Say Cheese!

Fischer has really started talking a lot these days.  I think he was slightly delayed because he would point and mommy would give him what he wanted! 

His first words were the normal ones - mama, daddy, bye-bye...   After those he surprised us with "Outside!"  The baby LOVES to be outside - hot, cold, rainy, snowing... It does not matter! 

Wednesday, my mom was getting Fischer out of the car to go to school and she was having a hard time.  She got frustrated and said "Oh Jesus" and Fischer immediately repeated and said "Oh de-zus."  He's absorbing everything! 

I caught him on video last night talking, which does not happen often! Notice - he's not very interested in me at all!  Take a look!  :)

Baby Back Ribs - Crock Pot Style

Ingredients

1 slab of ribs
Juice (I usually use apple, but any would work)
1 Medium onion - sliced
Barbecue Sauce (Sweet Baby Rays is my favorite)
Brown Sugar

Pour an inch of juice in crock pot. Cut the ribs in half and place in crock pot. Scatter onion over the ribs. Set crock pot on low and cook for 4-6 hrs. (My crock pot cooks fast, so it usually only takes 4 hours) Once the ribs are cooked fully, take them out of the crock pot and place on cookie sheet.  Mix brown sugar and barbecue sauce and spread on ribs.  Place ribs in oven and bake on 350 degrees for 10 minutes. 

Very easy and SO tasty!

Crazy week!  I can't wait until I can write something that is actually exciting!  Monday was a "snow day" for Moultrie Tech, so I stayed home all bundled up.  My mom has been sick and hasn't seen Fischer in over two weeks, so she came and got him for the day.  While he was at her house he got sick.  We had to take him to the doctor and the poor baby has an ear infection.  The BEST news about our visit to the doctor is that they actually take our insurance!!  After almost two years, they take Aetna again! 

Meanwhile, while at the doctors office, I decided to pick up something I did not want - a stomach virus!!!!  So, I was out of work on Tuesday, too!!  Wednesday I felt great, but CJ decided he wanted the funk, too. So, we have had a week of sickness... Thank God it's Friday! 

As for the weekend - we don't have much planned.  Tonight we are going to eat baby back ribs! I have the best crockpot recipe for ribs.  I will post it in case anyone would like to try it!   Tomorrow we have Milly's birthday party.  I cannot believe she's 2!  Sunday we will go to church and CJ will work on homework! 

Hopefully next week I will not have a sickness to talk about!! 

Focused on Curious George

On the way to Aunt LeAnne's... 

Where do I start?

This has been a CRAZY week... 

Tuesday (which was my Monday) started off wild because we had Late Registration for students who are attending MTC this quarter.  Our new Financial Aid Technician started that day, and because it was so crazy, she did not shadow the other Financial Aid Tech - she followed me.  I assist Financial Aid when needed, but I sure do not need to be training anyone.  Meanwhile, every student who came into my office said "Your eyes are red!"...  Which leads us to Tuesday...

Wednesday I woke up with pink eye! Yay!  The last time I went to the doctor was in March of 2008 (other than having a baby!) and guess what I had then... Pink eye!  So, Wednesday I played hooky and spent the day at home. 

On Wednesday while I was at home, Fischer and I were sitting on the sofa and I got him to say I Love You!   It sounded a little more like "I wub boo". It melted my heart! 

As for this weekend, it's going to be very laid back - thankfully!  CJ's mom (Gigi) is coming to town and we are going to dinner.  Tomorrow night we are eating dinner at home with some friends.  Sunday we are going to church! :)
