Family Pictures,

Thanksgiving 2010! Houston TX

 

 

 

Ok so this is a little old but still a good one.

I have to chuckle a little at this photo because Stephen has so much hair suddenly now, he looks bald in this pic compared to now. His hair now sticks up everywhere and will not lay flat! Too funny!

Stephen has been sick for a couple of weeks now! UGH!! It has NOT been fun. Started out with a stomach bug then got over that and a few days later got some kind of upper respiratory virus. We ended up taking him to the ER last Wednesday during the snow storm, not fun but necessary! He is finally starting to get better again. He is breathing much better.
So this past Sunday we couldn't take Stephen to the nursery at church so we stayed home from church. Bryce said he lets go to Red Rock and cook out so we made hamburger patties and got all our food and yummies ready to go and took off around 11:30 I think. Well we pulled up at Red Rock and there was/is a burn ban. Well there goes the cooking out., so we went to Sonic and got burgers and went back and played and ate. It was so much fun. Jacob LOVES to slide he just kept going down it the whole time. We really needed some family time and some fun. We are so blessed to have Bryce to keep us having fun. We played for a little while then came on home, we had some errands we had to take care of. Well once we got home from playtime and errands we slept for a little while.

Yesterday was Valentines day and we had a great day! We decided to stay home and not go out and spend any money on babysitter and dinner or anything else. So I made Red Velvet cupcakes and pink icing. The icing was my VERY Favorite. I have never made icing the way this recipe was made. It was something like this, this is off the top of my head, cook milk and flour until thickened then let cool completely, cream butter sugar and vanilla together and then add the milk and flour mixture to the butter sugar mixture and beat until spreadable. I added red food coloring to make it pink and iced the cupcakes!!! So good. Then I made Bryces favorite meal, homemade chicken corden bleu with roasted asparagus and mashed potatos. We had more family time and played with the boys until bedtime. Once they went to bed we watched a little tv and had cuddle time then fell asleep early. It was a wonderful day. Also Bryce brought me beautiful roses and gave me a card and a card from the boys. I loved it!!
