Pedal Bike

Grady has been riding his balance bike really well lately.  He has really been enjoying going to the new Extreme Sports Park to ride his bike on the Skate Park.  

From 2010 - 10

We decided it was time to get him a pedal bike and see if he could ride it WITHOUT training wheels.  Well he did AWESOME... He needs a little help getting started but once he gets started he can ride forever.  I think by this weekend he will be able to it all on his own.

1st day riding a pedal bike!  Grady is only 3.5 years old and can ride a bike without training wheels.  We are really proud of him.  

October Cookbook Club

This month's Cookbook Club was a Paul Deen cookbook.  The recipe was Chicken and Rice Casserole.  

I was a little worried about some of the ingredients, because I do not like the taste of CANNED green beans and I was not sure what pimentos were.  But I googled pimentos and found out they are just large chili peppers and figured I could use fresh or frozen green beans.

It was a REALLY easy recipe to make.  I could not find green beans at the produce stand so got frozen green beans.  The recipe called for two 14oz cans I just measured out four cups of frozen greens heated them up then mixed them with everything else.  

Keith, Reece and I all really liked the casserole.  But Grady has become very picky since he turned 3 so he did not eat it.  But we will be having this again so hopefully Grady will try it next time :) 

Reece Patrick is 11 months old!

Reece STILL only has two teeth.  He had his 1st donut at our 1st Garage Sale this month.

He is loves to play outside every time we go outside the crawls down the driveway to play in the street.

   

Reece stacked his 1st block together on Oct 12.  He also got his 1st haircut on Oct 15.  He loves to talk and read books.  He said Grady for the 1st time the other day (it sounded pretty close and he was looking at Grady).  

We are getting ready for his 1st Birthday!  I can not believe a Reece will be 1 years old next month this year has flown by.  

Grady's 11month update!!

September Cookbook Club

My sister started the Cookbook Club so every month one person picks a cookbook and recipe from that cookbook.  We all try it and post about it.  


This month was a Rachael Ray cookbook and the recipe was Mega Meat Stuffed Shells.  


It was really easy to make and we loved them.  I loved the nutmeg flavor in the meat.  I did not like the sauce I think I will just use a jar of marinara next time.  


Ok and one more thing this recipe is in the chapter for 2 people... I am not sure how much Rachel Ray eats but this fed my family of 4 and we had leftovers.  Also the recipe calls for ONLY 8 jumbo pasta shells, I am not sure how RR fits all that meat in 8 shells maybe she buys enormous pasta shells (I used about 12 shells and they were packed).
