Faster than the speed of ....?

These are certainly not Ezra's "First Steps", but a few wobbly efforts at RUNNING! He does not want to just walk...he has to try to keep up with everyone else in the family. When this guy hits the ground, he is running! He will run and wobble towards whatever his eye is on, and when he falls he scrambles over on all fours...no going slow for the EZ. Too much to see, so little time (evidently). We love our little ambitious Ezra! He just wants to be a big kid like everyone else...but I say, no growing up too fast!

Can you Guess?

Shrimp Anyone?

Well, a couple of posts back I was showing you the disgusting boxes of shrimp that I had NO idea what to do with...I was ready to chuck them and call it good. However, knowing how pricey and delicious shrimp are, I decided to check it out online and see what I could do with them...and how much my stomache could handle in the cleaning process. Troy said he'd be happy to help clean them if we wanted him to. I took him up on it. Long story short (and about 90m minuites later) these creepy crawly sea creatures went from NASTY, to This: a delicious BBQ shrimp FEAST! It was so good! Thanks Ali and Troy for helping out with this new food adventure. I know I learned alot! and, yes, I WOULD do it again! To see the "process", click here!

A Favorite!

Just a little blurb about one of my absolute favorite cleaning products...this stuff gets everything out your carpet and rugs! (We just discovered it's great for blood stains as well :) ).
I have a supply of this stuff on hand at all times...stock up when it goes on sale. It was especially useful when the kids were potty training. hee hee. Now, with 3 big kids in and out of the house, and Ezra's not-so-spill-proof sippy cups, this stuff is a life saver! love it!
