Announcement!!!

Just want to let everyone know (if you don't already) that we are expecting again. I am about 10 weeks along and we had our first ultrasound this morning. My doctor said everything is looking really good so I thought it would be okay to make the announcement official!! :-) And for those of you hoping I would have twins -- I'm sorry to disappoint you -- only one baby in there!! I am relieved though -- I was really hoping it was not twins. So, my prayers were answered!! We took Isaac with us to the ultrasound and he kept saying "her" so we'll see -- maybe he knows mores than we think!! :-)

Our little "Pirate" and his first dentist appointment

I haven't blogged in awhile. Since signing up for facebook, I'm on that all the time. So, my blog has kind of become forgotten!! But I wanted to put up some new pictures of Isaac. Some are of him and his pirate stuff -- he is totally into pirates right now. Jason and I always have to be "Captain Hook" and he gets to be "Peter Pan". Why are we the bad guy??




Then the rest of these pictures are of Isaac's first trip to the dentist. I just took him so he could kind of get use to the idea of the dentist. He did not like it very much. When we first got there, he was very excited. But then when he got in the chair, he was NOT happy!!

Jason's Birthday

Jason's birthday was very fun with Isaac. I think he enjoyed more than Jason did. It was all he talked about all day. We went to the grocery store and he was SO worried that we would forget to buy daddy's birthday cake. Then he wanted to buy candles for the cake -- so we couldn't forget that. He must have told Jason "Happy Birthday, Daddy!" at least 50 times yesterday. I think Jason was starting to get tired of hearing it -- it was pretty funny. Then after we ate dinner, he wanted to eat "Happy Birthday Cake". But I told him we had to wait till after church -- everyone was coming over then. So, when we got home from church he kept saying "eat Happy Birthday cake". He was so funny yesterday. I do think Jason enjoyed his birthday. I made him what he wanted for dinner -- orange roughy, steamed carrots, and asparagus. It was a good dinner. And then I made him Jello Punch Cake. Since he is watching his diet, this cake he could eat -- not AS bad for you! After we had cake we played Mario Cart on the Wii -- it was funny watching everyone playing it. It was a fun night -- Happy Birthday, Honey!!

Happy Birthday Jason!

Today is my husband's birthday -- he is 27 -- he's catching up to me! :-) Birthdays are never a big deal to him but I try to make it a special day for him. I asked him what he wants for dinner -- he likes seafood and I hate seafood -- but he wants me to make fish so I guess I will since it is his birthday. And then I am making a cake and we are going to have our family and a couple of friends over after church tonight. I hope it is a good day for him!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a good 2008 and has an even better 2009!! Happy New Year to all my blogging buddies!!

Coconut Cream Pie

Coconut Cream Pie
2 1/2 cups milk
2/3 cup sugar
4 Tblsp. corn starch
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup angel flake coconut
3 egg yolks
2 Tblsp. butter or oleo

Meringue: (I like whipped cream instead)
3 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar

Mix milk, sugar, egg yolks, salt, vanilla, and oleo in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; add coconut and cornstarch which has been moistened with enough water to be well dissolved. Continue to boil until thick. Pour into baked pie crust. Top with meringue of the beaten 3 egg whites beaten until stiff to form peaks. Add 1/4 cup of white sugar and beat well to be sure sugar is dissolved well. Sprinkle extra coconut on top and brown in 350 degree oven until lightly browned. (If using whipped cream, put pie in refrigerator after pouring in pie crust and then top with whipped cream.)
