Quick.Cheap.Easy meal

So last night I was completely exhausted and really didn't feel like cooking dinner for Cami. So I decided to try something new that was quick and easy. Here is what I put in it, but obviously you can do more or less depending on how much you want to cook. The portions below made enough to fill a medium size storage container. Cami loved it and gobbled it right up which made me happy because she has been Ms.Picky eater lately. Enjoy!

Italian chicken pasta salad:
2 Cans of canned chunked chicken
1/2 box of Barilla Rotini pasta
Italian Seasoning
Garlic Pepper Seasoning
Italian Dressing
Peas (or any other veggie you want to add)

Surrounded by prayer

So to be honest, today was the day I had dreaded for the past 4 months.... leaving my babies and going back to work. Last time I went back to work after having Cami I had horrible anxiety and it was not an easy transition at all for me.  But thanks to my friends and family, your prayers surrounded me and gave me a great sense of peace this time and felt arms wrapped around me today. I don't think I could of made it through without all the prayers and support of family and friends. So, I say all this to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

On another note.... the kids did great today! Knowing they are safe in the arms of someone we trust and love to death, it brings us great comfort. Thank you Susan for loving our precious angels like they are your own! There is also nothing better showing up to pick up your kids and them getting so excited to see you. I love my little family :-)

Brayden... our young old man

So anyone who has met Brayden knows about his beautiful hairdo. Well, as cute as our little munchkin was with it we finally shaved it off last night. I will try to post another picture of him from the front side because you can see it does look better. Love this little guy and all his personality. He truly has shown his personality so much more the past couple weeks and we love him to death!



Before



After



Last day in San Diego

Last day in San Diego was bitter sweet. We had a blast and were sad to leave Devin's family, but were very happy to be coming home to our own beds. Lot's of memories were made this trip and can't wait to go back again!

Day 6

We spent another lovely day at the beach. That night John, Marilyn, and Chelsea volunteered to keep the kids and Devin and I got to go on a wonderful date. It was a lot of fun and so thankful we were able to do it!

Cami absolutely loved the ocean

So close to rolling over

9/11

9/11 brings on so many emotions. Not only for what has happened to our world back in 2001, but because my families world changed personally of September 11, 2002. The world lost another amazing woman that day! My grandmother passed away unexpectantly and it made me realize what all those people felt that day just a year before. She was a great woman and we all miss her dearly! Love you grandmother and can't wait to see you again one day.

                                        

Day 5- Sea World Day!

We arrived to Sea World a little early so we decided to go walk around the Mission Beach area a little bit before we headed to the park. After that we were off to a good long day at Sea World. The kids were amazing and we had a lot of fun. I would say the highlight of the day was seeing the Dolphin Show. Cami was absolutely amazed and Brayden just slept through it all. The other shows we saw were Shamu and the Pet show. We also got to see Seals, Sharks (Cami loved this and we had to go back through it again, but Brayden got scared so he didn't go back through :-)), and birds. We also got to do a "Build a Creature" and Cami got a Dolphin. Overall, just a great day and tons of great memories.
