My Menu

I know that I am late posting my menu, I have been struggling to find stuff I want to make this week. We have a fridge and freezer full of food, but nothing sounds "good" maybe because I was spoiled last week with only having to cook 2 meals?? Who knows, but here it is

Sunday: I didn't make dinner, we got in from Seattle at 8:15 pm and we had snacked the whole way home.

Monday: White Chicken Enchilada's and tator tots (you can find the recipe here. (Thanks Pinterest--by the way, best thing ever!! and they turned out Delicious!)

Tuesday: Pork Chops, Cous Cous, and corn

Wednesday: Spaghetti, salad and homemade garlic bread, you can find that recipe here--thanks again to Pinterest!

Thursday: not sure yet, I have been struggling to decide, I have a few choices and I was going to wait till I go to the store tomorrow to decide

Friday: Crock Pot French Dips and homemade french fries

Saturday: Appetizer day, Wings, potato skins and another appetizer that I am trying to find that we want to try. I am hoping again that Pinterest will help us out!

Have a great week everyone!!

Everett, Here we come!

We are about to take our longest vacation yet since the twins were born. We are going to Everett, WA for Thanksgiving. My Sister in law and Brother in law moved there with our niece Maggie this summer so that my BIL Dan could run his very own P.F. Changs!

We are very excited to reunite with them, but also scared about the car trip and how things will play out. We bought a DVD player for Morgan to watch movies to keep her distracted....Oh did I mention we have the 2 dogs with us as well...so it should be interesting!

Keep posted for another update, along with pictures....I am determined to have a fun time!!

My Menu

Yea so I have no menu this week. I have to desperately make it to the grocery store and since my friend Lee wasn't able to make in to Boise last week she is coming this week. So I thought we would talk together and see what we want for dinner. So this is what I know so far.

Sunday: Rigatoni with spaghetti sauce, garlic bread

Monday: Pork Chops, cous cous and corn

Tuesday: ??

Wednesday: ??

Thursday: ??

Friday: ??

Saturday:??

I do know that finger steaks with be either Friday or Saturday, just not sure what day yet. Now if only I could get motivated to get to the grocery store. It is not going to happen today as I have a doctor appointment for Cameryn so I guess it will have to wait till tomorrow, but I will be picking Lee up from the airport so maybe not till Wednesday....we will see, that might work out better anyways cause I will have Lee to help push the cart so I don't have to push the stroller and pull the cart at the same time. Have a great week!

15 months and 22 days

Cameryn and Jaidyn are fast approaching 16 months! Where did the time go? Just wanted to give out some updates on them as they have been reaching a TON of milestones!!


Cameryn Paige:



Walking everywhere--we do have to go and get an orthopedic consult as she has a wide gait and her toes turn inwards, that is scheduled for Monday so I am getting pretty anxious about that.



Says "dada" but she says it when I ask her to say "mama"



LOVES milk and a bottle (I have been trying to get them off the bottle and she wants nothing to do with it)



LOVES cheese, she will eat cheese all day if I let her



LOVES strawberries and apple juice


LOVES to drink out of my water glass


Very messy eater and inhales her food as if she hasn't ate in weeks



She is our "aggressor" she is not afraid to go and steal a toy away from her sisters, however when they do it back to her she has a HUGE meltdown


She is also our sensitive one, and not afraid to stick her bottom lip out when crying.


She loves to chase Jaidyn around and giggle the whole time.


she is a giggler, loves to giggle



Can give kisses, with her mouth wide open of course



Weighs 27 lbs and is wearing 18 month size clothes



Jaidyn Elliott


Walking and Running, some of the times she walks like a mummy, arms straight out in front of her


Used to say "mama" but now I can't get her to do so


she is content with a sippy cup, however if she sees Cameryn with a bottle, then she wants one


LOVES cheese as well, she gets really excited when she sees it


LOVES cheese puffs, I swear she would eat half a bag if I let her


LOVES to drink out of my water glass


She actually is a really good eater, usually finishes all her food, she just takes FOREVER to eat. She is also a very clean eater, usually not too much of a mess


She is our "tattler" when someone takes something from her she comes running right to one of us crying


She is also is very intuitive. If I say were going bye bye's she will head to the garage door. Yesterday I told her to pick up the shoes and put them back in the closet and she did, she even closed the closet door.


Loves to have "jobs" I just taught her how to throw away her diapers and shut the door and she smiles so big everytime she does this and when you praise her.


She is our little jokester as well. If I need to change her diaper she will come to me 3/4 of the way get a devilish grin on her face and turn around and run away. She does this a lot right AFTER you get her diaper off.


Loves to eat the soap in her baths, yup, she loves to ingest bubble bath.


can give kisses when you ask for one


she weighs 22 lbs and wears 9-12 month clothes



They seem to really adore each other and I hope it stays this way! Of course there are days where all they do is pick on each other, but usually they are laughing and playing all day together.



Tackle Time, Cameryn let her sit on her like this for a few minutes!



They were hugging
