Picture Catch Up


Just some pictures from the past two weeks!








...After all, that's what you want to see anyway, right?







Hughes is now walking. Last week I attempted to upload a video of him totting. However, it would not let me upload it! Hopefully, soon I will figure it all out. These pictures will have to do for now.


This is Hughes "helping" me cook Grandmother's Sweet Chicken Salad!

Super Easy and sooooo yummy! 2 Granny Smith Apples!


About cup and half of chopped grapes...I put more because they are my favorite part!




Hughes is so proud of all his hard work!




Mix the apples and grapes together...P.S. while you are chopping your fruits boil 4 split breast of chicken...BONE IN...NO EXCEPTIONS. I promise you it will make ALL the difference in the world...your taste buds will thank you. I can hear you now..."I use boneless and it taste just fine." Yeah, but, why have "just fine" when you can have scrumdiliumptious? Just put forth the extra effort. Just do.




Hughes toils on. He will not be deterred. He will conquer...making the kitchen a COMPLETE disaster....or else he fails. And we don't fail. Toil on, son!






Cut up BONE IN chicken! You can save your homeade chicken stock!
...I say this like I do it. I don't. I pour it out everytime. And everytime I think...when it's halfway down the drain...I could have saved that for homeade chicken stock. Oh well.




"What? Did I do something wrong?"



Mix chicken with apple and grape chunks. You heard me. Chunks. I like it chunky!








Secret to the recipe. Grandmother's canned sweet pickles. You can only get these from Grandmother. Good luck getting your hands on a can. These babies are pure gold. Gold!





Boil 2 eggs and smush. This acts as the binder. For those of you who don't "do" eggs. Feel free to make it without. But, warning, it will not stick together as traditional chicken salad should.





And here is the result. A large bowl full of yummy to your tummy sweet, chunky, chicken salad!







Baby Jackson, Maggie and Seth came to visit this weekend! We enjoyed our visit with them. Please come back very soon!



Mandy had her shower this afternoon. She was surrounded by family and friends who love her dearly. We can't wait to meet her new bundle of joy very soon!









Hope to see you all soon!

Love the kitchen photos! That little Hughes can do some damage quick! Good thing the house sold when it did!

Yeah, big man is walking. Now we have to get Jack on board and that will make our beach trip that much more fun! I cannot wait!

Looks like Hughes needs a sibling to entertain him. While they can still get in as much trouble with two, they do really entertain one another. After my two, I don't see how folks make it without having them in 'pairs' - automatic playmates!
