Talkative Tuesday

Just a quick update, yes I was sick this weekend. It was my first time being sick in a while and I felt horrible for being out of commission for 2 days. This is what pretty much happened, started getting sick Friday...Halo came out and Matt played all weekend. I slept, but no he did not ignore me!

Instead he went out got me some medicine, and my favorite soda beverage. [for when I did get better, had my first one last night ahhh]



Then he made me dinner, and sat by me while I took a few naps we watched a few movies, he did the laundry too!
This is what I love to watch when I am sick...LOST


Now we are rewatching it since Matt has watched the whole thing, and the whole time Matt is amazed at all the new things you make connections to since you have watched it all the way through. Love him.

My family checked in on me and made sure I was fine, and today I had a nice little tango chat with my favorite kiddos! I am new at this but here are some of my favorite pictures from that chat. 
This is Savannah Lynn, [aka my nanner] She is showing me what she got in the treasure box today! She is in kindergarten already can you believe it?! [It is a pumpkin eraser if you couldn't tell :)  ]


Eliza Ann was also excited to talk to me for a second. She said a quick hi and the rest of the time she was running around the room, oh and giving her mother a new hair do.


Logan James was running around too, while also trying to kill his mother's plant by cutting it and was making faces at me the whole time. Such a cute little man!


Baby Ethan didn't want to be kept out of the conversation he seemed to demand my attention. {or just the attention of the phone} and made noises and sounds and I tried to entertain him..before he did this!

Crawled! Right before my eyes! He was using his elbows to make his way across the floor and I barely got this shot cause he was shooting his way to the camera!

Stop growing up when I am not there!


Although I am so glad they did call me, it made my day!

By the way I made this delicious treat for Matt yesterday for taking care of me all weekend.
The Caramel however, was a recipe from Joel so I don't have it! Sorry!


Caramel brownies! 

Well it was a pleasant Tuesday and I just wanted to document it because it made my day with a simple phone call. I have to go now because Matt and I are heading to the temple to finish off the day! 

We are trying to enjoy the temple so close to us while it lasts, because come April we are leaving. We might not be back until our kids decide to go to school here. 

Now now, don't look sad when I say goodbye just like Logan James did. 


More adventures to come I promise and we have a bright road ahead of us!
With the love of our family and friends we can always be happy.
I can't wait to see my family and I am so excited to! I have already promised the kiddos a sleepover with "un" Matt and Auntie KK for christmas!
And a movie...

"Un" Matt and Auntie KK 
are going to spoil those kiddos!
I can't wait for Christmas and my birthday..which by the way is in
17 days!

Hope you enjoyed this picture filled blog post! 
See you soon my dear family and friends!
[Also we will be going to another wedding!]


Until Next Time

Update. Stuffed Shells!


Moving Like A Boss

So as some of you may know we recently moved again and we are in our new place! Ahhh, we love it SO MUCH. 

We are close to campus so Matt can just bike there, although on my days off I like to drive him there so he isn't biking in the cold. We also have a ful kitchen and it is amazing! I have already made cookies about 3 times, with my amazing kitchen aid and done much more. Matt was even amazing enough to do so much when we first moved in. First of all he moved everything out with the help of his co workers in just the hours I was working. So I came back and everything was moved.



Best husband ever? I think so. This is just one snap shot of our place!

Well also get this, during that time I worked 7+ days in a row he also made me dinner! 

He made these amazing stuffed shells! 



As Always, Recipe Time

Stuffed Pasta Shells



Ingredients:

1 (12 ounce) package jumbo pasta shells
 2 eggs, beaten
 1 (32 ounce) container ricotta cheese
 1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
 8 ounces grated Parmesan cheese, divided
 1 tablespoon dried parsley
 2 teaspoons salt
 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
 1 (28 ounce) jar pasta sauce




Directions:



Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. 

Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes; drain.

In a large bowl, mix eggs, ricotta, half the mozzarella, half the Parmesan, parsley, salt and pepper until well combined.

 Stuff cooked shells with ricotta mixture and place in a 9x13 inch baking dish.

In a medium bowl, stir together pasta sauce, mushrooms and reserved mozzarella and Parmesan. Pour over stuffed shells.

Bake in preheated oven 45 to 60 minutes, until edges are bubbly and shells are slightly set.




Isn't he just the best? So while we were moving and all that, I finally convinced Matt to go see the doctor about his eye sight. While we were there we recently discovered that he is nearsighted! He was actually amazed at how much clearer everything is when he reads from far away! So now he takes a seat  at the back of the classroom and everything is crystal clear to him! Look at this stud ;)




For Halloween I had to work sadly enough but I got done around 7. All day I wore my outfit to work and it was a T-shirt Matt and I made that had SLENDER on it and the pages. Matt was as you guessed SLENDER. Of course there were a lot of other ones out here as slender man, those copy cats...so instead we decided to hang out with our favorite couple!

Denae and Joel, we just love these guys and we hope they aren't sick of us yet! We also found out that Joel has a hidden talent, he makes the BEST caramel. I am not even joking! So after we had our crock pot dinner we snacked on caramel apples, and candies, while we watched marble hornets. [for those who don't know it is about SLENDER and I even got scared!]


So that is pretty much all that has happened with us as of late, oh and my wonderful Hubby got an internship with the church for this summer! He will be working with them for 4 months and then who knows what will happen? We hope that he can get a job back east but he might need a little more experience before we can do that but cross our fingers we end up back east soon! 

So right now we are looking for places in Riverton, but we are also looking for places around and nearby so if anyone knows anything let us know! 

Also fun note, I will probably be working during the holidays we are away from family and all that so..Matt and I have decided to treat ourselves and go to OUTBACK. Nothing says like, family, home, and deliousness like outback.







Until next time
