Start Again?

Maybe I'll start up again...should I? A lot has changed with these two cuties going full speed! 

Time For a Fit...

I'm taking a break from blogging.  I love the diary-like stability of sharing our life in pictures, but we are in a new and exciting stage of life: Stuart finished grad school!!! For the first time since Corgan was born and for the first time in our new house, the thought of grad school is no longer part of our life.  For the next month, I'm going to enjoy my family, and my hubby, and not worry about having to tick out a daily blog.  I will be back with a vengeance later in September!

Foodie Tuesday: Pulled Pork Sandwich Pizza

A few Fridays ago, I posted a recipe for Crock-Pot Pulled Pork Sandwiches.  When we made it, we made extra to freeze for later.  Now is later, so here we go...

Pulled Pork Sandwich Pizza

Leftover Pulled Pork

chopped onion

dill relish

barbeque sauce

Pillsbury pizza dough

mozzarella cheese

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or coat it in butter, then lay out your pizza dough. Using the tines of a fork, pierce the dough a bunch of times so that the crust doesn't puff all up. Pre-bake it at 375 degrees for about 5 minutes (check the directions on the tube), and remove from the oven.

Add all your fixin's (barbeque sauce instead of pizza sauce, mozzarella, onion, and pulled pork).  Don't add the dill relish until after it cooks.

You can see it comes out beautifully!  (We cooked it according to the tube instructions.)

Before you eat it, add some dill relish on top.  This looks a little weird, but trust me, it's soooo good.  We even had leftovers of the leftovers so we took lunches to work.

Stuart's Photo Dump

No, this is not a guest blog from the hubby, and no, this is not a disturbing reference. Stuart blew up my email inbox when he sent me a whole bunch of pictures he had taken on his phone.   I picked a few of the gems to share with you all:

Here is one of Baby Girl when we had first moved into the house.  How tiny?!? Plus, it's way too obvious how big her head is!  When she was born her height and weight were in the 28th percentile, but her head was in the 50th.  She still has a large head in proportion to her body, but look at this head!! (Love her to death though.)

I wanted to post this one to embarrass my mom. In the small thumbnail that was in the email it looked my mom was trying to eat Corgan's head, now that I've uploaded it to my blog, I realize that it is me trying to eat Corgan's head.  Oh, well.  It's still funny.

Here is the real gem, though.  Don't ask.

Corgan's New (Old) Toy

I was going through my photos last night and found these from when my mom got Corgan a new toy.  I had completely forgotten to blog about these so I'm doing that now.

The parents had just returned from their trip to Yosemite, and they brought back a great toy for Corgan.  They bought a set of stacking blocks that had a whole bunch of nature pictures and facts all over them. There are little frogs and butterflies and bugs, and she loves them! Looking at the pictures, though, I can't help but notice how tiny she was.  It was only a couple of months ago, but she was so short and her face was so round.  It's always a treat to go back and check out pictures of my baby child. (Oh, and a cute video follows.)

Broom!!!

I posted a picture the other day on Facebook that had Corgan 'sweeping' my kitchen.  It was cute the first time, but now it's just flipping adorable!!!  First thing she says when she gets downstairs in the morning: "Broom!!!" First thing she says when she is finished with breakfast: "Broom!!!" First thing she says when she gets home from day care: "Broom!!!" First thing she says anytime she sees the pantry door: "Broom!!!"  First thing she says after dinner: "Broom!!!"  Do you get the idea?

BROOM!!!!

Trip to the Container Store

The other day Corgan and I ran some errands and one of them was to The Container Store.  Stuart and I laughingly call this place 'my church.' (His is Best Buy, in case you were wondering.) I had no idea that Corgan would enjoy it as much as I do, but she found a great toy! Who knew that dorm room trash cans could be so fun!

Here is one of my favorite videos of her EVER!!!
