Rolling Around and My Little Rascals

 Lincoln playing with one of his favorite toys a stuffed spider while rolling around and being silly.
 A few minutes later he's scooted himself almost all the way to the tv, watch out crawling is on it's way soon. Time to baby-proof. I can't believe he's over six months old and almost 21 pounds and 27 1/2 inches. I call him my little monster. As soon as said monster is sleeping through the night (which is getting closer and closer, maybe if I pray a little harder) he'll be bunking with big bro. I've spent like hours and hours cleaning (two grocery bags full of garbage and dust bunnies) and rearranging and organizing Dylan's room to try to make room for a crib and all the new toys they both got for Christmas. Unfortunately we also found out that Dylan's old crib got broken in one of my moves so Lincoln will be in the pack'n'play until we decide what to do next. I don't want to buy a crib for like 6 months of use but I'm not sure if it will be weird to keep him in the pack'n'play until he's ready for a big boy bed. Plus I want to use all of the adorable bedding that my sister made for Lincoln. Decisions, decisions.
Ok so I'm not sure if this is as funny as I pictured or imagined when I set it up, but here is a picture of my "litter" haha. We got a big box that the diapers and wipes came in (we think it's cheaper to older online than buy from any store here in town) and I just thought it was funny. Too bad I wouldn't actually give them away, I know they're worth something.

Belated Christmas Pics

Because I didn't download any pictures for a while, and then it was after Christmas and things got wild for a while I kind of skipped over the actual holiday so several weeks late, here is how we spent our Christmas. I didn't get any pictures when we were over at Shane's family's house but we spent lots of time over there too.  All four kids in one picture together! Warner kind of blends into the tree skirt but his little baldish head stands out. Luckily the matching pajamas I bought for the boys last year still fit too.  Head lamps for spying on Santa. Opening presents was a daunting task for Lincoln. I think this was when he realized asking only for a "princess and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich" wasn't the best of ideas. Don't worry he got plenty spoiled. The messy aftermath. Lincoln playing in his new tiny little kitchen. My brother and dad at our house. My mom and brother decorating a giant gingerbread...

Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

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...

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

We love chicken in our house because it is yummy, very versatile and somewhat affordable. It is also Shane's meat of choice for his "tone and sculpt" plan. (ok so I just love how special he is and really I am not making fun of him)  I generally try to find boneless, skinless chicken for less than $2 a pound. These days it is getting increasingly difficult, even looking into Zycon or Costco so when I found some for $2.30/lb I got all the had... two packages. I frozen one because Shane will BBQ that for lunches on the weekend. With the other package, which I think was about 3.5 pounds or 5/6 breasts, I was able to look on the monthly menu plan and figure out what chicken type dinners I had coming up and chop from there. Since the breasts are usually very thick I slice them in half, like a top and bottom part. Then I either chopped up into bite sized pieces or froze whole. For less than $9 in chicken I made four meals that will serve at least two adults and two children. ...
