Comfort

Scene: breakfast table

Occurence: mean mother not letting crying baby get down til brkfst is done

Solution: sister to rescue

Outcome: comfort and joy ( and eventually spoiled youngest child)

I've been tagged by my sister! I am so not good at doing this. It is like a big report due just looming over my head. I was tagged a few weeks ago by my friend Heidi and I still haven't done it so lets just say this one will be for the both. O.K.? Deal!

So here it goes.....................

Here are the rules:Pick the 4th picture folder on your computer.Pick the 4th picture in that folder.Explain what the picture is about.Tag 4 blogging friends to do the same. Let me just admit I didn't follow the rules completely. I just bought a new camera so I have no files yet so I just closed my eyes and pulled out a random CD and here is what I got.

This picture just makes me all emotional. The kids came to the hospital to welcome their new little brother into our family! I remember it so vividly. Cooper was born on March 8th 2007. He was a whopping 9#1 ounce. So in this pic Campbell was 6 and Chloe was 4. What a special day. I just love the look on Chloe's face, just amazed, excited, and already so in love with her little brother. Now that is PRICEless!

So now I tag........Heidi J, my mom, Wendy, Curtis.

So come on guys, don't disappoint me!

O.K. so I have to add another picture just to show you how stinkin cute Cooper was (and still is)

Ohhhhhhhhhhh, I can just smell him and just eat his delicious little cheeks! Boy they grow up so fast. Thanks Hez, it was fun to go through this CD.

Are you ready for some footbaaallll

Just an update. We WON the playoff game on Friday! 34-16 So now we are off to round #2 on Friday night. Thankfully the game isn't near as far as last week. We drove to Athens which is a 2 hour drive. Yes I know, I am a dedicated wife! We love cheering on our Chiefs and our coach!

Chloe fell asleep on my lap for the whole 2nd half of the game.

Congrats DAD!
***************************************************************************************************************************************

This weekend was full of football for the Price family. Well I guess I should say fuller than the normal weekend stuff. Oz was able to get FREE tickets to the Falcons game on Sunday so he and Travis took the older kids along with some of the football players. They had a blast, unfortunately the Falcons lost. What an exciting day for Campbell and Chloe to hang out all day with their daddy and go to a NFL football game.

Madeline, Chloe, Campbell, Mackenna, Coach Travis

What can you do with an orange?

Hope to put a smile on your face!

I just had to post this video just for Chloe's laugh. It is PRICEless!

Happy Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Playoffs here we come!

Tonight is our first playoff game! Let me tell you my hubby did not sleep last night. He was up around 5:30 this morning and decided to just head up to school. The Chiefs have had a great season this year. We are 9-1! A great stride from last year, for sure. Personally, I think it all has to do with the new defensive coordinator! I will let you in on a little secret.....I have a crush on him. He is so cute. Let me share a few picture of him in action.

Oz is kneeling in the center.

This time of the year is so bittersweet. If they lose tonight the season is over but if they win, they will keep playing each week until they lose. So this could go on til mid December. Do you see my dilemma. I want them to win b/c they have worked so stinkin hard to get this far but man I miss my husband and I'm so ready to have his help around here again. Don't get me wrong, when he is home he is very helpful but he doesn't come home until 7:00 and he even has to work on the weekends. So we just miss him. But I really do want them to WIN!

Oz, we are your #1 fans and we are so proud of you. Go get 'em tonight! Go CHIEFS!!!!!!!

Attitude of Gratitude #5

Meet my little sister Jenna. She is a mom of 3 precious little children, a wife, and a photographer.

Jenna just kinda discovered her gift of photography a few years ago. She wanted pictures of her growing children, so she would just set up little back drops in her living room and snap away. Well she got really good at it and people started asking her to do photos of their own children and then their friends children and word got around. Now she has her own little business Daily Life Photography.

I am so thankful for her special gift b/c she has helped capture precious moments of my own 3 children I could have never gotten myself. I just so enjoy looking at all my photos in my home and just smile and think back to those special memories.......Campbell's missing front teeth, Chloe's chubby little cheeks, Cooper's precious newborn hands and feet. Each photo just tugs on my heart in different ways.

Jenna always is willing to lug all her photo equipment at my demands and snap pics of my kids for FREE! Now how awesome is that. No, don't you expect it too! That is my special privilege of being her big sis. I consider it a privilege to be her big sis and I love her soooo much. I am so thankful that my sisters are my best friends! I just wish we all lived next door to each other or maybe at least in the same state!

All of my photo's on my header and side bar are all photo's done by Jenna. Isn't she awesome.

I am thankful for you, Jenna. Thanks for all you do! LOve you!

P.S. I find it very pitiful that I don't have a picture of my sister. I promise next time we are together we have to have a photo shoot! Pinky Swear.

Flash that smile

Look who has a new smile.....................

I hope you noticed the food still on his face and teeth!

Let me tell you, he thinks he is pretty cool with his new braces. He just can't quit looking at himself in the mirror. It is actually pretty funny! The ortho told us a few weeks ago there would be a possibility of braces and Campbell has been hoping ever since that it would come true! He chose the gold and black rubber bands for his daddy's football team.

I just can't get use to his new smile. It kinda makes me feel sad b/c he just looks so grown up. :(

I just love my kids. Can't we just keep them little forever?

Giblets and all

Ladies, grab your apron and roll up your sleeves. You have to try this new rotisserie chicken recipe we had today for our Sunday afternoon meal! Thanks to my friend Heidi who gave me this delicious recipe, the spices, and the roasting pan to borrow (mine is still in a box in the garage). Yes, I did make the chicken. This was my first attempt to make a whole chicken. It was scary, especially when I opened up the chicken and saw a bag of giblets in its you know what. I took a few deep breaths and put my hand inside and pulled it out. It wasn't that bad.

Look....It turned out so pretty!

Here is Ozzie carving the chicken..........
and then I caught him sneaking a sample..............

Girls, don't be afraid. It really is easy and your husband will love it and love you even more! Isn't the way to a man's heart through his stomach?
Look what I got from my happy hubby................


Here is the yummy recipe...............

Roast Sticky Chicken-Rotisserie Style

Ingredients:

4 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 onions, quartered
2 (4 pound) whole chickens

Directions:

In a small bowl, mix together salt, paprika, onion powder, thyme, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.Remove and discard giblets from chicken.Rinse chicken cavity, and pat dry with paper towel.Rub each chicken inside and out with spice mixture.Place 1 onion into the cavity of each chicken.Place chickens in a resealable bag or double wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 to 6 hours.Preheat oven to 250 degrees.Place chickens in a roasting pan.Bake uncovered for 5 hours, to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees F (85 degrees C). Let the chickens stand for 10 minutes before carving

I rubbed melted butter inside and outside of the chicken before I rubbed with the spices. It is a great Sunday meal b/c all the prep work is done the night before and it cooks while you are at church.

Enjoy!

Dolled up corkboard.

O.K., I am getting crafty in my ole ripe age of 34! Maybe I have to be crafty b/c I'm trying so hard to be thrifty. I see things I like and I can't afford it so why not figure out how to make it! Right?

So, I'm always looking for ways to stay organized and on top of the kids various activities. I want things to be functional but also cute.

I bought this regular ole cork board at IKEA for like $4. Then I decided to paint the trim around it a funky green.

I found this darling fabric at Hobby Lobby and just stapled it onto the cork board.

I would recommend a crafting stapler and not a desk stapler like I used. Let me just say I was getting a little frustrated with the bending of my staples.

Anyways, I also found little jewels in the scrapbooking section and hot glued them on plain gold tacks I already had at home. They just look much cuter.

So this whole project cost me about $7.oo.

Now I feel cutely organized! Is that such a thing?

More P's?

I love my "P" shrine. I just added 2 new "P"'s. I ordered the P on the mirror from Uppercase Living (Love, Love Uppercase living). My sweet friend Heather went on the hunt to Home Goods with me to find a mirror to put my P on and then she bought it for me for my birthday! My goal was to use the P somewhere I could take it with me since we live in a rental. Goal accomplished!
The 2nd P, leaning against the vase was a wedding gift from my friend Sara. It was gold and I spray painted it black. Just like I do everything else. I love my black spray paint!

You may be thinking I have a small obsession with the letter P. I call it a collection and you call it an obsession. I just think I am proud to be a Price and I'm showing it! How could I not love this man? He helps me with the dishes!

Masterpieces

Chloe's pumpkin

Campbell's 3 eyed pumpkin that is saying BOO!

Our ritual for carving pumpkins is the kids draw with a sharpie on the pumpkin the face or whatever their little creative hearts desire and then daddy gets the BIG carving knife out and finishes up their little masterpieces.

What is your carving traditions?

Trick or Treat!

Meet my cute little trick or treaters......A ghost, A 50's girl, and A green frog.

How can you resist giving candy to these 3! :)

We had a fun night and ended up with tons of candy! Cooper even got the hang of running door to door.

How cool was this. Some guy was letting the kids make smores instead of passing out candy! What fun!

No dog here!

You may be thinking that our dog really got busy licking this window. Nope, no dog in our home but I did find the window licking, drooling culprit!

Isn't he much cuter than any ole dog? I did leave the drool mess on the window for a little while. It just brought a smile to my face.
