Tricia, I have a cookbook called Beautiful Bountiful Oregon. I think it has some recipes you may want though I am not sure. I am getting rid of it since we got it for our house warming in 1996 & we have never used it ( Read more... )

Where is all the updaters? Julie is the only one that doesn't let me down! Though I am not so good at updating either. Yesterday we went to library & Sandra went with us. Riley had a great time having her there. After library we headed to get Ri's haircut at the beauty school. What was I thinking?!? A super bad decision. I sure got what I ( Read more... )

Good luck tonigh! Are you nervous, excited, or? How late do you work tonight? Crap must go Riley just shoved gummy snacks into the place where the soap pump goes in the sink during bath time. Ugh!

Ri wakes up (she is next to me in our bed) demands, "water" so I hand her the sippy cup. Then she pats her Daddy's pillow & says. "Father work". After that she scoots off the bed & tells me, "Mama come". So dutifully I follow her to her Daddy's dresser. First drawer socks which makes her say, "nothing bummer". Then to the underwear drawer ( Read more... )

I'm at Johnstone answering phones which aren't ringing so I thought I would read all of your journals, but nothing new since this morning! Bumma as Matt would say. Riley is at our home with Larry's parent's. I hope she is napping though she seemed more inclined to want to play outside. This weather has been so great just to get a break from the ( Read more... )

Last night was the 3rd night in a row that Riley didn't come into our bed. The first night I can't remember what happened besides the fact that she did wake up & needed to be soothed. The next night she wakes up & Daddy goes in, but she screams & cries till Mommy comes at which time I fall asleep with her for 3 hours then stumble back to my own ( Read more... )

I love stuffed animals, they are cute, cuddly, soft, etc., but enough is enough. So no offense is meant to anyone who reads this who has ever given one to me or my child. I swear they just keep growing in size. We go to bed & they fit in their area though next time they are all out they never fit back. I vow to you all NEVER to purchase you or ( Read more... )
