'Tis the season

Thanksgiving is only 3 weeks away! Holy moly that is going to sneak up on me faster than I think. This year I am hosting Thanksgiving dinner here with my family and my mom and my dad and his girlfriend. Josh is out of the country for the holidays :( Jackie is working that day so we won't have her around either. Usually Shane goes over to his parents house for dinner so hopefully they don't miss him too much. Christmas Time is just around the corner and I am so excited! I just love love trying to find the perfect present for someone (although our gift giving circle is slowly growing, we are cutting down) namely the kiddos. Shane is easy because all he wants is hunting stuff and he just picks that out of a catalogue. Dylan is still pretty easy because he loves toys and boy things. Star Wars, Transformers, weapons/hunting and computer games. And then comes Danielle. She is 16 and just had a birthday in October. Yikes. Luckily gift cards go a long way for a girl her age. I've got some tricks up my sleeve and I know we are going to have a great time, but I have a feeling November is just going to go by way too fast.

For the record here are all of our sizes.
Shane - Shirt L - Shoes 10 - Pants 34/32
ME - Shirt M/L - Shoes 7.5 - Pants 10
Danielle - Shirt XS - Shoes 6 - Pants 0
Dylan - Shirt 5T - Shoes kids 12 - Pants 5T

Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

By
I've been tweaking this overnight sourdough cinnamon roll recipe over the last few months and I think it's finally, exactly, the way I like it. We love this for slow weekend mornings, to take to family and friends, or for special holiday get togethers. It's also the same recipe I use when making them to sell locally. I've been keeping it under wraps for no reason in particular but it's just too good not to share.  I don't have a reliable kitchen scale so this recipe uses good old fashion cups and goes a lot by the feeling of the dough. It will get messy but don't be discouraged if it doesn't turn out just right the first time. No matter the flop, these cinnamon rolls will never disappoint taste wise.  The PDF printable can be found here or you can keep reading.  Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls  The night before you want to make rolls: 8 Tablespoons cold butter, shredded (a whole stick) 2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose or bread flour  1/2 cup sourdou...

Keeping up with the Sadlers

By
Lincoln favorite new past time, listen closely for "Dada"  Dylan had cowboy day at school and could dress up and meet "real cowboys". We live in a hick town and his school was having an assembly about the cowboy way , or having character. Yes, Lincoln's bib is purplish, but it says I Love my Sister so it's ok :)  Cute big boy outfit Auntie Jackie got Lincoln, while sticking out his tongue. I think it looks like a little pickle. Weird, another tongue shot, he does it a lot. While playing with a plush orange (like the fruit) it sort of landed like this and I thought it looked a little like a bikini top and snapped a pic. Hey you have to have fun with life right?

Shopping Weekend

By
Danielle has Tolo coming up on Saturday the 16th and I am learning what a drag our little town of Ellensburg can be for finding a dress. Most of Saturday we spent looking at every single clothing store (ok there are only like 6 but still it took a while) then today we decided to try Yakima. Since it's over a 1/2 hour drive and the truck is definitely not gas friendly, Shane drove the Kia so we all went together. After 4 stores there we finally found her perfect dress. Cute cute, I'll have pictures for that next week but for now I have to take it in a little bit. They only had size medium and she is so tiny, but it shouldn't be too difficult with my handy sewing machine I got for Christmas. Dylan behaved like a gentleman and we even got to have a nice early dinner at Appleby's. The baby loves Caesar salads :) I also got to run into Old Navy and buy 2 brand new shirts and a perfect undershirt so I am excited. Almost all of my other maternity clothes so far are borrowed w...
