out of, 2 huge mama pigs and all their adorable little piglets, baby chicks being born, and even a mama cow giving birth! it was crazy hot and humid out so I'm pretty sure our favorite (kingston's too!) part of the fair was the huge snow cones we got. deeelicious!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
while we were on vacation, we spent a sunday funday at SEAWORLD. they have a huge sesame street waterpark area for kiddos to run around and splash and play in. kingston absolutely loved it, and we all loved watching him have the time of his life as he ran around with the big kids, get sprayed in the face and play peek-a-boo with a slide. there's no better feeling than to see your baby (toddler, actually) have SO. MUCH. FUN.<br />

</div>after kingston completely tired himself out at the waterpark, we strolled around and checked out all the aquariums. dolphins, whales, penguins, sting rays, seals, sea lions, fishfishfish, and sharks, to name a few. I'm terrified of sharks but I totally love them anyway. (seriously is it shark week yet?) <br />

2 words: shamu show. holy awesome! I thought just watching the whales swim around in their enormous aquariums was amazing, then we watched the shamu show and I fell in love with those whales. I can't wait to go back and see it all again. so much fun!<br />

kingston did amazing alllll day. we were all so proud of him, and it definitely helps make the day go smoother. before we headed back home to duane's fam's house, his parents spent a fortune on our dinner. kingston enjoyed our $8 slice of pizza and $12 pasta dish. duane and I even shared our slice of cherry cheesecake with him, and he probably would have ate the whole thing if we'd let him. the ride home we figured he'd pass right out considering our fun filled day (and that it was WAY past his minnesota bedtime) but he played and sang and goofed off in the back with me the whole way home. he fell asleep about 10 minutes prior to pulling into their driveway, haha. figures.<br />
