Smiley Guy

Grayden has been giving us lots of smiles lately....and we are loving every minute of it!

I did it!

(This picture is proof for the disbelievers...)
After 34 years of not eating fish I finally took the plunge the other night for the sake of my children! i got the recipe from my sister and bought all the ingredients days before. All day I was so nervous about making this dinner! Jason has been trying to encourage me to include fish in our children's diet. This has always been a struggle for me because I have a hard time even handling fish. I was glad I finally decided to try it because I loved it! I ate two tacos and had leftovers for lunch the next day. I am going to take my journey into eating fish slowly but I will definitely be making these again. The kids loved them too.

Fish Tacos

1 lb fish (I used mahi mahi)
1/2 t. cumin
1 t. chili powder
1 t. garlic salt
1/2 c. sour cream
1/2 c. mayo
1/2 t. cumin, dill, garlic salt
1 whole lemon, juiced
1 bag coleslaw mix
2 c shredded monterey jack cheese
flour/corn tortillas

Combine cumin, chili powder and garlic salt and rub onto fish. Cook according to pkg directions (I baked mine). Combine sour cream, mayo and spices. Add lemon juice. (I thought the whole lemon was too tart, so I would only do half next time). Layer fish, cheese, coleslaw mix and sauce into tortillas. (We ended up mixing the sauce with the coleslaw to make it easier to layer in the tortilla. This makes a lot of sauce...plenty for leftovers!) Enjoy!

Toothless

Nathan has lost another top tooth! We think he looks adorable and sounds really funny. This time he let his sister pull out his tooth...pretty brave!

Gray-Gray

Gray Gray was not a nickname I had anticipated but that is the name that Luke(y) had chosen for his baby brother. I don't care what he calls him...I call him ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!

As many of you are already aware, Lauren and Nate were featured in an article in The Friend magazine this month. It has been really exciting for them and they have loved all the attention it has brought! They are also featured in a video online (link above) that is adorable. They narrated the video over a year ago and it almost makes me cry listening to their cute voices.

Look what Grayden found!

Grayden got a little impatient while waiting to nurse and found his finger! So cute!
