Not a real foodie, but...

Ok, so I am not a real foodie, but I do love good food and to feed my family good food. Now that I am in my 14th week of pregnancy and my appetite has returned, I planned a big feast for dinner last night!  

Here is the menu:

Lou Malnati's Deep Dish Chicago Style Pizza

Cobb Salad

Strawberry Frozen Yogurt

Oh my word, it was amazing!  It all tasted good even after smelling and preparing it.  Totally, worth the time and effort.  Also, I got to use all my momma's and grandma's cast iron skillet that have been given to me.  Such a simple gift, but makes my heart happy.  Also, the pizzas were stuffed full of veggies (spinach, mushrooms, onions as toppings/ in the homemade sauce: onions, carrots & tomatoes).  This also makes my heart happy when we are getting all our veggies!  

Here are a few pics, Enjoy! 

A morning with Daddy!

Here is what Daddy and Ella did on a morning while letting Mommy sleep in!  She wanted all her bows in her hair; so Daddy put them in!  Note: Daddy's amazing photography skills and the homemade paper rose he made in Ella's hand! 

Love them both so much!  Oh the beautiful simple gifts in life!  This is one of them for sure.  Thank you Lord, you are so good to me! 

Our Fifth Wedding Anniversary outings...

We are so romantic.  Okay so maybe we aren't, but we do have fun!  For our fifth anniversary, the sun was shining, and we love to get outside on the beautiful days.  so, as a family, we headed out to a local park called Gibsons Pond with our canoe for a family outing.  It was Ella's first canoe ride, and it was a total success!  Here are a few pics from the day:

Swinging before our canoe ride and feeding the ducks some goldfish!

Very Friendly ducks!

Ella was scared at first but quickly calmed down and started to enjoy the "boat" as she called it!

Out on the open water!  Ella learned about some new animals and their sounds, ie: geese 'honk honk" & roosters "cock-a-doodle-doodle-do".  pronounced by Ella as doodle-do! 

Getting very adventourous on the swings!

We ended the day by going to see the Kings Speech finally!  This was our third attempt, and we finnally made it!  Also, we went out to dinner. Our dear friend Miss Linda Barnhill kept Ella for us for the evening! 

All dressed up for dinner, 13 weeks preggo....not the best picture of me, but it is the only one we have!
