Happy Thanksgiving!

Our lazy day Thanksgiving began with playing in our pj's...

Grins from ear to ear

Talking time with daddy

A walk around the block


And picking up the mail with mommy (it had been three days!)

Oh how much we have to be thankful for!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Since it's just my husband, myself and our little boy for Thanksgiving this year, we opted not to do the big bird deal. So here is a simple recipe I can count on from previous Thanksgivings.

Cornish Hens with Potatoes
Quick Cooking

SERVINGS: 4
CATEGORY: Main Dish
METHOD: Slow Cooker
TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 6-8 hours
Ingredients:
4 Cornish game hens (20 ounces each)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 large red potatoes, cut into 1/8-inch slices
4 bacon strips, cut into 1-inch pieces
Lemon-pepper seasoning and garlic powder to taste
Minced fresh parsley

Directions:
In a large skillet, brown hens in oil. Place the potatoes in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Top with the hens and bacon. Sprinkle with lemon-pepper and garlic powder.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180° and potatoes are tender. Thicken the cooking juices if desired. Sprinkle the hens with parsley. Yield: 4 servings.

Happy Friday

Where to now Mr. Noah?

If I was a betting gal, I would have bet that upon putting Noah into his shiny new wagon he would have stayed sitting for oh...30 seconds before attempting to wiggle his way out of the seat belt to stand. And if I was a betting gal, I would have been 100 percent wrong. He LOVES being pulled in his new ride and might have stayed sitting in it all day if given the chance. We're going to have to teach him to start tipping the driver though.

Totally relaxed and carefree. Just as little boys should be.

Puppy love

We had a great Halloween celebrating with friends and walking around their neighborhood. Noah was dressed as a puppy, however the torso of the costume was too short and we couldn't get the hood on.

Carrie to the rescue though! She just happened to have some puppy ears to put on.


Some of us even got to ride on Thomas' train! Toot! Toot! Joshua and Eli were great train engineers...or "engines" as Joshua called them.

And here's the whole Bost clan.

Friends, Kenton and Abby, got to join us for the trek as well. Kenton is not pictured...I think he's off scaring some kids.

On our way home...it's way past bedtime.

Chillin' with the boys. We had to hurry and take the photo as Eli was starting to get his late night snack from the plant soil.

Notice anything that doesn't belong?

Remind you of a certain post from here?

Noah cracks me up all day long doing the little quirky things he does. Poor guy gets told over and over his chubby foot doesn't belong near his food. Now all I have to do is point my finger at it and he slowly puts it down (of course only to bring it right back up again when he thinks I'm not paying attention). Sometimes it is so hard not to crack a smile or laugh. I'm working at putting my poker face on though.

And just to show you we can have our not-so-good moments too...
