Rolie Polie Olie

Gabe can roll to his side... he is so close to rolling over he just keeps getting his arm in the way...
UPDATE: Gabe rolled over on Halloween. I missed it.. but I was going through some of Adams old clothes and looked up and he was on his belly!

Tagged Again??

O.k. so I know I have done a lot of tags lately... But when you are named specifically you just have to do it!! Right?

Random Stuff Tag

So Kat Tagged me http://burtonnews.blogspot.com/ And here goes...


1. I love food... however, I am not so good at cooking.... If I have a recipe I can usually do alright... but even then sometimes I fail.... luckily for me a married someone who is very good at cooking!! Yea!!! I go through little phases of trying new recipes that I find... some to great new things and others ummmm not so much.... I once actually tried to do a melon soup... and it was a disaster. I thought it sounded good for some odd reason and it was one of the finalist in a soup contest... but it was not good.

2. I actually enjoy watching kids shows with my 2 year old... I do get kind of sick of them every once in a while... especially when we have seen the same episode over and over.. but then I find myself watching it anyways... hmmm...

3. I do love all sorts of food... but I do like a bowl of cereal! It's easy, it's instantly ready... and I love milk... and with my 2 year old pretty much only eating PB&J's I do tend to have cereal quite a bit! I also have the PB&J a lot as well.

4. Now that I am a mother... I find myself swaying when I stand... Even when I'm not holding a child.

5. I am addicted to Blogs... I love just seeing what other people post. And I love how each blog is so different. I find myself on blogs that I have no idea who they are and I have been reading it for 20 minutes.. I just find people so interesting!! I also like to get ideas for my own blog.

6. I love music... My sisters have a game where they try to name the group or singer first... I am HORRIBLE at that game.... You could play a song and tell me who it is and then play the exact same song 5 minutes later and I will have no clue who it is.... Even some of my favorite songs I have no idea who sings them...

7. I say stupid things all the time... I'll think something and in my head it is a good point or sounds just fine then I actually say it and I realize how it sounds or I say it and have no clue why it's so funny until someone explains it to me...Example of the realization as I say it... My son Adam was playing with some bouncy balls and foamy baseball, etc... they aren't the cleanest things out there and he kept licking them... so I said "Stop licking your balls!!" and we had company over.... I don't think I will ever live that one down.... I have a few others that I won't ever live down either...

My Big Boys

I can't believe how big these guys are getting!! Gabes already in 6 month clothes at 3 and 1/2 months... And with Adam being my Carb eater.. he definitely has some meat on his bones!

The Babies

Joseph and Crystal came to the Island for the weekend. She brought me some warm clothes for the boys for our trip to Utah. Thank you Crystal!! And I gave them some of the cookies we made. So we had to get pictures of the babies!! They were born like 16 hours apart... almost on the same day!! I guess we can't handle not having a friend of ours have a baby within 24 hours of us. (Adam and Tyler Burton were born the same day) I guess we should have gotten a picture of all of us... oops...

Cookie Time!!!!

So yesterday Adam and I made cookies!! I have been craving them and now that Gabe is a little more tolerant of the things I eat, i.e. chocolate, we made them.

I love that picture!!

Actually I couldn't get him to help me but we will pretend.

So these are the best cookies ever!! I got the recipe from Kyle's Mom. I'm not sure where she got it from... and I hope that it's o.k. that I share because these are to good not to share!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2 cups shortening
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
Cream together
2 tsp baking soda(dissolved in 2 tbsp water)
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp salt
4 cups flour
3 cups old fashioned oats
12 oz chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups nuts (optional, for you nut lovers out there. I prefer no nuts)
Bake for 7-9 minutes or until golden brown (I end up baking for around 12 or 13 minutes but I do rather large cookies)
Make sure you don't over bake them like I have done before..
they are much better a little on the gooey side!!

Yummmmmm........
