6 months & Counting

It is truly so amazing just how fast your little one grows.  When you first have your baby you hear non-stop about just how quickly they grow up, and you can't truly appreciate this absolute fact until you watch it right before your very eyes with each milestone; a new squeal, a new manuver, and sight of the first tooth.  It is so very exciting to watch them grow and develop, yet one can't help but to feel slightly saddened in the realization that your baby will not always be a baby.

This is definitely the work of his papa!!  Mmmm... Sweet Potato Surprise!

My Bad!!

Ok, my bad!!  There will be no jean party.  I totally realized just earlier today that it will completely interfere with Conference, and we can't have that, now can we?!!

Before & After

beforeafter

It's amazing to see the contrast of Ammons head before and after the surgery.  He was so incredibly adorable before but you can see how narrow it was up top compared to now.  I am so grateful for modern medicine, surgical practices, and a marvelous surgeon!  Now Ammon has a perfectly round little nogin!

Funny Baby

Oh my little man is so sweet!  He laughs at everything, this makes me feel pretty good, like I'm a really good  comedian or something

Savory Chicken Sandwiches

This is a perfect summer dinner to squeeze in before it starts getting too cold!  These are the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had!  The flavor is so good and they smell fantastic while they simmer in the slow cooker.  

4 chicken breasts

1 envelope onion soup mix

1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

1/4 cup italian salad dressing

6 hamburger buns

Directions

Place chicken in a 5-qt. slow cooker.  Sprinkle with soup mix and garlic salt.  Pour dressing and water over chicken.  Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or high about 5 hours.  Remove chicken; cool slightly.  Skim fat from cooking juices.  Shred chicken and serve warm on the buns.  Delish!!

Just Cant Get Enough...

So lately I just cant seem to get enough food.  I swear I'm hungry all day long!  This completely goes against everything I've trained myself to do over the past three years, yikes!!  I think it's because I've recently fallen in love with cooking again and I get so excited to taste the evenings fine cuisine, and therefor I'm no longer afraid of food as I have been.  In a way it's incredibly liberating, not being so confined and consumed by the unquenchable need to diet and stay in shape, or rather, get in shape; And of course, as you've by now guessed my plan to do a figure contest has waved bye-bye, but for now I don't even care, I can hardly believe my own cavalier thoughts on the matter.  Perhaps this is a new me...geeze I hope not!
