Packer Princess

Here is Madison in her Super Bowl Tutu I just made!
Thanks to my honey for helping me talk it out.
It's my 2nd one but Madison adores it and at the end of the day that's what matters to me.
I love you my little Packer Princess!

Our blessing

As Jacob's 5th birthday comes to a close, it's now time to start shifting our plans and attention to our wonderful princess Madison. I was hoping to have more time over the weekend to blog a little bit but I will try and squeeze some in this week. For now, I wanted to present pictures of my baby girl throughout her first 2 years....I'm so proud of this little girl and can't wait to see what the Twos bring us!

7 days....

For some reason today I'm feeling a little sentimental. Maybe it's because we ordered the balloons and bought the decorations for our home celebration but I can't believe my baby is turning 5. Where does time go? I miss him so much as a baby but can't imagine him not walking and talking. This little boy is one of my best friends and despite the time outs and disciplining, I couldn't ask for a better son! I love you Jacob!

Chocolate Gravy

So this morning I decided to try another Southern Plate treat..Chocolate Gravy. I had my doubts, Mark had his doubts but it was so yummy!  Here is a picture of sweet Madison lovin' her Gravy biscuits....man if I knew I would get this sweet face every time I'd make Chocolate Gravy every day!!!  Thanks again Christy Jordan! You are a  working mama's best friend!  I've learned so much from your cooking over the last 2 months!

Test

Stop what you are doing...

I just made the SouthernPlate Old Fashioned Hot Chocolate...I'm not sure how I can go back to a mix ever again! If you are at home with the kiddos right now, make this! This was Mark's he added whipped cream and mini-marshmallows.

It is time!

So I've been tinkering with the blog move for a while. I can't seem to get the old post from the other blog moved over but I figured I'd go ahead and post out to the world on Augusta's 1st Snow Day of 2011 and Jacob's very first snow day from school.  What a difference a year makes, Jacob hated the snow last year and Madison didn't mind it. This year Jacob loves it and Madison hates it!  Since my concussion last year during the snow weekend, I'd rather just stay inside and watch. I did deliver hot cocoa to the kids outside with whipped cream and marshmallows, it wasn't homemade but my Keurig did a good job at it.  Maybe I'll try to whip up some of the cocoa that Christy Jordan has on my newest favorite website...I'll just have to see.  For now, everyone be safe and have a wonderful day.  Baby it's cold outside...(insert Jacob's voice..No it isn't!)

Here are the kids February 12, 2010 when the big snow first started:

Here they are today, as you can see Madison was not a happy camper!

Welcome!

Welcome to our new blog!  We have had to move, I'll update when I can. I am really excited that it's 2011 and January is a really busy month for us!
