Colt

It is amazing to me how much our little Colt moves. He gets so active and loves to move right up into my ribs which makes life really uncomfortable. He is all ready a lot of fun though. He knows the sound of Kenny's voice. When he gets home for work I get all excited and then I start getting kicked and Kenny starts talking to me. I think it's amazing that even though he's not even born he all ready is so smart. I also get a lot of movement after I've eaten something spicy. It's also a lot of fun because you can feel him move. I love to share those kicks with his daddy. It makes life a little more exciting. Anyway we are doing his room in a cowboy theme so if anyone has suggestions or knows where I can get a few things let me know.
P.S. Don't even think about touching my prego belly without my permission. I wouldn't want anyone to lose a limb!

Here's to Mom's Soup Challenge

Harvest Hamburger Soup

1 pound ground beef
½ onion chopped
2 cans beef consommé
2 cups water
1 can corn
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
4 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 tsp. taco seasoning (chili powder)
Grated cheese

Brown beef and onions. In a large saucepan combine all ingredients except cheese. Cook uncovered until all vegetables are tender. Add grated cheese to individual servings. Makes 6 servings.

This is my personal favorite. It is a real hardy soup and good for cold days. It tastes delicious with bread sticks or rolls. I also use a little sour cream as a garnish.

The Cat's In The Cradle

We have finally started things moving on Colton's room. We cleaned out all of things we didn't want in his room and moved them to the spare room. Including the spare bed. Then we went and picked up the cradle that Grandpa Hulse made for Mom when Hayden was born; from Marinda's. Thank you so much for letting us use the cradle! Anyway after a long day of cleaning and moving (the bed, the cradle, and some motorcycles) and cutting hair. We finally went to bed. We hadn't had the lights out for more than ten minutes when we heard an unusual sound coming from Colton's room. A squeaking sound if you will. Kind of like a cradle rocking. So I went in there and turned on the light only to discover that Jynx had jumped into the cradle and had settled down and looked quite comfy. I couldn't help but laugh as the lyrics "the cat in the cradle and the silver spoon" jumped right into my head. So I thought I would share this with you. Hope you enjoy!

Halloween Fun!!

We had a pretty great Halloween. We carved pumpkins with Steph and Alaina. It was a lot of fun. Alaina made pumpkin seed soup. Steph and Kenny definitely carved the best pumpkins.
