I am so happy to be done with the first trimester! It was so hard being so sick and already having bad lower back pain. Let's just say that I have an amazing husband! He cleaned the house and took care of us all! It feels great to be able to clean and do the projects I have been wanting to do! I love getting in te cleaning mode but then I usually end on doing way too much and my body kills the next day. But we sure love our clean house!
I went to my doctors appointment a week ago and he did a ultr sound to check on things and everything is great! And of course he couldn't see what the sex of the baby was! Dang it! Lol. Buy he did say well just come back in 2 or 3 weeks and I will do a quick ultra sound to see what it is! Yay! I was so excited because it was either wait till 20 weeks or go early to the fetal photo. Now I can just wait till I'm 16 weeks for the next appointment! I sure hope te baby cooperates! I will let you all know what it is!The Atkinson Family Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14820068953203105067noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403382358293251226.post-43352261320084467432011-12-29T09:23:00.001-07:002011-12-29T09:23:49.341-07:00Funny AndrewSo, the other day I had the flu and was not feeling well at all. I looked to Andrew and he said mom, are you not feeling good? I said no im not. I feel sick. When you say your prayers will you pray for me to get better?" he says " ya, and get the oil out off the keys and give you a blessing"? I just laughed and said " yes. You can do that when you get older"! He was all excited!
I love the things he says sometimes!The Atkinson Family Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14820068953203105067noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403382358293251226.post-49226659847741712572011-12-20T22:33:00.001-07:002011-12-20T22:33:39.004-07:00We are expecting!!So, we found out that we are expecting a new little one in August!

(I think he wants to be lazy and always wants me to wipe it). So I told him to stay there until he wiped his bum. Then I couldn't hear him anymore and this is what I found!! I was laughing so hard! He woke up saying he couldn't feel his legs! <br />
I am so grateful for the laughter and joy he brings to our family!!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7j2tgpCjpLGhGDn73ydup27K3yZ8E1krC49aAAmzzI6DaK4XDYgZXU33XeRKC69w3sBVMH4K32_UROd1hFc3sJ_4NsL6uQff9-ijgrkapskCAvxgRrCt5cuY-5ozbfbfMPkyzfrGQ7llN/s640/blogger-image--538043370.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7j2tgpCjpLGhGDn73ydup27K3yZ8E1krC49aAAmzzI6DaK4XDYgZXU33XeRKC69w3sBVMH4K32_UROd1hFc3sJ_4NsL6uQff9-ijgrkapskCAvxgRrCt5cuY-5ozbfbfMPkyzfrGQ7llN/s640/blogger-image--538043370.jpg" /></a></div>The Atkinson Family Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14820068953203105067noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403382358293251226.post-91062821816235816912011-11-16T23:25:00.001-07:002011-11-16T23:25:28.796-07:00We have moved!!We moved from American fork to Lehi about a 3 weeks ago! But I'm sure you would like to hear the real story right? Well, it all started after we put our townhome up for sale. After we went under contract our upstairs toilet decided to leak all night long. So we woke up to our upstairs bathroom, hallway and bedroom under 2 inches of water! Then we went downstairs and it had leaked thru to the family room! We called our insurance company and they sent out a restoration company ASAP. We then found out we needed new carpet in the whole house except for one room. So we got a storage pod and had to put all of our furniture in it while they ripped up carpet and had heaters and fans on. It was 108 degrees in our house. Just so they could get it dry. It was soo hot!!!! Luckily we were staying at a hotel in Lehi. But the bad thing was we stayed in the hotel for three weeks!!! Way too long for the kids and we had to eat out almost every meal. It was so hard! We did have maids to clean our rooms! That was a nice break for me! Lol! But I was craving to cook home made meals! It was driving me crazy. <br />
After the second week of staying there we found a house in Lehi that we could move to anyways. Since we were selling our home. So the third week we slowly moved out of the hotel and the townhome and into our new house!! We finalized on our townhome a couple of weeks ago! It feels so nice to have that place sold and we can move on! We love the room that we have and our garage is a plus!! I will post pictures later! <br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The bank told me that someone in New Jersey got a hold of my card number and used it at Walmart and Target!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I was shocked and just kind of didn't know what to say! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">She explained a little more to me and said we would have to cancel everything and get me a new account number and new cards. Then she asked me if I had any questions....I just sat there drawing a blank and couldn't think of anything to say. She "just said oh well okay then..let me know if you have any questions." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So, today I had to go into my bank and fill out some forms so they would reimburse me. I am so grateful that my bank knows what they are doing and staying on top of things! I from now on will not use my card as debit and do not want to buy anything online. A similar thing happened to my brother last week. America Express called him asking if he had approved of a purchase in another state the amount of $1,200. And another of $1,500. He said no and so they were actually able to catch that person. That person apparently made a card when he got his number. So he could use it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Everyone....please be careful when using your card for ANYTHING! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">There are really crazy and stupid people out there! </span>The Atkinson Family Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14820068953203105067noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403382358293251226.post-76625717578322527822011-08-17T16:14:00.000-06:002011-08-17T16:14:05.227-06:00Family pictures July 2011!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiARkLW7r8z9VdQv9JWmTYJNG1tK27SUeHZwB3Mq5u7-BkLcuHS5Zw56rqI9ACHng40w-_gdBgSMV888Vq2n4GABdjhaYUlpPw8KQC83tsSpZrsA5S4N8hpljt3vqav7Y_Vywak3DpwcsBY/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiARkLW7r8z9VdQv9JWmTYJNG1tK27SUeHZwB3Mq5u7-BkLcuHS5Zw56rqI9ACHng40w-_gdBgSMV888Vq2n4GABdjhaYUlpPw8KQC83tsSpZrsA5S4N8hpljt3vqav7Y_Vywak3DpwcsBY/s320/4.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br />

So exciting!<br />
This is my fourth diaper cake I have made so far. I will find pictures of the other two I have made.<br />
I learned with this diaper cake that I love the receiving blankets around each layer to hide the diapers more. I also have a blanket that is on the bottom taped around a light weight pizza pan.<br />
I LOVE making diaper cakes! Can't you tell? I think they are so much fun!

No, it's not AS brown as we all pictured it being but it's still cute right? I like it but I haven't decided if I LOVE it yet. I already miss my blond. I now am having to decide...do i put more brown in it to make it a darker brown? Do I just put blond back in? Or Do I do the darker brown but do way more blond on top?<br />
<br />
Ya....I don't know what i'm going to do. I feel like the color I have right now is a in between color. I think that's why I don't love it.<br />

Oh how I love the exploring he is doing right now. He isn't crawling yet but should be soon. He sits there and then leans forward and then falls onto his stomach. Then rolls over to his back and gets stuck.<br />
He LOVES Andrew so much. Anytime Andrew laughs he laughs and loves to copy him. Isaac is such a good hugger. This last week he started this new growling thing in the back of his throat. I have no idea on why he does it but it's so funny.<br />
He also almost has his 2 bottom teeth in! They have been trying to break through for a month now poor kid!<br />
One thing he does that I think is so funny is bonks. If you are holding him and say bonks he leans his head forward to bonk your head. He thinks its so funny.<br />
I took him to his 9 month check up today and he did so well when he got some shots. He cried for about a minute and was done. When they had to do a little poke in his toe to check for iron...ya he just sat there and stared at the nurse. Didn't even cry at all. I was so surprised. He did so well today!<br />
He weighed 18 pounds.<br />
He is about 18 percentile for weight and height right now. But the doc said that's normal around this age. <br />
He is doing really well with the whole weening thing. The doc said I can give him milk. So, I am giving him Almond milk and regular milk and only nursing a couple times a day. Plus he loves food. So he is always eating all day long. I hope it will continue to go smoothly. I love my Isaac so much! He is such a light and joy to our family! He loves to smile at everyone and just giggle at everything. <br />
I love my two boys!The Atkinson Family Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14820068953203105067noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403382358293251226.post-6961642714272060762010-12-09T16:56:00.000-07:002010-12-09T16:56:07.244-07:00Recipe 3 & 4<b><u>Crock Pot Chicken</u></b><br />
<br />
1lb. chicken breast<br />
8oz. cream cheese<br />
3Tbs. butter<br />
4Tbs. dry onion<br />
1 can cream of chicken soup<br />
1 pkg. dry Italian dressing mix<br />
1 bag egg noodles, cooked<br />
The recipe didn't say how much milk to add so I just guessed. <br />
<br />
Salt and pepper chicken and place in crock pot. Add remaining ingredients, except the milk, and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Add milk with 30 minutes remaining. Shred chicken and mix together. Serve over noodles or rice. We had this over rice! It was amazing!<br />
<br />
<b><u>Chicken Ranch Tetrazzini</u></b><br />
<br />
8 ounces uncooked spaghetti<br />
2 cups shredded or cubed cooked chicken<br />
1 cup chicken broth<br />
1 cup Hidden Valley Ranch dressing<br />
1 jar (41/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained<br />
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese<br />
2 Tbs. dry bread crumbs<br />
<br />
Cook spaghetti according to package. Drain and combine with chicken, broth, dressing & mushrooms in a large mixing bowl. Place mixture in a 2-quart casserole. Mix together cheese and bread crumbs; sprinkle over spaghetti mixture. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until casserole is hot and bubbly.<br />
<br />
We don't like mushrooms so I added corn instead. This actually called for ceasar dressing if you wanted to use that instead of ranch.The Atkinson Family Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14820068953203105067noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403382358293251226.post-46363658900667241612010-12-01T14:09:00.000-07:002010-12-01T14:09:40.442-07:00Cruise VS Nursing<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In January we are going on this.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5bsK9mRvYQZe4OnUEtvr3aFdDMXN1VgWLKe5C07vQvLnCYdweacEM9yLiWKOEzAoHptKIsoeE-C2G8FSwXLk-gjypURZQoWk3yRNHrJLuatF5GMWkdk1BIKkSyaAl4KdtFhbFNFfaFSY9/s1600/Cruise+ship.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5bsK9mRvYQZe4OnUEtvr3aFdDMXN1VgWLKe5C07vQvLnCYdweacEM9yLiWKOEzAoHptKIsoeE-C2G8FSwXLk-gjypURZQoWk3yRNHrJLuatF5GMWkdk1BIKkSyaAl4KdtFhbFNFfaFSY9/s1600/Cruise+ship.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I have to stop nursing Isaac with in the next month! I am really having a hard time thinking that pretty soon I won't be nursing him anymore. I don't mind nursing. I love the bond that I get with him. See with Andrew it was easy....he just stopped at 10 months. He didn't care for it anymore. In a way I wish that Isaac would do the same. Today I started giving him a bottle of almond milk instead of nursing before his nap. I was surprised at how well he did with taking the bottle. The one thing I worry about the most is night times. He still wakes up at least once if not twice a night to nurse to go back to sleep. I know he shouldn't be doing this still but I don't mind it and it's fast and easy. That will be the hardest thing to do is to not nurse at nights. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am so nervous to leave my baby and 2 year old for 8 days! That's normal right? I know they will be well taking care of. They love their grandparents. But Andrew will know that we are leaving. He understands a little better as to whats going on. I just know I am going to be crying when we leave them! I know the time will go by fast and it will be so nice to not have kids so we can do what we want to. But it will be so hard for me. Maybe when I stop nursing Isaac in the next while it won't be AS hard for me to leave him?. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I think about us leaving my stomach starts to turn and i feel all nervous. I know Heavenly Father will watch over us and them that we will be safe and will make it home okay.

My husband is so tired of Taco salad and taco soup and Alfredo with noodles. So, I decided a while ago to make a post about it. I am going to find one new meal to make each week for a month. I could do at least 2 meals a week but I don't want to pressure myself too much. I will then post the recipe on here and tell you how it went each week. I challenge any of you to try this out for you and your family. I know the first meal I found and made my family LOVED it! I am already behind on posting this because I found my first recipe two weeks ago. <br />
<br />
So.......WEEK # 1......<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Stir together to make a thick white sauce. Then add:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">11/2 tsp. chili powder ( I use only 1 tsp. because I don't like it too spicy.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tsp. ground cumin</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">WEEK # 2</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed( i used canned chicken)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cook pasta til done. While pasta is cooking simmer everything else in a large pan until well combined. Add pasta when it's done and bake in a 13x9 casserole dish at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Add the cheese when it's done or if you like it melted put it on a few minutes before is is done in the oven. Scrumdiddly!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />

We were in his room and his window was open. He could hear some sirens from a fire truck and he stops and I said oh the fire truck is going to help people who might have a owie. He repeated the exact thing I said. I said uh huh. Cool huh? He said ya. (my brother in law Rob is a firefighter and I said ya, Rob goes and helps people too. He said oh when they have owie's? I said yup. And Heavenly Father watches over them and helps them too. He said Heavenly Father has owie's? I just laughed and said no......Heavenly Father helps them. He kept repeating and asking questions about it for the next 30 minutes. He was so into the whole thing. It was the cutest thing ever! Andrew is growing up so fast and is learning so much everyday!<br />
When he was a baby I used to try and imagine what it would be like when he could have conversations with me and well......here it starts! I LOVE it! I do. Sometimes I just want him to be quiet for just one minute but most of all...I love it. It's so fun!The Atkinson Family Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14820068953203105067noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403382358293251226.post-39873298561991162592010-10-11T22:21:00.000-06:002010-10-11T22:21:38.457-06:00Fun Stuff!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

He walks in and looked shocked and said" I can't believe what i'm seeing right now". I said "what"? He said I am shocked that Isaac is sitting up so perfectly all by himself on that table at 6 months old"! I was like really isn't that normal? He said " no, most kids this age are still falling over and or wabbely". I was excited he said that! Both my boys have learned how to sit up by themselves at 6 months. I don't know what it is...the bumbo chair maybe? Anyways here are his stats..........<br />
<br />
Weight: 16.31lbs( A little small but still good)<br />
%tile: 20.99<br />
<br />
Head: %tile- 13.88(pretty small head but I rather he have a small head than big)<br />
<br />
Length: 27.5 inches<br />
%tile: 77.95!! ( He is one TALL baby if you ask me) I don't know where he got that from! :)<br />

Even when he is teething or is sick. He is a really happy easy going baby and I am so grateful for that. I love him so very much!

It is so easy!<br />
Preheat oven to 350. <br />
I use frozen Rhodes Rolls and let them thaw out for about 30 min. Depending on how hot the room is.<br />
I combine 2 rolls together to make them bigger. Once when you get them stretched out you then put pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese and whatever else you would like. Then you pinch the sides together. It may not be perfect but try to get as much pinched together you can to keep everything in.<br />
Put in oven for 10 to 15 minutes.<br />
<br />
