Easter

3 months left!

Well here it is, this was taken about a month ago. So I was about 5 months along and I'm a bit bigger now but you get the idea. He or she is moving lots, I can still get up and down ok, still tie my shoes on my own, and I don't really crave anything but sugar - that's pretty normal for me pregnant or not. Feeling good and hope this lasts till the end!

Helpers in the kitchen

We made some yummy pizzas today for lunch. I use a quick 30 min dough recipe from the one and only Toni D. It's tasty and quick, making pizza night a much more common thing here at our house.
Quick Pizza Dough
3 C flour
1 pkg active dry yeast
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp brown sugar
Mix all of the above
Add:
1 large egg
Add:
1 to 1 1/2 C warm water
Knead and cover for 1/2 hour to rise






We also made soft pretzels, I got the recipe here and it was really good and easy to make with the kids. The more butter and C&S sprinkled on top the more they ate!

Visitors

My sisters kids were down visiting Grandma for the week and we got to have the girls over for a few sleepovers. Alix entertained the kids with more than one tea party, this one with jelly beans! And these 2 are just too cute.The morning before they left Alix picked a fabric from my ever growing stash and we made this for her.

Time to catch up....

Here are some highlights since our last post. Kate was lucky enough to celebrate her birthday twice. Here are a few pics from the first family gathering. Then we were lucky enough to have Ray's sister here with her kids on Kate's big day. Kate chose to go bowling and out to eat. After bowling we played the arcade games and with all her "big cousins" playing and donating tickets to her she went home with a big stuffed, purple teddy bear. Here's Jess keeping Jack occupied with her ipod while we shopped the quilt store.

She's been loving her new bike and is such a pro biking around.
