Seahawks victory and smashed peas

 Dylan running the obstacle course while we were waiting for the Seahawks game to start. Dad gave Shane and I the tickets but through some unfortunate events (for him) Shane wasn't able to go and I got to take my favorite 5 1/2 year old. We don't get to do to much with just us anymore so this was extra special.
 "Whew Mom, I was running all over, I'm tired now." I guess I need to set one of these up in my yard when he starts getting hyper...
 Dylan hanging out. It got down to about 35 degrees that night in Seattle, but the Seahawks managed to win against the Rams and are now in the playoffs. It was pretty awesome to be there for it.
 Lincoln has started having baby cereal and some light colored fruits and squash, but this was his first experience with peas. Monday was his half birthday, he's already lived 6 months of his life, so hard to believe!
 He's probably thinking "Do you have to have that camera in my face all the time?"
Lincoln is very independent, or just wants everything in his mouth at all times :) Well it looks like his eyes are going to stay blue (secret yay on my end!)

  1. I'm glad you guys got to go and have a good game to watch. That obstacle course would be great for him! Get him ready for Pop Warner or Peewee football early on!

    Linc is growing so quickly. I wish I could see him more... :^(

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

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...

Oh Lovely Chicken Divan

Today marks my last official planned freezer cooking day for now in preparation for the new baby. I might end up making something next month, but really the freezers are getting quite full and until we eat down some things, it's quite a tight squeeze at the moment. Chicken divan, if you've never had it, oh you are missing out! This was probably the most requested birthday dinner in our house growing up and it is one of my ultimate comfort foods. It has vegetables, kids like it, and it really isn't that expensive to make either. It takes a little time because of the different layers so doubling it is a great time saver anyway (or if you have a smallish family just put half in one pan and half in a different pan for another meal. And finally the long awaited: Chicken Divan 2 packages/heads broccoli frozen or fresh (I like to use the florets when I can find them) 2 cups sliced/shredded/chopped cooked chicken (cook any way you like, baked is probably juiciest) 2 cups conde...
