Adrian's 3rd Birthday!!!

Wow! Time does fly. I have a three year old already, and he really enjoys life. As do I. He loves to dance and entertain other people. He loves to play ninjas and hiding games. He loves to play outside and go for walks. He knows all his ABC's and 123's by sight, colors and shapes. He loves to cut with scissors (supervised mind you) glue, paint, and draw. He's leaning how to play games on the computer. My little three year old. It struck me yesterday just how profound it truly is. I realized that now that Adrian is three, I will never have that two year old boy he used to be. That two year is gone forever, and will never return, dead, in a way. Did I enjoy that two year old enough? Did I play with him, and enjoy each and every experience we had together? Probably not enough. All I can do is enjoy the three year old I have now, and hope I take the time to spend the time with him that I should. To teach him and help him grow, help him to have a love, value, and respect for the people and life around him. My little three year old boy.

How Was Your Thanksiving?

I know it may seem much to late to even post these, but, how was your Thanksgiving? I realize we haven't much to complain about, however, we have never had a Thanksgiving where things went as terribly wrong as they did this year. So here are some pics. Enjoy!

First off, my parents bought a new turkey roaster for this year, they were so excited to be able to use the oven for all the other food, without the turkey taking up all that time to cook. So they put the turkey in overnight, accidentally on a HIGH setting! Our bird was very well done.It may difficult to see the white stuff on the ham, but it is whipped cream from the strawberry pretzel salad (which did not set up right) that my mom dropped the ham in. Yum.


These rolls are cooked - yup - cooked. I did this one. I was making Rhodes rolls using the quick set method in which you warm up the oven, then place the dough in it with a pot of water and the head and moisture help the rolls rise faster. Well, I forgot to turn tho oven off after I heated it up.
This may seem an odd picture, I know, but , well we have a flat top electric stove and the butter got placed on a not so cool burner. Below is a pic of the butter that dripped on the floor. Yum. This pie looks delicous! And it was, but not without it's mishaps. Kylie, my sis made it, and called my mom asking if she had put in a tablespoon of spice instead of a teaspoon, would it make a big difference. So Kylie remade the icecream pumpkin pie. She brought it over, and we forgot to put it in the freezer, so it melted. Yikes what a crazy Thanksgiving!
But it wasn't all bad, even though my little guy got to spend this Thanksgiving with his dad instead of me, so I missed him terribly, we had lots of family and friends over, and we did have lots of good food still turn out. We also played Rock Band together - I love it!
