Great Grandma & Great Papa Come to Visit...

Yesterday my grandma and papa came to spend the day with Ryder and I. We were so excited that they were going to be coming over! They hadn't been down since before my papa's heart attack/surgery.

 I was so grateful for how much help my g-ma was.

My grandma was so helpful today. I got so much stuff cleaned, organized, put away, and finished. Felt soooooooo good! So Grandma, Thank you!

 Bath time for the BABY!

"I'm gonna get you ggma!"

Thank you PINTEREST

To start off I LOVE Pinterest... It's like the best time killer ever. I could spend hours, even when I don't need to kill time on there. I rarley need a "time killer" with a mobile 7 month old so I'm not sure where I am find this time but thats besides the point, I LOVE Pinterest. 

During one of my Pinterest searches this morning I came across an awesome idea! It was a tutorial on how to make "hard boiled eggs" in the OVEN!! yes the OVEN. I was in shock too! and I tried it.. and they were the BEST hard boiled eggs I have ever made. I am a fan of hard boiled eggs so this was pretty cool to find. and it was super easy. I think I will from now on ALWAYS offer to make deviled eggs at Thanksgiving and Christmas :)

Heres how "I" did it :)

Preheat the over to 325 degrees 

THEN

 

..I got eggs... and put them in mini muffin pan! Figured they were safe in there incase they cracked. You can just lay them down on the grates..

Cook for 30 minutes....

tick tock, tick tock, tick tock!!

After the 30 minutes take them out and put them in an ice bath.. these were in an ice bath, I took the picture too late and all the ice had melted.

 Crack and enjoy! See they turned out awesome :) I usually always get the "green ring" around the yolk and to my surprise there is no green ring. I was pretty impressed.

I can't wait to tell Austin what I did... I'm guessing he is going to laugh!

March 5th, 2012

Austin and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary on the 5th. We went out to dinner at the Pyramid tap room at the Rose Garden, then went to the Blazer game! It was so nice to get out and spend time together. and we LOVE the Blazers so it was a double bonus :) 

Swing Swing!!! Feb. 19th, 2012

About a month ago while Ryder and I were on a walk I decided to put him in the swing and see if he liked it... HE DID! He LOVED it. He was laughing and smiling so much. It was very cute. 

 "mom, i'm not too sure about this whole swing thing!"

 "okay, I REALLY like this!"

He is such a sweet baby boy!

:) love love love him!!

Shopping Trip with Grandma Debbie!

Yesterday we spent the afternoon with my mother-in-law, Debbie. We went out to Woodburn outlet mall and got a TON of clothes for baby Ryder. He is growing like a weed so we are very blessed that they bought him more clothes. It was nice getting to spend time together and get clothes he really needed! Here is a little picture of Ryder with his new clothes fro yesterday. He is so stinking cute :) ohhh he is awaking up from his nap. Gotta run! Will update more later...

Luke 6:27-28

Take a minute...

Put your pride aside...

Let go of your anger...

and LISTEN... LISTEN to what God has to say....

LUKE 6:27-28

⁷ “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,²⁸ bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

It is so easy in life to do the complete opposite, when someone hurts you or mistreats you its easier to lash out, want to get revenge, curse the person up and down... but God says to LOVE that person. 

I have come to realize that in life there will always be people that are sad on the inside and find "joy" in hurting others. What they don't realize is that it isn't joy they are feeling. They are experiencing being controlled by evil. One cannot have true joy from hurting others. They are simply living a life without God, and there is no joy in that.

I am making a promise to myself and to God to be more Godly, to truly believe in God, to seriously listen to the scripture, to love my enemies, to avoid anger and to PRAY. because ultimately, who am I to judge ones actions? We all will have the ultimate judgement one day by the only one that matters. 

I am by no means perfect, I am a sinner. I am a work in progress but I want to strive for ultimate happiness... I pray for myself, to turn to God in times of hurt and anger and to LOVE all around me :)

The BLUE door

Oh the blue door, how I love you. You are in my head all the time :) Okay, not all the time but a lot of the time! I love this door. Its beautifully distressed! Sadly the city of Dayton is changing out the doors.. SO goodbye doors.. Here are some pictures of the famous (to me) doors!!
