Landon is growing up!

Landon is starting to say more words like shoe, hi, love you, and thank you. He's also mimicking us more with animal sounds and laughing and clapping whenever he hears or see it. He also LOVES dancing to anything with a beat. Even if it's dad bangin on the table! He loves showing off too. If he knows we are watching he will start fake laughing like he just did the funniest thing. Then he claps at himself. Of course, we just laugh more and, of course, he continues!

This is such a cute picture! He looks so big! he just turned 18 months old!


Landon is playing with his new friend Ezra and his mommy Brittany. It was our first play date. Mostly just a nice day to talk to another 1st time mommy. It's nice to have someone to relate to.

This was too cute! Landon is finally wanting to cuddle with us.

This used to be a ball, but got a hole in it. Jeff made it bigger and started putting it on Landon's head. He thought it was hilarious!

It even fit on dad's head!

My Birthday!

I am now 25! My insurance went down and I can actually rent a car without paying through the nose for being 'too young.'

June 5th was the big day. It was a great day!

Earlier in the day we went to 'Up'. It was a really cute movie.

Jeff made really cool baskets out of the cantaloupe and watermelon!
He made the balls too!
One of my presents!

Landon loves to splash!!


then I invited a bunch of friends over and made them sweet pork burritos and we had 'Nothing Bundt Cake' and ice cream. I opened presents and then we went swimming! It was a lot of fun!

More Texas!

Joy got an iphone for a graduation present so Brooklyn got her old phone. She was having fun playing with it.

I am posting more pictures on Facebook, so if you want to see more, you'll have to look on facebook!

The graduate!

Me and Brooklyn before the graduation started.

I went to Texas a couple of weeks ago and had a BLAST! It wasn't very long, but it was great! I went because Joy received her Masters Degree! It was great to see Darin and Joy and Brooklyn! I had tons of fun. Brooklyn and I made homemade Butterfingers! Yum! We went out to lunch with Joy's family and went to a movie. The graduation was nice and the rest of the weekend was just enjoyable! I missed them from the moment I got on the plane! If only I could go back more often!

Landon and dad had a fun, but stressful weekend without me. Jeff was definitely glad to have me home again! It was a good bonding time for them though. Landon seems closer to his daddy. Of course, when I got home he had changed! I'll be posting pictures soon!

Cooking!

So obviously, I've been cooking a lot more lately with different things, and have been enjoying it a lot. It hasn't been easy because I have a picky husband, I admit, I am picky, but I also can't eat some things because my body doesn't process it, so it has been challenging, but enjoyable!

If you want to share any recipes, I wouldn't mind!

Sweet Pork!

So I have been wanting to find a good recipe for Sweet Pork to make some burritos at home. I looked on several websites and even blogs and someone, I don't know who, suggested a recipe that is so much simpler than all the others that I have seen! I tried it and LOVED it! (So did my family!) So I thought that I would share it with all of you too!

Sweet Pork

3 lbs Pork (can be roast, shoulder, or butt)
1 can enchilada sauce (any kind)
1 to 1 1/2 Cups brown sugar
water

In a crock pot, add as much water that will cover half of the pork. Cook for 5 hours on high, or 8 hours on low. Take out pork. Drain water from crock pot. Shread pork with fork and take off bones and fat.
In a mixing bowl, add enchilada sauce and brown sugar.
combine pork and mix and return to crock pot.
Cook for additional 2 to 3 hours. Enjoy!
(doesn't smell sweet at first, but after an hour or two will smell and taste divine!)


I also bought green enchilada sauce, back beans, and mozzarella and made rice to add to the burrito, which made it even better!

For the rice, I just put 1 cup rice with 2 cups chicken broth (or 2 cups warm water with 2 dissolved bouillon cubes in it) and cooked it in my rice cooker. Yummy on it's own too!

Try it! You'll like it!
