Remington is 7 months old

Welcome back to the blog!

Well lets start off by saying people always say that kids grow up way to fast and it is so true. Remington is now 7 months old and he can say dada(dad) quite a lot lately he really enjoys hearing himself say it. Remy also can now sit up on his own but he still has a hard time transitioning from army crawling to siting up so if he wants to sit up he needs a little help. He now has one tooth with another one coming in as we speak it is peaking through the gums but not fully out. The foods that he really enjoys lately are sweet potato's, rice cereal, and peas. Remington has been able to hold his bottle on his own since he was about 4 months old and still does it with no problem. We took Remy with us this past weekend to a car show here in St.Louis and he got a lot of awww look at that baby he is sooo cute but the best one was when a random rep at a stand says can I take a picture of your baby for my girlfriend she is baby hungry. It made me laugh and told him good luck on the baby hungry thing because it is hard for a guy to deal with it. One thing that I love about this kid (well i love everything about him) is that when we are feeding him he always is looking for Lexy and when he finds her all he does is smile and squeal at her which makes her ears perk up.

Dan is starting his second semester in his Masters program at SLU and he is really enjoying it. This semester he already likes some of his teachers as well as they have been letting him out about 10 min. earlier which is really nice for me because I can spend more time with him before I leave for work or Remy has to go down for a nap. When he goes down for a nap Dan has to wait for him to wake back up until he see's him again so when he gets home early he always wants to hold him and give him a kiss before putting him down for a nap. I love how much Dan and Remy enjoy each others company they really have a special bond. Dan spends most of his Monday and Friday nights with Remy which I think he really enjoys.

I am doing okay I am working still but I am getting transferred to another site this week because there was an opening as well as it will be a lot closer to our place so it will save on gas and I will be able to bring Remy to my new job! I love this because I wont miss my time with Remy as well as he will be able to socialize with other kids and learn to share even though he might be a little young it will help in the long run. I have started what I hope to be my last semester of my Associates degree online. I am taking a math class right now online but it is really hard a friend of mine is helping me understand some of the material but my teacher is a really hard grader on showing your work which I feel is a little unfair. I have been making a couple more post lately because I am making things off of Pinterest or by request. So if you have a request for me to try out let me know and I will try it out post about it and show my review.

Lexy,she is doing well sleeping all the time as normal. She had a little down fall at one point because she got bladder stones and now she is taking meds to fix it as well as special food. For a while she would go to the bathroom about 5-10 times within a hour where she usually doesn't have to go to the bathroom about every 2-3 hours. But everything the doctor told us to do for her has helped so much so we are hoping that it has worked in the long run and that we will not have to get it surgically removed. Other than that as always Lexy is getting better with Remy little by little everyday.

Sorry this was kind of scatter brained but we have been watching the Office lately (Dan's first time) and we can't stop laughing so I just get lost in what I am typing.

Buzzy B's out!

Crock pot pizza!!!

You read that right I made upon request I have made crock pot pizza! It was pretty amazing it only took a good amount of time but that was my own choice. This recipe talks about using Pillsbury refrigerated dough. Instead of using that kind of dough I went another route and decided to make my own dough from scratch. It is better that way in my own opinion (but then again I have not attempted it the other way either). Another suggestion is that you should poke the dough before cooking it because if you do not then it will create air bubbles (which I learned from working at pizza hut). I would make this recipe only if you wanted a deep dish style pizza and if you are feeding for two depending on the style of crockpot that you have. Whether it is the smaller circle style one (feeds 1-2 people/adults) or the larger oval one (probably feeds more but im not sure how many). I would give this recipe a 5 out of 5 it was really good and it tasted amazing! The two links I am going to post with this is a dough recipe from one link and the crockpot instructions on the other link. Keep in mind that these both come from my pintrest and that I would suggest you follow my pintrest board "things I have made or Tried" because I pin all the stuff that I have personally tried and you can always comment below if I truly did like it or if I changed something in those pins.

Again I do apologize as for some reason the link's do not work on my blog so you will have to copy and paste the links below:

(Crockpot Recipe): http://momonamission.me/crock-pot-deep-dish-pizza/

I do not have a picture of this next quick link but it is amazing! I made these home made brownies and I did add nutella as well as dark chocolate chips to this recipe probably more then they tell you to but who cares on how much you use because according to Dan you can never have enough chocolate chips. Which I know is correct! So below is the link for these amazing brownies as well.

And for everyone else who would just like a quick update on the family, we have started another semester of school it will be my hopefully last semester for my associates degree and Dan's second semester of is masters degree in Health Care Administration. Remington is doing well but is going through a little bit of mommy phase where all he wants is me which I can not complain about but sometimes I need a break and I know Dan wants some close Remy time as well. Lexy is doing well she is being more and more lazy lately and staying in our room most of the day but I think that is because someone is almost always home so she gets a little tired of people being home and wants her own little bit of alone time herself.
