Our Thanksgiving Vacation

What an awesome Thanksgiving we had! It all started Thanksgiving Eve- Chad passed his Electrican Test, Yay! We later went down to Debbie and Rene's beach house were we would be staying the rest of the week while they camped in Oceanside. We were so grateful to spend time at this piece of paradise on earth! Kai loved the ocean! Falling asleep to the sound of the waves is something we all could get used to! ;)
Kai with Aunt Bre Thanksgiving day. Happy boy!
This is the seal that ventured up on the beach right out front of the house. He was just hanging out, checking us out and resting on the rocks for a couple hours. So fun!

Watching the sunset with my baby! We had an amazing time! There is so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving- the gift of our precious son is obvious, but we are also grateful for our God who loves us in spite of all of our sins, our family who support us and encourage us, our friends who bless our lives and bring us happiness and companionship, our freedom and our awesome jobs! Oh and we can't forget- TURKEY! :)

Feeling Inspired!

I am feeling inspired today! I love making homemade baby food for my beautiful boy! I really can't say enough about the huge advantage making your own baby food is. The price alone is an immediate seller. I buy organic, locally grown produce and spend about 15-25 dollars which lasts me at least a month. If we were buying the same amount of jarred organic baby food we would be spending about 100 dollars a month. Big difference! I also love knowing exactly what goes in my son's (cute) little tummy. No preservatives, no food dye, and no processed food for him. Another big plus is that I can introduce him to flavors and foods that are unique and typically not found in your average baby food. Currently, I am steaming some yams, zucchini, chicken, green beans and rosemary-all certified organic and yummy of course. I call it "R oast Chicken Dinner" - fancy huh? I will then dish them into my BPA free ice cube holders and freeze. After that, I'll make yams, peaches, pears ...

Time is rolling on and life is rolling right along with it! Yesterday was our official 1 month anniversary, it seems so small compared to 8 years of loving each other but still, celebrating never gets old! Rachel started her new job yesterday as a perioperative RN and UCI. I have never seen/ been a part of a more amazing hospital and the benefits are incredible, by far the best hospital around! I feel blessed to be a part of their periop team. We have a robot called The DaVinci that surgeons use to preform Urological surgeies ! It's a little overwhelming but we will learn and we will be great Rn's once we are done with our training program. This is a picture of my homemade pizza. The dough was even homemade ! It was a 2 hour event, I got a little stressed attempting to flatten the dough out after we had already flattened and then balled it up again. Note: After you roll the dough out DONT start over, just keep it flat, folding it over onto itself is a disaster...

When the Poop Hits the Fan- LITERALLY!

Day 4 in the bag! Phew, barely. Today was too classic not to blog about, so hopefully it brings a smile to your face. :) Woke up this morning with serious tummy issues only to find both Elijah and Jameson feeling under the weather.  Cancelled our Thursday playdate and we lounged around hydrating and just taking it easy (OK they were taking it easy, me, on the other hand, that's a joke. I am a mom of 3 littles after all. I was playing Mommy Nurse). Around 11 we sat down to do school. Now, Elijah's participation is hit and miss, which I completely expected.  He is always game for music time (he is a dancing king after all) and game time. But today he decided he wanted to join for all of it.  So little Mister with his pensive mind asked "Why?" only 80 gazillion times today.  We stopped and had a snack every 10 minutes (Elijah is my hungry boy after all) and a few water breaks (thirsty boy too). Get my drift? Lots of breaks and pauses with him a...
