Lots to post...

It's been a few days so I am going to post lots of pictures
and keep the commentary brief.
Last week started with L&L's Fall Festival at school
I signed up to hand out candy, so I completely missed taking a picture of Liam...
but got a cute one of Lieghton, as Alice in Wonderland.
Ashley rolled into town on Saturday morning,
it was a beautiful weekend.
Liam had a birthday party on Saturday, for his friend Jack
It was downtown at the Firefighter Museum...pretty cool!
We carved pumpkins, went to a Halloween party on Sunday night at the Salazars,
and then did some trick-or-treating on Monday night.
Ashley and I took some time to go get a pedicure and took a spin class together.
Liam, Trey, and Aunt Ashley went to the sushi train
(coolest thing ever, according to Liam)
They also got Liam some new boots and skis for the upcoming season.
He could go outside and use them this morning!  
Schools are closed and we just got another 6 inches of the fluffy white stuff...
Enjoy the photos!
I am going to take my coffee, go back up to bed, and watch GMA for 30 minutes this morning!


Exhausted and asleep at 6:50 pm

Ahhhh, Friday!

Hello!  And Happy Friday! I made it! Around 3:30pm, every Friday, I start to relax...because I know that Trey is about to come downstairs and "take over".  Today was a particularly hard day, because it was a migraine day.  For those who know me, I have been suffering from horrible migraines 1-2 times a month for the past 10 years.  It's awful, exhausting, and really hard to be a good mom/wife when I feel like I just want to crawl in bed and sleep the day away.  I took two doses of my medicine today, and I am still a little foggy.  I dread these headaches!  And, usually I just try and pretend they aren't happening...hence, me sitting here blogging instead of enjoying the silence while Trey is outside with the kids... But, I wanted to share some great photos with you! The kids grow every day!!  I swear each day they say something cuter and seem a little older. I love capturing all of this on film and talking about it, as bad as I feel some days, it...

Another long hiatus from blogging... we have been busy making and creating, I just have been really bad about sitting down at the computer and uploading everything! Leighton helping me make Lemon Blueberry Bread. Daddy and Liam were up at Winter Park skiing. Following in big brother's footsteps, she LOVES to cook! Unfortunately, like many of my baking experiments, it failed. The bread needed more lemon (in my humble opinion) and the blueberries needed to be finely chopped... they all sunk to the bottom :( Failure number TWO! Although we had lots of fun making homemade granola, something happened and the "bars" did not solidify. We ended up just eating it plain, Trey had some over ice cream. The recipe calls for butter, brown sugar, oats, and a few TBS of flour. I tried adding dried cranberries and slivered almonds.   I think the cranberries may have been too much for the butter and sugar to caramelize properly. I will try this recipe again though. My neighbor made th...

Pork, black bean, rice and cheese enchiladas

Happy Valentine's Day... a day late! We had a fun, sugared up, and crazy day. I woke up to the best Valentine's Day card I have ever received! Trey and the kids made this huge banner, complete with this list of things they love! If you are having a hard time reading it, don't worry, I did too :) I love you sweetheart!  And your terrible handwriting! One of Liam's Valentine gifts was a Chef's apron and hat. I bought Leighton and I matching ones several months ago.  Liam was bummed and wanted his own. I stumbled across this one on Zulily a few months ago. I think I paid $17.99 for it.  Liam LOVES it! Today he and I made Pork Enchiladas. Ingredients: Half a pork loin cooked and finely diced (I marinated mine with a balsamic glaze a few weeks ago, grilled, and then froze the leftovers) 1 can refried black beans 1/2 bag frozen southwest corn mix 1 bag Uncle Ben's ready to eat brown rice 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided 8 tortillas (I use the raw ones fro...
