Little Buddy starts every morning by standing on his diaper basket at the window and talking to the cars as they drive past. Usually after his mid day nap he'll check back in just to see how the world is doing since his last visit. I wish he could stay this age forever. He's so much joy and happiness. Life is so good with him in it.

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!

He is a total mama's boy right now... he's my little shadow and follows me everywhere... and while sometimes its hard to get things done I'm loving every second of it!

Joey started his Master's program today... we had a celebration dinner and he got to eat on the "shining star" plate... We're proud of him and are excited for this new chapter in our life!

I'm finally caught up!  Don't ever let me get that behind again... its miserable trying to catch up!

And I have noooo clue why some of the posts are weird and have the text on top of the pictures... I'm a typepad girls and have no clue about blogger quirks.

A Thanksgiving celebration with my Texas cousins... we had a fun night talking, wii bowling and playing rockband. I love having family in the area!

And for the dinner I made my first turkey ever! It turned out great and was a lot easier than I was expecting!

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

11.18.09 - Wednesday

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!

A day in Dallas with Kelsi and Joy (and Dori's kids)... we did a little bit of Christmas shopping and then lunch at Chick-fil-A... the six kids did awesome!

That night we celebrated Dori Hill' birthday with Dinner at Cheddar's and then a late movie.

One of my favorite cousins Lucy was in Dallas visiting from Idaho... so all the Texas Boone's got together at Marylynn's for a bbq. Good times! I love having family nearby-ish.

p.s. I was an hour and half late due to an accident on the freeway... and had car troubles on the way home... not the funnest drving ever.

It was a sad day... our Bishop was released today... we love Bishop Peck and have voted him our favorite bishop ever. He's been so great to serve with and we're grateful for his service to our ward and our family. On a happy note we love our new Bishop... Bishop Rodriguez... we've loved him and his family for years and are excited to work with him. And I love that I have a picture of both of them together from Girls Camp this summer!
