Bread Bowls

I'm having some friends over tomorrow to carve pumpkins and eat soup out of bread bowls. I thought what the heck I am going to attempt to make "Home made" Bread bowls. Well they didn't turn out so well, they came out to be 1/2 the size of a regular bread bowl and kinda went flat after going in the oven. So I am going to go to Costco today and buy Rhodes Rolls and make them from them. Semi-home made :) better then nothing.

BLAH!

Mr. Clean Mr. Clean

So I am probably going to be blogging about a lot of random things for a while. Allie's doctor said she can't leave the house for 2 months or even more when winter finally hits. So while Dave flies Sunday through Wednesday I am stuck inside my house trying to think what can I do productive while home. Don't get me wrong I absolutly love being home with Dexton and Allie, but I'm just not used to being home ALL DAY LONG. I'm not going to lie either when I say I LOVE TO WORK. Do I love working at Chilis being a server, NO, but Chilis has treated me well and I love the interaction I get with people. All you stay at home moms know what I mean when I say it seems like the only communication I am getting right now is with Dexton and Allie. I really really need a GNO!!! Or an ANO aka ADULTS night out lol.

But anyways back to the reason of this blog...I have discovered something amazing, something that has SERIOUSLY changed my life, what is it you ask Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. I bet most of you if not all of you have already discovered this wonderful product but not me. I have been on my hands and knees for years scrubbing and scrubbing my tubs till my arms are killing me. I still never could get the bath tub as clean as I would like it...till now! I didn't even have to scrub hard, it just magically disappeares with the touch of the eraser! So if you have never used one of these go out today and buy yourself one.

Happy Cleaning! Alisha

p.s. If you know a way to clean mirrors without it making smears please share. I use Windex and paper towels and always have smears on my mirrors.

Welcome to this world Allie!

My sister Jenny, McKenzie, and my mom

Dave's mom

Dexton has been so good with Allie. He just loves her so much. So far he hasn't tried to hurt her. He likes to hold her and kiss her. He is such a good big brother. We're so lucky to have such sweet kids!

Dave didn't hold Allie till she was 3 or 4 days old. He hated all the cords and didn't want to hurt her. It's so funny how different he is already with Allie and Dexton. With Allie he is way more protective. She is his little princess.

8 days in the NICU, finally going home, but not before the car seat check.

Look how small she is laying next to Dave. They grow up so fast :(

Dr. Dexton

So at the hospital Angie was a little sick so we made her wear this mask when she went to see Allie. Well Dexton wanted to wear one too and decided he was a doctor. Angie bought him a doctors kit and pretended to be Angie's doctor. So guess what he wants to be for Halloween...yup you guessed it a DOCTOR!

Baby Shower

My awesome friends/twin sister/mom threw me a wonderful baby shower for Allie. They went above and beyond. It almost got canceled because of Allie, not knowing when she was going to be born. But she was born on Tuesday and the shower was on for Saturday.
I love Asian ideas! My house is decorated in Asian decor and I just recently decorated Allie's bed and her half of the room (which I still need to post pics of) in Asian decor. So my friends/family knowing that threw me an Asian themed baby shower. I absolutely loved it! Thank you so much Tava, Brittany, Angie, and mom for doing this for me!!!

These cookies oh my gosh were to die for. Sugar cookies from Flower Girls and Dough Boys located in American Fork. They also made this beautiful Asian inspired cake which also was fabulous!!!

Angie made these cute Thank You favors for everyone. They were a small asian take out box with a chocolate covered fortune cookie inside plus she tied a thank you asian symbol key chain to each box with a baby bottle with baby themed candy hearts. Isn't she so creative!
