A blog about our crazy life and how we got to where we are...which is nowhere yet! How we lived the American dream in the spur of a moment and are now digging ourselves out of the hole. You will cry, hopefully laugh and take away a little lesson learned from our experiences. At least that's what we hope! Enjoy our blog/life.

Oat Bran yummy muffins

 So easy and so so yummy!
Check out the pic below, I added baby food to them. During the process of teaching Brady to eat with his hands, etc. He took a liking to it and now refuses his baby food from a jar. So, in order for him to get his vitamins and whatever else the baby food provides I have been thinking of ways to put in into food he can eat with his little pickers!
What you need: 1 box Kroger Brand, Low fat, No Cholesterol Oat Bran muffin mix. 1 cup raisins {whatever kind you like}{and optional} Cooking Spray. 2 1/2 jars of your favorite fruit baby food.
Follow the recipe on the back of the box, but just add your baby food jars to the mix and bake as directed.
As you can see above, I popped these little yummies in my mini muffin pan {by Pampered Chef purchased from my good friend Elizabeth Fryman
And wah-la! they fit in my little guys mouth perfectly!  He loves to grab them and go, the sad thing is, he's not crawling yet so he crawls and squishes them all over the floor!
Oh! A big yummy bite!  And he is eating his baby food and does not even know it!  What else can I come up with?  Got any suggestions?  I would love to hear them, and they will be featured here on the blog.

Screen Capture Software {Perfect for Bloggers}

Screen Capture Software
This software is perfect for bloggers!
Looks pretty neat to me.  I think I am going to use it!
It places a little camera down in the view bar next to your time (along with all your other important stuff - which makes it easy to find in a moments time) so when you find something you would like to blog about or save to your computer, you just hit that little camera.  And you can crop as well!


Here is some info directly from the site:
- Supports hotkeys, auto-saving, clipboard
- Automatically copies screenshots to the clipboard
- Tracks capture history, auto-saves captured images
- Saves files in BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG and TIFF formats
- Auto-names captured images



Head on over to the link above and check it out!

A month before you turn one!

So, my amazing little Brady is 11 months old and I just can't believe it.  This post is me fully rehashing this day 10/12/2010.
It started with my little stubborn bed bug in our bed this morning (he had been there since 4:40am) he had such a rough night of tossing and turning he ended up sleeping until 9am.  Once mommy finally rolled out of bed, after Brady tapping on my face and repeating "GAH" a million times, we headed to the kitchen for breakfast.  After working all month on his sign language, Brady finally put it to good use this morning!  We taught him, "more" and "all done" to help with eating.  Up until now, it's been a whiny demand for more food instead of a polite one (but he is a baby and it's totally understandable).  Anyways, sitting down to breakfast...I had just given Brady a bite of his food and started to text Kev to say good morning, I then noticed a motion out of the corner of my eye, and it was my awesome baby boy giving me the sign language for "more".  SO PROUD!
Some other adorable things you do/did today!

As mommy vacuumed the floor he clapped and giggled...double cute!
Still in the process of learning peek-a-boo, Brady just puts his hands in the air and then pull them down, never covering his eyes!  Extremely cute!!
Totally adores his daddy!  Way too cute!
Gets really excited now when I say papaw! I'm loving it! and so is my dad :)

It has been an amazing 11 months with our sweet baby boy! I cannot wait to celebrate the day of his birth in one month :)  It is not only his birthday but the day mine and Kev's lives changed forever! for the best!  What a sweet sweet day!
