All Boy (too many pictures)

I know, get ahold of yourself Shannon. Too many pictures of your children. Except I don't think that could happen. We have been busy running around after the little guy (gasp less than a month until his first birthday, time to get busy planning) and other general household maintenance projects such as redoing the back deck and trying to decide what color to paint our manufactured palace. Anyhoo here a a few pictures from the last few days. Enjoy.

Checking out the curls
Can you see those? Yep beautiful long flowing curls. Such a difference from Dylan's stick straight hair. Shane's was the same way when he was a baby so yet another reason he is just like Daddy.
 My boys play hard. Lincoln is always getting into something or trying to walk without being ready so he's got scrapes and bruises all over the place. Man this kid is crazy.
 Dylan scarfing down the last bit of ice cream out of the carton. The simple pleasures in life make the best memories right? Sometimes it's ok to be the cool mom.
 Pushing the baby around the living room in a box. Need I say more?
 Tub time is still loved around here by all except when he wants to stand and walk all along the edge.
 He looks so different without all that crazy hair!
 Deep in thought after the bath.
Summer Lovin'
 Oh man it got hot the other day so of course I had to document the first tank top of the season especially since those arm chubs will be gone in no time. Love it.
 Playing with the pots and pans, oh what fun.
Making a Daddy face :)

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. ...

To Infinity and Beyond

Well beyond five years that is. February 22 marks our first date and somehow Shane even remembered that. Since I feel like a crumb-bum of a wife lately I set up a special little thing to show him how much these last five years have actually meant to me. (I get that it isn't our wedding anniversary but any day can be special so I wanted to make this special too) I wrote him a little love letter and put out five things that are meaningful in our relationship together, quite the mishmash if you ask me, but it works. In no particular order: 1. Motley Crue - We we to our first concert together over the summer to see Shane's favorite band and I got to get my 80's on while he got to relive the glory days. 2. The Spiderwick Chronicles - We went to see this movie with our nephews for our first official date. I think it's sweet that now the boys watch it all the time. 3. Coffee - We have shared many conversations, hours, and events all while drinking coffee. We both love it ...

Crafty Christmas Inexpensive Gifts

I was going to say cheap gifts... but hopefully the receiver of the gift doesn't think so, so inexpensive to me just means that the person giving would rather spend time on thought rather than money, right? So here are just a few of the things I have been up to lately... Still have a few more ideas to finish but I am getting close and with only 18 days left, it's about time! Iron on transfers. I love them. They are so fun! And I love personalizing things. So my previous experiences haven't been 100% great with transfers but hey I'm not selling my stuff to the public so I think it's ok. I used them to make two tote bags (luckily the receiver of the aunt bag below is not my sister Jackie... so don't get your hopes up!) a super hero cape and a baby gift. If you search printable transfers or iron-ons there are tons of cute ideas everywhere. Next time I buy transfer paper I am getting clear though because the white didn't work as great as I had hoped but sti...
