Baby legs

Baby legs are all the rage this season...so I made some for my own baby:) Check them out! Adorable, don't you agree? Oh yeah, and Joey's crawling now...hee hee.


Here's Sylvia being her silly sister self. I had to snap some candids of her after her near-death experience yesterday. Ya, she was almost backed over by a minivan while walking up the driveway at the sitter's house. Let's just say God's hand was on her more visibly than one could ever imagine. Praise Him!

Wish I could leave you readers with a glance at Miss Olivia, but we don't want to glorify her time-outtedness:( Nope, that is not the first or last time you'll see made-up words on our blog!

ISU Volleyball

Last Saturday we had a night out with the family. We headed out to the Hilton to check out the Cyclone Volleyball team. We were able to sit close to the court so the kids could see the action. We are also very close to Cy. Sylvia and Joe enjoyed getting up close with him, but Olivia still fears him.

We usually grab some Subway before we go to the Hilton

Ab, Olivia, and Joe....court-Cy'd

We've been busy!!

So, we've been reduced to blogging once a week? Sorry about the miscellaneous nature of this post:( Last weekend, I worked Childserve Friday night, we hosted a garage sale on Saturday, attended church and a baby shower on Sunday, then had a full week of work and normal craziness, more Childserve last evening, another impromptu garage sale today, ISU volleyball game tonight, and possible pumpkin patch tomorrow-weather pending. Whew...and still managed to snap some pics. Enjoy!!!


The girls had fun hanging out during the garage sale...can you believe it's already hat and gloves season?


Joey in his cutie patootie bibs, showing us his stuff on all fours...rocking, rocking:)


How comfy does this little guy look in his Saturday football watching gear. Daddy took one look at this outfit and had to run and put on a matching outfit!


Kiddos hanging out one evening. Gotta try to catch them not looking once in a while.


Sylvia enjoys some "alone-time" at the desk.

Homecoming

This week was homecoming week at school. On Friday we took some time out of our day to celebrate with lunch outside, games, and finally a trip to Colfax to watch the parade.

The Middle School float.

Getting hot dogs for lunch.

We have a door decorating competition each year. My class took first place. Two years in a row and 3 out of 5! Nice work!

All my pictures are here.

Bath, BIBLE, Boots, and Baby's First Tooth

Here is some video that Ab took of the girls singing the BIBLE song after their bath.

Here is some video of Joe being his smiley self after his bath.

Nice rain boots Sylvia!

No outfit is complete without your crown!

Can you see his little tooth??

Here's a closer look.

What a weekend!

We caught the girls in a peaceful, non-squabling moment as they gazed out Grandma Lola's back door, enjoying their "fresh from the orchard" apples.

Not many pictures were snapped, but we do have proof here that we were out together...minus kids!

Joey has the biggest news. He visited the pediatrician on Friday and was determined to have a sinus infection with retracted tympanic membranes (eardrums) requiring a 10-day course of Amoxicillin:( Since he's so easy going, we figured we could still get away with leaving him the Grandma Lola overnight while we traveled. He and the girls did fine, and Joey had a present for us when we returned on Sunday morning. I noticed right away he had cut a tooth overnight!!! Way to go boy...only 19 more to go:)

I've discovered prepared pesto!

This quick and yummy sandwich really hit the spot tonight. Let me know what you think of it when you make it!

Chicken Pesto Sandwich

6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4oz each)
3/4 cup prepared pesto, divided
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
12 slices Italian bread, toasted
1 (12 oz)jar roasted sweet red peppers, drained
1/4 lb. fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into six slices

• Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Spread 1 T. pesto over each chicken breast; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.
• Spread 3 T. pesto over six slices of toast; layer with red peppers, chicken, cheese. Spread remaining pesto over remaining toast; place over top.
