Apple C'Hill' 2009

Ludakrissy and A-train came to visit for the weekend. There were some fall activities, a couple steaks got taken down, maybe some crossword puzzles....

First we had to go to the farmers market to get some winter hats. I think somebody has a new crush... It was love at first sight - first sight of the steps in his hair!

What am I supposed to do about this cuteness? Ridiculous! Out of control!

Family Photo Time! Yay! Baby come back......

Halloween + Rozzi's Blessing = Craziness!

Wow! This weekend was intense! Here's a million pics of the craziness!

Rozzi's 1st Halloween! Her pumpkin doubles as an evil face/Rossingol rooster. She was too small to fit in any costumes so we had to improvise with my stay-at-home-mom craft skills. Yep, that pumpkin headband was 100% homemade!

Whewww! That was a long weekend!
I feel the same way!

Just messing around with my camera. Thought these turned out pretty cute. She has 3 outfits that aren't pink; this is one of them!

What's this all about?

Apparently babies like to be held like this. Who knew?

*Take note of the Panda feet - ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!

Beans + Cheese = Crazy Delicious!

This is our new favorite thing! I found it on Heather's blog, which always has good stuff on it. You have to try it!

WHITE CHILI

• 2 Tbs. olive oil
• 2 medium onions, chopped
• 1 - 4 oz can chopped green chilies
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 tsp. cumin
• 1 1/2 tsp. oregano
• 4 chicken breats, cooked and shredded
• 5 cups chicken broth
• 3 - 16 oz cans of white beans, undrained
• 3 cups Monterey Jack Cheese, shredded (Pepper Jack is even better!)

Directions:
Saute onions, green chilies and garlic in olive oil and add spices. Combine beans, broth, and chicken with onion mixture. Stir over medium heat and gradually add the grated jack cheese. Stir until all cheese is melted and combined well with other ingredients. Heat to desired temperature. *I would halve it if you are only cooking for 2 people, but don't halve the spices!

Merced Gateway Triathlon

He just doesn't stop! Energizer bunny up in hur! The week after his hundred mile ride Jeff did a triathlon in Merced. He was pretty excited because it was held at the college where he played waterpolo all through high school. Oh the good old days...back in the '90s!

The first event was an 800 meter swim. Here's a great shot of Jeff's arm! It's the one with the watch on it.

Then there was a 28 mile bike ride. Don't worry he got 3 flats on the ride...BUZZ KILL!!!
It ended with a 6 mile run - piece of cake! JK... I was dying after 20 minutes of Jillian Michael's workout video today! (Remember I had a baby though? ...Yeah, I did.) Don't think he didn't take 3rd place cuz he did! Rozzi was so proud!

She's Back!

Here's the latest of Miss America...

She looooves riding in the car! Raise the roof!My favorite outfit....little snug bug...Passed out! She hates the tub! ...But loves the warm towel rub and foot massage with lotion after! Lucky punk!
Ahhhhh....Daddy likes you when you're sleeping! Hint* Hint*
Peace out y'all! Happy 1 month B-day Lil' Chica!
