Life With Our Little Ones: June 2015
http://mcgregormosers.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Trace Quotes and Other Moments. Early one morning in the kitchen. Me: "Good Morning, Trace.". Trace: "What does 'unadulterated loathing' mean? As I was adding events to the calendar on my wall this morning. Trace: " Mommy, when you get to the last page of your calendar and there aren't any more pages left, is that when we all die? The big girls are in charge of emptying the dishwasher. But lately, they've gotten some help. Sisters taking a ride. Cuties in pink rompers! Gma Kay Bir...

Allemans: 19 months
http://allemans.blogspot.com/2015/08/19-months.html
Friday, August 7, 2015. I totally meant to do an update post for Cora at 18 months.but I'm so behind on blogging, now she's already 19 months! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this age. She is alternately goofy and sweet and hilarious. She also has some serious moments of sass and gets easily offended when she is scolded. Wow - Cora's vocabulary has taken off! Thank you), found it! When she finds something she was looking for, hell-boo. She will gladly eat by the spoonful any time of day. Her skin is still pretty bad&...

Allemans: July 2014
http://allemans.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 28, 2014. We're going to the. Zoo, zoo, zoo! This is Jonah's "say cheese" face - apparently "cheese" has two O's in it :). We returned to the zoo this weekend for another visit. Since the forecast was calling for temps in the triple digits, we made sure to get there bright and early. It hit 80 degrees by 8:00 am, but we still enjoyed our morning wandering around North America and parts of Asia and Africa. The little-known three-headed giraffe. Of course, Cora made the trip, too! And Jonah di...

Monday, June 30, 2014. Favorite Recipes - Complete Slow-Cooker MEALS. No effort, and it would have still been a meal without the beans. Apple Pie Pork Chops. Pork chops, slow roasted with apples, potatoes and onions. Simple, but yummy! 4 pork chops, browned. 4 potatoes, cubed. 3 apples, cored and cubed. 1/2 onion, chopped. 2 T brown sugar, packed. Apple pie and pork chops sounds like a strange combination - but it totally works! A fiesta-lime chicken dish with corn, black beans and tomatoes. 1 tsp chili ...

Allemans: February 2015
http://allemans.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 20, 2015. Cora has a new nap-time routine lately. It goes a little something like this. Read a story. Rock, and sing a song or two. Looking drowsy and yawning, dive into the crib and snuggle up like she can't wait to fall asleep. As soon as Mom leaves, yank off both socks and scratch her feet until they bleed. (Eczema). Cry until Mom comes back. Diaper change. Aquaphor all over both feet; socks back on. A little more rocking, one more song. Back in the crib. And speaking of napping.

Friday, August 29, 2014. Cora learned a new trick! In other news. Brandon had the day off - first one in 18 days! Which means he only spent a few. Hours at the hospital today (Wait. what? That's not how I spend my days off). Time to get this (extra) long weekend started. Tuesday, August 26, 2014. Just a couple of kids! Kid-free, just-the-two-of-us years. New in-laws added (plus 5 nieces and nephews! Great, big adventure! No one I'd rather do this life with! Happy Anniversary, B :). Friday, August 22, 2014.

Thursday, October 30, 2014. Cross Timbers State Park. With Brandon working nights, we've been making an effort to get out of the house during the day, so that he can sleep. Yesterday we drove to Cross Timbers State Park in southeast Kansas for a morning of hiking and a picnic lunch. The weather was beautiful, and the kids had a blast. Pre-hike - happy campers. At the trail head! The hike started out really well! Taking two kids out in the woods by myself? Daddy will be so excited :). I'd say our Wednesda...

http://mcgregormosers.blogspot.com/2015/08/on-river-on-farm.html
Saturday, August 1, 2015. On the River and On the Farm. We spent all day outside in two of our favorite places. First, on the river with Gma and Gpa Great, Gma and Gpa Strutt, and Joel and Nichole! After a delicious lunch, we headed out on the little boat to spend the afternoon skiing and swimming! Nichole and I skied before the swimming, Jonathon and Nichole skied after. (I managed to snap a couple pictures while driving! And the two T's chillin' out front. Gretel got comfy in a dog bed right away.

Monday, August 3, 2015. A Visit From "Big" Mariah and "Baby" Henry. We had a lovely Monday morning that started with a quick trip across the street for pancakes. Then, just minutes after we got back home, we had company! Big Mariah and Henry were here to play! I didn't take many pictures of the kids playing. but they tried out every toy in the house! They also played some dress-up. Here is a prince proposing to a princess while Henry watched. Gretel got in some good quality time with Henry. Taryn Kathlee...
