Tex Mex Cheesesteaks

I am a huge fan of new recipes… the problem is that Jeff is so picky that finding something that is new that he will eat is tricky. This recipe fits his 5 year old taste-buds and is easy to cook. Given, if you are offended by processed meat… AKA Steak-Ums this recipe [...]

Our Lake… AKA Lake Spaulding

I did not grow up as a water person, I actually don’t think I would call myself a water person now, and I really am not a great swimmer. But thanks to our awesome friends the Prestons, I have actually grown to love being on the water, though it still takes quite a bit [...]

The Many Positions of Sophie

My little princess does not like to roll. As I think I mentioned before, tummy time is not her favorite thing. Yet, when she falls asleep she has to be on her side. This started happening a little at night.  Occasionally, as I posted before, she will roll over to her side [...]

What is with these birds?

Just before the 4th of July Jeff went to go get the mail, and found a fun present on his car’s trunk. On the corner right near the antenna was a dead bird, not too big, but big enough that we wondered how it happened to drop dead on our car. Not two [...]

Cute babies… a little late

When my friend Brittany sent me these pictures I didn’t have a blog… so this is a little old… but as I was cleaning my email inbox I found them and still think they are adorable. Our group of friends went on a baby run, and 4 of us had babies all born [...]

My funny little girl

If Sophie wakes up at night she usually ends up in our bed (I know, bad), and she falls back asleep a little faster if we hold her on her side and rub her back, then when we lay her down she is set for the rest of the night. One night we noticed [...]

Our favorite toys

These are the must have toys for my little princess. The Exersaucer… thank you to the fantabulous girls who gave me this at my baby shower… and the Prestons for showing us the amazing-ness of this toy. Not only does Sophie get to stand up as much as she wants, she has just [...]

Pride cometh before the fall

Just this last June we took Sophie for her first trip to Disneyland, and stayed with her uncle Sean and aunt Rachel. Rachel made this AWESOME foccacia bread and last night I attempted to replicate it. I had already bugged Rachel at work the night before to ask if there really was 1/4 [...]

Thank Heavens for Little Girls

I was changing Sophie’s diaper following her afternoon nap, as I was putting the diaper under her I felt a warm, wet sensation. Oh no!!! It was not the first time I had been peed on, but the last time it happened Sophie was less than a week old. All I can [...]

My first blog entry… how trendy

So here is my first blog entry, I have finally given into the subtle peer pressure surrounding me. Why did I start a blog? Is it because everyone else has one? Because my husband rarely comments on things regarding our lives, baseball seems more important? Or because now I don’t have [...]
