Girls Night Out With My Bible Study

Sunday night my Bible study went out to dinner at a place called Fondue Fred's in the heart of Berkley. I just LOVE these ladies... they mean SO MUCH to me. We are all different ages ranging from 19 to 36, some married, some not married, some with kids, some without kids, totally different life experiences and it is WONDERFUL! I love learning from these ladies. God has transformed their lives and it is awesome to see! They have made such an impact on my life.

Everyone in our Bible study...

Mercy holding Isabel and Emily

This was my favorite... Fiesta cheese fondue! YUMMY!!

Bethany and Myca

Tisha (expecting #3), Tammie, and Me

Me and Jessica (Shasta's mom)- she sings with TJ in the worship band and has an amazing voice! She is expecting #2, a boy!

Baby Isabel was the only child allowed to come :) She was precious!

Fall and Food...

Fall:
I saw this picture on a blog that I read often and oh how it made me laugh... I hope it makes you laugh too! I LOVE fall and it's my favorite because of AUBURN football and all the yummy candy and holiday food.

Mourning Now Were Cooking:
We ate our LAST NWC mean on Thursday. I cried (okay I was faking it but my heart was really breaking inside!). Karoline looked at me and said "Don't cry mommy!"... NWC is going to come out with a cookbook so I hope to start making some of my favorite recipes again soon!

What To Do Now:
Well, now that NWC is gone and my mom is gone I have had to cook like regular people! BUT I found these great Macaroni Grill boxed dinners in the grocery store. I LOVE Macaroni Grill but we don't go out to eat often at all. They are really good and I recommend them but I did do a little adding to what the box says. I added some pasta b/c it does not come with much and sometimes I add some wine. Be creative...

My favorite fall candy...
I LOVE LOVE LOVE candy corn time! I know you can buy it year-round but I usually only buy it during the fall. Karoline likes to call it "special candy"... YUMMY!!

Bacon Wrapped Filets:
Last night we had bacon wrapped filets at Emily and Ryans house... no picture but they were SO GOOD! We had a great time with them but I'll post the pictures of the girls later. They are on my smaller camera.

It's hard to do a post without pictures of the children for the grandparents so here you go...

Friends

Karoline had a great day today...Avery and Isabel (and Emily) came over this morning and Shasta (and Shane and Jessica)came over tonight. She really enjoyed playing with her friends! Anderson had fun too but he always goes with the flow anyway :) Karoline gets super excited when friends come over to play! Here are some pictures with our friends today...
Karoline really enjoyed holding Isabel...


Karoline and Avery enjoying looking at books...

Shasta- Isn't she SO cute!?

I found them all in the bathroom... all three really enjoyed playing together!

We really tried to get them to hug :) Shasta was trying to give kisses and Karoline would laugh! It was cute!

Little Man...

Here are some other pictures from this week...

That's Huggums bottle... not going to get any milk from that Anderson!



Karoline's favorite thing to to do outside is get Dora and Huggums and play with them on the swing set.


I hope everyone has a great weekend and I really hope Auburn wins! War Eagle!

Videos

I have not uploaded videos in a while so I had a lot today... I did not edit them much at all since I don't have a lot of time but I know the grandparents will enjoy them. Two new posts are below the videos...

Pictures From Our Week

Okay, I'm in trouble again! Mom here are a TON of pictures. We have had a VERY busy week and our to-do list for tomorrow is crazy. Anderson is feeling MUCH better this week and it's been great. The nursery workers at church today were so glad he was back.
TJ was out of town on Friday so Karoline and I had our first girls night. I did a post below with those pictures.

Karoline thought Huggums wanted to nap on Whisper... poor dog!

Oh they have so much fun playing together... 90% of the time!


Little TJ...


Sam and Luke came over to visit...

Karoline LOVES to wear TJ's hats...

I found her in the chair wearing two pairs of sunglasses...

Karoline has started a new chore... feeding Whisper.

Karoline on the phone with Gammy!

Oh the joys of being 2 years old! :) I promise she was completely happy 1 second before...

Karoline really got into cheering during the game...

Playing during the game...

My Girl...

Girls Night
Our first "Girls Night"... TJ was out of town on Friday so after we went to a birthday party we stayed up a little later watching Dora and we painted her toe nails and finger nails for the first time... she LOVED it!





Playing With The Crib
The other day Karoline wanted to put her babies in the crib so she could watch them on the baby monitor. She ended up putting EVERYTHING almost in the crib. It was great entertainment for most of the afternoon! I wish I would have taken a picture at the end because the crib was half full! She had babies, stuffed animals, sippie cups, hair brushes, books, etc... It was so funny. She had a blast until we made her put it all away.





A Short Story: The other morning when I went to get Karoline out of her bed we had this converstaion:

KBG: Mommy, my lap is broken.

Me: Your LAP??? is broken???

KBG: Yes, help help, my lap is broken!

Me: I don't know how to help you baby...

Then I realized what she was doing... she was trying to sit indian style and could not get her legs to cross!! When I moved her legs into indian style she said...

KBG: Yeah! My lap is not broken!!

Oh how I LOVE my little girl!
