A lot different

Written on 12/25/2011 by Dreawood in caleb, COR, Owen, Taite

Yesterday, on Christmas Eve … we went to our church service here in GA… and I must say, WHOA… how different it was… but a good different.

I mean seriously… our church had snow.

INSIDE!

We got there over 30 minutes early, yet still barely got a seat. I heard through the grape vine there were over 8,000 people there… & as you can tell, most wore red ;-)

The boys did well during the hour plus long service. Even little Owen sat through it without any trouble.

We are so thankful for where we are.

Below are a few photos from yesterday as well as some video clips from the service.
(my videos btw do not do things justice!)

Owen before service attempted to scale the stairs :)

He eventually was contained.

The boys waiting for service to start.

This video shows the snow coming down….
Notice the man doing the sign language towards the back right.
For some reason the snow poured right onto him! Was so funny.

The Orchestra (we hear them every sunday!)

The boys cared nothing about taking a picture…

The did however enjoy opening a gift on Christmas Eve.

Who knew Jammies would be so exciting :)

& of course Whole Grain Monkey Bread for a snack & toy joy was fun, at 9:30pm
[thanks Jessie!]

Again, the boys in their cute jams :)

& one last video… Owen Jamming during one of the songs.

Pants on the Ground

Written on 12/22/2011 by Dreawood in Owen

Never knew this guy was from Georgia ;-)

Owen refreshed our memory of this catchy song haha….

Not sure why…

But Owen is just determined to keep his pants off.

& really, if we’d let him, he’d run around naked ALL day.

Happy & Free :-)

See this

Written on 12/20/2011 by Dreawood in caleb, Owen

See this bottle…

I have no clue how ill break him of it!

He is our only baby who has ever been this attached to it…

I blame it on the fact he refused every and all pacifiers… so he found lots of comfort in holding this bottle… he loves it. I mean seriously…. LOVES IT. My only hope would be his blankie, which he also loves…

He also still refuses to take to a sippy. He just doesn’t like them. The only ones he does like are those that aren’t his ;-) – but you get him home and hand him one, no luck. I’ve even tried fancy straw cups and different style sippy cups. Neither one seems to satisfy him. He wants the nipple :)

It is what it is…

Owen…

He has an addiction.

That bottle.

Or maybe its that good raw milk ;-) – That btw is something I have yet to really blog about… I haven’t had the energy to open up a can of worms regarding milk safety. I will say this… its good :) & one day ill go there. Today is not that day.

Oh & one cup that Owen does like, is this one…

To bad it has no lid!

Natural Cake Help

Written on 12/15/2011 by Dreawood in caleb, Owen, Taite

Have I mentioned that Taite on Sunday turns 5?

Crazy huh?

We debated throwing a party for him… just because money is tight… and they tend to stress me out. I knew though that Taite would compare Calebs 7th birthday before moving with his… Calebs 7th happen to be a “farewell” party too in ways… it was a week or so before our big move to GA… so it was a big deal. I didnt want Taite to feel left out.

So since its the #5 birthday :) – I figured we’d do it. Even though I am not expecting epicness HAHA… it will be a sweet gathering with some friends for him.

For his party I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to bake a natural cake.

Chocolate preferably.
I was going to make my friend Lis’ Zucchini cupcakes, which our kids love… but Taite has requested “a real cake” :) – meaning a sheet style cake.

So I am posting here in hopes that someone can help post a natural cake recipe they have tried and tasted ;-) – I am hoping to avoid re-bakes here.

It doesn’t have to be with wheat flour, which is what we use for almost everything now… but I would love that it contain sucanat or honey, instead of white sugar.

Thanks everyone! Oh and icing recipes too ;-) – post those! Id love a creammmmyyy fluffy icing.

You all rock!

Doesn’t Taite seem grown helping with Owen?
He is a great big brother to him.
