Snow Day!

We had so much fun playing in the fluffy snow today!  

Here is a fun snowy photo from our Thanksgiving visit to grandma & grandpa's house! 

Next we will work on having Pepper pull the sled. :)

Nice of you to pop in!

Hey there Mr. Tooth!   

We aren't sure how to feel about you.  

Thanksgiving Baking

On Tuesday Cameron and I headed to my grandma's to do some Thanksgiving baking!  We made two pans of bars and two pumpkin pies!  

My grandma is much more skilled at baking than I am.  I definitely learned a lot!  The pies didn't even spill into the bottom of the oven!  I thought they were going to, but grandma was right.  We didn't fill them too full.  

I would have a picture of the bars, too, but I didn't take it right away so the pan I took with me is already gone.  Oops!   

I think we might have had almost enough for a third pie with all of our extra filling... But if I would have filled the pies as full as grandma wanted me to there wouldn't have been so much extra.  One of the pies was made with pumpkin from our garden and the other was from a can.  I'm curious if there was a difference! 

I'm pretty sure we are going to have to make baking with Grandma a weekly project.  I love baking and it's nice when I'm not the only one there to eat it!  

Wishing everyone a very happy Thanksgiving!  We are enjoying some time with Hubby's family.  I'm sure we will have lots of nice pictures to update later tonight!  I promise I won't be glued to my computer obsessing over Black Friday sales.  (Although I have my heart set on getting a good deal on Cameron's big boy car seat!) 

Weekly Wednesday: 23

Hey 23 Weeks!  You sure came a lot faster than I was expecting...  

My little man is getting better at rolling over!  His legs are getting pretty strong, too!  He likes to practice standing so we will be getting use out of the jumparoo and exersaucer soon!

Hubby thinks that I've gone crazy but I have really been liking baby leggings lately.  They are WAY EASIER for diaper changes than having a whole outfit.  And they are cute.

See Pepper?  She wanted to be in the pictures so bad!

 I went crazy with the pictures this week.  But watching Pepper and Cameron play gives me warm fuzzies.  I just love them so much!  I think they are going to be serious trouble when Cameron is old enough to run around the pasture with her.

A Little Photoshoot

Guess what!  We took 5 month pictures and I forgot to put them up!  

Weekly Wednesday: 22

Here we are!  Week 22!

Miss Pepper decided to roll in something AWFUL so she didn't get to be in the pictures this week.  She is staying outside until Hubby comes home and washes her.  Pew.

We are still battling little man's cold.  He woke up pretty stuffed up and has only napped for about 45 minutes today.  Yikes.  I'm hoping that the thieves oil I have been putting on his feet will help him along.

AH!  I almost forgot!  He rolled over from back to front on Saturday.  Good job baby!  He is just not excited about it and hasn't done it since.  I've been trying to put his toys just out of his reach, but he will still only roll to his side to grab them.  He still loves to scoot, that's for sure.  Maybe I should be enjoying this time that I can set him on a blanket and he will stay in the same general area while I do other things.  I will probably miss it a little when he is really able to move!  

5 months!

We didn't do a photo shoot today because my little man isn't feeling too hot , but I promise we'll do a "5 month" shoot before he turns 6 months. :) 

I can't believe it's already been 5 months!  

So to celebrate I made a pumpkin pie! 

So when I took this it maybe wasn't quite done.  Or it was done in one spot and not anywhere else.  Anyway, I put it back in the oven for about 10 minutes and that did the trick! 

It's not the prettiest pie ever.  I don't think anyone will be chasing me down to buy one for Thanksgiving.  And there may or may not be a coating of burnt pie mix on the bottom of my oven now.  Betty Crocker didn't tell me that there might be too much mix for my crust.  She also didn't tell me that if my oven rack isn't exactly straight (apparently it isn't) that the filling will just run right out! 

Oh, not to mention my inexperienced attempt at covering the crust with tin foil. I didn't do a very good job at that either and it ended up baking into the pie.  So when I went to pull it off, I also pulled off chunks of pie.  

So after all of this I was a bit frazzled.  But my house will still smell yummy like pie, right?  Hubby came home and I was excited to tell him that I was baking a pie.  I was in the living room with Cameron.  Before I could say anything he shouted at me 

"Hey!  Something smells burnt!  What did you burn?!  I'm opening the window!"  

So now I know not to overfill the pie.  Good thing I have more pumpkin so I can give it another try.  Maybe in a different oven.
