Windex wonderings…

Posted: Saturday, March 31st, 2007 @ 8:19 pm in Ashley | 3 Comments »

Why is it that when you are washing windows the spot is always on the other side of the glass?  Even if you have just cleaned the other side.
Why is it that when I use the combination of streak-free microfiber cloths and streak-free windex my windows have streaks?  I take solace in the fact […]

Here kitty, kitty, kitty…

 Hunter got bit by the same stray cat a second time today.  He cried, was comforted,  then immediately went back to pet the same unhappy cat.  I guess he is a cat-lover.

Talking with our Girl

Autumn is an interesting conversationalist. Her favorite knock, knock joke:
Me: “Knock, knock”
Autumn: “who’s there? monkey butt” (giggles)
Our dinner conversation:
Autumn: “Who is that? (on the syrup bottle)”
Me: “Aunt Jemima”
Autumn: “Why?”
Me: “Because it is her syrup, Aunt Jemima’s Syrup”
Autumn: “What is her middle name?”

WFMW: Baby Food Jar Organizers

I love using baby food  jars to organize small items.  The above pictures are how we have used them to organize our bathroom items.  They are also helpful for small items like nails, tacks, paper clips and loose change.  We are even planning on putting together a baby food  jar spice rack.  Brian is going to […]

Getting up Early, part II

Posted: Tuesday, March 27th, 2007 @ 12:53 pm in Ashley | No Comments »

As you may have read, for the past two weeks I have tried to get up early and accomplish some of my daily duties before my kids wake me up. Many of my friends have said they would like to do the same. To them and anyone else trying this, I […]

Enjoying Bringing up Boys

I’m only 2 chapters into Dobson’s book, but I’m already really enjoying it.  I’ve read most of it out loud to Brian because it’s so interesting.  We particularly liked Dobson’s description of boys in the first chapter.  He explains,
 …one of the scariest aspects of raising boys is their tendency to risk life and limb for […]

Hunter’s New Friend

Posted: Sunday, March 25th, 2007 @ 1:01 pm in Ashley | No Comments »

Hunter and Sam Snell (Jessica’s son) are just a few months apart.  Now that they are both over a year old they have become buds.  At church this morning they played with each others toy animals while Jessica and I tried to keep them from disturbing the bishop’s talk.   It’s fun to see them be boys together.

SCT: Chicken Tortilla Soup

Posted: Thursday, March 22nd, 2007 @ 7:04 am in Ashley | 6 Comments »

This is another well-loved recipe that we have fairly regularly.  On Monday I bought the canned ingredients at the 99 cents store, used left-over chicken (From Amie’s California Chicken recipe) and stale chips. It only cost me $5 to feed my family! 
Ingredients:

4 chicken breast halves (I often use left-over chicken of chicken thighs)
2 15oz cans of black […]
