A Name For Baby Boy 2


Okay, so I think I am satisfied with the new blog title for now. Thank you for your inputs.  Now, who wants to help think of a name for this boy #2?  We kinda like the names Talon, Riley, Caleb, Landon, & Ian. But, I just can't be sold on any of these.... any ideas?

Pay It Forward.

This is an idea from my sister in law. She is sooooooo creative & will try to be as well: The first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive a hand made gift from me during the year. When & what will be a surprise. There's a small catch though:

You must post the same thing on your own blog & then come back to my blog telling me you are in.  Remember just the first 3 comments. This will be really fun!!!!! :) :) 

For those "who" win my hand made gift.....

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!

2. What I will create will be just for you.

3. It'll be done this year. (might be a little while)

4. You have no clue what it's going to be (I don't either)

5.  You are not allowed to judge me for my lack of "handmade" skills!!!!!!!!!  Post wisely :)

Here is Gavin and Emma at the Ranch. First, they looked for the horses and then fed them apples and carrots. Boy o Boy do they love apples and carrots. After the horses were finished scaring Emma because of their size and the fact that they wanted to smell her. This is what really freaked her out. The kids decided that they wanted to toss some rocks into Buena Creek. It was allot of fun for the kids and for me as well.  Melanie was home relaxing and enjoying the house without others making noise. Andrew Gorg

Baby News

                                       It's a.... (drumroll please)



BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited. We have a few names picked out but not telling yet. Gavin can hardly contain himself & Emma thinks it's cool that she will be the only princess girl in the house (from her own words she said that) Andy & I are happy that the baby is doing well & that we got to see it & hear the heartbeat.  I have had a few request of tummy pictures so I will have to post some soon. Why you all would be interested is beyond me but not to disappoint my fellow blog readers I will get some out there soon. :)

Words of Emma

On Wednesday Emma's preschool teacher told the class that there would be a new student on Monday. She told the class that the boy's name was Aaron & Emma raised her hand & asked, "Is he handsome"?  Her teacher told me this today & another mom was standing next to me & says "Why, if he's ugly was she not going to come"? Don't ask me where she comes up with this stuff. She is so funny. She keeps me on my toes. When I picked her up today from school I asked her if Aaron was handsome & she said, "Oh yes mom, but he's kinda short." She sure keeps us laughing.

And now for a yummy Monday night recipe:   Magic Cookie Bar (it's easy)

1/2 cup melted margarine

1 1/2 cup  graham cracker crumbs

1 cup of chopped nuts (I use walnuts) 

1 cup chocolate chips

1 1/2 cup flaked coconut

1 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk

Pour melted butter into bottom of a 9x13 pan. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over. Sprinkle nuts evenly over crumbs. Scatter choc. chips over nuts. Sprinkle coconut over choc. chips  & pour the milk evenly over coconut. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes (do not over bake; does not taste good.) Cool in pan for 15 min. Cut into bars & gobble up :)
