Hot Stuff!

These Days Ryan thinks he is pretty hot stuff. Here are some pictures of his newest achievements. Last night we had spaghetti and he made his first attempt at eating spaghetti all by himself! He also is very into pulling up in things to stand up and I finally got a picture this morning of him doing that. Yes, that is his tongue always sticking out :)

Chili

Hi all,
Well, I am looking for a chili recipe right now and I have no idea where to even start sorting out all the recipes avalible online. My husband loves chili and I would like to find a good recipe. I need all the input I can get, seeing I am not much of a chili fan myself (unless it is cincinnati chili!). Please help:)

Winter is Here!

Yes! Winter is upon us...slippers, robes and extra blankets have been broken out along with turning with heat on! Can it really be this old already? The kids were ready to get their snow pants on and go out and play...thankfully nothing stuck so there is still hope to avoid the shoveling today.

Potato Harvest Read-a-Thon

Well, schools are out for the next ten days for potato harvest. Matthew was not very happy about not getting to go to school for 8 days but then he got very excited when he found out about the read-a-thon. It is our fundraiser and the amount of money is determined by how much they read. So I thought I would keep a running total here as much as for his sake then you who probably don't care too much. We are reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone together...tonight he was so tired when we were reading that he started to fall asleep but he didn't want me to stop!
