17 weeks and going and going and going

Yup that's my first official belly shot for baby number 3, kid number 4. According to the baby books and the internet the baby is over 5 inches now which makes sense because this week I started to feel the baby move! Yup little squirt is most active around 6-8 in the evening so far, or when I squish it too much. I'm still early on so I forget sometimes when I am bending over or holding Lincoln over my stomach and the baby retaliates. We will find out in a few more weeks what we are having and couldn't be more excited. If it's a boy we are pretty much set as far as the stuff part of a baby goes. I mean I do need to get a new Boppy and the consumables like diapers, wipes and pacifiers, but otherwise we are good. If this one is a girl then boy I will have trouble not buying headbands and ruffly outfits. At least narrowing down the sex will help us start talking about baby names. The morning sickness has subsided but I've been sick with a cold for almost an entire month. My last doctor's appointment was Nov. 10th and that was the day I started getting a sore throat. I got better for about a week or maybe a week and a half and then got a different cold or something and and completely miserable again. My next doctor's appointment is Dec. 8th... hopefully better by then.

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.

What the Happenings

Lincoln tried out Play-Doh for the first time a while ago. He really liked breaking it up into tiny pieces and trying to put it back in the container. And he didn't try to put it in his mouth too many times. As you can tell by the picture he got tired out from all the creativity pretty quickly so we'll try it again when he has a little more vigor for the squishy stuff. I think this picture is from our drive over to Richland a few weeks ago. We headed over there to visit Shane's grandma and the a bbq at his brothers house. The kids love pictures of themselves and Danielle took this picture of the both of them. Waiting to get Shane's winter tires on the jeep, Lincoln had fun checking out the giant tires at Les Schwab. There was one big enough he could crawl into but he wasn't a fan of being shoved in there. He loves to climb and explore and get himself stuck, but only on his own accord. He does not like authority trying to tell him what to do (gee I wonder where ...
