Happy 4th of July!!

As you all know, yesterday was the 4th of July, but it also happened to be Little Miss's half birthday!!  That's right, my little chunkier is six months old, I can't believe it.  We went to a baseball game and then  watched the fireworks show after and had a lot of fun!

Hi there!

Just checking in and sharing some pics of the babes :)  Pictures from C's second birthday are still on my camera, eventually I will get those onto the comp to post, lol.  M is a little ham and all you need to do is look at her and she smiles.  C is hard to catch on camera, he doesn't stand still long enough and all the pictures are blurry!   But here's some recents:

Such a big girl in the high chair!

He climbed into the swing to give Sister some cuddles <3

4 months as a family of 4

I can't believe that M is four months old already!  She is such a chunker, it's so different from when C was a baby.  Even now, his clothes size matches up with his age, but M is already in 9 month clothes!  She is 17 lbs and 4 oz, which is the average weight of a baby over 7 months old!  She just needs more room to fit all of her cuteness in.  Don't believe me?  Check it out for yoruself!

Our foray into the world of juicing.

After watching Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead on Netflix, the hubs and I immediately bought a juicer.  The documentary is quite persuasive, lol.   The fact of the matter is, we don't eat nearly enough fruits and vegetables, and when I buy a bunch of produce with all the good intentions of eating it, I end up throwing away all that money because the fruit spoils and the veggies shrivel and we never get them eaten.  I thought that juicing would be a great way to get all of those great vitamins and nutrients in my body (and in my kids' bodies!) in a delicious way.

Slowly but surely, I'm turning into a hippy

I like to think that I'm merely taking steps to benefit the overall health of my family (and save money in the process!), my family thinks that it's just a matter of time before I'm sporting dreadlocks, tie dye, and am sitting in a drum circle.

Pizza Rolls!

As a kid, I always loved pizza rolls.  They're small, fun to eat, and of course, PIZZA!  It was a fun treat that we always looked forward to.  Now that I'm a mom and I have C's sensitive tummy to worry about, the preservatives and additives and frying that goes into the frozen pizza rolls just doesn't appeal to me as something I want to feed my kid.  I found a recipe for homemade, baked pizza rolls on Pinterest and was so excited!!  I made them and they were delicious, but the next time I went to make them, the recipe had disappeared!  I followed the same link, but the page was gone and I was sad.  Luckily, I worked off of memory and I think I got it right, so here you go!  These are so much healthier than the fried version, and I think they taste better, too!

Update and Family Pictures!

Wow, I can't believe M is already over six weeks old!  The hubs has gone back to work (happy for him, sad for me) and I'm adjusting to being on my own at home with both kids.  It's not always easy, especially when a certain toddler thinks he doesn't need naps anymore, but so far it hasn't been too stressful **knock on wood**.  I'm sure I'll have some hard days, but thankfully I have a couple of pretty awesome kids :)
