Bridget!


My Grandma got the girls these hats to play dress up with! There is a pink one too! Bridget loves this thing! She will wear it where ever you will let her! Last week she was especially obsessed with it and even took it to day care! But its super cute on her and you just really can't tell that face no!!

George

This is George! I found him on my way to pick up the girls! He was running in the road so I picked him up and brought him home until his owners could pick him up! The girls pulled up a chair and watched him in the backyard! Caylee loved the dog she had so much fun talking to him thru the window! Bridget liked to watch him as long as he didn't look at her! As soon as he made eye contact she just lost it!

Grocery Shopping!



We got all of this food thanks to some good sales and great coupon-ing for $70.94!! We saved over $110.00 and should have paid $180 for all of this food!!!

One long receipt

"Oh My Goodness"

Let me paint you a picture! Last night we were all in the living room... Bridget was off playing with her stroller, Caylee drawing on her board, Adrian and I are sitting on the couch watching TV. Its pretty quiet everyone is just independently content. When all of the sudden Caylee EXCLAIMS "OH MY GOODNESS I DREW A HEART" Complete with her hand over her mouth out of pure shock! I took a picture of her proud moment. The heart in case you can't tell like a mommy can tell is the closest one to her finger, bottom drawing. She was drawing circles (as you can see) and accidentally produced a heart! She shocked herself at just how darn good she was! She was so proud (as was I) and wanted a picture taken so we could send it to Grandma! Man it was such an adorable moment. You know one of those moments that makes you look around the room and realize just how wonderfully happy you are and how perfect our family is for us, how happy each one of us are and how truly fulfilled we are. I just love the moments that shine that light on whats important.

This Picture isn't the best I had to use my cell phone. For some reason my camera won't unload any pictures!

Homemade Bread!

YUMMMMMM!
Finally I have the right recipe to make Homemade Wheat Bread!! It's Delicious! I've made a loaf (different recipe) before but it was dense and crumbly. This bread can be used for sandwich's or toast or once its "day old" bread you can turn it into croutons!! I got the recipe from moneysavingmom.com a web-site I HIGHLY recommend. I made a few adjustments but it works great for me!!!
1 cup warm water (110-115 degrees F.)
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons oil
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cup whole-wheat flour
3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 /4 Cup Vital Wheat Gluten
2 teaspoons dry yeast

Put all ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed. Set on dough cycle. When dough cycle is finished, take dough out and shape into a loaf in a greased bread pan. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for 20-45 minutes (until doubled)(the perfect warm place is turn your oven on, once it is pre-heated turn it off and then put your bread in to let it rise). Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool before slicing (it can be a little warm). I think if you let it cool down on a cooling rack or a towel before slicing it and storing it, it stores better.
