Recipes needed!!!!!

I am trying to put together a recipe book that has simple things that I can make for my family before I go to work. So please, everyone send me your favorites! Also I am looking for some really fun and inexpensive ways to decorate my house for the upcoming holidays, so if you have any ideas let me know!

We measured Gage and Gaven today, Gage is 41.5 inches, and Gaven is 33 inches. They have gotten really big this summer. I can tell the biggest differences in Gaven. He is saying new words everyday. He has also started to sing. His first song he learned was, of course, Bob the Builder! He also loves Popcorn Popping. Gage started preschool last Tuesday and loved it! A few of us in my ward are actually doing it and rotating houses every week. It's called Joy School if any of you have heard about it. I only have to teach once every 6 weeks or so. I just can't believe he is already big enough to do this. I am excited to get to know the mom's better and then we can have more play dates for Gage.

Well here are some pictures from this summer:



This is Gaven on Gage's birthday. He loved the motorcylce!
This was the NICU reunion, they turned the sirens on and everything!
They also got to sit inside which was really cool
Gage listens for the ice cream jeep everyday
This is at the family reunion in Idaho. Allan and Briana are the other two in the picture.
This is in the meadow out in front of the cabin.Eating a snack under the trees
waiting for the plane to come and drop the ping pong balls in the meadow
This is Gage on his birthday riding his new motorcycle.
Here is his Lightening MacQueen cake. He couldn't wait to pull him off and he didn't even eat any of the cake!

We love all of you and miss you so much!!!!!

Your boys are getting so big!! I can't believe it. I'll have to measure Samantha and see how she compares. We haven't measured her since she was 18months. Anyway, I'm at a loss for decorations...I'm really not good at that. But, I sent an email to Shell with meal ideas, so I'll forward it to you and you can let me know if you want any of the recipes. Love you guys!!

These pictures are so great! The boys are so much bigger than when I saw them last April. Did I see a picture of Chris with shorter hair or was that someone else? I can't wait to see you all in October.

SO fun! I cant get over how cute those boys are! I love the pictures you posted! As far as meal ideas go, I'm pretty bad at coming up with daily things to eat. Put me in charge of Sunday dinner and I'm fine, but during the week it's smoothies and quesadillas! Go with Steph's ideas on that one. Decorating tho...I have LOTS of ideas! This week I'm making a really easy Halloween craft with some of my creative friends out here. There are so many ways to make decorations instead of buying them! Call me for more details!
