SCORE!

Now don't be concerned, we are all doing just fine. This depression has to do with one thing and one thing only . . . IT's SNOWING!!! I am so NOT ready for the snow, especially now that I have a child. We will really be stuck inside now. Which is a shame, because sometimes you really just need to get out. I love being outside, and so does the P. How do you stay at home mom's function during the winter? Really, what do you do? Do you just go visit other stay at home moms? Do you bundle your child up and brave the snow? Really, what is a mother to do!!!?? On a plus side, it is pretty and I like that, but that is about it. I cant wait to get back to sunny California!!! LAST WINTER IN UTAH, WOO HOO!!!

So these clips are from at least 3 week's ago, I have just been slacker blogger and I apologize. But I figured some might still enjoy watching. This was his first forward progression. He is an EXPERT backwards crawler and likes to get himself stuck under tables and chairs. Going forward it not his favorite, but he gets better every day! Enjoy!

Honestly . . . this cant be true, but I guess the calender doesn't lie. If you thought time went by fast before, just wait till you have kids! It just FLIES. Anyway, my little man is 7 months and this is possibly my favorite so far! He is so stinking cute! Everyday I am in awe that he came from me and that he is mine forever. Having kids is so much more fun then I thought it would be. He makes me laugh everyday. It is so awesome to watch him learn and grow. I love his laugh, his smile, his everything. Now I have a better understanding of why we are to multiply and replenish the earth and find joy and rejoicing therein. Now don't get me wrong, of course there are challenges, but the positives completely outweigh them! So here are a few of my favorite things about the P right now: His adorable bottom 2 teeth His interest in literally EVERYTHING How he growls How he squeals How he LOVES too look at other babies both in person and pictures and he gets so excited it is so ...

This is what one of our friends says anytime you make a good purchase. So this is going to be a post about all of the items I am SO glad we got for the wee one. I figure I have a lot of friends who are also starting families and they might benefit from knowing what I could not live without! So here goes. BUMBO! The amazing all purpose chair. When the P was just a few months old, he just wanted to watch and see what I was doing. I would sit him in this up on the counter and he just loved to observe. It was perfect when he was not strong enough to sit on his own, it gave him support and still gave him the ability to use his arms and turn his head. Now we still use it. Mostly to feed him solids, but I use it for other things too. He still doesn't know how to get out of it, so anytime I want him to be still and just play it is perfect! I love this chair! Rubber Ducky This is our most recent purchase and I LOVE it! For the first 5 months or so we just brought the P into the ...

Hey Friends, I have never really shared a recipe on here before, but I appreciate when other people do so here goes. This recipe is SOOOO easy and it really was super yummy! I got it out of the "Worldwide Ward Cookbook" my mom got me last year. Salsa Chicken Ingredients: 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast per person, frozen (I used 4) Bottled or homemade red salsa (I don't even know what kind I used, it was a small bottle and Tostitos brand and was chunky) Salt and pepper to taste flour tortillas Lettuce, chopped Cheddar cheese, shredded Sour cream green onions, sliced black olives, sliced In a Crock-Pot, layer frozen chicken breast with salsa. (You don't need to completely cover the chicken with salsa; just smear a little pile on each piece of chicken. I did however use the entire jar for ours) Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook all day on low (we probably only cooked ours 4-5 hours). Before serving,shred chicken with a couple of forks. To serve place a smal...
