Boy's day

By
Well the boys are off doing things with Shane's new jeep and hanging out with Grandpa Larry before Shane starts work later today. Dylan asked me today "How old is Daddy." I replied 37 and then he asked "But when is he going to be 20?" haha I'm not sure what he was curious about but I thought it was funny. Now I'm just home paying some bills (two credit cards paid off this week, whoohoo!!!) and watching Bringing Home Baby and a Baby Story on TLC. This baby is 21 weeks along today, the length of a banana (7.25 inches) and about 10.5 ounces. If this is accurate for mine, the baby has gained an ounce and a half in one week! Everything about this baby growing amazes me. The Dugger family (who also has a show on TLC) had their 19th baby at 24 weeks. She survived but has been in the NICU since December so it is somewhat reassuring that if something were to happen and this baby came in 4 weeks that it would still survive. But baby please give me another 12 weeks at least. I'm ready to have the baby around now but we are definitely not ready or set up or anything like that. With Dylan I was so apprehensive about everything that had to do with me being in charge of this tiny baby and while I know it is going to be a huge undertaking with a newborn in the house, I just know it will all be fine.

Keeping up with the Sadlers

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?

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...

New Moves

So I officially started feeling the baby moving around this week, Tuesday to be exact, and now I feel dancing all the time. It's pretty weird because it has been so long since I've housed a fetus and I know no one else can feel it from the outside, but it's really real. The picture I took on the left shows me holding a photo of a 17week baby to scale. It's hard to imagine something that big is fitting inside of me already :) We had the "Mom" talk today inside the Dollar Store. Danielle asked me if it was ok if she could call me Mom. She says I treat her the way a mom should treat her daughter and that made me so proud. I am so glad that even though we have our daily and weekly ups and downs that our family unit is really coming together.
