Logan gets his cast off! Logan, 23 months old, has a cast and he gets it off in 4 days! Praise the Lord!
Logan and I fell on the ice while we were visiting Dave's family in Connecticut. He ended up cracking a bone is his leg and has had a cast for four weeks. I have never really thought about what it would be like to have a toddler in a cast before now. Logan does not seem to be in pain and is doing well with the cast. He has learned to catapult off it and he goes where he wants to very fast!
I think one thing that was God is teaching me is to slow down.
Logan can walk on his cast but he can't take a bath (he does not care for his sponge baths) :) and he has a little trouble sleeping. The good side of a cast is that he needs more cuddles and love, which I have enjoyed giving him.
It only took me one time to realize that when a child in diapers has a cast, any poopy diapers must be changed instantly. Because waiting five minutes to change the diaper can lead a mom to invent a coat hanger/ wipey contraption to dig the poop out (yes, of his cast!).
I dearly hope you weren't eating while reading this!
So that my friends is why, you may hear me rejoicing on Tuesday morning at 10 am when Logan gets his cast off!

Looking Back for Fun!
Carleigh and I got the kids together this morning. We decided to look at old pictures and threw this together.
Old Picture Details:
1) Carleigh and I dressed up in costumes for Sadie Hawkins. She is the girl from Austin Powers and I am a Barbie Cheerleader.
2)Carleigh and I are at a wedding.
3) Carleigh, myself, Kristi, Candace and Audrea are taking a break from playing Laser Tag.
4) Kasey, Carleigh and I at Texas Roadhouse (a long time ago) on my 21st birthday.
5) Audrea, Makiyo and Carleigh in their dorm room playing Nintendo.
Carleigh and I both joined 24 Hour Fitness and are using these pics to motivate us to work out more!

Our New Organic Smoothie Recipe
Landon and I have created a Smoothie Recipe and I wanted to share!
1/2 a large container Plain Yogurt
1/2 of a container of Strawberries
2 Bananas
Organic Apple Juice (to make it naturally sweet)
Ice
Mix them all together in a mixer except for the ice (add ice and mix again).
Another version for a more ice cream feel
1/2 a large container of Plain Yogurt
1/3 a bag of frozen Strawberries (unsweetened)
1/8 a bag of frozen blueberries (unsweetened)
Organic Apple Juice
You don't need ice because the berries are frozen!
Mix together!
We found a Vita Mixer at an estate sale for $10 and ordered a new top for it for $10. Saving us around $170! We love our Vita Mixer!

I am Taking A NEW YEARS CHALLEGE!
I am taking on a New Years Challenge to cook and eat at home for an entire month.
I've made it so far for three whole days! :) I have made Smoothies, Stew, Pasta and all kinds of dishes to keep me from wanting to spend money on food outside the house. I went grocery shopping last week and came home with the motherload of bargain groceries. My total was $175 and went down to $32 after coupons. I even got tons of Organic items.
Landon is starting to beg for a Sonic burrito so I am not sure if he is going to make it! I can get Sonic burritos with coupons for less than $1 so I hardly ever turn Landon down when he asks to go.
My deep question for the day is why is it so hard for me not to eat out? Let me explore that thought. Hubs grew up in the country and hardly ever ate out. I grew up in the city and ate out quite often. Well that explains it! I am spoiled to eating out.
Needless to say hubs is very excited about this challenge. I am up for it because I want to see how much money it will save us! I am even avoiding Starbucks (but I did buy those bottled Starbucks at the grocery store.) They'll have to do for $1.25 each!
