Cooking Group

My sister Jennifer decided to start a cooking group and she invited me and Amie to join.  We got together last Friday and made a couple of freezer dishes.  It was so fun to get together and it made cooking 3 meals (turned into 7 for me since it's just Jase and I) so much easier.  We decided that we would each bring a recipe to make.  Jennifer brought a tortellini dish recipe that has marinara and cheese striped with alfredo sauce.   Amie brought sloppy joe recipe and I brought a recipe for chicken and rice soup that is to die for.  (I stole it from my cousin Holly) Honestly I could eat this soup everyday.  We decided to get together once a month and I'm so excited.  It's fun to get to try new recipes and have help making them.  Cooking was a little difficult because we had all of our kids there (Jenn's 5, my two and Amie's 1.5) and my kids were really having a hard day so thanks to my sisters for helping me cook and take care of my kiddos!

I really meant to take some pictures of us cooking and of the dishes that we made but I was a slacker and didn't so here is the only picture I have of me and my sisters.  Next month I'll be better about taking pics.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's day!  This has never been my favority holiday but this year I really was looking forward to it.  The girls got some valentine's from their grandparents and lots of sugar that someone (me) had to eat :)  Jase and I decided to stay in on Valentine's day and go out on President's day since he had the day off.  We went to see This Means War and ate at Ruby River.  It was so nice and fun to get out just the two of us.

Happy 18 months and 9 months!

 Jase and I have been married for a whole 18 months!  It for sure doesn't feel like it's been a year and half but it has.  We have had a busy and exciting married life so far with many ups and downs (mostly ups) and I can't wait to see what the future will hold for us and our little family!  Happy 18 months!

Our wedding day

On our honeymoon

Our girls were 9 months old on the 8 of February!  The time has flown by.  I was just looking at their pictures from when they came home from the NICU and I can't believe how much they have grown since then.  They have the funniest little personalities and they love to laugh at pretty much everything.  They are pros at rolling around and sitting up.  They love to eat vegetables (not such big fans of fruit) and oatmeal.  Hopefully they will be crawling by the end of this month and maybe even get a tooth or two :)  We are so grateful for two beautiful and healthy little girls.  Our lives are so blessed to be able to have these sweet spirits in our family.

I love Isabelle's face in this picture.  She was right in the middle of a big giggle.

Olvia's sweet face.

Isabelle has been obsessed with her tongue lately.  She is always sticking it out.
