So I finally got a chance to use my bread machine. It was so easy! I made Cinnamon rolls and Garlic Bread. I still think I need to find my favorite recipes but both of these turned out well.
Ok so this whole first trimester thing is really getting to me. I have been more tired and I never seem to have energy. On top of that Isabella has started getting teeth! So its been crazy at my house. I have just got to say I love taco salad night, because it takes 2 seconds to make and tastes yummy! Anyways just a random look at our life.
Stan's aunt Cathy make the yummiest whole wheat rolls, bread, you name it and she is good at making it. I asked her how she does and and says the easiest way is using her bread maching. She said she could teach me but it would be easier if I had one, well we didn't have money to buy a bread machine so I didn't think about it much for a while. Then I got a wheat grinder for Christmas from my mother in law (thank you!!) It made us so excited because now we can acutually use some of the wheat that we have. So Stan and I decided to start looking on Craigs list for one. However that same night Cathy called and asked if I still wanted a Bread Machine. It was perfect timing!! Someone had given her one, but since she already had one she gave it to me. YEAH!! I am so excited to use it. Thanks so much Mom and aunt Cathy!!
So it's a new year and we all know what that means! New Year goals. Stanley and I have decided to exercise together each weekday. I love it because I always try to get him to go with me, but he is usually so busy, but he decided it would be good to work on getting some pounds off too. So far we have only missed one day, ok I know its only the 12th but you've gotta be excited about the little things. It's also a great time to just talk and be together without text books in the way. :)
We spent New Years Eve at Sarah and Jonathan Nolan's in Thatcher. On New Years Day we went up to Graham Mountain and played in the snow. It was fun to get all dress in our warm clothes and play in the snow. This was Isabella's first time in the snow. She liked it and wanted to be everywhere. Luckily I was able to keep her dry.
This was just a cute picture of Isabella and I. She is starting to smile for the camera. Its so fun! By the way for everyone who has been asking I am do in August.
We went to visit Beth and George in Las Vegas for Christmas. It was a blast. Dan drove with us, thank goodness because it was a long drive. Our little Honda was so packed we didn't even have room to stretch out. On Christmas eve we watched the traditional move It's a Wonderful Life, while we were trying to convince Mom and Dad to let us open at least one gift. They finally broke down and let us open a gift. Isabella got to open the first one. Beth got her the cutest rocking pony so that she could start loving horses at a young age just like Stan. Isabella loves it!!
So we got our first realy family pictures taken. Its so fun to have a family of our own. Isn't Isabella getting so big. Thanks Jo for the wonderful pictures. If anyone is looking to get pictures done check out photographybyjo.com . She is great!
