Passy or talking?

Cooper is still not talking alot yet. He is really starting to try. I know, I know we really need to take that passy away but he loves it and we sure love it when he's cranky and sleeping!

It's so cute, lately he is obsessed with watching blue's clue's and he always tries to sing the song along with Steve and says "Think, Think, Think" and puts his hands on each cheek like Steve does. Cracks us up! I can actually understand him when he says his version of blue's clue's.

See, he is coming along. Who needs a speech therapist?!? We will see what the pediatrician says at his 2 yr check up since she recommended speech therapy at 18 mnths. Why would Cooper want to talk when he has 2 older siblings that do it all for him?

Ahhh the joys of being the youngest child..... just like his daddy!

sponge rollers, legos, and flip flops

Chloe asked me to put sponge rollers in her hair after her bath.
She likes to wear rollers b/c that means we

don't have to blow dry her hair.

She has alot of thick hair so it takes a long time

to dry it. We don't let her go to bed with it

wet b/c she would wake up with wet,nappy hair.

She is so cute in her little aqua rollers. It reminds me of

my Grandma Edith. She use to wrap her hair

in toliet paper every night before bed.

I never thought it was wierd b/c

I just thought that's what Grandma's did, ya

know to keep their hair looking nice.

Oh, I miss my Grandma. She was the best.

Campbell bought some star wars lego's with Christmas money

from Trooper and Nanny.

Somehow he almost

had Chloe convinced to buy some too with her money.

She is all girl, she opted for polka-dot flip flops.

That's my girl!!!!

Hearts, Hearts, and more Hearts

How was your love weekend??? We enjoyed ours!

Oz and I enjoyed dinner at PF Changs and a little shopping on Friday night. We were beating the Valentines rush. PF Changs was oh so yummy.....it was our 1st time.

Boy those chop sticks are tricky......

And then we went off to browse at Anthropologie,
Well.....
I browsed while Ozzie read a book.
He waited for me patiently.

Oh how I love this store! I could browse in there forever..........

Oh, how I love this man!

strawberry banana smoothies

Dinner-heart shaped pizza

Dessert-heart shaped suckers-all day long!!!!!!

Now it's time to get off that sugar high.......

Happy Love day to all!

It has been a little while...........

I guess I've been uninspired?...not motivated?....pre-occupied?....

I sense a change is coming in the Price's life.

Change so soon?????

I usually love change. I find it exciting and fun but it is

the waiting and wondering and praying

that gets tiresome.

The head football coach where Oz is teaching/coaching is leaving.

Oz is interviewing for the head job (2nd interview today)

He is also interviewing at another school.

A new coach can come and bring his own staff....

Will he keep Oz? Will Oz want to stay?

So many unanswered questions.

We just so want to do what the Lord has for us.

Where Oz can be most effective in his ministry.

I pray we stay around here. I love it,

the kids love it.

Great friends

Great neighborhood

Great schools

Awesome church

But it isn't in our hands. Right?

and that is what is comforting....God knows

and as long as we seek to please and serve him

everything else will fall into place.

My home is not defined by where I live....

my home is where my family is!

I'll keep ya updated! Praying for Ozzie today.

Love you so........

P.S. Isn't my lil sis awesome....she took these pics. Go check her out. Daily Life Photography!

CHEEKY!

...........LOVE those chubby, soft, good smelling cheeks

.........I just can't resist!!!!!!!

I guess that is why they are always red and chapped!

Just so stinkin' kissable....

The B-I-B-L-E.....

To stumble upon this the other night just makes my heart glad...........................

Just reading his bible and underlining verses from his Awana book. I just couldn't tell him to turn off his little reading light and tell him to go to sleep.........he was reading his BIBLE!

Oh how I pray he will soak in these precious words and retain them and be able to recall them when he is tempted to do wrong or wanting to be like the crowd or needing comfort or leading a friend to the Lord.

and this makes my heart even gladder.......is that a word?

Daddy snuggling in bed, reading with his boy....................

thank-you Lord for your many blessings!

Muffins

Just thought I'd share a yummy muffin recipe per request by a couple of ya......

Strawberry-Banana Muffins

Ingredients: 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (I use salted butter)
3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries (cut into small pieces)
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffins pan with paper liners

Melt butter and set aside.

In a medium sized bowl whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and mashed bananas. Add the melted butter to the brown sugar mixture and stir to combine.

In another large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gently fold in the berries, making sure they are coated with flour. This helps to prevent the berries from sinking during baking. Do not over mix or the berries will end up coloring the batter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir only until the ingredients are just combined. Do not over mix the batter or tough muffins will result.

Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full of batter. Place in the oven and bake until a tester inserted in the center of muffin comes out clean, 20-25 minutes.

Makes 12 regular sized muffins.
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!
