Nutty Buddy Balls

This is for Ashley and anyone else who loves Nutty Buddy bars. My sister in law Amber gave me this recpie. These were my neighbor candies and I took the left overs to our Ottley Family Christmas party. HUGE hit!

Nutty Buddy Balls
1/2 C. Butter
2 C. Peanut Butter
4 C. Powdered Sugar
3 C. Rice Crispies
1 bag Dipping chocolate

Soften butter and blend peanut butter together. Then mix in powdered sugar and blend well. Mix in Rice Crispies. Form mixture into 1" balls. Any bigger and they are too rich!
Melt dipping chocolate. Pour out chocolate onto marble tile and roll balls in chocolate to coat. Place on wax paper to cool.
**If you have an electric fondue pot that also works for melting the chocolate so that it doesn't get to hot. Also use tongs to poke balls and dip in chocolate to coat.(Less messy)

I hope you all enjoy!

Man Bag

Cooper has always been about emptying EVERYTHING out of my purse. Things have evolved all of the sudden. He just started to empty it one day and then tried to carry it down the hallway. Well that particular purse also doubles as a diaper bag so needless to say it is rather large. Instead of having him trip all over the place and hurt himself I decided to give him an old purse to play with. He kills me! He will pick it up and just start walking all over the house. Not slowly either which also kills me. Just this morning he thought it would be better to put the strap over his head and carry it that way. Which was terribly convenient when he crawled because it wouldn't get in the way.
Oh yes and Kris HATES this, but it is still funny to watch.
Here are some of my favorite pics I have taken over the last few days.

Surgery Update

We had noticed Friday that it looked like the scab had fallen off and the urethra they built was splitting. After a through stare I noticed it had split open, but it wasn't causing any pain so we figured we wouldn't worry about it. This morning we had an appointment to get Cooper's stint tube taken out. Sure enough the Doc said it had split open. He didn't give me any explanation as to why. When I say it split I mean the WHOLE urethra. There is just a 1mm piece that looks like its holding on; but even underneath that it split as well. Kris and I are so disappointed!
So it looks like we wait for it to heal while keeping an ever watchful eye that it doesn't scar over and completely block his urethra. It will be another 3 months before we go back and see how it healed and schedule another surgery.
BUMMER!!
