Yum

I don't very often get the bug to cook after a long day but today I did.  I made some yummy chicken, with a hot spicy sauce and we had it over rice.  My mouth is still burning. It was good.  I also made these yummy muffins from a facebook recipe. They actually look kind of like they are supposed to and hopefully taste good.  My house smells like cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar and sweet spicy sauce.  I like this Monday.

Both Hands at the same time? - Thats how we do it!

On May 28th Kyle went in and had carpel tunnel surgery.  He had both of his hands done at the same time. Some people thought he was crazy... I mean how was he going to ... well.. you know. We both decided it might be a little uncomfortable for a day or two but was going to be worth it because of time saving, recovery time and time off work.  Also I didn't think he would get the other one  done once he had one done.  But it really did all work out for the best. It's amazing how small the incisiions were for his surgery. However I am a much better patient than I am a nurse.  The first day he was home I forgot he was in the bathroom and since he couldn't open the door he was stranded (oops). I got better at it and he is fine now. He was off work 54 days by the time we went on vacation, surgery and recovery. He almost got used to it.

Another great Sunday dinner

Sunday dinners are so different now.  We feel a little awkward without our Illinois family with us here.  I feel so blessed to have had so many really great Sunday dinners together. I think we have a closer family because we have spent time sitting around the dinner table together.  We have a lot of fun with each other and get to share good memories and what is going on in our lives. I know we will get used to not having the whole family each time but it will never feel complete unless they are all with us.  I am so thankful for my family.  I love you guys so much!

Fun.

 Just talked to someone from back in the day. Love that she was just as sweet as she used to be. Made my night!

Now that's worn out.

The Bottoms

We had a fun trip to the bottoms today. We took the dogs to run for awhile. There is something about that place! I feel very close to Grandpa Gibson out there. I love to watch all the birds and listen to them. They sound super happy too.  There is a feeling of peace and beauty when I am there.

Avery and Gus love running and smelling everything. Bronson is less than thrilled about it and ends up walking really slow until we pick him up.  

Wow! Where the Heck have I been!

It really has been forever this time. I will make the attempt to catch people up on my life.  In a nut shell... life is crazy!  But I love my life and My Family!
