Day 6

Another fab dinner! This is one of our favorite dinners. I found a recipe and just kind of made it my own with things that we like. It's a salad, but the unhealthy kind :) I got brave today and decided to make my own salsa for the first time, it was pretty easy, and turned out looking really pretty but taste wise it was kinda bland. It might be better tomorrow after it sits a while.

 

Day 5

What a great day. Well besides the "incident" apparently Rees scratched his Grandpa in the eye yesterday when they were playing around and this morning my dad woke up and couldn't see out of it so Rees and I took him to the eye Dr. and he is going to be fine it was just a scratch no permanent damage thank goodness. But after all that we came home and played, had snacks and took a nap, well he did I went crazy and decided to organize my craft room...big mistake too big of a project for the day. Then after his nap we played and played some more! I made dinner and we all watched tv together. What more could you ask for?

Now to to the meatballs. Oh my gosh you all have to try these delicious homemade meatballs. They came from my all time favorite cookbook The Pioneer Woman Cooks this cookbook is wonderful but you can grab the recipe for free on her website just click HERE.

Rees really enjoyed serving the food, but he wouldn't eat any of it. Chicken nuggets yuck!

Day 4 ***Snow Day***

I went to work this morning, did 1001 things off my list which left 12,783 things to do tomorrow. Came home and my mom had just woke my little man up from his THREE hour nap wowza that's a good nap. With only an hour or of daylight left I wanted to take Rees out to play in this glorious snow. It was beautiful today watching it fall at it's slow delicate pace today and all I thought about was getting home to go out and play in it, I'm telling you I'm a huge kid when it comes to snow. Luckily Rees got into it this time too. We found his four wheeler on the patio and it actually went in the snow so that was fun for about 3 minutes then he was ready to move on. Then we went on a tour of our petting zoo and checked out all of our silly animals. The llamas looked like they were having a nice dinner in their nest LOL! Talk about function hay bale = dinner = warm home! Then miss Ruby the donkey was spunky as she always is dodging snow balls we were throwing (playfully of course) at her! Then there was Bernie. The severely overweight Sheltie. Poor Bernie, he is so big he gets worn out playing in the snow so he just rolls around in it. I would definitely say this was a successful snow day. Take a look...

Day 3

We have had our kitten about a month now. I was sincerely worried after I brought him home that he might not be tough enough to make it with Rees, boy was I wrong. That little two pound kitten can really hold his own. He has made a stupendous playmate for Rees. They play together all day long. During Rees' nap the little kitty naps too. It's so cute. Mat is warming up to it a little bit, but not because he likes the cat by any means, just because Rees is getting so much enjoyment out of him. Here's our little hairy buddy.

Day 2

Today was so cold in Ohio. It was 15 degrees this morning, which is the coldest I think it has been all winter. On our way home tonight it started to snow and within a matter of two miles the roads were covered, I was so happy to pull in our driveway. I worked at the restaurant this morning, came home and played with Rees then during his nap I started to revamp my recipe blog. It looks much for "foodish" Did you all know that you can convert any word with the letters -ish? At least on my blog you can :) HERE is the link if you would like to get some wonderfully yummy new recipes.  All these delicious recipes have been tasted tested by me so you know that they are super duper yummy. I am very positive that I am now 100% addicted to creating/building/designing blogs. I have one in the works that will be a resource for all creatively crafty bloggers like myself. It will be compiled of tips, tricks and just stuff I love. When it is unveiled I will certainly post about it here. FYI if anyone would like a blog designed please get in touch with me. I am finished creating them for myself there just isn't enough hours in the day to blog on each one of them so I would much rather design one for someone else :) I create backgrounds, headers, buttons and whatever else you can think to throw at me so just let me know if you need help.

Day 1 of the 365 project

Mat and Rees are gone. The house is quiet. I am working diligently on photography business stuff then it hits me...I want a scrambled egg, bacon and toast and jelly. LOL Why is breakfast for dinner so good? I don't do it very often because I really don't think that it would thrill my dear hubby but I feel like a rebel when I am frying my eggs up at 6:00 pm. Oh was it yummy. :) The simple things that's all that really matters!

Nothing interesting

Not that I'm complaining but life is a bit dull today. We didn't feel like going out and doing much tonight so we planned on staying home, having a good home cooked dinner and putting some storage units together that we purchased three weeks ago. We're 1 for 3. We certainly accomplished staying home but I went over to the store to catch up on some work and I didn't get home until 6ish and the boys were eating. I had steaks laid out and didn't get to cook them :( Then our evening slipped away and still no storage units put together, how does Mat get out of that every time it's on the to-do list??? Rees had been doing so well with potty training. I have to be more vigilant with it. He comes and tells me he has to pee. This is the last little "baby" thing that I have left. I thought I would be super dooper happy when the day came, but inside it feels sorta like he's trying to cut all ties from me, is that silly? Probably, but that's the way I feel and I'm sticking to it. He put on his little boxer briefs this morning and they are so darned cute. He won't wear his pants he has to show his big boy undies off. Aghh were does the time go? He is so big now. He can communicate so well now. His words are forming so well and he understands/remembers everything! Amazing how much children learn in such a short amount of time. Well I'm depressed now, and please no one suggest the addition of child number two yet... forewarning I just like to moan and groan about my baby boy growing so quickly, but I am not in any way saying I need another baby at the moment :) Next big ordeal will be getting a house with more room so someday we may be able to accommodate another child, Rees has taken over our whole house now with the addition of his Christmas toys. I feel a Yard Sale coming on in the Spring. I am trying so hard to make it until the ball drops I just don't think I'm going to make it another thirty minutes, wish me luck !

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
