Canned Butter

I stumbled across directions on how to can butter on the internet a few months ago. It sounded like such a great addition to our food storage and the process didn't seem too complicated. I finally got around to actually doing it and the results are 12 pint jars of canned butter! It really was very simple, just somewhat time consuming. It took me about 2.5 hours to get these canned, but it was also my first time. I've been feeling a big urge to work on beefing up our food storage. We've got a great start, but I really want to get an organized stash going with more than just the boring staple foods.

Ninja's 5th Birthday!

We had a party for Ninja to celebrate his 5th birthday! This kid is just awesome. He's smart, funny, articulate, and loving (when he wants to be). I'm so proud of the little man he's become, and I'm excited for what the next 5 years will bring. Happy Birthday, Ninja! Daddy and I love you so much!

It just feels good....

I just feels good when you are 13 weeks pregnant and you still fit into your jeans purchased from the Girls section of Target. Boy, what a self esteem booster.

This weeks cravings: Egg McMuffins and Grilled cheese with that fake american cheese.

Dentist Visit

The boys went to the dentist recently to have their teeth cleaned. It wasn't their first appointment, but I forgot the camera last time. They both did great and the hygienist kept commenting on how wonderful they were. We love our dentist and so far the boys get excited when they have to go.

Ninja was rockin' the awesome glasses.

Gambit thought it was funny when they "tickled" his teeth.

All clean!
