Food!

So, I meant to post these the nights I made them. I have a bunch of new recipes that I'm trying.
The first night was Autumn Penne Pasta w/ Brussels Sprouts. I've never tried brussels sprouts, so I was kinda scared. They were good! Taste like little cabbage. I didn't use penne and I don't think I put enough brussels sprouts in it.

The second night was a Mexican Casserole. This was really good! Mine looked nothing like her's. It was missing something, can't figure out what it is. I'm going to add black olives next time. 

The third night was Meatball and Spaghetti Soup. This one was really good too!!!! I did not make the meatballs. I hate making meatballs. I used frozen Italian meatballs. 

Hopefully you can try these. I'll have more later also. Enjoy!

Not to be resentful

So, I've decided to stay away from Pinterest and Facebook for a while. We found out at the end of November that we lost the baby. We knew it was a possibility, but honestly, when you get to 12 weeks, you think you're safe. We had an ultrasound the week before and everything looked fine. We went in the next week for the 12 week scan and find out what we were going to have (she's usually right, even that early) and found out.
I thought I had been doing ok with everything. I have my moments. I am so lucky, because I already do have two kids. But I want to know who this little person would have been. I want to know it's personality. What it's face would look like. I especially would like to know if it was a boy or girl.
Anyway, back to the point of this post... I have bunch of friends that are pregnant right now. As excited as I am for them, it hurts my heart to see all of their updates and pictures or their adorable pins on Pinterest. I definitely don't want to delete them or hide their feed. I think staying away for a while will help.

My Best Friend

Yesterday was one of my best friend's birthday. She lives in Arizona. I hate being away from her or my other best friend for their birthday's. So, I found a cute thing on pinterest, of course. It's a coffee cup, just a plain white one, but you use a permanent marker to draw on it. This is where I found it Saw it. Pinned it. Did it. So cute!
Here's my attempt:

As you can see, you draw the state that they are in and the state that you are in. You draw a heart where they live and one where you live. I know Arizona and Colorado are actually suppose to be touching. Shhhhh..... This way, I could draw the cute line from her to me.

Merry Christmas!

Hi! I hope you all had a great Christmas! We did. =) We had my parents, Frank's parents, his brother, and my aunt and uncle over to our house. I made my first ham. And I took a chunk of my thumb off while slicing potatoes. So much fun. The kids got too many presents, as usual.

Halloween

Hope you all had a great Halloween! Here's some pictures. Frankie was Batman. Madelyn was Minnie. She would not wear her ears at all. I made her tutu. =)

We had another ultrasound today. I'm about 9 weeks along.

Guess what?!?!

We are due June 6th 2013! So excited!

Hi guys! I wanted to share some recipes that I have found on pinterest.com. They have been pretty good.
First was this one, it's a cheesy chicken recipe. It was pretty good. I don't like that much cheese, so it was too cheesy for me. I made mashed potatoes to go with it. Yum
Crock Pot: Cheesy Chicken
I didn't take any pictures. Oops.

The next one is a beef stew. It was really good! It just needed more garlic and salt for me. =) I also added more potatoes.... I love potatoes. lol We'll be using this one this winter!
