Happy Thanksgiving from Lauryn and Kim

Chicken Cheesy Cassarole

So tonight for dinner I made a chicken casarole from the back of the stove top box. Chicken, brocoli (sp?), Cream of Chicken Soup, Milk, and Cheese.......it was actually good. And Lauryn ATE it up. The only thing is it took longer than the box said it would. For all you Mom's out there.......................try it. It really was good, David even got seconds!

Our Family

We had some new pictures taken last night and wanted to share them with you all. There will be more to come........K

Back Bend

Lauryn has been perfecting her backbend. Here is a video of her yesterday at Matt and Jess's house showing us her back bend. We told her to show Maddie how to do it, but Maddie was just intersted in doing yoga! Wish I had gotten a video of that!

Bike Riding Video

Lauryn got here safe and sound yesterday. Today we visited Matt and Jess and the girls. Here is a short video of Lauryn riding her bike here. She is doing so good.

Stay tuned for more to come!

Insomina?

Yes...............that time on the post is right. It is 12:46 AM today, this morning, right now, whatever! David and I "went to sleep" at 10:30, except I can't sleep!! David is sleeping, and snoaring, but I can't. Imagine that.

So instead I got up at 11:00 and.....wait for it.....wait for it......

CLEANED!!! until just now.

So now most of the central part of the house is dusted, including the leather furniture. I had to do cleaning that would be quiet so the kitchen, living room, etc.......seems to be done.

Of course I probably also should have cleaned Lauryn's bathroom before I lost my steam. Now I've turned the TV and DVR back on, sooooooo Private Practice is on and I guess I catch up on that instead.

Of course David and I have time to do real cleaning tomorrow, which means the floors, steam clean the carpets (thanks Jason) and clean the tile.

Man! It had been a long time since we dusted......did I mention I started with the ceiling fan in the living room?

Oh well at least its done, just wish I was tired enough to sleep now. Guess I'll waste some time on facebook now.

Goodnight to anyone out there, at this hour.

PS sorry to Jess and anyone else this "jinxed"

Winnie's new Friend

Winnie met Jaengeaux (spelling? not sure!) last weekend when we were at David's Parents house. He is a Frenchton (mix between a French Bulldog and a Boston Terrier). He is AWESOME!!!! They are almost the same age, and they had a great time playing in the front yard.

Winnie was really good, and careful with the smaller dog. Here is a comparrison for you, Winnie weighs about 103 pounds in these pictures, and Jeangeaux is about 13 pounds!

Gymnastics in the Yard

Lauryn can do a back bend by herself! Stay tuned, I'll try to post a video over thanksgiving. For now take a look at these pictures....................she is in David's parents front yard, while Winnie is playing with another dog.

PUMP UP THE VOLUME!!

Admittedly not the best quality but.........................

Just press play!

Lauryn Rides a Bike

So......we are "back home" this weekend with Lauryn, and David's Parents. She, of course, had a soccer game this morning, so look for those pictures soon (this week is my goal). BUT here are some pictures we took today. She rode her bike all by herself!!! David didn't have to run behind her or anything. She had such a great time, you can really see it on her face.

Also there are a few pictures of her and Winnie in here. I am really trying to update the look of the blog so watch for more changes to come hopefully ASAP (but of course dependent on my time, skills, and David's patience -- most of all).

Anyway these pictures wrap up with the hysterical thing I've seen in a long time. Lauryn and Winnie trying to wear Antlears (like Christmas and yes I know it is still about 1.5 months away). Of course the dog didn't play along and this was the most hysterical part to Lauryn. She laughed so hard she fell down!!

As always hope you like them :)
