Another Boy For Our Family!









I know I am posting this a little late but I had to wait for the clear to post on my blog since mine isn't private! I guess I should make it private! So Tiffany and Joe got the best Christmas Present ever!! Adam Chance was born on Dec. 9th at 11:51pm he weighed 7lbs 11 oz 21 inches. Everything went well! I have to remember the birth mom Maryann and the strength that she had to make this decision. I am very grateful to her and for the choice that she made! I don't think she could of picked anyone better to be his parents! I cry like like a baby every time I even think about this. Tiffany is a amazing person and I am not just saying that because she is my sister! Tiffany is one of my best friends too! She is someone that I admire and look up too! Yes she is my younger sister but she has been one of the greatest examples in my life. What she has had to go through to get to this point to be a mother is something I can honestly say I couldn't go through. I think that I take advantage sometimes how easy that it was for me to have become a mother. Seeing Joe and Tiffany parents is probably the best Christmas present I could of gotten! See the smile on Tiffany's face makes me tear up! Tiffany and Joe have been awesome Aunt and Uncle to my kids and my kids adore them! So I know that they will be the best parents!
I know that it was our Heavenly Father that had his hand in this to make all this fall into place and that has made my testimony grow so much! Power of prayer and fasting and has definitely blessed our family! Joe and Tiffany are gonna make wonderful parents for this little boy! Little man has so many people that love him so very much! And he is dang cute!! I can't wait to meet him next week! So mother nature better help us out here and make sure the roads are clear!!

Projects around the house!!




So I have decided that there are things that I just wanted to get done around the house! The backyard is the biggest thing but since the weather isn't the best this time of year we will wait for warmer weather for that so inside it is! I have been wanting to paint the other wall in my kitchen/eating area and we did it on Tuesday! Yeah!! I think it turned out great!! So I hung one shelf I got from IKEA and mom is gonna make a trip next week and I am gonna have her pick up the shorter one to put underneath and over the one I have there and I need two more frames to do my framed photography I guess you can call it! Rob and I took pictures at the beach when we went to Forks Washington for our anniversary it will spell Clark! I think it is gonna look awesome! What do you guys think? I have some other things planned to but that will have to wait for a little bit!

Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Cookies


The Black Beans!

The Chili!

These are the Pumpkin Chocholate chip Muffins
These are the Cheesy Muffins!
So Rob has been on vacation so we decided to cook a bunch of different things and freeze them! I have pictures of some of the stuff but not all of it sorry!! We made a huge batch of meatballs! We use them for spaghetti or sweet n sour meatballs. We made homemade mac n cheese and Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, Cheesy Muffins, Pumpkin white chocolate chip cookies(YUM)I am not a big fan of pumpkin stuff but these two pumpkin items are very good!! The cookies my visiting teacher gave me last year and I had her give me the recipe so I could make them!! I made a batch of Chili today for the Civil War game!! GO DUCKS!!! I made a crock pot of black beans that I will freeze into small portions for dinners! I use these in Mexican lasagna, tacos, nachos etc. It is nice that we will have things that are fast when I don't want to cook or we are short on time! I am also gonna make up some bean burritos then freeze those too! Tomorrow I am gonna make breakfast burritos and freeze some of those too! It does take time to make all this stuff but it is worth it when you need it!

Then Niki wanted to go see New Moon so I gladly went with her to see it again! Then woke up early to go Black Friday Shopping!! We got most of our shopping done! Just for each other left and a few things here and there! Then we went out to the coast Rob won a night at the coast from work so we decided to do it this last weekend because Rob is on vacation and wouldn't need to take time off. Mom and Niki watched the kids for us THANK YOU!!!! I am sorry mom didn't get enough sleep!Sierra didn't sleep well while we were gone! There is pictures of the beach from our room we had a awesome view! It was very windy though! We went to Newport and walked around and there was a rock covered with sea lions! It was crazy! Tons of them! Oh at that seagull was outside where our room is and it has a starfish in its mouth! I have never seen that before thought it was cooL!
