Only a month late, but here are pictures from Dylan's rockin' 6th Football Birthday Party!
 Football Player Cake
 Eating football stadium type food for lunch, filling the kids up with junk before sending them out to play football and obstacle course. Owen, Dylan, Josh B., Josh R., Andy and Cameron. 4 of the 5 boys are from his kindergarten class.
 Linc laughing at the hilarious group of boys.
 Opening presents on the step of a ladder? Yes we're that classy.
 Shane said I had to get pictures of Dylan's friends at his party incase the kids grow up and become the "cool kids" just so we have proof... so cute at this age.
 Dylan the ham with other kids playing or wrestling in the background.
 Shane keeping an eye on all the crazies. I set up an obstacle course so the boys could have some football practice, I think they had a blast.
 Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Mint Oreo "icing", Dylan invented this concoction to bring to his class for his birthday.
 Very serious while his class sang Happy Birthday to him
 My Big Cutie!
Danielle and Lincoln enjoying watching the crazy boys on our back porch.
And finally a little preview of Lincoln and his almost getting curly hair. I love it!

    It looks like Dylan had a blast at his football party. You're such a creative mom Shannon.

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...

Belated Christmas Pics

By
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...

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

By
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. ...
