Wordless Wednesday It’s A Boy!

In case you missed our announcement we're having another boy! I had to go back for another ultrasound to get better images of the heart and kidneys (of course I didn't mind going back). Last time baby couldn't stay still long enough for her to take anything. This morning was just the opposite! Luckily since he was positioned perfectly she went right for her shots when she started because 5 … [Read more...]

Twister Mania on Kinect for Xbox 360

My boys aren't huge gamers but when they do pull out the remotes it seems like they can get lost in the games for hours at a time. In the middle of winter when it's too cold to go outside this often seems like the answer to some fun. At least now that Xbox has added the Kinect you can start moving and get those muscles going while you're having fun and not even realize the work out you're … [Read more...]

Ouch! I don’t know which hurts more!

When it was down to the final months of wedding planning the decision of the rings came up. He had this old piggy bank that was as big as a toddler that his grandmother had given him and helped him fill when he was a child. He always knew he wanted to do something special with the money and since his grandmother had since passed it was more important to make sure that happened.Using it on our … [Read more...]

Eat Cake!

We have been running around here like crazy lately trying to get things done. Hubby thinks my nesting period has begun because while I'm normally happy in a messy home I have been obsessing over having our place spotless. I think I just like getting to decorate and I love the house looking festive. I can't wait to take down the fall decor and put up the Christmas tree next weekend. Did I just say … [Read more...]

Caramel Apple Crisp #Recipe

I use to have this Apple Crisp recipe that was to die for. It was a copy from an old co worker and when my house burnt down in 2007 so did the recipe. I didn't make it regularly so I definitely couldn't remember it. I was no longer working at that job so I had no way of replacing the recipe so since then I've been on the search for a new one. I stumbled across this Caramel Apple Crisp Recipe. I … [Read more...]
