Marching Onward

Image
By
It is pretty clear to me by now that our blog is basically just pictures of our baby, with an occasional plug for a whole-food plant based diet. Pretty much those are the two big things that are somewhat new in our lives, so it makes sense that is all we seem to be talking about! 


Starting to experiment with crawling, then he falls quite often

Very yummy "Mac and No Cheese" dish

A tasty broccoli rice casserole 

Green beans that have changed the way I view the veggie forever

Pineapple sorbet, one of our favorites
Recently we started collecting recipes we enjoy HERE. Check it out, and please let us know if you think any of them were any good! 

Hinckley is almost crawling. He pushes himself up a little, wavers, and then crashes back to the ground. He sort of displays his progress in the video below. 


Kas and I enjoyed the historic LDS women's conference last night. It was inspiring and uplifting for me to watch the broadcast and helped me reflect on the amazing women in my life that have helped me be the person I am today.


Next week is general conference and we are excited about that. Conference time is a special time of year that we cherish quite a bit. We get to spend lots of time together, and reflect on what matters most. There are always important reminders and takeaways.

The big question is this though: instead of cinnamon rolls after Priesthood session, what treat will we eat together?!

Hinckley's Two Month Update

By
I can't believe it has only been two months since Hinckley joined our family! It feels like a lot longer than that and he is growing so big way too fast! At his two month check-up today, he weighed 13 lb 12 oz and was 26 1/4 inches long. Apparently he is so tall that he is off the medical charts for his age. Hinckley is such a happy, easy-going baby. He smiles, laughs, and coos a lot. Having him in our family is so fun because he helps us realize the joy of everything once again. He smiles at bright colors or new sounds, enjoys kisses and cuddling, and squeals in delight at seeing nature when we take walks. Yesterday at church it was like he had a rubber neck; for about five minutes he just kept turning back and forth to take it all in--the sights, sounds, and smells. Today he had to get three shots at the doctor's office and even that didn't phase him for long. Oh he screamed and his face got redder than I have ever seen it. I held him and fed him afterwards and then ...

So begins our stay in DC

By
I will try to keep a fairly good record of our exploits and adventures here in the Nation's capital. It is exciting and I am particularly happy about the amazing opportunities there are for pictures! Our trip began at the bus stop outside of the Barlow Center. I took an exterior shot of the Center - the top 2.5 windows on the right are ours. Once on the bus we went past some of the "Occupy" folk which was interesting. And then we came to our stop just outside of Union Station (where I will also be getting off to work at the FJC). Our first grand site was the Capital. So here we are. Washington DC is very different for both Kass and I, but we are finding a way to call it home as quickly as we can. Our first full day in DC consisted of going to Safeway on the bus, eating a modest lunch, and then going to the the Mall for the second time. We began at the capital building and headed towards the Lincoln Memorial (2 miles) before walking home another 2 miles or so. Our first st...

Dishes

It is that time of day when the house is quiet, the table is half covered in pots, pans, and tuber ware with food scattered across. The car isn’t in the garage and the dog lies sleeping on the blue blanket. The sun lies somewhere back there, behind the cloud over those mountains. It makes some nice gold colors on the rocky face of the mountains outside of the window. I guess it is so nice because at this time of year there is a lot of plants and flowers in the back yard so the gold makes it seem sort of dreamlike. Yeah, I’ll do em I guess. Call it being nice or being bored. Does it matter? Approaching the sink I am nipped by the denting smell. The eggshells, scraps of mango, carrot peel, and chunks of tofu drip in my fingers. Oh yes, the trash is under the sink these days. Drip once, drip twice on the floor. The water in the frying pan trembles, shaking the crusty flakes of burnt egg. Yogurt and peanu...
