I've been subbing in Nursery for the past month... its been fun to be with Amy and cute kids and to let little buddy get his wiggles out in Nursery... I'll be sad when they get a full time teacher and I have to go back to wrestling him in Sunday School!

Cooking Pilgram's Hats... my contribution to pack meeting. Why do these kind of things always look better in the magazines?

Soo whole milk didn't work out for little buddy... looks like he's still having a dairy allergy... so our pediatrician suggested we look in to Goat's Milk... but at $4 a quart its an expensive option... thank goodness we have a goat farmer in our ward who's going to give us a deal on milk.

p.s. This is one expensive kid... between IVF, the c-section and the dairy allergy he's costing a fortune... good thing he's so dang cute!

A play date at McDonald's... I love that I get to be a mama and have play dates!

Got to have lunch with my sweet Angie in Van Alstyne... its always fun to see her even if it is just for a few minutes.

In other news little buddy can now drink out of a straw... He's very proud of himself and is now his preferred method of drinking. Cute boy!

Mom and kids group at the church this morning and then Pizza/Movie night with the Moak's. I loooove Pizza night at the Moak's... Tracy makes the BEST homemade pizza I've ever had. They're so good about having me over, especially on Friday's when Joey is gone.

I love this picture of her!

Had my Thursday appt and then spent the rest of the afternoon/early evening hanging out at Angie's...it was a ton of fun and I love hanging out with her even if I feel like I cause extra stress to her already busy life!

Little buddy has this new fun trick where he likes to do somersaults
on the couch... I think its adorble... I watch him closely so he doesn't fall off... cute little thing.

German Pancakes are one of our favorite dinners... fast and easy and perfect for a busy Wednesday night!

6 eggs
1 c. milk
1 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt (optional)
5 tbsp. melted butter
Beat eggs until fluffy, add milk, flour and salt. Pour butter into 9x11 inch baking pan. Pour batter in puddles over butter. (They will overlap, merge, etc.)
Bake at 450 F. for 15-20 minutes. It will puff up like a mountain range. Be prepared to eat immediately. Cut into squares to eat.

Serve with syrup, jam or lemon juice mixed with powdered sugar... a side of bacon and yummmmmmy!

p.s. Happy Birthday to my brother David!
