Ryan and Jamie both had colds over the weekend and were coughing and such.. BUT...<br /></div>I am so lucky! I really feel that way. It really feels like a victory getting to today!

And that is not just because it has been really windy, and it wakes me up at night.... </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">It's funny because I have had both the storm and the calm after. Some days I am exhausted as I await the birth of our baby girl and feel like I can do nothing but eat toast and take baths. Other days I cant seem to find the time to rest. Although right now doctors orders, I have to REST MORE. {i really have a hard time with the concept}</span><br /><br /><div><div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">To sum it up here is what we have been up to... </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">Family Weddings, my cousin Justin was married 2 weeks ago, I was unable to attend as it was in Boise, {and well what if my water broke?} It was just too far! I wish them the very best! Another Family Friend was Married last Friday, I was able to attend the Ceremony in the Salt Lake Temple, and the lovely dinner that night. I love a beautiful Wedding! </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">My Sister had her baby on Sunday, we were able to hold baby Cameron just a few hours later she is adorable and went home last night! </span></div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S-Go_r8kuQI/AAAAAAAAGH8/Plk2vThrSXA/s1600/DSC_0133.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 265px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467837234686507266" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S-Go_r8kuQI/AAAAAAAAGH8/Plk2vThrSXA/s400/DSC_0133.JPG" /></a><br /></div><span style="font-family:courier new;">{grandma with the new baby}</span><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">But, first we had to Celebrate these little girl cousins!

Ryan will. no longer be an "only". It seems a bit strange, of course I am excited, but I cant help but wonder what he will think about all of the changes that are coming. I remember the day he was born and the weeks that followed. They were so special. I could not get enough of him. He has been my buddy for almost four years. I am glad I had that time to be with him, and the chance to really get to know him.</span><br /><br /><div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S8U1UBid4sI/AAAAAAAAGGc/oni0tUVpDtA/s1600/DSC_0646.JPG"><span style="font-family:courier new;"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 265px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459828741383250626" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S8U1UBid4sI/AAAAAAAAGGc/oni0tUVpDtA/s400/DSC_0646.JPG" /></span></a><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">He loves to be right next to me,on me, or touching me, {sometimes I might want to be left alone}but he loves to be close to me and I know someday I will really miss that! </span></div><div> </div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">He is my protector and my biggest fan. He cheers me on in all I do. He always asks if I am OK. Or he will say how are you feeling? I guess I do that to him, but it is so sweet when he asks me too! </span></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S8U7LvA6xWI/AAAAAAAAGGs/qRlCU0eRUYg/s1600/DSC_0605.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 265px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459835196041512290" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S8U7LvA6xWI/AAAAAAAAGGs/qRlCU0eRUYg/s400/DSC_0605.JPG" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">He has to say his prayers with out help,and he is getting so good at it. Sometimes I will remind him of all the things we are grateful for before prayer, and he amazingly remembers all of them. After he insists I sing at least three songs before he will even consider going to sleep. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">He likes to eat the same things as me, things daddy will not eat, like tuna sandwiches, and grapefruit and oatmeal, frozen berries and salads. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">He tells me he loves me all day, and will tenderly caress my face just to tell me. He also asks me "Mommy are you my friend? "and I always say yes, It really is sweet,he needs to be reassured, especially when he has a tendency to get into lots of scrapes! </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">In the morning as soon as the sun comes up, he runs into our room and tells me "the sun is awake", and has to join me in bed and cuddle. </span></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S8U8Y436_OI/AAAAAAAAGG0/gZYNtf6z-Tg/s1600/DSC_0389.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 265px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459836521538059490" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S8U8Y436_OI/AAAAAAAAGG0/gZYNtf6z-Tg/s400/DSC_0389.JPG" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">I love his enthusiasm, and love and concern for others. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">He is excited to turn Four and wants to have a Pirate Party, he talks about it every day. I think I have created a party planner. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">He loves to talk on the phone, and will ask me to call "Grandma", if she doesn't answer he goes right down the list of any and all family members until someone answers. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Courier New;">He is funny!And likes to dance,and sing!</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">He is excited about his baby sister and asks me if she is asleep in my belly or awake, if I say awake he asks to kiss her. </span><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S8U-AK84o3I/AAAAAAAAGG8/kBAwLASu_4s/s1600/DSC_0294.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 265px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459838295917241202" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S8U-AK84o3I/AAAAAAAAGG8/kBAwLASu_4s/s400/DSC_0294.JPG" /></a></div><div><span style="font-family:Courier New;">Lastly He lets me dress him and do his hair any way I want, and has no preference at all, I hope he is always like that! </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">I love my little boy, and I am trying to enjoy every moment I have left with him as my one and only.</span> </div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/810559458069148078-5351439104278422704?l=emilyandjamie.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10032404391105253773noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810559458069148078.post-17990488092425466582010-04-12T10:10:00.001-07:002010-04-12T10:50:39.049-07:00<span style="font-family:courier new;">Even though I only have a preschooler, we decided to have a Spring Break too!

I have an obvious baby bump, and I actually like it. I don't know if it is just because with a second pregnancy you are so much more relaxed... But the first time I remember feeling so stressed, and feeling so unattractive. This time I have come to terms with the changes, and know that I can't do much about it. I think also that because it took so long to conceive this baby, I am just happy to be having the experience. </span><br /></div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S4wCJ5IiDWI/AAAAAAAAGBc/3Fc1MSzTDcY/s1600-h/DSC_0035.JPG"><span style="font-family:courier new;"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443728418562772322" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S4wCJ5IiDWI/AAAAAAAAGBc/3Fc1MSzTDcY/s400/DSC_0035.JPG" /></span></a><span style="font-family:courier new;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:courier new;"><strong>{hello baby sister}</strong></span><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">Ryan is excited for his Sister to get here. Not a day goes by that he doesn't talk to her, or rub my belly. I think it is sweet, he knows she is coming sometime close to his birthday, so he doesn't really ask me when she is coming, he knows she is still growing. {We were watching a movie one night this week, and I wasn't thinking about editing,the actress had a baby, and now Ryan knows where the baby comes out.} He reminds me daily that "the baby is coming out of your.......... right mom?" and he points. Some of you might think it is inappropriate, but I try not to lose sleep over it. At least its the truth right? I was so caught up in the beauty of birth that I completely forgot to cover his eyes or pause the movie. Why is it that pregnant women cry every time they see a birth? I cant help it I cry every time, its such a miracle. </span><br /></div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S4wZto5kpkI/AAAAAAAAGB0/Zxg1Na7GyLs/s1600-h/DSC_0034.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443754321447790146" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S4wZto5kpkI/AAAAAAAAGB0/Zxg1Na7GyLs/s400/DSC_0034.JPG" /></a><br /><strong><span style="font-family:courier new;">{kick baby kick}</span> </strong><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">This week has been my downfall, Up to this point I have led a relatively healthy pregnancy. eating healthy, trying to walk, drinking tons of water. This past week I went to Cafe Rio <span style="font-size:180%;">4</span> times... I had a Huge Diet Coke at each of these excursions. Its the honest truth, I made cookies twice, and helped plan a party with a Chocolate Fountain. I think I consumed over a half cup of pure Belgian Milk Chocolate. I started feeling more sluggish and swollen. So today I start over, back to normal I guess.. And back to feeling good. </span></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S4wbuVTs_tI/AAAAAAAAGCE/-HwwdmOXuQo/s1600-h/DSC_0050.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443756532391804626" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S4wbuVTs_tI/AAAAAAAAGCE/-HwwdmOXuQo/s400/DSC_0050.JPG" /></a><br /><div><strong>{playing hide and seek}</strong></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">Later this month I have another ultrasound scheduled. During the first one, the baby was so active and moving so much the technician couldn't get a good look at her heart. So I get to see my baby again. I am excited, I think ultrasounds are so much fun!<br /><br />I had a pregnancy moment last week, I had bought this cute headband with a rather large vintage flower on the side. I felt like I needed some fun hair accessories. So I wore it on a date and Jamie HATED it. He told me so and continued to tell me that a huge black flower on his wives head was not cute! I didn't care because I really liked it, so I wore it proudly. Last weekend Jamie was teasing me and took it off my head and in the process broke it. It must have been hormones because I cried... Not a little cry..... a full on hysterical fest with splotchy cheeks and mascara running down my chin. He felt so bad to say the least that he insisted we go shopping immediately. I calmed down and came home with two new maternity outfits. I think I am happier with those then with the huge black flower headband. Definitely not one of my best pregnant moments. Poor Ryan thought daddy was so terrible for breaking Mommy's Head band, that he cried too! {he always has my back!} </span></div><div> </div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">Last weekend Jamie was in St George, so I took Ryan on a special date. We went to dinner and to see The Princess and the Frog, he kept saying how special our date was. During the movie he kept saying, this is a special movie Mommy. I think he was so happy to have a night out with just Mom. It was a great memory and he was such a fun date!</span></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/810559458069148078-517807317479894909?l=emilyandjamie.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10032404391105253773noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810559458069148078.post-12845791471741495572010-02-14T13:46:00.000-08:002010-02-14T13:48:59.367-08:00<span style="font-family:courier new;"> I hope your day was filled with LOVE! </span><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S3hvmAMVlwI/AAAAAAAAGBM/YWxBgDKB2Sk/s1600-h/DSC_0017.JPG"><span style="font-family:courier new;"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438219248727332610" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S3hvmAMVlwI/AAAAAAAAGBM/YWxBgDKB2Sk/s400/DSC_0017.JPG" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">xoxo Emily</span> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/810559458069148078-1284579147174149557?l=emilyandjamie.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10032404391105253773noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810559458069148078.post-69568494822691217232010-02-10T17:06:00.001-08:002010-02-10T17:12:28.538-08:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S3NYefuKsrI/AAAAAAAAGBE/vCTH5YSKRB4/s1600-h/Meyer+lemon+curd+cheesecake.jpg"><span style="font-family:courier new;"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436786456100778674" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/S3NYefuKsrI/AAAAAAAAGBE/vCTH5YSKRB4/s400/Meyer+lemon+curd+cheesecake.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-family:courier new;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">I am craving any and all things lemon.

I am amazed at my willpower, I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">didn't</span> know I had it in me. The envelope seemed to stare at me from the Tree, so I put it in a bag and put it behind the tree, problem solved.

Here is what we have been up to: </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Ryan and I headed to Laguna Beach for Thanksgiving {sigh, I love that place}.. We missed having Jamie with us, but the Guy didn't want to miss his <span style="font-size:130%;">"Turkey Bowl"</span> that he organised himself.. , and I guess he had to work too. So we enjoyed the warm weather, and beautiful beaches without him. Ryan and I went on long walk every morning and found lots of sea glass! He was a great partner. I shopped, and had the best Guacamole with my other Pregnant sister Cassi, over looking the ocean, I bought my first pair of rainbows..{flip flops, if you dont know}and we had Thanksgiving with the ocean waves in the background. It was Perfect! </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:courier new;">My cousin Josh was married the weekend after Thanksgiving in Los Angeles, <span style="font-size:85%;">{the real reason we were there}.</span> It was such a fun and festive wedding, I danced till my feet hurt, pregnant belly and all, and the <span style="font-size:130%;">baby started moving like crazy</span>, I guess it isn't used to that much excitement{ever} but get me in a Lebanese restaurant with live Middle Eastern Music,and the best kabobs.. and I can't help but shake my thing. Ryan slept through the entire reception on a bench in the back,{it was nice} the funny thing is it was so <span style="font-size:180%;">LOUD </span>in that Restaurant, I couldn't believe how hard he slept. And when he woke up as we were leaving, my sister asked him if he liked the party, He got so excited and said YES A PARTY! And he really meant it, he had fun, I wonder what he was dreaming? </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:courier new;">So far this December has been COLD! But we love the snow, and Christmas Music, and Christmas Movies, I cant help but love everything about this time of Year! I am planning our Church Christmas Party, it will be this coming Saturday, I will post more later. I have more lists to make... </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:courier new;">Mom and Baby are doing good, I have been feeling the baby move and it is the most amazing feeling. I am so excited to meet him or her! </span><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/Sx_kWt_1xWI/AAAAAAAAF68/iaHJZZyxqGM/s1600-h/128.JPG"><span style="font-family:courier new;"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413296356078241122" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/Sx_kWt_1xWI/AAAAAAAAF68/iaHJZZyxqGM/s400/128.JPG" /></span></a><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Ryan loves the snow, and I have tried to let him play outside every day, I need to get out of the house too, and the cool air feels so good to me!

Well I have been busy you see, sickly too, and tired... Oh and very nauseated. I hate the smell of my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Refrigerator</span> and have been known to leave the room when someone opens it. And my husband smells funny to me too! You guessed it, we are expecting <span style="font-size:180%;">Baby #2</span> sometime in May. </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;">Our life has been turned upside down,I have been eating <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">grape nuts</span> and pellet ice,and I have resigned from cooking...ever again, <span style="font-size:85%;">{hopefully I will change my mind in a few weeks..}</span>I have been barely functioning normally that is. But maybe that means its a girl? Because I did not go through this the first time. </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;">Today is my silver lining, I feel pretty good and have started cleaning up the neglect from the past month. I have the blinds open, and there is snow, and somehow snow always puts a smile on my face. Even if it is October. </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;">My computer is broken and it needs to go into the shop.

But it works... </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;">And I am so very excited, because babies are the best, don't you think, and I have really wanted one for quite sometime. But things like this happen when they are supposed to I suppose. And we couldn't be happier.

Instead of stressing out and filling our schedule to the max, we spent our time at the Beach, walking,playing and collecting,jumping waves and exploring the many tide pools and beaches. We went swimming, made healthy organic meals. Played tennis and walked along the Pacific Coast Highway, browsing Art and Surf shops. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;">We did Venture up to Newport Beach to walk the boardwalk and to visit Seaside Doughnuts {yum}. At night we played Games and walked along the sand, and watched the sunsets. The highlight for me was sleeping to the sound of the waves,watching Ryan play in the sand,eating amazing Gelatto and Z's Pizza.,morning walks on the Beach, time for reflection, and a fun coastal drive in the convertible with Jamie...

They had large bright umbrellas in case of rain, we grabbed one and off we went to explore. It <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">wasn't</span> long before a huge storm blew in. I decided we should find shelter and saw a tent up ahead. It looked sturdy enough and so Ryan and I went and sat under it and the rain pounded above us... It was our adventure,we were cozy and dry... I let Ryan jump around and play with the umbrella.. <span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>HE WAS SO HAPPY.</strong></span> I started singing... the song from the sound of music..."Raindrops on Roses"{ We were the only people left in the gardens,and it <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">seemed</span> to fit the mood} He danced and played.

We have loads of pictures, and excursions to document... Instead I will save that for next week... But many of you asked for my Peanut Butter Choc Chip Cookie Recipe. These are so good, you might just want to make them for your Fourth of July Parties Tomorrow. This weekend will be so fun, starting with a Rodeo Tonight and Tomorrows Bike Parade and Breakfast.. We are taking the Boat out, Swimming, BBQing, Watching Fireworks, and going up the Canyon for Smores and Dutch Oven Cooking Stay Tuned!</span><br /><br /><p align="left"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/Sk5SgQKzP4I/AAAAAAAAEtw/9GUGVw1Q870/s1600-h/peanut+butter+choc+chip+cookies.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354307721039658882" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/Sk5SgQKzP4I/AAAAAAAAEtw/9GUGVw1Q870/s400/peanut+butter+choc+chip+cookies.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"></span><br /><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:180%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span> </div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span> </div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span> </div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span> </div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span> </div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:78%;">{picture from </span><a href="http://thenoshery.com/2009/06/08/peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies/"><span style="font-size:78%;">here</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">}</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><span style="font-size:180%;"></span><span style="font-size:180%;">Peanut Butter Choc Chippers</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">1 ¼ cup flour</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">¾ tsp baking soda</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">¼ salt</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">½ tsp baking powder</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">½ cup butter, softened</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">1 cup peanut butter</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">¾ cup sugar</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">½ cup light brown sugar</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">1 large egg</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">1 Tbsp milk</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">1 tsp vanilla</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips {you can substitute for 1/2 cup peanut butter chips and 1/2 cup choc chips}</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Sugar in a bowl for dipping</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Preheat oven 350 degrees In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and baking powder, and salt.

Or the Carts that have a car in front? I am assuming that you have experienced similar situations. Your child wants to ride in the car, but two minutes into the ride, they want out, and now you have to maneuver the HUGE cart through the grocery store,until your child finds an abandoned "kid sized cart" and goes running rapid through the store until he runs right into someone. You cant keep up with your child, because you are driving a bus of a cart yourself. </span><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/SjPaQmM4xAI/AAAAAAAAEfQ/pY7mKx-9zFk/s1600-h/May+and+June+2009+Ryans+B+day,+Zoo+and+Reunion+396.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346857161286272002" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/SjPaQmM4xAI/AAAAAAAAEfQ/pY7mKx-9zFk/s400/May+and+June+2009+Ryans+B+day,+Zoo+and+Reunion+396.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">Sometimes you just need one thing in the store, and you just need to Hurry and make it quick.

The difference was, I was in no rush, I was relaxed and had plenty of time to kill. So when Ryan ran straight for the kids sized cart I smiled, and gave him the OK and off we went. I told him what to put in the cart, he was a champ and he was so happy to help... It was bittersweet, he didn't run around with the cart, he stayed by my side loading in only what I told him. He was immensely proud of himself... He is growing up so fast...</span></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/SjPasrZ71UI/AAAAAAAAEfo/cpGrU4Y9oNs/s1600-h/May+and+June+2009+Ryans+B+day,+Zoo+and+Reunion+407.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346857643719513410" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wmtiq75m9PM/SjPasrZ71UI/AAAAAAAAEfo/cpGrU4Y9oNs/s400/May+and+June+2009+Ryans+B+day,+Zoo+and+Reunion+407.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">The only indication that he is Three years old was that he wanted a sticker for being good in line, at Smiths they will give your child a sticker as you check out.

In these individual quiches, broccoli gives the creamy cheddar and egg a nice crunch; eliminating the crust cuts down on baking time.<br />Ingredients<br />Makes 4.<br />Butter, for ramekins<br />Coarse salt<br />1 package (10 ounces) frozen broccoli florets<br />6 large eggs<br />1/2 cup half-and-half<br />Ground pepper<br />1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg<br />3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (3 ounces)<br />Crusty bread and mixed salad (optional)<br />Directions<br />Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter four 8-ounce ramekins (or a 9-inch pie dish); set aside. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add broccoli; cook 1 minute.
