My Brilliant Chef!!

6 comments Posted by Eric and Jill at 5:30 AM


While I have known that Eric's cooking abilities don't compare with professional chefs or anything I had always thought that they were okay. Last night I was proved wrong. I had to work late but was really wanting to have some Jello (its low-fat and sweet!). Now my husband being as sweet as he is was totally okay with making it when he got home. Having never really made Jello before he looked at the box and saw the first direction and quickly went to work. That night when we went to have Jello, Eric tells me how perfect he made it because the Jello was fairly solid and could totally maintain its shape when moved from one place to the other. The only problem was the lime flavor was just a touch overwhelming! When it comes to cooking, he and I both have a terrible habit of reading the first instruction and then assuming our way through the rest. So minor problems occur such as forgetting that second cup of water! It still worked out but we had to add a lot of whip cream to balance it out (so much for low-fat!).

 

Baby Jackson!!!

So, I went in for my monthly visit on Monday and we had fun because we got to hear the heartbeat and see the baby! She printed off a picture but because of the way the baby was turned it wasn't very clear. Hopefully next time it will be better. The doctor did say that the baby has a good heartbeat and good size. Just what I wanted to hear. We even got to see the baby moving around while we were watching and that was exciting!

Here is a great personality quiz I was given. It was fun because it really described both Eric and I perfectly! Have fun because we did!

Our Little Devils

So we've been having a lot of fun with our little pets. They have thoroughly enjoyed pushing us to our limits...
First Devil: BELLA This pet is having a great time trying to get Izzie in trouble. For the last few days she has been avoiding her own litter box and feel free to relieve herself any where she chooses, which we first mistook for Izzie only to later discover it was her.

Second Devil: IZZIE
Now somehow this timid little dog has gotten quite a bit of courage. She is learning to think with her stomach versus her conscience and has learned to climb chairs. Who would have thought my dog would enjoy eating like we but oh, indeed she does.

 

Christmas at the park

On Saturday we got to go up and have Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Newey. While there we and several others took Carson to the park. He loved going on the swings and down the slides!



 

Merry Christmas

This year for Christmas we got to come back home to California. After a somewhat stressful flight we got to see our fmaily who we haven't seen since we left. This factor is one of my favorite parts of the holidays.
This present here would be my very own Sewing machine. I'll now be creating loads of new things. Top of my list would be clothes and curtains. The texas sun is bright.

This was obviously Logan's favorite Gift.
It makes Christmas morningi so much fun when you have the excitement that little faces bring in. Tyler played Santa for us and handed out presents.
