Kinda feel bad....

I had the biggest mom moment last night. I had made a wonderful new dish for dinner last night (thank you Jen) I felt like a chef at a fine Italian restaurant.






The boy who has been know to be a picky eater has been trying hard to eat what ever we fix. (Yes we may or may not be giving him a check off list that he can put a bird sticker by if he eats all his dinner.) So as we were eating this delightful dish Zack just couldn't do it. He was trying but keep gaging at the 1/4 of a mushroom and 1/8 of tomato that was mixed in with the chicken and pasta. Long story short I made him sit at the table and eat it all. When he saw me taking a picture and laughing he started to cry. That only made me laugh harder. I know I am mean mom.




When Danny got home from work and ate he asked Zack what he thought of dinner. Zack told him how great it was and he liked it a lot. So Danny said "you can have some of mine if you want? ""oh no I am OK. but it was way good!" Love him.

I did have a flash back of being about his same age sitting at the counter eat cold baking squash. Oh it was so bad. And Zack was right about the gaging you don't mean to your stomach just makes you do it...



* I 'm not that mean. Notice what he is drinking?? Yep left over from our trip to Maceys.

Here we go....

Well Here we are. A new year new me..Well we will see I wanted to go back and post all the pictures from the last 5 months but that's going to take way to much time. So I am just starting with today and maybe I'll throw some of the old pics in here and there.
So this is what we have been up to.


Helen: I cant believe she is already 5 months old. It has gone so fast. She is such a fun little thing. She is all girl. She is happy happy or sad as could be. She loves her baby food and is plumping right up :)



Me: Same old thing. I am loving being home. I miss my friends from work, but there is no place Id rather be then home with my little family. i am lucky that Danny is such a hard worker and that I am able to stay home.



Danny started a new job right after Ele was born. Its called Whole Sale Match. He is enjoying it and is happy to still be working with at least one of his brothers. He also ran his first Marathon. He did great :)


Zack is loving school. It is crazy to me that he is already in 2ND grade, and half way done. He is such a boy. All he ever talks about it is sports. Football, Basketball, Baseball, you name it. Oh yes and we love love us a little Jimmer :)
He is such a great big brother. Helen lights up when he walks in the room or holds her.. It





So there is the quick version of what we have been up to. One of my many goals this year is to be a better Blogger so we will see...
