Isaac Takes on Kiddie Kandids

These are the pictures from Isaac's first photo shoot at Kiddie Kandids.

Finally!!!

I finally found the camera so here are some pictures of Isaac. Most of them are from that period where he is still scary looking with the conehead and everything. After the first couple visitors we also completely forgot to take anymore pictures, so I apologize to the many visitors we had in the hospital who are not represented here.

Hmm...

I'm just not sure what to say about this. You can purchase your vary own "Chia Pet" in the form of our current president. For a mere $19.99 and a visit to www.chiaobama.com you can be the proud owner of a Chia-Obama featured in either a happy or determined pose. This particular one is the happy version. One things for sure, this makes me proud to be an American!

Fantasy Football!

It's that time of year again; I love football season! We had our fantasy football draft this week and once again all of my hopes and dreams for winning the league hinge upon Tom Brady. For good measure I even have Randy Moss as a receiver, so I have a lot riding on him being productive. I have a lot to live up to! This is the third year of our league and so far I have won it all and taken second place to my husband. So even though it truly pains me to say it, GO PATRIOTS (unless you are playing the Colts)!

Baby Shower Food

There were some requests for the recipes of the food served at the baby shower that Erin threw last Saturday. I don't have all of the recipes yet, but here is the recipe corn salsa, which was AMAZING! Kudos to Erin and thanks again for the fabulous shower!

Avocado Corn Salsa

Mix together:

2 cups of super sweet white corn, thawed

¼ black olives, chopped finely

1/8 tsp red pepper flakes

2 cloves of garlic, minced

¼ - ½ cup vegetable oil

¼ lemon juice

3 Tb apple cider vinegar

1 ½ tsp oregano

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

If you have time, let the above ingredients marinate in the fridge overnight, if not, that's ok too. Right before serving, dice 4 avocados and add to the mix, stir gently.

Happy Birthday Garrett!

August has been a very busy month in our house, we've had sibling/in-law/nephew birthdays, a wedding to plan and execute, baby and bridal showers, multiple house guests, a family boating trip, and a trip or two to Altaview. All of this aside it is important not to forget the most important day of the entire year: GARRETT'S BIRTHDAY! So happy birthday "G-Train", "Big Sexy", "Garaputo", "Gare Bear", "The Man", or any other nickname that you are currently choosing to go by! I love you!

Oops...

I have a goal for myself to try and blog at least once a month. I was just looking at the blog and realized that I completely missed June, so oops!

In other news Heather and Tyler recently got a "love" puppy named Brutus and Jack is not adjusting well. Brutus is a German Shepherd who loves to play with Jack's tail. Hopefully Jack will adjust to Brutus just in time for him to have to accept the baby into the home.
