Pioneer Woman rescues lunch

I'm in love with my new 'Pioneer Woman Cooks' book, the recipes are easy and down right southern family cookin'!! I think I secretly wish I was born in the south! So like many moms we were in a lunch slump, especially when one of my two will only eat pb&j, grilled cheese and chicken nuggets, weve tried everything, even sneaky chef and then he won't eat which isn't good when your almost 3 and
only 24 lbs! So today we all gathered round the counter country style (ha!) and made some good ol' eggs in a hole! They thought it was awesome and Jacob even had a bite...and then politely asked me to make him some chicken. Mia and I enjoyed our eggs in a hole! Thank you Pioneer Woman for saving our lunch!

Wordless Wednesday...

Nana's antiques are not a toy....even if it does resemble your new tricycle!

The LONGEST POST YET (Part 1)December 2009 catch-all.....

Serioulsy the longest post of 2009...and its only Part 1, which is actually wrapping up our busiest month of the year. We like to look back at our past Christmas with the 'twinks'. They loved everything about it so much and are still asking if Christmas is done. They love hearing the nativity story and now were moving on and slowly introducing the story of Easter! Watching their minds grasp the birth of our savior and now His death so that we could spend eternity with Him is amazing. What a blessing it is to parent these two!

It was Mia and Jacob's first year actually loving their holiday pajamas, so excited every night to put them on!


We painted ornaments and made snowflakes!



...and gumdrop christmas trees!


...and bundled up (southern california style)for some fun playdates!


Christmas Lights!






....and in between busy holiday activities I walked in to find an activity they put together all by themselves..ha!



we even escaped to an adult holiday party hosted by my work.


The kids loved every detail of decorations this year, and if I happened to change something around my very detail oriented little boy noticed without skipping a beat!




Jacob decided since he didnt have a pony at home that he would use his sister and vice versa...seriously I have no idea where they come up with this stuff...ha!



We had dinner and decorated cookies, sang carols and exchanged wide elephant gifts with our small group at our Pastor's house...






Our church hosted a winter wonderland night at the town center!
Mia and Jacob both loved this mile high slide! They even went by themselves a few times!

It snowed!!
