Random Things

So here are some random things that don't necessary go together but didn't want to write an entire blog for each but wanted to share! As you know back in January I wrote as a new years resolution to cook more often. Well it has taken me until the end of April to finally just step out there and do it. I am going to be honest with you I really do not or did not know how to cook. Some of it I can blame on confidence and fear and some on not being prepared (planning) for an entire meal. Well I think that I am overcoming the fear of cooking. I finally told myself that if it wasn't good then I always had cereal that I could eat for the night!!! If you have any easy and good recipes feel free to pass them along!

First of all excuse the paper plate! I hate washing dishes so I prefer the plates that you can throw away! I cooked fried pork chops, fresh cabbage (from strawberry 903 farm), corn bread, and macaroni and cheese. I really should have posted this on my proud blog because I could not believe that I didn't burn the house down in the process! I have actually cooked two other times since this meal as well! WOO HOO!

When I was washing bottles the other afternoon I noticed the sun shining really bright across my front yard. Of course I quickly picked up my camera in hopes to take a different picture. I think the sunset turned out pretty good

So this is what Little Luke Allen is up to these days. He loves to nap in his car seat. He still wants to eat about every 3 hours and will sometimes go a little longer if he is riding around with his mommy. I think I wear him out. We call him our little grunt because when he drinks his bottle or is trying to go to sleep he makes all kind of grunting noises. They are too cute! I am still waiting on that big smile that I know I created. I have seen a few smiles that I'm pretty sure the angels have created but not a big Mommy smile yet. Over all he is a great baby!!
