Double Digit Midget

Today Brice is 10....wow, he likes to hear the story of Dad driving through a blizzard to be there for his arrival, I like to remind him he was 10lb 5.6oz and there nurses being in awe to how big he was

 

   

 Here he is with money from Grammie and Grumps, notice no shirt...next pic he is wearing a shirt that he got as a present, tshirt is one he saw at the store about a month ago but they did not have his size, I happened to find one, it says 'it's all fun and games till the cops show up', itunes gift card $50!!! xbox 360 game, he also got a bunch of halo action figures, lego grab bags, cookie monster ball cap, tshirt and camo pants... oh most importantly a cell phone....theme was his new favorite color, purple, and the requested cupcakes in vanilla (he likes) and chocolate (trent likes)....so yes to boxes of mix, we did sample a few when they came out of the oven, to make sure they were safe for human consumption! lol

Dinner last night

Boneless pork steaks chops

Ranch Seasoning Dry Mix Packet

1 can Cream of Chicken plus 1 can water (what I do , I like thinner gravy) or 2 cans cream of chicken

Combine all three ingredients in the crockpot and mix well.  

Cook on High for 4 hrs

I start it before we go to practice, come home to dinner ready.  I also start the rice cooker before we leave the house too, it has a stay warm option and then just warm up so broccoli in the microwave when we get home.

yummy!

oh blog...how I have missed you

I was surprised it has been almost one year since I last posted here...our crazy fun life...where to start
a few things
-if you got a Christmas card you know we went to Disney World and bought a house
-this year I turned 40...my wonderful husband got me a new car...2012 Chevy Equinox
-oh last December Brice football team went to state championship and played in UT stadium (we are hook'em fans so that was super cool)
-as of last week Danny got a new job...Mon-Fri, holidays, weekends, down days OFF!  as long as we have been together he has never had a job like that


ugh...we have had some funny moments this last year...I will try and get them written

OR nurse

Today was the first day of OR nurse course! I am so excited, finally back to the OR.  First few weeks are classroom and then 9 weeks of OR time. I am sad to leave my clinic job in Bariatric's but this is a new chapter.  So many exciting things around here too, that I need to post about. 

Motivational Monday

"You are what you think. You are what you go for. You are what you do!"

Thank you

Everyone! I know making the blog private is extra work for all of you but it is better with Danny deployed. I have more control over who has access. If there is someone I have forgotten to send and evite too, have them email me and I will get the hooked up. I am also hoping I can get organized and start posting more. We have some exciting things going on down here in SA. Love you all friends and family.

Fire

I think it is in their DNA...little boys love to play with fire. And again clown 2 tries to burn down Oma and Papi's house. The first time was a few years ago when he left a burn mark in the middle of the carpet in his room. And last night...adults are watching tv, boys are in the next room. Clown 1 is playing Wii, clown 2 has had a fasination with lighting the candle on the pellet stove. We hear from Clown 1 'its burning' grandparents jump into action, clown 2 runs to his room crying...mama goes to find out what happened, of course he was putting stuff into the candle and once he relized it was burning FAST tried to get it out the back door but only made it a few steps before he dropped it on the floor at the kitchen door, it was hot and started to burn his finger...ugh he is fine, no burn, one throw-run trashed, small burn in kitchen linoleum.
