Our new place


Following Stephanie's lead we decided to just go for it and purchase a place more in line with our dreams. We're not too showy so it's just a simple little place we can feel comfortable in - at least for the next few years. Go to this link to check it out!

Constant Craving...

This pregnancy has been different than all of the rest - I guess each is unique. A few yers ago I decided "cravings "were bunk and were just regular cravings that I let loose when pregnant to the point of complete chaos. That seemed to slightly curb my habits when I was pregnant with Andrew, but this time around that discovery was too buried in my past or something because I have an UNCONTROLLABLE NEED for tabasco sauce. And at first glance - hey what's the harm in that -but the crappy thing about Tabasco is that it needs to be eaten with totally unhealthy foods. Usually creamy ones to control the heat. So I eat it on bagels with cream cheese, tortillas with melted cheese, pizza, eggs,...actually - just about anything. I can't seem to stop it so my next quest is to find something that meets that craving but could be considered healthy. The ultimate craving is actually for wing sauce. But eating wings would be like a death sentence for sickness. Anyone got any creative ideas on how to get that tasty vinegarry pepper flavor without all the fat and calories?

And - what were your unhealthy cravings and how did you control them?

College Station Ink

Every night before we go to bed we go in and make sure our kids covers are still on and what not. Last night we went in and saw that the noise we heard the boys making after we put them in bed included Elijah giving himself some tattoos with a permanent marker. So today I asked him to pose for me to show them off...
I don't know what most of them mean - I guess he doesn't know what most tattoos mean - thankfully. That makes it seem like he sees a lot of tattoos. I don't think he does...hmmm....These are my particular favorite designs - the gun and the skull. What a sweet, peace-loving child... but I do love Elijah's skulls.

Come on Down Thanksgiving!

Well here's this year's costumes... Elijah is Harry Potter and Andrew is Superman. We went to the ward trunk or treat. That's no wig on Elijah - we sprayed his hair - and that boy has a LOT of hair. I think it's approaching the time when he needs to get a short hair cut. You can see how dark the water in the tub was when we were washing it out!
