So I put Maisy in some pink and actually got a bow in her hair! She looks so girly, somehow it doesn't look quite right???

Playing outside

Maisy and Bodhi LOVE to play in the water. I took some of these pictures through the window yesterday. Sometimes I like to spy and see what happens when they don't know I am looking. I think I need to teach Bodhi some manners!

How do I post a link?

Ok, I obviously don't know how to post a live link. I would also like to learn how to have a new window pop up when someone clicks on a link from our blog. Can anyone tell me how to do this??? Thanks!

Spring Chicken Dinner

This blog is sort of turning into an update as to what we eat for dinner! This one we have to share though, it was great. I saw the chicken recipe on 30 Minute Meals. Pound the chicken breast super thin, season it with salt and pepper, layer a piece of prosciutto or ham, a slice of provolone and then lay 3 or 4 asparagus spears across and roll them up. Coat the bottom of a pan with olive oil, heat to medium and lay the chicken in seam side down. Cook the chicken 4-5 minutes per side and remove from the pan. For the sauce add 2 Tbsp each of butter and flour then stir in 1 cup chicken stock and 1 Tbsp Dijon. Stir while scraping the good stuff off the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat add zest and juice from 1/2 a lemon and sprinkle with parsley. It was really good. We used deli ham and it was little thick and a little salty, next time we'll definitely use prosciutto or shaved smoked ham. As far as the potatoes, we went to a pool BBQ Saturday and were served these delicious baked potatoes. She sliced a potato in half, lightly covered it with olive oil cooking spray and salt and pepper and baked them for about 30 min on a high temp, about 475. She served these with a sour cream, green onion, dill and garlic sauce. We made this sauce (with low fat sour cream) and I'm proud to say we used green onions from our garden! The meal was delicious!

Lemonade

Wow, when life gives you lemons you make lemonade right? Well, lemonade gives me heartburn so we'll see how this goes! We're remaining positive and hopeful. We are actually kind of excited to see what this next chapter will bring. I got laid of when I was pregnant with Maisy and now Matt with this litle peanut. Strange. We are so grateful to have the family that we do and it gives us faith to know we're going to be fine. Thanks for thoughts. Love you all!
