Super Yummy Dip....

So we had Andrew's birthday party to go to, and we had to bring an appitizer. Rob said to look in his mom's cookbook for the artichoke dip. It wasn't the one he thought it was, but this one was sooo good and it was a big hit at the party! Lucky for me it was super easy to make! So here is the recipe:

8oz. cream cheese

2 oz. frozen artichoke hearts

1/3 cup grated parmesan 

1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

2 tsp. fresh lemon juice

1/2 tsp. of each salt & black pepper

1 small garlic clove- finely chopped

In a food processor bowl, combine all ingrendents and  blend together. Make sure the artichoke breaks into small pieces. Make 1 1/2 cups.

I made 2 servings and served with cut up bread and crackers.

I am sooo happy that we have Carol's Cookbook! I can't wait to try more recipes from her cookbook!

So Kellan is crawling!

Kellan has been on his hands and knees for a little while now, and the time has finally come... He is mobile! He does a crawl scoot, and he is everywhere.... and fast! Its hard to keep up with him! I can only imagine what it is like when he starts to walk!! He is also sitting up too! Most of the time when he sits up, he ends up sucking on his toes! It is sooo cute!! He makes me that happiest person when he smiles!!

We wanted to show a little love to his Grandma Carol... We miss her sooo much and we know she is watching over us everyday! We will tell Kellan all the wonderful things about Grandma Carol. Kellan was loved sooo much by Grandma Carol before he was born. She gave us this really cute sleeper with bears all over it. Kellan wore it all the time, and now that he is grown out if it, we will keep it forever. We love you Grandma Carol and we know that Kellan would have loved you soo much too!

Solid Foods!

So we have started Kellan on Solid Foods!! I am making all his baby food myself, just so I know what is it the food. And its sooo much cheaper! We started with bananas and feed him each food for about 4 days. Now he has eaten banana, zucchini and pear. I just made peach for him today. He has taken to all the food really good... He also is eating rice cereal in the morning after his 1st bottle. He is taking to that too! I am just amazed that he is old enough to be eating solids! We also bough him a started chair, called the bumbo. Its works perfect because it helps supports him to sit up and when he wants to gnaw on some thing, its foam so he loves to suck on it.

One of my best friends is starting a organic baby food company and I want to give her a little recognition! Jayme has a new baby boy, Keaton, who is 2 months older than Kellan. She is such a great mother and has a passion for feeding Keaton healthy baby food! Any one who doesn't have the time to make there own baby food, and like to know whats in there baby food is all natural... Please buy Kama'e Baby! Her number is 209-483-0497! Call her!!

Kellan is getting close to crawling!!

So on Saturday, Kellan got on his hands and knees! I couldn't believe it! Since then, all he wants to do is be on his hands and knees. He had been scooting around every where. We are sooo proud of our little boy!!!

Kellan is 4 months!!

So our little man turned 4 months on July 8th! He has the cutest personality too! At his 4 month Dr. visit he weighed 15 lbs 8 oz and was 26 1/2 inches long! He is growing like a weed!! I am loving every new thing he is learning!

We have started taking Kellan swimming!! He does pretty well, but only if he is in the water with Rob or I. He even kicks too! Its sooo cute!

We also had a 4th of July Party since my cousin Heather and her 2 kids, David & Missy were in town from Oregon! It was really great to see everyone! And we were sooo happy to show off our little man!! Kellan did pretty well for having all those people around.

New work hours

So I have finally changed my work hours after 4 1/2 years at UPS. I was working the 330 am - 900 am Preload shift, and now I am working 4 pm - 930 pm shift. Rob and I are sooo happy for the change to finally happen! We never got to see each other between both of our crazy schedules! It will be better on Kellan too!
