Wednesday

Andy and I bought a nice little pontoon and have been loving the river.  Kellen and the dogs have also been loving it.  The dogs are so good Linkin has learned how to swim and Merc gets to roam around the island.  After he gets sick if that he just lays and relaxes under a tree.  He does not like getting wet, only up to his belly.  We cant get Link out.  Kellen plays ball, scoops sand and if course floats.  I wasn't able to get a picture of him floating but it was cute.

Hanging out talking to Mason, Katie, Clay and of course Dennis. 

Some sort of serious conversation.  I was so proud of that little man!

He was VERY excited to go out on a boat ride. 

More pictures soon, and I will have to try and get one of him floating. 
It will be a little while, our pontoon had to go in and get fixed.  When we bought it someone didn't do a very good job of "servicing" it.  The gages didn't work along with a few other things.  We are waiting for parts and then it will be back on the river next weekend.

XOXO

Cleaning

Playing with the vacuum, loves cleaning like mommy.

Pita pockets

Yummy tuna pita pockets for lunch.  It's supposed to have lettuce in there too, but we ran out.  Very healthy and delicious.  You can also use while wheat wraps too instead of the pockets.

All smiles

Our little man.
He saw me taking pictures and he said, "Kellen smile too."  He loves taking pictures.

Linkin

Our little puppy is already 1, such a big boy.  Happy birthday Link :-)

Merc

My Mr. proper puppy, can't believe he is 6, time flies.

Baby T and daddy

Taylor snuggling with daddy

It has been so long since I have blogged, I just haven't had time with a two year old running around and a 3 month old little baby girl that doesn't like to be put down :-).  Life has Andy and I very busy and we wouldn't have it any other way.  Here are some pictures of food I have been cooking, I have been cooking everything from scratch, nothing pre packaged.  I started working out as soon as I could after baby T was born and decided to finally start eating healthier.  I have noticed I don't crave the bad things and I feel so much better.  Andy has been such a trooper in this whole process and is finding things he really enjoys.

 Scrambled eggs with shallots, smoked salmon, spinach and red peppers.  It was fantastic!

 Grilled Salmon salad.

Poached eggs served over tomato slices, avocado, and bacon.  I hated or thought I hated avocado, but this was so good and I have started to love them. 

 Grilled fillet on a bed of lettuce served with a tomato salad, YUMMY

 Beef stir fry

 Guac

 Baked almond crusted chicken.  This dish is one of my favorites.

Broiled Tilapia with mushrooms and stuffed tomatoes.  This was also just wonderful, the tomatoes turned sweet.  I served with tomatoes and artichokes with this, which is below.

This is a side dish, it is shallots, with tomatoes and artichokes

Yummy vegetable soup

Now here are some pictures of the kids, you didn't think I would leave them out :-)

Always giving her kisses

Loving her jumper

Taylor loves her little pad, and Kellen has to be right next to her watching toons. He will usually cover her up too. I missed it, but she was holding his finger for awhile.

Kellen decided he wanted to eat like Linkin after spilling his popcorn....he is a wacky one

We put Taylor in the pack and play so Kellen could still play ball and she would be more safe....but Kellen still has to be as close as possible. We caught him trying to climb into it the other day....one leg over and all haha

  So big in her bumbo, she loves this also

Jaycee and Charlie, my dad's new puppies. Our dogs love to play with them. I find it super funny considering one dog is 75 pounds and the other is 110 :-)

Hopefully next time there wont be so many at once.  If anyone wants the recipes to the dishes let me know and I will add them.

Enjoy your Wednesday!!
