Top 3 Sayings of Christmas Break

Since we've been home together for two weeks, I thought it'd be really fun to update everyone on what some of Ava's new top sayings are. They are random. They make no sense. But they always make us laugh!

1. I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.

2. Actually.... (most of the time it end with "that's mine")

3. I'm not mad.

She must be the funniest child on earth. These past two weeks have been such a blessing. We have had countless hours of family time and I wouldn't have had it any other way! Even though I have the best job ever, I'm kinda wishing we could have just a little bit more time off together! (Christmas Break is just a sneak peek of summer break!)

Adley's Birth Story

I have been a little overloaded in life and let our blog go to the back burner! But, I must write about sweet Adley's birth story just like I did with Ava and Anniston :) On June 8, after a sleepless night, Kyle and I got up and got ready to head to the hospital to meet our third precious girl. To say I was nervous would be the biggest understatement ever. Even though I had gone through 2 csections before, it didn't mean I wasn't scared and nervous....it's a big, scary surgery! Mostly I was just afraid of the needle.... We arrived at the hospital, checked in, and started getting prepped for surgery. First came the beautiful gown (I was so happy it wasn't the paper/plastic gown like I had with Anniston...I sweat to death in that gown), then came blood work and the IV, which I was not excited about....I hate needles. And then the VERY worst part started. Waiting. Waiting for the magical hour of 7:30 am. It took forever. I was...

January's Over.....What?!?

Where has the time gone? I can not believe January is just about over. Things have been crazy busy in our home, but still great nonetheless. Ava's getting so big! She's rolling over from back to belly and belly to back, she's playing with toys (her favorite is a monkey we named Milo), she's laughing and "talking" all the time; her personality is really starting to shine through. I can't believe our baby is going to be 4 months old in about a week. CRAZY! Other updates on our girl.....she's sleeping through the night, we were blessed that she started doing that at 6 weeks ( Babywise really helped with this!) She's getting rice cereal in two bottles a day during the week and she's also taking Prevacid . Both of these are because of her horrible reflux. They seem to be helping quite a bit. She spends the weekdays with our wonderful babysitter here at home and they love each other! In March she'll start going to daycare. I am a little nervous ...

Freezer Cooking

Well, many of you know about my adventures in freezer cooking. Lots of people have asked how it works, how I do it, etc. So, I've decided to blog about it. I will include pictures, recipes, and a shopping list. After all that, you will be set to try it with a group of your friends! All of this ended up costing right around $92 per family. We did a $50 deposit up front, and then the remaining balance was split up and paid the day we cooked. This is enough for you and 4 friends to each go home with 17 meals in this day. First off, let me list the meals you will make: Easy Cheeseburger Casserole (each family will go home with 2 of these) Tex Mex Chicken and Rice (each family will go home with 4 of these) Baked Chicken Fajitas (each family will go home with 2 of these) BBQ Chicken (each family will go home with 2 of these) Chili (each family will go home with 2 of these) Chicken Casserole with Doritos (each family will go home with 2 ...
