Where is my baby...

And who left me this toddler? Yikes, my little Lincoln, who is now almost 15 months, just barely over a year, is a walkin' talkin' crazy machine. I give credit to having an older brother and sister to watch and play with and I know he wants to be just like when he gets older. Dylan was much more cautious and laid back from what I remember of him at this age. Yes, he was in daycare about 10 hours a day :( but I still knew the little guy. Anyway Lincoln can play dinosaurs and make them growl at each other (please excuse the Mario Wii, dog sniffing and toys all over the floor. My house is always picture perfect remember?). The last two days he has slept in until after 7:30 (Praise the Lord, even if it is right before we have to get back on a school schedule). He can climb onto the couch, rocking chair, coffee table, kitchen table, and basically any stationary object under three feet by himself, or by moving a toy to stand on. He repeated "stay" and a little butt swat to the dog last night after only hearing and seeing Shane do it once. We all looked at each other a little shocked that it was so clear. He gets mad when he can't get snack out of the refrigerator by himself and bangs the front of the door. Yes he has a little temper on him. We're working on it. 

Lincoln also likes to sword fight, hang out and play with the older neighborhood boys and wants to help with everything. I can't get the broom out with him awake unless I have some plan to keep him busy. Often it is giving him the swiffer while I sweep with the old school one. He will eat with no inhibitions and has rarely spit anything out (I'm talking raw green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes ((the last two being things I personally don't like)), beans, tofu anything!). Lettuce is a little bit of a weird texture for him but otherwise it all goes down the pipe. He does like to share with the dog or other people around. Since he's started walking running around the house he's really slimmed down. No longer is he a super chunk but luckily he still has a few baby rolls left to savor.
Checking out what chalk will do if banged together

Picking through the colors

Right after he took a little nibble.
He also tries big boy things just to try them. We got out to do a little chalk drawing the other day now that summer has finally arrived. Ellensburg has had a very mild summer this year so it's a little weird. Anyway he checked it out, scribbled a little, tasted one of them and then decided that it would be more fun to walk around and explore the street. We don't have a paved driveway so yes we are actually sitting in the street but it's a small cul-de-sac so no cars came through while we were out there for about 30 minutes. Loving the country life. Hopefully the next year doesn't go by so quickly.

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...

Oh Lovely Chicken Divan

By
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...

Keeping up with the Sadlers

By
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?
